Havent Met You Yet (Full/Official) - Michael Bublé

I found out that Michael Buble has a new song now titled "Haven't Met You Yet." Though i'm not a romantic, i found it appealing. I'll admit i've "talked myself up but then let myself down." And I've fallen for the idea of meeting a person who'll change my life. But why should one person change my life? I think there's something impractical about waiting around for something to change you. Then again, I suppose I haven't dated because I have been waiting for that person. or maybe I have met that person, but they or I don't even realize it yet. Truth be told, I imagine that the only way i'll end up in a relationship is if one day i'll suddenly realize that what i was looking for was right there all along :) Maybe he'll wear a sign on his shirt one day that says "A, I'm supposed to be with you dummy" Best wishes to those who are in relationships. And keep replaying the Michael Buble song for those who are not in relationships...yet.

I'm Not Surprised
Not Everything Lasts
I've Broken My Heart So Many Times,
I Stop Keeping Track.
Talk Myself In
I Talk Myself Out
I Get All Worked Up
And Then I Let Myself Down.

I Tried So Very Hard Not To Loose It
I Came Up With A Million Excuses
I Thought I Thought Of Every Possibility

And I Know Someday That It'll All Turn Out
You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid That I'll Get So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

Mmmmm ....

I Might Have To Wait
I'll Never Give Up
I Guess It's Half Timing
And The Other Half's Luck
Wherever You Are
Whenever It's Right
You Come Out Of Nowhere And Into My Life

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Baby Your Love Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Possibility

Mmmmm ......

And Somehow I Know That It Will All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid I'll Get So Much More Than I Get
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

They Say All's Fair
And In Love And War
But I Won't Need To Fight It
We'll Get It Right
And We'll Be United

And I Know That We Can Be So Amazing
And Being In Your Life Is Gonna Change Me
And Now I Can See Every Single Possibility

Mmmm .....

And Someday I Know It'll All Turn Out
And I'll Work To Work It Out
Promise You Kid I'll Get More Than I Get
Than I Get Than I Get Than I Get

Oh You Know It'll All Turn Out
And You'll Make Me Work So We Can Work To Work It Out
And I Promise You Kid To Get So Much More Than I Get
Yeah I Just Haven't Met You Yet

I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Oh Promise You Kid
To Give So Much More Than I Get

I Said Love Love Love Love Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet
Love Love Love .....
I Just Haven't Met You Yet

i'll quickly summarize what i've been up to lately before i go into the hospital to shadow.

First things first, my brother's getting married in about a month! it's kind of all surreal how it's happening and how he's going to have a family of his own (i really want to be an aunt now and i've decided that i'll be the best aunt by buying his children books every year =D  when we were younger, my family really couldn't afford to buy books, so libraries were our source of entertainment after church on Sundays. that's always something i've wanted to do: buy books when i have a stable job).  We met his fiance's family over the 4th of July weekend and it seems like he'll have great in-laws in addition to an awesome wife.  Together, I can see them leading a God-filled marriage and family.  I'm really happy for him.  I know he's prayed for spouse for a while and my parents have too for an even longer time.  So it's a great testimony how his patience and trust resulted in a blessing far greater than any of us could have imagined.   

Second, I'll be starting my summer externship with family medicine at an innercity location on Monday.  Kind of nervous with my inept diagnosis skills at this point of my training.  I'll keep an open mind and try to learn as much as I can.  It's not too far of a drive either, which I'm really thankful for.  I know one classmate of mine had to drive 50 min. one way to get to her externship site.  What i'm really looking forward to: seeing some gross things like lancing and draining an abcess.  haha, one that note, i don't know if i get queasy seeing those things live.  i hope i don't faint.

Third, I've been exercising again.  I figured out why I was so fatigued this past year and always taking naps in the library.  I went to the doctor and they drew my blood.  I was anemic, not eating enough protein!  So i've started to take supplements, including iron, and also just running 3-4 days a week outside.  I feel healthier and happier.  I hope i can keep this up once school starts, i've only got 4 weeks left and i'm only 3 weeks into my routine.  on that note, i've kind of been lazy in practicing music and my personal devotions.  I haven't opened up my Bible since Sunday and I missed Bible study this week.  Kind of sad that after being raised in a Christian family and living in the US, I lack the motivation to deepen my faith.  Though, I'll have to say that my talks with God have been more frequent throughout the day.  I often converse with Him when just waiting around at the hospital or especially during my running.  Still, I wish I knew the Bible better and be able to use it in conversation more. 

Something I prayed for this year was to be able to witness to some classmates of mine.  And two weeks ago, God answered that prayer, though in not the way I would have imagined.  Least to say, 4 of my classmates got to hear the gospel, question my faith, and still accept me as their friend, even if I may have differing beliefs.  In a way, after sharing my faith, it made me closer friends with them.  I really do love them and to see them reject the opportunity to know God broke my heart.  But I'm thankful I followed through with what I prayed for; the risk of sharing the gospel is really not that scary.  Anyhoo, as a leader serving on the Christian fellowship at my school this coming year, I'm thinking of ways the group can effectively outreach to our classmates.  That's been on my prayer list.

What else has been on my prayer list?  for the upcoming year, just strength and focus to strive for more out of my second year.  The first year was crazy.  Crazy bad during sometimes, and crazy good during others.  I've learned more about myself than years past and I've learned more about people than ever before.  I've lost some innocence and sadly learned how naive it was of me to think that you can trust people....even friends.  I don't know why God chose this year to teach me this, but losing a relationship with a person is probably one of the hardest and heartbreaking things a person can experience.  Seriously, I was tortured over the replay of scenarios and the what ifs I could have done to prevented a falling out.  But what was lost in the end, I realized, was communication. And our miscommunication was something I finally chalked it up to being unrepairable if I was the only one willing to communicate....for now.  Anything can happen from here on out.  If anything, I've seen a better picture of God's brokenheartedness over his people and learned a personal aspect of sacrifice in love.  How do you love someone who has hurt you? Somehow God did. 

So that's a quick recap.  I'm going to improve on the things I have learned and avoid mistakes I made in the past.  Like Pascal said, "we are usually convinced more easily by reasons we have found ourselves than by those which have occured to others." 

This year has convinced me of many things.
