Month: December 2003

  • Man, I was up at 3 am this morning. Crazy crazy lifestyle right now. I stayed at my friend Robin's house again. I just want to go home. I didn't want to drive home in the snow though. The roads were so bad. Slipping and sliding everywhere and you can't even tell where the lane is. It was nuts.


    We finally got that business plan done. It was insane how long it took. I can't believe it took us that long. So crazy. We finally got it done and it looks really nice. If we don't get a good grade, I'd be so mad. We spent so much time on it. It's funny though. We had 3 people in our group and there was one partner that really didn't do anything. She helped out a little bit but overall, me and Robin did all the work. It was hard getting things done with our other partner too. We would be interrupted every few minutes. It was a really funny time and we laughed a lot during the whole project, but we really didn't need all the interruptions. Anyway, what we did was we printed out a second copy of our business plan. It has a lot of mistakes though, it isn't our final copy. We took our other partner's name off of it and put it on the incomplete business plan. Just to see what she will say and do. We are just doing it to be funny. Our final project has her name on in and everything. We are way too nice to not let her get credit for our work. I would feel really bad if we did take her name off and turn it in. We would be justified if we did, but I would be way too convicted and that's just plain mean.


    I'm updating right now caues it's 8 am now and I woke up at 3 am to do my other homework that I didn't have time to do over the weekend cause of our business plan project. It's crazy. I'm so tired. Didn't get enough sleep at all this weekend, hehe. Gotta catch up once finals are all done with.


    Bobby comes home this weekend. Me and him are planning on spending saturday night together. Hang out, go to dinner, catch a movie. Tradition, hehe. It'll be really fun, I just know it. Real and good fellowship. Praise God, hehe.


    Hope you all had a great day and a great night's sleep. I didn't get enough sleep, lol. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • Well, today was a really cool day. I took my friend Mizuki around town. Her car had broken down about a week ago and she doesn't have the funds right now to fix it. Not to mention she's going back to Japan in about a month. She really doesn't need a car. She's going back to Japan to teach and she doesn't plan on coming back. So I don't know.


    I took her downtown first of all to take care of her passport things. Then we went and shopped a little bit at the Family Christian Store. That was really cool. I picked up an application while there. You never know, I think it'd be fun to work there. I'll turn it in one of these days, hehe. After that, I took her to Front Range to take care of her transcript things I think. She needed that for some other thing. Not exactly sure what she needed it for. I was just a driver. It was fun helping her out and taking her around. I really got to minister to her cause she's a Christian sister. Really cool and fun girl. She's 22 years old. If she wasn't going back to Japan, I think I may have been interested in her, haha. She's not like a super model, but it's not about looks at all. I was really attracted to her personality and her ability to just have a good time wherever. She told me herself that she's normally not like this around new people she meets, hehe. That was really interesting, hehe. After Front Range, I took her home.


    I picked up a bracelet and a new wallet from the Christian Store. It was cool, hehe. I really like both of them. After taking her home, I went to Taco Bell for dinner. It was good, hehe. I'm back at my friend Robin's house again. Man, I really want to go home tonight, but the roads are horrible. I don't want to drive home in this cruddy weather. I really want to go home though. We'll see. If the weather clears up a bit, I'll most likely drive home. It looks like it's getting worse though so I may just end up staying here again. I feel so bad for staying so many nights. I know my parents don't really like that, but better safe then sorry.


    So I still have to go to class tonight. I kind of don't want to at all. I brought my sandals to my friend's house and now I will have to clean my car off while in my sandals. That's going to suck. So we'll see what happens. Hopefully I can go home and not have to stay at my friend's house again. We'll see what happens.


    I watched the Italian Job and Cradle to the Grave last night. That was pretty cool. Both movies weren't as good as I had thought they'd be though. That was really disappointing. Oh well, good thing I didn't buy them, hehe. I do want to get Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Caribbean and Sinbad. Those were all really good movies, hehe. I was like WOAH, and then I was like WOAH, and then I was like woah. (Finding Nemo) hehe. Good movie.


    Hope you all had a great day despite the snow. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • For Sunday:


    Well, I'm at my friend Robin's house still. I've been here all day again. Man, this business plan we are working on is so killer. We had a third partner and she has since gone out with her boyfriend to hang out. She's leaving for Japan next Friday and she wanted to spend some time with her boyfriend before she left for Japan. She did help out a little bit and for what she did, I'm very thankful for. So that was really cool. I thank her for that much.


    We worked on this plan all of last Saturday, all of yesterday and all of today. We are almost done and we really have to get it done tonight. I'm just taking a small break because I finished a huge part of the plan for now. I'm just updating my site, hehe. It's neat, hehe.


    I met this other friend today. Her name is Mitzuki. She's also Japanese in case you can't tell by the name. She's 22 and she's been hanging out with us today. That's really cool. She's Christian and a really sweet girl. First thing she asked us was if she could help us out in any way. Me and Robin were really surprised, but we declined her help cause it's not her project, hehe. It's ours.


    I mentioned in my last post, my friend Robin really knows a lot about God and it's really fun talking theology with her. It's really neat cause I've been really struggling with the fact that God created evil and how that plays in with everything. How could a loving God create evil? That didn't make sense to me. The Father even said, I have placed before you life and death, therefore choose life. God did create evil because He's giving us the choice to choose good or evil. Therefore choose life. It also says in Isaiah that God created evil. God created EVERYTHING. It's just how He meant for it. He didn't mean for us to choose evil and to destroy ourselves. He's thought of everything and so He has given it to us as a choice.


    The thing I'm struggling with right now is, why would God create evil? I mean, if God never created evil, would we not have the choice for evil in which case we never would have done evil? I'm not doubting God's creation or anything like that, but we have to wonder sometimes. I'm just curious. I believe God will show us things if we just ask and seek for the answer. So we'll see if God wants to reveal this mystery to me or not. It's not going to negatively affect my walk if God doesn't tell me, hehe. I'd just like to know, lol.


    We had to take a break with our project. So we rented a movie. The Italian Job. So far it's interesting, hehe. We also rented Cradle to the Grave with Jet Li. We'll see. Hopefully I don't fall asleep to the movies, lol.


    Hope you all had great days. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • For Saturday:


    Well, I didn't do much on Saturday. I woke up about 11 or so, hehe. I played games for a while and I had to go to my friend's house to work on a stupid project. It was fun though. We had tons of laughs and joking all the time. We still got a lot of work done which is really cool. We would laugh and joke and have fun, but we would also get our work done. It's really fun and really cool.


    I ended up staying the night at my friend's house. I felt too tired to drive home. My friend Robin is a really cool woman. She's really interesting. She knows so much about religion and theology and all that. It's really fun and interesting talking to her. She really is such a unique person. I love her a lot. I wish she did believe in Jesus and God though. She knows more about God than most Christians and she rightly interprets the Bible better than most Christians. It's amazing. Instead of sleeping last night, we were pretty much up all night talking about theology and she was telling me a lot of stories about her life. She's been out and around if you know what I mean. Very knowledgeable person. She's really cool. I'm really blessed to have met her.


    I've been here at her house for 2 days just working on this stupid group project. It was a lot harder than we had originally planned or thought. It's taking forever. We thought it'd take a few hours or so. Heck no, it's taking stinking forever. I can't believe this, hehe. It's alright though. It's been fun and it's been a journey, hehe.


    I'm feeling way better. My friend Robin treats her friend's so well. She's just like, my house is your house. You hungry, go find something from the pantry, you thirsty, there's drinks in the fridge, just help yourself. She really feels that you should just make yourself at home and enjoy yourself. So that's been really cool. I've been really comfortable here at her house. It's awesome. Alright, back to the project. I'll update some more later. hehe.

  • Well, I didn't do much today again. I just sat in my room and played games all day. haha. I did make dinner for my brothers and myself. It was spaghetti, hehe. Still good though. I rock at it, hahaha.


    I'm feeling WAY better. I have like this annoying little cough though. It's crazy, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't do anything but annoy me. It's stupid. Blah.


    I had another really strange dream last night, I can't really remember the contents anymore, but it had to do with war or something like that. Really strange. Hard to explain, hehe. Dreams are still really cool. For all of you that have dreams, be sure to write them down and ask God about them. He'll give you interpretations to your dreams. They are really cool and when you interpret more and more, you'll realize just how important dreams are. Dreams are awesome, hehe.


    Well, that's about it for today. No other thoughts at the moment. School is almost out. Excited about that, hehe. I don't think I'm going to take any classes next semester. I'm just going to wait till the fall semester again and get into Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma. Gosh, SO exciting, hehe. I can't wait to go there. Man, everytime I talk about it or think about it, I get so excited. It's school, people aren't supposed to be excited about school, haha. I am, that's for sure, hehe.


    Alright, hope you all had awesome days. We all have our ups and downs in life. I really don't. I just have ups and.....straightlines, haha. I'll explain that to anyone who wants to know, hehe. So yeah, keep your heads up, definitely. There's always someone by your side. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13

  • Today so far is just like any other day, haha. Woke up at 9 so I had to hurry and rush to get ready for class at 10. Yeah, 1 hour and no, it doesn't take me forever to get ready. I just have to drive like 45 minutes to Westminster for class, haha. It's all good though. Go Echo and great gas mileage, haha. ECHO!!!


    After today, I will have one more week of school. Actually, only 4 days!!! hahaha. College is awesome. Get to get out earlier than everyone else. Then again, the work is harder, hehe. In any case, 4 more days of school this semester. hehe. My grades are good, I'm very proud of myself for doing so well. Of course, most of the credit to where it's due, and it is definitely due to my Father who art in heaven, hallow it be thy name. He's just been awesome. Helping me with all my homework and tests. Speaking of tests, I just got my accounting test back. I got a 94%!!! I'm like...YES, PRAISE GOD!!! hahaha. I felt so confident going in and coming out of that test, I knew I did well. And I did!! GLORY TO GOD!! hehe. If I didn't have Him helping me out. I'd probably fail again. So good thing He is helping me out.


    God is just so good. I love Him so much. I'm going to start jumping back into the Word every day. I have to. I always get so excited when God shows me something new from His Word. He's like, look at this. This is why this works in your life, this is why this doesn't work. This is what my Word says. That's not written. You are reading it wrong. You gotta interpret it this way. I'm like....ALRIGHT!!! Keep it coming Father. hehe. So He says, alright. then He goes on, flip over here in the Word. Remember this verse? This verse ties in with that verse. You didn't do the right thing in this situation, repent and we do it again. No matter what happens, you do this, you be this way, I want you to do this, I want you to be this way. Always be there for this person, always love that person, don't let this person get to you, don't let that person slip away, keep praying for this person, keep loving on that person. And on and on and on and on He goes. I'm not perfect, which is why He is, haha. However, I'm also a person that has no more weaknesses, hehe. Now wait a minute, you just said you weren't perfect. No, I'm not, but where I'm lacking, God is strong. So in a sense, I have no weaknesses, haha, cause God covers them all up. He's awesome.


    I'm still in Jeremiah. I should just stop there and go reread the New Testament. It makes the Old Testament a lot more interesting. That's just what I think anyway, hehe. Two more days of reading Jeremiah thoug. I have 22 more chapters left in it, hehe. Yes, 2 days of reading. I read 10 chapters a day. Well, when I read that day anyway, haha.


    I had another strange dream last night. I can't remember it at all, but I do know that I had a dream. Sometimes God doesn't let us remember dreams because He wants to keep them secret. There are things that God doesn't want us to know. You may ask then why does God give them to us? Maybe He's saving it for the future. He just wants you to have a glimpse of it now. You ever wonder why we have deja vu? It's like we've been there before in that exact moment. I haven't had a deja vu in a year or so. That's not good at all. Deja vu's are really cool and really interesting. It's another one of God's ways to show us we are on the right track in our lives. I just thought that was the coolest thing. How else could we have "been" at that place? In our dreams is where. Somewhere in our minds it's already happened. Or at least our minds know it's going to happen. The mind is a powerful tool. Props to all of you for being so smart. Even though you are all so smart, there's still so much that we all don't know. It's crazy. The mind is so powerful that it's a shame we humans don't use all of it and that it's not capable to do what it was created to do anymore. If you don't understand that, you can talk to me personally, haha.


    Well, God hasn't really taught me anything totally new and revelationary today yet. I have asked Him about my dreams and He has kind of answered me. It's been kind of hard to hear His voice today. That's cause I'm still groggy and tired, hehe. Hard to focus when your body is tired, hehe. However, He just did teach me and remind of the whole mind thing in the above paragraph, haha. That was really cool. He reminded me of some really really cool things, hehe.


    Anyways, I'm feeling a lot better. Thank you to all who are praying for me and thank you to all who have asked about my health and that wish me a speedy recovery. It really has been a speedy recovery. It's cause I have all of your love to help me fight this stupid sickness, hehe. It is, it's stupid.  On top of all that, I have God and His mighty hand working and of course His wonderful love too. Hope you all have or had a great day. Take care and God Bless. I love you all very much. I Corinthians 13


    I still don't know when this secret santa thing is going to happen, haha. I'll have to talk to everyone about it soon, hehe.

  • For Wednesday:


    I woke up at 1 pm today. That was awesome, haha. I just played some games before my class at 7 pm. My mom really wanted to give me medicine today because I still have a little cough. She is really worried that it's going to get worse and she kept saying how there have been so many deaths already. I'm like, so? I refused to take any medicine. I still refuse to take any. I do still have a small cough, but oh well. It'll get taken care of soon. The cough is trying it's hardest to stay in my body, but it's losing the battle, haha. Go God and the authority God has given the believer, hehe. It's awesome, hehe.


    My mom was pretty ticked though. She was like, that's how you are going to treat me and what I'm trying to do for you? I'm like.....ugh. She was all, did God say to not take medicine? I'm like yeah. I'm trusting in God to heal me, not medicine. She's like, how can you believe to that point where you don't have to take medicine? I'm like, cause God will heal me.  She still believes that religion is just something to follow for a better life. She doesn't understand that God and the Bible isn't just a religion. Actually, they aren't religion, man has made them a religion. But they ARE life. Which is really cool. hahaha. Praise God!!


    Man, I really need to have more to write about. Thinking through right now, my life is pretty boring, haha. Gotta get back into the Word, get back into hours upon hours spending time fellowshipping with God. Those were the good ole days. Those were the fun days, haha. Then again, I didn't have much choice back in those days either. All mine and Bobby's friends had ditched us because of what we believed. These were all believers too. We didn't even push what we believe onto them either. We just told them what had happened at our Bible study and boy were they unhappy with that. People were HEALED of back pains, shoulder pains, bone problems throughout their whole body, etc. etc. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome was healed. Tons of miracles right there in our apartment. They weren't even happy that people were healed, we were shunned, haha. So naturally, we both just turned to God and just spent time with Him cause no one else wanted to. I gotta get back to that point again. It was awesome.


    I've been having some strange dreams too. I don't think God wants me to post the dreams here on Xanga. I'm still getting the interpretations to each of them. hehe. Dreams are really cool and interesting, hehe. I had forgotten how many really cool dreams Bobby and I have had. And God would give the interpretation to the other.  So I would interpret Bobby's dreams and he would interpret mine. It's really cool. Now, we both just interpret our own, haha. Even though we still tell each other about it, hehe. Bobby should be back here in Denver in 2 weeks. haha. Can't wait.


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

  • For Tuesday:


    I didn't do much on Tuesday, just went to class like normal, turned in my paper and all that. Man, there's only a week and a half left in this semester. hehe. That's really exciting, hehe. Go college, haha.


    Other than school, I just played games again at home, haha. I also had another good and long conversation online again. This time I handled it differently. I wasn't as worked up as I was last time, haha. This time was really good for me. My friend and I still are butting heads on the subjects, haha, but that's alright. To each his own.  I ended up going to bed about 3 am cause we were chatting, haha. It's all good though.

  • For Monday:


    Today was a much better day than my weekend, haha. I'm not really sick anymore. I do have a dry throat and a small cough, but it's nothing. I'm healed in Jesus' name. hahaha. Praise God!! I say God healed me and I mean it. I'm not saying it just to give credit to God. Of course I do have to give credit to where credit is due, but let me explain, haha.


    Here's what I was going through. It started with a small cough. Then I woke up with a KILLER headache. It was so bad, everytime I blinked, it hurt more. When I would turn my head, even more pain. Just constant pain. It felt like someone was constantly squeezing my head or my head was stuck in a vice and it was being tightened or something like that. Then, going down the body, hahahaha. I had a stuffy nose. Really hard to breathe. It was so stuffy, I could hardly blow my nose, hard to believe, maybe, but it's true. Next to that, I had a sore, dry, and itchy throat. It hurt every time I would swallow. Tried drinking hot/warm water to help, it didn't. On top of the throat problem, the cough had become worse. And every time I would cough or even hold back a cough, my right arm would have a sharp pain shoot through it and my right shoulder would be sore for about a minute or so unless I coughed again in which case it hurt more. On top of all that, my body was fatigued and I was just spent and worn out. I tried to sleep, thinking it would help. And it kinda did, only cause your body can fight it when you are asleep, but the problem is I kept waking up like every 30 minutes.


    I didn't take any medicine, sleep was definitely not enough. Nor was it peaceful. I had some really strange and unusual dreams throughout the whole weekend. Had the same one the whole weekend. haha. Interesting interpretation to the dream though. haha. You wanna know more, you'll have to ask me personally about it. Too long to put on here. haha. So with all of that, not to mention there are people still sick with whatever they have and mine only lasted a few days, I say God was the one that healed me. It didn't even need all that evidence to back it up cause it's the truth, but I just had to point it all out. haha. PRAISE GOD!!! GLORY TO THE ALMIGHTY!!! He really is the GREAT Physician. Don't need manmade medicines. I actually don't believe in manmade medicine anymore. Not that it's bad, I just don't believe in taking it anymore.


    Anyway, I hope that inspired the believers to trust God more and I hope it inspired non-believers to think about God more. Not asking anyone to convert, just to think. haha. I'm not sure who likes hearing about God and who doesn't. It doesn't matter to me anyway. I just do what I have to do. If I lose friends over it, it will hurt, but oh well. Not the first time. I can't stop preaching for unity or friendship. God's given me a command, gotta see it through. I can't and won’t compromise truth for unity or friendships. As sad, harsh, mean, w/e as that may sound, I just can't do it.  Don't let that scare anyone or be a threat or anything like that. I don't plan on losing anymore friends. I've lost enough to last me a lifetime. However, a couple of my friends have re-entered my life which is really cool. A real blessing, hehe. I thank God for that cause now they aren't just my friends, they have become brothers and sisters in Christ. Glory Halleluiah!!

  • Well, I missed Saturday's posting. I'm a failure, haha. Just kidding. I'm not a failure. I'm more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. hahaha. Go God!! Love Him so much.


    Didn't really do much Saturday. Just hung out with my brothers and played games with them just about all day. Did some praying cause I was still kind of under the weather. I'm feeling way better now Praise God. He said He would heal me and He has. It's awesome. Praise God!! We had company over Saturday night. That was pretty cool. Had some really good food, Praise God!! Mom's cooking is still awesome. I didn't get to hang out with Bobby at all Friday or Saturday. That was a real bummer. However, he'll be back in about 2 weeks for winter break. Then we'll be able to hang out more. hehe. Go to Ft. Collins and visit our old churches. hehe.


    I didn't do much today at all. I went to my friend's house to work on our mock business plan that's due in 2 weeks or so for our business class. I was at her house at 1:30 pm and it's almost midnight now. Takes a long time to do. hehehe.


    God healed me today of this sickness I've been fighting. When it comes down to it, it wasn't much of a fight at all. James says resist the devil and he will flee from you. Every time I resisted and commanded, the sickness would calm down. Then it would flair up again and I'd have to resist, rebuke, and command again. Pain in the butt. Seriously. I was getting fed up with the stupid sickness. Praise God and Glory to God for the miracle. hehe. That's just one of many He's done on my physical body. Can't be thankful enough for what He's done.


    Anyway, that's all I did today. My engine wasn't very cooperative today. Hopefully it starts. I have faith. hehe. God will provide. hehe.


    Alright, I'm not going to put up the verse of the day for today. Don't have time. I don't wanna stay at her house any later anymore. It's getting late.


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