If the devil can keep us away from Jesus so that the cross becomes nothing more than a "plus sign", a bridege in an illustration or an equation that adds up, then we will lose our love and appreciation for what ctually happened at Calvary.

have mercy,God

today as i was praying...
the Spirit spoke to me, Jesus died for us because of love, but

why are we afraid of telling our friends that someone has died for them?




i don't know if this make sense to u,,but my heart got hit really hard by this.

God, have mercy.

happy 19th.

Today is my 19th birthday. Nineteen years ago, God decided to have me on this earth to live a life full of His love and grace. Praise God, His promise never fails, 19 years later, here i am as a young lady living the fullness of my purpose driven life. He has so much grace over me throughout the entire 19 years, even when i was a infant.
Mom told me this when i went back to china 2 months ago.
Couple days before i was born, she was at the hospital getting ready to give birth to me. There were some nuns from a local church came to the hospital visiting a sick lady, who was next to my mom. The nuns were pretty nice, they started sharing how they believed in God and all the testimonies. Mommy was lying on her bed doing nothing, so she overheard all the conversations, and of course, the life changing testimonies.!! Just by overheard a simple testimony, inside of mommy's heart she was literally thinking, "Wow, go to church and believe in God is such a wonderful thing. I'm gonna bring my daughter to church one day and believe in God."
Isn't God real??? when mommy shared this with me...tears were bursting our of my eyes!! How great is my God?? Seriously, it is not a coincidence that you and i are here, WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES!!!

let me end my birthday blog with Psalm 139. Obviously,David got this very clear revelation of who he was in God, and who God is in him.

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b] Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. 19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. 20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.[c] 21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.

today was just a awesome beautiful day. ( awesome and beautiful are both adjectives, they are both describing the noun"day".) ((thank you professor banks for your wonderful english class...))

wether.com lied.......it said it'll be really hot today, but when i came out with my cute dress, i did not feel any hotness = =.... so everyone in school kinda asked me the same question over and over again, "aren't u cold??" .....ai~~~~~~

when i was at the writing lab, i saw this girl who works there had broke her leg....so i went up to her asked if i can pray for her , because i believe God loves to heal. she said yes and got all excited. i prayed, "Dear heavenly Father, would you open up the heaven and release the spirit of healing upon Tracy right now. You are the God who loves to heal...and i now speak the spirit of healing and restoration to her knee, in the name of Jesus, let her knee get completely healed!!....." after 30 seconds short prayer, i asked her how she's feeling...she's like, "nothing, but a little tingling on my foot." so i shared a little more about how God heals, how people would have different reactions/feelings while they are receving prayer....blah blah....so Tracy goes, "Oh..wow...that's why i had this tingling feeling on my foot. i havn't been feeling anything on my leg ever since i broke my knee!" "WOW !! PRAISE GOD!!!"
ok..here's the regret part....i was going to pray for her again after she had the tingly feeling...but somehow...i just left..... aaaaah!!!! God, forgive me !!!!!! i will pray for her again next time when i see her, promise!!!! i believe you will heal her!!!!!!!

[revelation of the day] You always tell God that you gonna bring people to Him, and you always ask God to give you friends that are open to the gospel. But, why don't we go to the lady on the wheelchair and pray for her, why are we ignoring the people passing by us with crutches? C'mon, can't u see..it's God bringing opportunies for us to share His glory !! Why would someone in your math class just broke his arm during the weekend? If you think talking about Jesus isn't effective to unbelievers? How about some signs and wonders?? If the guy with broken arm encountered God's healing power through your prayer, will this guy give his life to Jesus?? Everyone, let's open up our eyes and see what God has for us everyday~ ~


bless u all~ ^^

btw, nice talking to u,JH (male^^)......be the man who fears God and God alone.

today was sunny and busy..

God, when are u going to send down your healing power to heal grandpa's paralleled body? i want to believe ... and i am believing in YOU!!

Dear Father,
Joy loves challengings. She will not complain when trials come, but be patient. Because she understands that hardships help her to grow. Whatever it takes, God, bring it on!! BREAK HER!!!!!!!

"I praise the LORD because He advises me.
Even at night, I feel His leadin.
I keep the LORD before me always.
Because He is close by my side,
I will not be hurt.
So I rejoice and am glad.
Even my body has hope,
because You will not leave me in the grave.
You will not let your holy one rot.
You will teach me how to live a holy life.
Being with you will fill me with joy;
at your right hand I find pleasure forever."
Psaml 16:7-11

the smell of Jesus

Most hurting kids are missing at least one of three crucial ingredients in their life's cecipe: nurture, acceptance, and genuine love. Kids who are missing one or more of these important staples are swimming in a sea of pain.

That's why a youth worker's role is huge! When we offer these specific ingredients---if w nurture them, accept them, and geuinely love them---we're bringing Jesus close enought for them to smell.

wonderful God.

my dear honey bunny roomie encouraged me with Romans 8:38 last night.... "nothing above us, nothing below us, nor anything else in the whole world will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

I love Jesus, love the way He is, the way He comforts me...so sweet~~ah!!

today at prayer room, i just simply ask Him to reveal Himself to me and give me more His love...
He is Faithful.

John 1:10-18
v.14 "The Word (Christ) became a human and lived among us. We saw his glory---the glory that belongs to the only Son of the Father---and He was full of grace and truth.


You are my God full of Grace and Truth..please fill me with grace and truth everyday..because i chose to follow you!


ps. [[ONLY]] for Jasmine Ngo, you are a faithful blog commenter..God bless you!!
