Month: November 2003

  • Well, today wasn't a bad day at all. Did the normal for a Tuesday. Went to class and then came home. Class was actually really fun today.


    First in accounting, I went to the morning class instead of my normal afternoon/night class. We went over our review quiz. That was cool cause I got most of the answers right this time. I'm actually understanding the material. hehe. Praise God!! Have a test this Thursday. I know God is going to help me do well on it.


    Next, in business class there was a speaker. However, before the speaker came on, we got our tests back. I got a 100%!! PRAISE GOD!!! I couldn't have done it without Him helping me reminding me of the answers and what I had studied. It's awesome. It's been my first 100% on a major test in a looong time. It feels good to get awesome grades again. Praise God!! Glory goes all to Him.


    After that, I stopped by my church to drop off my volunteering application. If it be God's will, I'll be helping out in the children's ministry. It should be a lot of fun. I love kids, they are awesome. hehe. So hopefully I get that volunteer job.  Can't wait to hear from them.


    I then went to pick up Alan from school to take him to the orthodontist. He's getting brace soon. hehe. That would mean me, Steve, and Alan have all worn glasses, me and steve have contacts, and all 3 of us have had braces, Alan getting his soon. I saw the price for people to get braces now. It's like double the price from when I got mine. It's insane. They just put metal stuff on your teeth.  And it costs a ton. Oh well, people pay for it, so I guess they have the right to charge that much.


    Then I just came home and chilled here the rest of the night. Listened to some music, chatted online, played some games. Should have spent time with God though. I don't know why I'm so easily distracted. Gotta learn to just go and spend time with Him. I really want to, but my flesh is just overtaking my spirit. Gotta turn that around. God will help me do it though, Praise God!!


    That was pretty much my day. Did anyone else besides Cici catch the Meteor Shower I guess it was that happened tonight? I didn't get a chance to see it cause it slipped my mind. If you did, great, let us know about it, hehe. If not, we'll just all have to wait until Cici talks about it.


    I was asked recently why I have the words "I Corinthians 13" at the end of every post. I also have the words "I love you all" at the end of every post. I Corinthians 13 as some of you know is the love chapter in the Bible. If anyone doesn't understand my love, they can always go and look it up in the Bible. I Corinthians 13 is what it's all about.


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

  • Well, today was like any other day. Go to school, do homework, you know, the usual.  I hope this log entry thing is on the correct date this time. Been messing around with it for a while now. Hopefully it's correct this time. haha.


    Didn't do much today. Just finished up my resume for the new job I'm applying for. I realize my resume isn't so great. It feels like I've done TONS of stuff though. Maybe I just couldn't think of anything to write on my resume, hehe. I sent it out too so hopefully I hear back from them soon. If God wants me to have this job, it's already guaranteed, hehe. Praise God!!


    Today I also got into a heated discussion again. And once again, I ended up sad. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I know that my love isn't 100% complete and God dealt with me on that after the discussion on my way to and back from school. Everything was fine at the beginning of the discussion. Just somewhere along the lines, I lost my cool and focused more on the ministry aspect then the love aspect and to whom I was talking to, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I knew everything. I just got caught up in the moment or something and I just wasn't even myself. I really did fall to temptation. God dealt with that aspect. God told me that what I was saying was right and true, but that I focused too much on ministry and not on the love aspect. I wish I focused on the love aspect because that's where it really counts. I was sad pretty much all through class and I couldn't focus in class and when we took the quiz, it took me about an hour to do a 30 minute quiz. Thank God that the teacher is really nice and caring that his students do well in the class otherwise I would have failed the quiz. Praise God!! I need to make my love complete.


    Through it though, I learned that I can't just give God certain times like some preachers do. I have to give Him every single second and every single minute I can "spare". I have to spend more time with Him otherwise I'd just be another Christian that doesn't stand out from among the world. I'm not saying I have to because of that reason, but rather it's because I love my Father so much. I just have to get out of the flesh and into the spirit. Learn more about His nature and who He really is. Learn more about His Word and gain more revelation knowledge.


    Also that I have to lead and live a holy life. Being in the world, but not of it. To be holy as He is holy. Live from glory to glory. Loving with an unconditional love and never losing sight of Jesus. Tonight, I really forgot the 2nd commandment. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. I did love him, but it was incorrectly portrayed. And for that my brother, I do apologize. Please forgive me.


    Praise God I got my homework done for Tuesday early. I don't have to do it tonight. hehe. Anyway, I'm going to get going for tonight. I've learned a lot this day. Thank you Father for dealing with me accordingly and appropriately. You really are a just God. I pray you continue to mold me into who you want me to be. Live through me Jesus and may everyone see your love through me. In Jesus' name I pray. AMEN and AMEN!!


    I love you all. Have a great night. I Corinthians 13

  • This is for Sunday:
    Well, I guess I didn't hit the time quota for Saturday. It said Saturday last night, but I guess it didn't register. Poopy. Oh well. This is for SUNDAY!! It's 10:17 pm. I should be able to finish it by midnight. haha. At least I better.


    I just went to church as usual at Word of Life Christian Center. The message was awesome. Talked about Eagles and stuff like that. Telling us how to be excellent and how to be like the Eagle. It was AWESOME!! hehe. I love it.


    After that, I went and picked up Tian, Lynn and Vicky to go and eat Dim Sum. We went to eat at King's Land. Teddy, Ivo, and Terry joined us. It was really cool. It was a lot of fun. Athough the service was kind of poor, hehe. It's alright though. I don't really mind.


    Then we all hit up DJ's. That was fun. Me and Teddy sang. It wasn't HORRIBLE, but it wasn't that bad. hehe. I enjoyed it. Had a good time. Sang some secular songs. DON'T YOU DARE get all spiritual on me. It was fun singing. I still prefer good ole Christian music though. hehe. God is awesome and so are my brothers and sisters that sing about Him.


    Then we took Tian to work. That was interesting. hehe. We just hung out at her work for a while. Tian, I hope you didn't get in trouble. If you did, just blame me. It's my fault, we should have left DJ's a little earlier. I'm sorry if you did. You got your money back from us though.  We ALWAYS win.


    After that, took Vicky home and then went back to Tian's house to get Lynn's belongings. Then I had to drive to CASTLEROCK to take Lynn home. It's alright, I didn't mind, haha. It was a fun little trip. Not too bad.


    Then me and Teddy hooked up with Ivo and Terry at Dream Net. We went and wooped up some other people on Counter-Strike. Yeah, it was pretty fun. Afterwards, we all went out to Village Inn to eat. We were hungry after wooping up the competition, haha. It was good.  We actually got something new instead of our normal "Country Sausage Skillet". We all got something different, except Teddy of course. He got his "Chicken Strip Dinner" as usual.


    Then we went our seperate ways. =) It was a great day. Praise God!! Thank YOU Jesus for this great and wonderful day. And Tian, I was VERY happy to see you. Don't you DARE think that I wasn't happy to see you guys when I did. I was very happy to see you guys. You guys just were talking to each other and not me. Not to mention you ALL sat in the back seat when the passenger seat was open. How do you EXPECT me to react? It didn't bother me at all, I'm just saying, can you justify those words by your actions? Just something to think about. When you guys finally did talk to me, I started talking more and more. So yeah, but then you didn't really listen. At least you didn't respond so I don't know what you are thinking.


    Anyway, that's about it for now. I have to get started on homework now. Blah. Homework sucks. It's alright though, my Father will help me get it done. Praise God!! Hope you all have a great night. Love you all very much. I Corinthians 13.


    This is for Saturday:
    I'm updating on the actual date. Be proud of me.  I just hope I finish it before midnight.


    Anyway, today was awesome. I got to talk with my best friend for a few hours online. That was a lot of fun. Got to minister to him. hehe. That's how the Christian walk is supposed to be. Exhort each other daily. Gotta lift other people up all the time. It was a lot of fun.  Praise God. We both needed to talk to each other. Just for some online fellowship. hehe.


    Other than that, I finished my accounting homework. I still have to do my programming homework. haha. I'll do it tomorrow. God will help me get it done. He always done. Praise God!! Never have to worry about my school work. Yay!!


    I got a chance to play games with my brothers today. That was a lot of fun. Just a blast. Haven't laughed so hard with them in a long time. It was awesome.


    Other than those things. I didn't really do much more. Just listened to more teaching tapes. Those were also really awesome. Just learning more about my Jesus. My Father who art in heaven. He's awesome. I wish more people know about Him, believe and trust Him like He wants us to.


    Well, I keep praying for my friends. I love you all. =) I Corinthians 13

  • I have to write a journal entry for Friday. Today is Saturday, I know.  This entry is for Friday though. I was just too tired last night to do anything after I got home from hanging out.


    The day wasn't too bad. It wasn't one the better days, I'll definitely say that. For starters, I slipped a little bit in my faith and sinned. That's alright though. I've already come back to God and repented and asked for forgiveness. Which He already has done.  Amen!! God also reminded me of how to live. I was like....DUH!! I knew it. Oh well. Live and learn. However, IT WAS NOT A TEST!! God did NOT TEST my faith or anything. Satan is the one that tempts and tests.


    It's funny. God really knows when to teach you about a certain subject. I had just learned from Pastor Mike Miller about tests. It was really hard for me to listen to at first, but Mike proved it with the word. Not to mention bringing in other scriptures that support his point. It was AMAZING. Such deliverance. He was saying how God DOES NOT test His people. Right after that, I go to youth group cause I was invited, and what did they talk about? Tests. hahaha. We always think that God allows trials and tests. That's not true. Our dwelling place (Psalms 91) decides if we go into tests. God doesn't HAVE to test our faith. When we are going through one, it is of the Devil. Satan is also known as "THE TEMPTER". If Satan is the tempter, God can't be. God has already promised to deliver us out of every trial and temptation. It was AMAZING to listen to. Now, there is so much more to the teaching, but I only have time to type a little bit.


    After youth, we all went to eat at Village Inn. That was a lot of fun. As usual.  Then a few of us went to Dream Net to play games. Ivo got his 200 kills in one map. That's cause Teddy and I changed teams so Ivo could get some free kills every round. hehe. But he got his 200 kills and his 2 or 3 free hours. Whatever it is, hehe.


    Got some bad news about my best friend though. That was a bummer.  BUT, it's ok. Praise God he made the right decision in the circumstance. He turned to God and God hasn't allowed him to be sad, but rather very joyful and very peaceful. PRAISE THE LORD!! And also, God taught me some more with my best friend's situation. It's alright though. God is in control and God is GOOD, ALL THE TIME!! Nobody agree with that statement, unless you have revelation knowledge about that phrase.


    Hope you all had a great night. Talk to you all later.
    (I Corinthians 13)

  • OH MY GOSH!!! Today was sooo awesome.  All I have to say is God is good, ALL THE TIME!!! Prayer really works wonders when you are praying in faith. Anyway, that's just the introduction, hehe.


    I did the normal today. Just went to class and what not. Had a lot of fun in my classes today. The teacher had some funny jokes and people were being silly as usual. We learned a lot and I'm really understanding all the information. It's all coming together. Praise God!!! Without Him guiding me and helping me learn, I don't know if I'd be able to do anything. Business was good, teacher talked about our careers paper we have to turn in soon. Gotta pick a future career and write about it. For those of you that don't know me well enough, the career I'm going into is definitely ministry. Man, just lately, I've really began to see where God is taking me once again and what my calling is. I know that what I do know, is nothing compared to what He has in store for me. I Corinthians 2:9 "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." PRAISE GOD!! For accounting, just went over the last chapter in our next test covering 3 chapters. Which is next Thursday, lol.


    Another awesome thing tonight was I got to talk to a really great friend I've known since middle school. Besides my best friend Bobby, I have another really good friend named Justin. He has moved away and lives in Michigan now. It was awesome talking to him again. Here's his story. I've known this before tonight cause I've talked with him other times. Since I've known him, he was always against religion. He's heard the gospel, thinks it's bogus, dumb, whatever. Waste of time, etc. etc. He didn't want God and didn't want anything to do with God. Now I talk to him and he's accepted Jesus a few months before I did and now I hear him saying things like AMEN, and PRAISE GOD and I don't know where I'd be without God. I'm like...WOW!! GLORY TO GOD!! He's just like me though, entire family isn't saved, just us. It was such a blessing of God for me to talk to him again.


    Next to that, another friend of mine has started thinking more about God. I'm just like....wow, what God had me pray specifically has made a difference. Not to mention the prayers of others. I'm not taking full credit. I just know that what God had me pray with her has helped.  Otherwise He wouldn't have had me pray it.  You know who you are. Keep seeking God even though you may not know exactly how. I'm always here for you sweetheart and I love you, but more importantly, Jesus loves you and has promised, written in Hebrews 13:5, "for He hath said, I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." That's the truth.


    On top of THAT. God has given me a new revelation concerning what a lot of Christian's believe. And I know my Christian brothers and sisters right now would probably smack me for this revelation knowledge because they've been taught otherwise and about 99% of Christian's nowadays still believe it. I'm not even going to say what it is cause people are going to bash me for it. It's alright though, cause I'M the one living free and victorious. If you wanna know, you can talk to me personally. You gotta be ready for correction and you gotta be open about it. It was hard for me to listen to it at first too. What the pastor was saying, I'm like, no, he's got it wrong. But God told me otherwise. Not to mention Romans 8:16 "The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God." God has shown me that what the preacher was saying, was in fact, VERY TRUE and that so many of us have missed it completely. Gosh, I was hollering, cheering, clapping, laughing, rejoicing. I hope I didn't wake my dad and brothers.  Not that it matters cause this revelation was so amazing. PRAISE GOD!!


    Hey all, I just want to let you know that I have events posted on this Xanga site too. Just go and check it out. People tell me of ideas they have to hang out more and now, I have a means to let everyone know by this site. I'll be writing something everyday so you guys can always come and read stuff, hehe.Check out the events too. We'll all get to hang out more often. If you have any ideas, let me know, I'll post them. I'm always like the middle man or contact person anyway.  Here's a way for me to let everyone know. Hope you all had a great night.


    I love you all. I Corinthians 13

  • Well, looks like I've started over with this Xanga stuff. Maybe it'll stay put this time. haha. Anyway, today was a good day. Just played games like all day and went to class. Pretty much wasted my time. God really talked to me about that. haha.


    God has just been awesome lately. Teaching me new things, renewing my fire and passion for Him, and much much more. While other people are sad about things, I'm very joyful and happy most of the time. When I think about the lost, I start getting sad. If they only knew of God's goodness.


    I also miss my best friend Bobby. He's having a great time in Oklahoma. Can't wait to see him again this Thanksgiving. =) Maybe we'll be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner together. We both have a lot to be thankful for. =)


    I'll do my best to write something everyday. Just turn this into a journal. hehe. That way it's easy to keep one. =P
