Month: November 2003

  • So today I woke up with a killer headache, a cough, and my body was just sore and fatigued. I really don't know what the heck happened. I was just fine. I think it was cause my parents kept putting the thought of sickness into our minds. When you begin to think you are sick, you become sick. Don't ask me why that is, I've just learned from experience.


    The cool thing is God is slowly healing me. Which I think it's really cool. It was so unbearable when I woke up. Now, I can at least do things. hehe. Praise God!! Gives new light to the scripture that says my grace is enough. He's given us the power over devils and all that horrible, nasty stuff. So I've been praying and commanding. Seeking the Lord on it. The Lord has been really cool about this whole thing. Just reminding me of all the healing scriptures and His promises that are in the Bible. It's awesome. Everytime I speak a scripture over myself, the sickness would decrease. The headache would go away for a while and then come back. Same with the cough. Which bugs me. Stupid sickness. I'm fed up with sickness.


    Didn't really do much today except rest up. I've slept like the whole day. Took some time to pray, took time to eat, and took some time with my brothers to play games. Just to get my mind off of the sickness. I'm catching a healing. Not a cold. hehe. Praise God. I've slept like all day. And my body is burning up, yet I'm still cold. Really strange how sickness works, haha. Stupid sickness.


    Other than that, nothing much has happened. I'm doing way better now. Just a minor cough and the headache is pretty much gone. Body is still kinda sore and cold. That's alright cause God is awesome. hehe. Thank you Jesus for the healing you are going to bring me. I know it. He's promised it. Praise God!!


    I didn't get to hang out with Bobby tonight. His family went out Christmas shopping or something. That's really cool. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get to hang out. That will be awesome. Go to Chili's and watch a movie. Probably go and see Elf. I heard it was really funny and really good. It would be cool to see.


    Verse of the day: Philippians 2:14-15 "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe."

    Hope you all had a beautiful blessed day. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • So I woke up at noon today. Cause I went to bed at 2 am again. Sorry "mom" aka Kim.  I was up playing games again. haha.


    So far I've eaten lunch. My mom is also preparing our Thanksgiving dinner. Should be an awesome one. Can't wait. hehe. Hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving dinner. Thanksgiving dinner was really good. My family ended up going to my grandpa's house. I had a good meal, Praise God. It was more than I could ask for.


    It's really interesting. I'm changing so much all the time. It's so cool to see God work in me. I take pleasure in simple things now whereas before, it was really different. Just a simple little dinner and I'm like the happiest person on the earth. A little hug and I feel like everyone in the world loves me. A little simle and I'm the most joyful person in the world. Gosh, God is just so awesome. I don't know why I continue to hurt Him. And I have, I know it. He's not disappointed in me, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. Just like me, I'm not disappointed in anyone, but that doesn't mean I don't get hurt at times.


    Bobby came home on Tuesday. Hopefully me and him can spend Friday together. That would be awesome if we can. That would really make my Thanksgiving complete. Maybe dinner and a movie again. That way we can just talk and hang out. It'll be awesome. Praise God!! I love and miss him so much. Truly a best friend. hehe. Looks like Bobby and I are going to get to hang out. Hopefully. His family has to do some shopping tomorrow and I don't know when they are going to get that done. So hopefully they get it done in the afternoon so Bobby and I can hang out. That would be awesome. We were both thinking the same thing. It's really tradition for us now. We were both thinking about going to Chili's and then catching a movie together. hehe. We do it all the time. It's glorious. I love the time we spend together. Just talking, TRUE fellowshipping. Bobby is definitely one person that I'm very (to the infinite power) thankful for. Without him and our Father, I'd probably be burning in hell right now. Which before Jesus entered my life, I deserved. Glory to God!!


    I also spent some time with God today. I was planning on spending all day with Him, but my flesh took over yet again. I hate that. Stupid flesh, hehe. It's alright, I did get some time in with Him. Not to mention on the drive home from my grandpa's house, I got talking to Him again about some things. I'm going through my foundation notes again. All of it is just awesome. I had forgotten some of it and it really shined some light on some situations. It was really cool how God used it, hehe. Praise Jehovah!!


    Verse of the day: Romans 15:4 "For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope." (NIV) Verseoftheday.com


    Hope you all have an awesome Turkey Day!! Take care and may God Bless your Thanksgiving Day. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • So I woke up today at 9:30 am when I went to start on my careers essay. I finally finished that paper. It's not due till Tuesday though so I still have some time to revise it. It wasn't too hard and like I said, it was pretty fun to write as well. hehe.


    Today, I have to run to the blue house again with my mom. I'm getting tired of it. I don't really want to go. There's no point in me going. I just stand there the whole time. I'm not needed there and I really don't want to be there. I had to go back like 3 times today alone. It stunk. hehe.


    That's it for now. I'm being yelled at to go to the blue house. I'm not arguing back or anything. Just cause I don't move at the speed of light, my mom thinks I don't care. Blah. Chinese people, ugh. hahaha.


    Anyway, I just finished my careers paper and played games the rest of the day. Just relaxed. haha. Tomorrow I should really get back to chasing after the Lord. It's the official day to thank Him for everything. Even though I thank Him every day and every night for everything, it's an official day for it. It's going to a be a great day. Then again, every day is a fun day for me. Praise God!!


    Verse of the day: Psalm 34:18 "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (NIV) Verseoftheday.com

  • Today wasn't too bad. I ended up going to bed about 4 am. hahaha. I was up playing Final Fantasy X-2 all night. So addicting. haha. It's fun, I'm really enjoying the game.


    I woke up this morning at 9 am. Just in time to leave for class, haha. I went to the early Accounting class so I could get back home to play more FFX-2. haha. I was falling asleep in the class. So between that class and business, I took a 1 hour nap and was reenergized. hehe. It was nice.


    After class I stopped by the blue house. They were tearing down the walls and they have to take out carpet and they have to take out the cabinets. Lots of work to be done. That's about all that has happened today thus far.


    I'm home now and me and Steve are going to play some games. hehehe. It's fun.


    Verse of the day: II Corinthians 9:11: "You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God." (NIV) Verseoftheday.com


    Hope you all have a beautiful blessed day. I love you all very much. Take care and God Bless. I Corinthians 13

  • Well, today started like any normal day. Woke up, got all cleaned up to get my day started. I finally was able to finish my other 5 chapters of reading in Jeremiah. So I finished that this morning. Read Jeremiah 26-30. Only 22 more chapters to go in that book. That's only 2 days of reading. hahaha. Very cool.


    Since I went to bed last night about 2 am, sorry Kim, I woke up today about 11-ish. hehe. I had to keep Diana company last night cause she had a lot of work to do. She's almost done though. Good for you Diana. I was also playing more FFX-2. haha. That game is really fun. I'm enjoying it a lot. Just doing some training right now in the game, level up my characters so they are nice and strong, haha.


    I had a hamburger for lunch, made it myself. hehe. It was good. Still kinda hungry though. haha. Maybe I'll pick up some Taco Bell or something. That sounds really good actually. That or Chipotle. Make the people in my class mad again. I brought in Chipotle one evening and they were all, "That's not fair!!", "You making us all hungry now!!". It was pretty funny. I enjoyed my burrito though. haha.


    Now I'm continuing to write my careers paper. It's almost done. Not due for another 2 weeks. I just want to get it done early and make it a good paper. It's actually kind of fun writing this paper because I already know what I wanna be when I grow up. Correction, IF I grow up.  hehe. Nah, I'm responsible and mature when I have to be. Key word is "HAVE" to be. hehe. It's a fun paper. I'm enjoying what I'm writing. It stinks though cause there are things that I have ommitted that I would really like to say, but it doesn't directly answer the questions I have to answer. They relate to the topic, but not directly. So that kind of stinks that I have to keep things out.


    I have to run over to my old house with my mom soon. We have to replace some lighting and put new batteries in the smoke detectors for the couple that's moving in soon. We don't have to do it, but we figure we could at least bless them with that. That would just be nice of us to do. So we are going to do it. The smoke detectors are crazy, they keep beeping cause they need new batteries, haha. It sucks, so annoying.


    So we went to our old house and it needed more fixing then we had originally planned. What had happened was there were a few pipes that had broke due to the cold. We made tons of phone calls and we have people working on it now. The couple is going to have to wait a little longer before they can move in. It sucks, but what can we do? We are working as fast as possible. It'll be a 2 - 3 weeks before they get to move in.


    Verse of the Day. I Samuel 12:24 "Be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you." (NIV)

    I really don't like the NIV too much. Nothing against it, just not my preference. KJV is so much better. hahaha. Ivo and Teddy would agree with me.  A verse is a verse. I'd rather have someone read the NIV then not read the Bible at all.


    Hope you all had a great day. Take care, God Bless. I love you all very much.
    I Corinthians 13

  • Well, this is the entry for Sunday. I hope it registers as Sunday and not Monday since there is already a Sunday there.


    Anyway, I went to church as normal. I went to Galilee today though. Just to visit. I got a lot of "what are you doing here?" instead of HEY, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YA!! I did get a few of those though. hehe. People think that just cause you don't go to there church often you have to have a reason for all of a sudden showing up one Sunday. Well, for all of you at Galilee. My reason was to come see you all and visit you guys. Good enough reason? And no, I'm not just saying that. It's the truth.


    It was really awesome at church though. Pastor John preached a pretty good message. It was enjoyable. The really awesome part was during praise and worship and even during the message, I was talking to God and He was showing me some awesome awesome things. I was really enjoying it and loving the revelation He was freely giving me. Ah, it was awesome. I was having a blast. I think about how the church interprets scripture and how off the church really is with some of the scriptures. I'm just amazed by some of the things that the church believes that really aren't true at all. They may seem true and scripture COULD back it up if interpretted to fit their beliefs. In any case, doesn't change how I see them and it doesn't change my love for them. I've also rekindled a fire that the Lord gave me a long time ago. It was a heart for my own people. Chinese/Asian people. I love them. hehe.


    Afterwards, I went home to get my tennis shoes cause you can't really play volleyball in dress shoes. Got those and headed off to Chinese school to play some volleyball. That was a lot of fun. Haven't played volleyball in a while. I had fun. Steven got hurt though. Twisted his ankle or something like that. He's alright though.


    Now we are all back home and now I have to howework. I have to write a paper for my business class. It's a Careers paper. I get to write about what I want to become in the future, haha. I'm really pumped to write it actually. Get to write about how I want to be a minister. It's going to be fun. hehe.


    I would put up the verse of the day, but I put it up already yesterday since I thought it was for that day, hehe.

  • Well, today wasn't too bad. I played a lot of games. I'm really liking FFX-2 and NHL2004. Two really fun games. Frustrating at times. Then again, all games are. Man, I just missed putting this up for Saturday. haha. It's Sunday, but this entry is for Saturday. Got home really late. hehe.


    That's pretty much all I did today was play games. Just sat in front of the TV and played games. I did start my careers paper for my Business class. Got the title page done.  It's not a hard paper. Just gotta write things about myself. I know who I am. Shouldn't be too hard. hehe.


    Tonight, me and Steve went to the Arvada Center to help out Somewhere In The World. It was an auction event. Really cool. Saw Pam Sweetser there and Pam actually had made something for the auction. It was nice too. Someone bought what she had made too.  I was the one that rang the person out. Go me!!  Lacey wasn't there to help out though so I didn't get to see her. Kim Mangham was there and that was really a treat to be able to see her and Pam again.


    Cici, Kai, Kim, Kathy, and Spencer all couldn't make it. Some just couldn't make it because of the weather and others couldn't make it cause of ride issues. That's a real bummer. It was a lot of fun. For Cici, Kai, and Kim, we did get your name tags for the auction though.  They didn't have any for Kathy and Spencer because they were sure if they were able to make it.


    It was neat. We learned how to close down an actual auction and what to do for next year. So next year we can go and they will already know who we are and we can really help get things done faster. It was a lot of fun. The food was really good too. We kept going back for more. Me and Steve also got pocket fulls of Jolly Ranchers. hahaha. It was funny.


    Steve drove so I was able to drink if I wanted to. I didn't though. It cost money. I'm not going to pay for liquor.  If they had wine or something for free, I totally would have had like a small glass or something. No harm in that.  Way better than beer anyways. Can't stand beer. hehe.


    That was pretty much my day. Hope everyone else's was great.

  • Not much to post just yet.  Haven't done much yet today except finished up my Programming homework for Monday. I also played some Starcraft.


    I'm going to go and read 10 more chapters of Jeremiah. This will bring me from Jeremiah 21 - 30. Spend some time with God in His Word. It's going to be fun and awesome. Well, I got really tired cause I really didn't get enough sleep for whatever reason. I was up at about 9 to do my homework. Played some Starcraft and started homework about 9:30. Finished my homework and started reading. Got really tired. So I only read 5 chapters of Jeremiah and prayed a bit.


    Took a nap for about 2 hours and now I'm here again. I'll finish reading my other 5 chapters tonight. hehe.


    I got Cici's e-mail about the Secret Santa. I'm personally down for it. I think it'll be a lot of fun. Whether or not we should leave a hint and guess who it really is, that's up to everyone I guess. I think it'd be more fun to keep it a secret. And if people can't live without knowing, then we can reveal it, hehe. Whatever though, up to you all. Just let me know dates, times, and locations so I can post it up on my Xanga site. hahaha.


    Tonight after Steve got off work, we went to Best Buy to buy some tapes for our digital camera. It was for my dad. He's going to record the tournament this weekend for my little brother Alan. After that we went to Game Crazy. I bought into their MVP thing. They have video game tournaments every weekend. I think that's really cool. Anyway, I bought NHL 2004 and Final Fantasy X-2. Both great games so far.  I'm enjoying them both. Praise God!! Having a good time with them. hehe. So far FFX-2 has a good story. We'll see what happens in the end, hehe.


    Tomorrow is volunteer day. It's going to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to do it. It'll be fun.

  • Well, so far, xanga has been pretty fun. Checking out everyone's sites and seeing what they have posted. I'm really enjoying posting a journal entry every night. It really helps me reflect on my day and what I need to change within myself to better serve my Father. Through this journal process, He has shown me my faults and weaknesses. Now I know where to rely on Him for now to strengthen those faults and weaknesses to make me a better person and child of God. I'm going to change this weblog entry process a little bit from now on. I always till the end of the day to post something. I'm going to start posting whenever there is something to post. So like in the afternoon or something. I've noticed, cause I'm so keen, that people are online throughout the day and not necessarily on at night when I post. So if by some strange reason they wanted to read about me, they have to wait till the next day. This way, they can read about my day whenever. At least up to that point. hehe. So I'll be posting a few times a day. I'll just update the time stamp.  Simple.


    So far, nothing exciting has really happened. I went to bed at about 2:30 am. I had to finish my take home portion of my test for today. I totally forgot about it until midnight when I pulled out my papers from school. I was like...oh no!!! haha. It's alright though. I went through it pretty fast considering I was messing around on my computer all night at the same time I was working on the test. My computer was really screwy last night. Kept giving me tons of error messages forcing me to reboot the computer. I have never rebooted my computers so many times in one night. I may have to once or twice, but not like 15 times. It was insane. Just ask the people I was chatting with. I'd be there one minute, and then gone the next. Stupid computer. Gotta defrag is sometime soon again. hehe. Just let it sit there all night working while I sleep.


    This morning I had read 10 more chapters of where I am in the Bible. I just finished Jeremiah 11-20. I used to read 10 chapters a day and I want to do that again every day until I finish the rest of the Bible. Then I can go through and start studying the Bible book by book. And since one part of the Bible will relate to another part, I'll be studying all of it at once in a sense. It'll be so fun. It will be God that teaches me everything, not my own understanding. God's Word is so precious. I love it.


    Anyway, I've just been to business class and that was pretty cool. We were in the chapter of Managing today. It was really neat to learn more about managing and leadership. God really taught me something new about leadership. It was really awesome. Praise God!! He's called me to be a leader and I intend to fulfill that destiny He has given me. I just ask that He continue to develop the leader side of me. Cause I never was one before. Praise God!!


    After that, I went to Accounting and took my test. I felt so confident going into it and very confident that I did well after I had left. I just went through  question by question and just answered them all quickly. I just knew how to do each of the problems and it was just awesome to go through it and just bust it out.  Praise God for that. hehe. Couldn't have done it without Him helping me remember all the information.


    I just recently joined Asian Avenue. It's really kinda neat now that I'm playing around with it more and more. Ever since I went to a church or two, I've really developed a heart for my own people. Chinese people if you don't know me.  I've been playing around in the forums of Asian Avenue (AA) and I've started to preach in the religion's forum. hehe. It's been a lot of fun. I was reading some of the postings that other people put up and man, I gotta say there are a lot of Christians who just don't get it either. I'm not saying I'm better or anything like that. I just see it as a blessing with what God has personally shown me. It's just amazing. I thank God for teaching me so much. I really am thankful for what He's given me and when I see other Christians that don't have the answer, it really is a blessing to be able to say I do and to turn around and teach it to my fellow brother or sister. Praise God!!


    I also took that little quiz thing that Cici sent out. Kinda accurate I have to say, hehe. Some things were way off. haha. Some things were pretty accurate though I'll have to admit.


    For those of you that are volunteering. I sent you guys the latest update. hehe. Hopefully we'll all be able to go and have a great time and represent Chinese Heritage Camp.


    Tonight I went to see our old house/apartment. It was really something else going through my bedroom and stuff like that. Look through the windows and still see the same things I used to see when I was younger. It was neat. There is a couple that is going to be renting the place out soon. They are a young couple. The guy is my age and his wife is 19. They are young and already getting an apartment together. I give the guy props though. He works hard so they are able to do this. It's good, he takes care of her. At least that's what I see. hehe.


    I also listened to a Christian comedian tonight. His name is Bob Smiley. He's a really funny guy. Great comedian. I had forgotten how funny his show was. I have it on CD. hehe. It was great to be able to laugh with God again. I had always done it, but this time was just different for whatever reason. Probably just cause I'm enjoying God's presence all the time again.

  • I got to talk to Bobby last night. That was awesome. I loved it. Even though it was a time where he really ministered to me and pointed some things out. Things that I need to change about myself and work on. Man was it hard to listen to. It was one of those, he's my best friend, he should be supporting me. Because he is my best friend, he didn't support me when I was wrong. He pointed out to me what I had done wrong and what I need to change. He taught me some things and I taught him some things too. It was really cool. I miss those fellowship nights with him. Where we would both be up with God till like 4 am. God just teaching both of us some awesome things about Him, His Word, His character, His will, etc. etc. Those were some awesome awesome times. I miss it. Thanks Bobby for being that best friend God has called you to be for me.  And thank you Father for placing Bobby in my life. Can't wait to be reunited with him at ORU in the fall. Praise God!!


    Today wasn't too bad. I didn't get anything done. Yeah, another wasted day. Not good at all. God really dealt with me about that today. Telling me that I had wasted another day. Also saying to me that I can't keep doing this. That I can't be wasting these days where I can really seek Him. He mentioned to me that He created the world in 7 days, resting on the 7th day. If He can create the world in 7 days, how much do you think He could teach me in a single day. Just something to ponder, I already know the answer to that question, hehe. I really should have spent the day with God. Man, being such a hippocrit right now. That's alright. There is nothing more and nothing that I can do to make God love me anymore or any less than He does right now. Amen!! hehe. That's alright though. I'll overtake this flesh soon enough and start living all in the spirit. Praise God!!


    I did play games today though. That's what I spent my day on. hehe. Played Starcraft and some CounterStrike. It was fun. Starcraft was easy, but it was fun wooping up. And bots cheat in CounterStrike. hehe. Went to class tonight. Had a pretty good time. Learned more in programming. hehe. Did pretty well on my quiz. Got a test to study for. The test is tomorrow in accounting. hehe. I pray that I do well. I know God will help me on it. As usual. If it weren't for Him, I'd have failed school a long time ago. hehe.


    I'm planning on going through my foundations notes. That should be fun. =) It was a great class when I took it a while back. I think it'll be really beneficial for me to go through the notes to refresh myself a bit. It's where the quote up top came from. =) Bill Webster was the man that taught it all to me. hehe. I miss his family. They live up in Ft. Collins still from what I know. =) Man, I want to go back to Ft. Collins to visit some friends. Just to see how they are all doing. All my brothers and sisters. =)


    Still haven't heard anything from the job or my church. Praying for it though. =) If it be God's will that I do either, may it happen. hehe.
