  • Man, I haven't posted in forever. It seems like everytime I post, I start out with that, haha. It's true though. There's so many gaps in between my posts, lol. Oh well. I do what I can, hehe. Life's been alright. Really getting back into the Lord. I know that probably sounds kind of weird, but whatever, hehe. I'm enjoying life. God's been so good to me, it's awesome.


    Some bad news though, haha. Yesterday, I just got let go from my job. Even though I lost it, I still have my peace and I'm enjoying the "free" life away from work. Only for like a weekend though, lol. After the weekend, it's back to job hunting, hehe. I got great experience while working at the job so I have no regrets. The company was letting a lot of people go and I was one of them, hehe. Oh well. The owner even said it was a really hard decision, but she decided that it was me. She felt as if it was time for me to move on and keep going with my life. She mentioned that I had helped the company out a lot and that she wished she never had to let people go. So how much of everything was truth, I don't know. I do know that it is really hard to let people go and I do know that I really helped the company out a lot. So that's really nice of her to say.


    It was really kind of neat though. On Monday, another girl got let go too. On Tuesday morning, she called back and wanted to talk to me. She said that one of the photographers knew that she was going to get let go and had called her on Monday night to tell her that they were letting a lot of people go and that I would be next. So she told me that I was going to be next in the letting go of people. At first, I was like...alright, this is either a warning from the Lord preparing me for it or telling me to find another job, or this is an attack from the enemy trying to scare me. I had my friends pray and that was great. Thanks to Ivo pretty much, lol. I hadn't told anyone else cause he was the only one to talk to at the time, lol. I was going to call my best friend, but I'm like...nah, it's my burden, hehe. I'll carry it. I can handle it, hehe.


    So here I am, first day off the job. To be honest, I was getting a little fed up with the company. Great people and all. It's just no one ever takes responsibility and it ends up getting dumped on me cause I knew pretty much everything that was going on there, lol. But oh well. Also, it was AWESOME to be able to sleep in till 11 AM, hahaha. Can't beat that, hehe. Well, just one weekend of that and that's it. hehe. *sigh* hehe I'll enjoy it while it lasts, hehe. Just trusting God for a new job to pay my bills. I just got a new cell phone too and I have to able to pay for that as well. So for anyone who reads this, if the Lord reminds you of me, thanks for your prayers. =) They mean a lot. ^_^


    On a lighter note....I don't know, haha. Just kind of rambling now. I'm kind of confused on which way I'm supposed to go. I remember way back when I had a prophecy spoken over me to go to China. Well, my friend's dad owns a business in China and there might be a job opening there. So I"m really debating whether or not to go to China. I think that would be so awesome. Work out there and preach the gospel baby!! hehe. Evangelize China, hahaha. Rock on Lord. =)


    Last night it was really interesting. I was talking to a friend of mine and she was watching a movie or a soap opera series or something about the Japanese taking over China. She was getting really upset by it cause she's from China. It's her "homeland" and she was getting really worked up by it. So I try and cheer her up by joking around with her. Didn't work. It made things worse. It just AMAZES me how something like that in the past still affects people. It's like...China isn't under Japanese rule or anything or it's not like she was born under Japanese law or something silly like that. But it was just really interesting to see her reactions. It reminded me of a message my Pastor preached about identity. She was sooo caught up in the whole, Japanese vs Chinese thing, she totally didn't even think that it was STILL brother against brother and sister against sister no matter what the skin color. And the Pastor's message is WHO CARES about what your skin color is. We use that to identify people. The real identity we all need is the one IN CHRIST. My friend knows she's Chinese, but I'm not too sure if she realizes who she is. She can be Chinese all she wants, good for her. Chinese Pride...YAY!! I prefer Christ Pride. That's what really matters. Black, blue, red, yellow, green, white, brown....who cares? You know Christ, you're just the same as me regardless of skin color. I just found that really interesting and how the Lord really reminded me of WHO I am. I'm a NEW creation in Christ, old things are PASSED AWAY and BEHOLD!! all things are become NEW!! PRAISE GOD!!! I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Greater is HE that is IN ME than he that is in the world. I'm the HEAD and NOT the tail. ABOVE and not beneath. KING and PRIEST!!! haha. Rock on my brothers and sisters who know who they are. It's so important in this day and age.


    WOOOOH, exciting stuff, hehe. As you can all tell, losing my job has got me sooo depressed...HAHAHAHA. PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD PRAISE GOD!!! hehe. Got sooo much joy and peace right now. It's awesome. Praise Him once again. Just like the song by Fusebox "Once again" Anyway, hahaha. Gotta love it, hehe. To whom much is given, much is required. I stick with that verse soo much. God has taught me soo much and everytime I fall away....He pulls me back soo fast. Because there really IS much required from me. It seems like when all my friends are just down and out, depressed, opressed, whatever...I am the one that has to be there for all of them. So it's just been amazing to see that. I've even had friends say to me that no one has ever encouraged them the way I have. I'm like wow...what a testimony of bearing fruit. I'm like...I'm just being myself and being that good friend and/or brother to the person and dang...the fruit is sooo sweet. Other friends have told me that they have considered Christianity since meeting me. I'm like...woah!!! Praise God!! That is also a really cool testimony because there are Christians out there that have no holiness whatsoever and live how they want...and claim to be Christian. It's just like....you may know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour, but you have no relationship with Him. What's the point? To go to heaven? Maybe, that's kind of selfish. I'd rather go to hell and have the best relationship with Him here on earth than go to heaven with no relationship at all. Cause having that relationship with Him here on earth is what it's all about. When we get to Heaven, we'll be able to see and touch Him and that relationship is going to be better than it could be here on earth. But here on earth is where it matters cause there is the rest of the world that needs to get to know Him the way we do. =) The way the family of Christ knows Him. Praise God for that opportunity.


    A lot of people say I post a lot, haha. That's cause I don't post everyday, lol. Otherwise, they would probably be shorter....maybe. I was originally going to use this as an online journal. Well....I still am I guess. Just not posting everyday, hehe. Anyway, enjoy my posts, hehe. I hope they encourage someone somewhere. =) Praise God everyone. Love you all. Take care.

  • Man, I really gotta post more often. I think people get sick of seeing the same thing over and over on my site, hahaha. Sorry to everyone who does get sick. Ooh, new font, haha. Just trying out and putting some variety on my site. I kind of like the all caps thing, hehe.


    Well, my life is pretty interesting right now, haha. I just had my 22nd birthday. Man, I'm old, haha. Nah, I'm 22 YEARS YOUNG!! OH YEAH!! hehe. Benny Hinn would always say that. So many years young. Not old. I really like that. Cause that's how it ought to be. We should be 22 years young, 18 years young. We renew our strength like the eagle, have faith like a child. Oh yeah...years young, that's what it's all about. Not old, but young. Hard to do anything when you're old, but when you are young, you got it all, hehe. Except experience..hmm....hahaha. My birthday was fun. I ended up spending the night at my Christian brother's apartment. It's kind of mine too. Since I was adopted into their family, haha. Fun story, gotta know who they are to know what that means, hehe. Had fun the whole weekend. It was so nice and relaxing.


    So I've met some new people. Most of them are female. Which is totally cool. Except my flesh likes to kick in and that's a nightmare.  It's a difficult battle sometimes, hehe. Other times, the opposition makes it really easy for me, lol. It's not lust if that's what most of you are thinking. That's what most people would think about. But whatever. It's not lust. It's just I want a girlfriend, hehe. I don't believe it's the time though. So that's the battle I've been fighting. Winning, but still fighting, hehe. Praise God that He's with me though. Otherwise it'd be so hard to fight alone. I don't have the strength nor the endurance to fight it. It's only by His strength that I'm able to overcome.


    The people I met are awesome. I was finally able to meet Crystal. Talked to her online and read her xanga and posted a few times. She's such an awesome person. From what she tells me, she's a Christian now. When I first met her, she wasn't sure about God. So it's really awesome to hear that. She's really a sweet girl. I don't know exactly why God had us meet. God has told me what to do with her and I've been doing it. So I'm really thankful that God hasn't let me stray from it, hehe. To be totally honest though, she's made it kind of hard for me to do what God wants, but I understand God a lot more now, hehe.


    The other person I met is Nancy. She's such a sweet girl too. She's been a real interesting person that God has placed in my life. I don't know exactly where she plays in just yet, but I'm sure she does somewhere, hehe. We'll see soon. Praise God Praise God Praise God for these two sisters that I've met.


    Another awesome testimony is that I just found out my friend's boyfriend just accepted Christ into his life. WOW!! Praise God!! Another soul that's going to heaven and another party thrown in heaven. Praise God Praise God!!


    Man, I can't write anymore for now. I may update later. If I have time. We just got busy here at work, haha. Gotta get going now. I will talk to you all later. For those of you that aren't at 100%, there's some encouragement for ya. God is working throughout the world. I know we all know that anyway, but sometimes it's just perfect to get some confirmation of that. Love you all. Take care and God Bless you all abundantly.
