The Joy of the LORD Is My Strength

Today I encountered what The Word says, "The Joy of the LORD is my strength."

Before I went out, I was soaking in God's presence. Speak tongues, sing and worship Him sort of thing. I ask God to give me strength and love. Cuz I know I will be driving around and pick up people. It was a real good tender time with my buddy HS. I remembered my "Christmas wish" to Daddy, which is to go deeper with Him and understand Him more. I ask God, "How can I go deeper with you? How can I know you more? " God just simply answered, "Through My Word." Wow!! It was simple and clear! Man, I really need to read more of His Word!! I left home with the verse, "The Joy of the LORD is my strength."

Thanks to Jenni sista! You are awesome!!! Although she wasn't feeling well, but she's still willing to go pick up the new friends with me at West LA, near santa monica. And guess what? God listened to our prayer; she got healed right in my car! Ha..Hallelujah!! she's been so supportive with communicating with the new friends! God bless you,sista!! You are my dear Driver's Assistant (DA)! Ha …feed me food, hand me water, switching my glasses like crazy! ha,,so fun to drive with you!

Pick up new friends from West LA, dropped them off at Andy's, take nini home, pick up Blair at her house, waited Yoyo to get off work, then final destination—Andy's. I did not feel tired at all, yet full of JOY!!! Praise the Lord!!!! I knew exactly why, it was the JOY of the Lord give me strength!! How cool~~~~!!!

Awesome Christmas with cell peeps! You guys rock~~~

Pictures will be uploaded soon!

Life with Jesus is fun and awesome. Project Elisha is boosting both my and yoyo's faith in Him. How cool!

My God, Your grace is always enough!

Thank you for the healing miracle in our cell group, WE WANT MORE!!!

I need to go deeper with God. Go deeper in my understanding of His love. Maybe this is my Christmas wish for my big daddy J

Hope Jack likes his present from Impact!

I will miss 2008 for some reason~ I will! Moreover, I can't wait for 2009! My 20th year on earth! God, what will happen???

God, have mercy on me! Forgive me!!

"Great spiritual leaders have a personal relationship with the Creator that drives them to obedience, and reveals the mind of God. It is their obedience and spiritual insight that establishes them as mature, God-chosen leaders. It is their obedience that sets them apart from others, and it is because of their obedience that others choose to follow them.

If you want to be an anointed leader – strive for obedience in public and private, in word and deed, and, most of all, in thought. It is our thoughts that lead us to action. Obedient thoughts lead to obedient action."

By David Watson

From Honduras


 

God, i know i'm not qualified to be a spiritual leader. But you have so much grace and mercy over me!

Lord, i need to come to you with repentance, i did not live a life of obedience, and i know it's a sin when i disobey your words. God please have mercy on me. God, you see my flesh is weak, but my spirit is willing. Set me apart, Lord.

i need to be the mature, God-chosen leader, who lives in obedience!

i need to honor and obey Him in public and private!

Let my thoughts and action be pure and pleasing to You! My Jesus!

Holy Spirit, you are my helper! You need to be with me!!

God, i am yours!

I want to run after you, to the ends of the earth.

Bring me into your chamber.

Your love is better than wine.
