To be mold.

Finally, I signed a contract to buy a house last Wednesday. People said "Congratulations" whenever I told them " I bought a house". However, I didn't feel excited or happiness like a child who got a Christmas gift from Santa. I tried to find out why I did not feel that way. As I mentioned earlier in my note, my husband and I gave up the house while we were waiting for the closing. There were lots of thoughts and reasons. The most important reason was that neither of us had prayed seriously about it or had God's answer. I did not intentionally want to pray about buying a house after we decided to not to buy the house.

It has been very busy since I visited Bloomington to attend Dr. Dunn's memorial service for a weekend.

Because there are tons of students who are from all over the world and states, people are open and so called "liberal" which I don't want to choose to term. However, I can't say which way is better.

On the contrary, in here, we hardly find a child like my kids, Asian even though they don't think they are different.
