Update

I am learning something new everyday.
Believe it or not.
Of course, I believe most of us learn something new.
I know that I haven’t blogged much deeper thoughts lately.
Part of it is that I don’t want to express myself too much.
Plus, I especially don’t want to express deep into the heart of my significant other.
My mom warned me not to put too much feelings into it.
Which is true because I was hurt in the past.
However, I put this situation through more times of thought and prayer.
Therefore, I will not talk about it from now until that day.
More of it has to do with not wanting to have any disappointment to you guys and myself.
So, I have an assignment due tomorrow and I am cramming it tonight.
Typical student like me will cram.
I think I should seriously not cram anymore or else I will lose sleep.
Time to get back to work.
I will post some interesting thoughts later.
Oh, before I publish this entry, I will throw in one convicting thought that she shared with me
"When we are so busy or too caught up with world, the first thing that we kick out in our thought is God."

It’s been almost a week since I last posted.
Quite a lot has happened actually, but I have to go home and share it with you guys.
Right now, in the midst of the supper time, I am still at school exporting my video and burning it onto a DVD.
Two assignments due tomorrow and I am on the "go".
So far, my education life has shifted quite a lot.
Comparing to my 1st year, it was quite a big turnout.
Not only am I enjoying what I am doing, but I am find myself rejoicing and being very glad about it.
God is good, all the time.
For the past week, I have been thinking quite a lot.
Thinking about what I am going to do with my degree.
Perhaps I will go into Pixar, but it’s very competitive.
Or I might go into ministry…like the youth.
So, am I going to be a Pastor?
Maybe, or maybe not.
I thought about it, but it’s all about God.
He’s the one who in control of my life.
Indeed, my heart is placed in the youth.
Not to mention, my youth Pastor will be leaving at around May.
It was quite a dramatic surprise.
He has only been at OBC for 2.5 years.
It felt like I met him yesterday.
I still remember that very moment when I first met him and his wife.
However, time sure has flew by.
I really do want to learn more from him.
Hopefully, for the next 4 months, I will get to spend more time talking to him and being discipled.
However, his teachings are all from God’s word.
Today, he taught me a better way to do the inductive bible study that is less technical.
I find that to be a very helpful method.
I desire to learn more about God’s word in the future.

Prayer for Haiti

Father, I know that You are the Sovereign God.
I know that Your purpose and Your will is greater than ours.
God, I do not know why You would allow this to happen, but I know that there is a reason for it.
Father, I ask for compassion upon Haiti.
I ask for Your grace upon Haiti.
I ask that You would forgive them for their sins, as You have forgiven my sins.
God, I know when bad things happen, You intend it for the good, the saving of many lives.
God, I lift that place up to You.
May I not be just think too plain about it.
But to have compassion for them.
God, may Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Haiti needs You, Jesus.
In Your name I pray, Amen.

Alone with God

I read today’s devotion on "My Utmost For His Highest".
As I was reading it, I was moved by the title.
So many times, I find myself with God, and with other people.
As some of you might not know, my house is noisy.
I really desire to find a place so quiet where I can be alone with God.
"He explains things to us as we are able to understand them."
"It is slow work – so slow that it takes God all of time and eternity to make a man or woman conform to His purpose."
I am not doubting God’s greatness.
Slow or Fast doesn’t matter to God’s standard.
He can do whatever He desires so for us.
In this entry, the author is pointing out that we ourselves are difficult to understand.
We don’t recognize how sinful we are.
Be humble, don’t think that we all understand ourselves.
I’m still striving to understand myself also.
I am grateful that Jesus is continually teaching me how to observe and examine myself even more.
I, myself, want to understand what it means to be the man that God intended for me to be.
Get rid of the idea of being prideful because Jesus can’t teach you or me anything if we are so arrogant and self-righteous.
"He will reveal numerous misplaced affections or desires – things over which we never thought He would have to get us alone. Many things are shown to us, often without effect. But when God gets us alone over them, they will be clear."
May be continue to find a time to be alone with God in His word and in prayer…mainly, in worship.

Indeed, you deserve better.
I am not fully ready to take it yet.
You mean to much to me already, but I feel like I have to let you go.
However, it is not I who will do things, but Christ be the center of our relationship.
He is continually pulling me back and telling me to trust Him.
The uneasiness of knowing the comprehensive of relationship.
I may understand that I, as a man, must be responsible for you.
I may understand that I must love you.
I may understand that I must lead you.
I may understand that I must provide for you.
I may understand that I must protect you.
However, I don’t understand the experience of the next stage.
I am glad that we are not dating.
I am glad that we are giving each other a lot of time in prayer.
I am glad that we are blessed by the grace of God that we have another day to talk to each other.
I am glad that God is teaching us through this moment.
I am glad.
I am thankful.
Because He is always giving us the opportunity to talk, to share, to be open, and to pray for each other on the phone.
However, right now, I need to fix my eyes on the author and the perfection of our faith.

Father, I ask for signs.
Help us to grow in our relationship with You.
Let us understand Your calling, Your good, please, and perfect will.
May we be still and know that You are God through this storm.
Be the center of all of our relationship.
May we continue to strive and persevere to know You better in this situation and moment in whatever way we can.
All this goes to the glory and the power of Jesus Name.
