Proverbs 23:17-18 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the fear of the Lord all the day. Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Lord you know my heart, you know that many times I do envy sinners, of the life they have. I know I naturally long to sin, long to store up treasures here on earth, and long to be praised by men. Remind me of the hope that you have promised me, and teach me how to fear you above all else, and how to store up treasures in heaven. Let me not be jealous of my neighbors, and seduced by the world. As Christ resisted, let me resist the temptations set before me.

God is good.
After getting beaten and mugged, I met an exchange student from China at the Bank of America when I was trying to obtain a temporary debit card. He overheard me speaking in chinese to my parents about shipping my passport overnight so I can fly home. He then started a brief conversation with me, but at the end I forgot to get his contact information because I was still a bit traumatized and have regretted it since.
Today I bumped into him at the gym where he basically stared at me, saying "I've met you somewhere before...ah you are the taiwanese guy from the bank!" This time I got his wechat and hopefully something will become of this opportunity.
