hmMM… i think a lot is going on right now.. especially at church.
Spiritual battle… trials and storms… every one of us have something going on.
I think Sunday’s message was comforting not only for Chris’s situation… but for all of us.

This just came to mind :

In the chaos
In confusion i know,
You’re soveriegn still
In the moment
of my weakness
You give me grace
to do Your will

When you call
i wont delay
This my song
through all my days

- These words are soooo powerful right now…to me. There is a lot going on. Everywhere… to a lot of people
It’s chaotic… we’re confused… weak… But He gives us grace to do His will.
And through these hard times… am i going to respond to Him or will i leave Him??
Will you respond to Him? Or will you leave Him??

It reminds me of what John said on Sunday. I’m sorry for not saying it exactly.. but my understanding was…
Even if it brings me suffering … if His will will be done through me… then i will endure it. I have to.. its for Him. All for Him.
What is pain right now… will bring glory to Him in the outcome.

I know we have our trials for a reason. It only took me that recently to realize. There’s a difference between saying you understand trials come your way for perseverance.. and to know that trials produce perseverance. I hope all of us just dont know it… but we come to understand/believe it through our hardest moments.

It’s scary to pray that we want to know the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, and becoming like Him in His death. Takes a lot more than .. talk. More than mere words.

“But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.”

- Phillipians 3:7-11

My brother Chris is in the hospital right now. You may know him or not, but whoever comes across this post..

please take even a few seconds out of your time to lift him up in a prayer.

Test results come out Monday…

Please pray that it be nothing serious..and for fast recovery.

God is not looking for burned-out, guilt-ridden evangelists to change the world.

Instead, God is looking for people who are madly in love with his Son,

experience him as the best joy in all the world and therefore cannot contain their joy in God.

That is what it means to be sent as a witness.

i was so excited when i saw a note from my english professor that class was cancelled today! i finalllly got to watch heroes on tv..

Actually i only saw up to like episode 12 or something.. so everything that happened then until today.. i skipped everything in the middle..

who is this Hope girl?? i was lost on that… and then Peter was fighting this guy with pigeons?? How did the cheerleader and her father’s relationship change so much?

i dunno..i was lost on a lot of those things… -.-

OK..so i was actually waiting for ren or brian to make fun of me.. but i will go ahead and make fun of myself.. lol

Yesterday at church i was playing table tennis with John..and he wasn’t really playing too well. So he picked up the ball and was like bouncing it..

“does it not have enough air?” i said… then John gives me the weirdest look ever. “doesn’t it inflate?” i said ….

Then he just started bursting out into laughter. Got brian and Ren’s attention.. and repeated what i said. hehehe…

What? I really thought ping pong balls didn’t last forever lol… should i die my hair blonde? ^^

 

For your heart that loves me,

For your feet that pursue me,

For your voice that calls out to me,

I thank you, O God.

Thank you for raising the questions

that draw me into a dialogue with you

about my life and how I have been living it.

Thank you for every tug of conscience

that has led to every timid step

that has brought me out in the open

in my relationship with you.

My hope, O God, my only hope,

is that you are more persistent in your seeking

than I am in my hiding.

-Ken Gire

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” – Genesis 3:8-9

Do we seek God or does He seek us?

I’ve read from many text that this question is theological? But that what we do discover is that all the while we have been pursuing God, he has been rushing toward us with reckless love, arms flung wide to hug us home. While we’re crying out, “Where are you, God?” the divine voice echoes through our hiding places, “Where are you?” This verse reminds me that since the Garden of Eden, God calls out first, and to this we answer.

i know i’m weak, i know i’m unworthy

To call upon Your name

But because of grace, because of Your mercy,

I stand here unashamed.

 

It was really great to see faces from AF1.

Just being reminded again of what i experienced then…

it brought me back to the reality of where God is in my life

right now.

 

seed sown on good soil.hear the word.accept it.and produce a crop.

-Mark 4:20
