| wOW.... it has been a long long time since i posted anything... haha.. oops.. well, this is today's saying... "To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God; to free the mind with the truth of God; to purge the imagination by the beauty of God; to open up the heart to the love of God; to devote the will to the purpose of God" by W. A. Criswell | |

| Hi~ *^^* everyone... well, tomorrow I'm leaving to the Philippines. I'm very exited to see how God will use us for His glory, but!!! without prayers it is impossible to stay focus and be sensitive to His guidance... and so here is where "YOU" (my brothers and sisters in Christ) are so so important... we need your prayers~ Therefore, I'm asking you to pray for our team for ten days... until we come back which will be the 25th, I really appreciate your support. Thank You so so much~
A special "THANK YOU" for my sisters Mindy and Hannie~ Love you guys... so so much ~ I will be praying for you guys too~
Well, I guess is "GO GO" time...

| I was encouraged by this devotional entry written by the Daily Bread people it challenged me to become a person that obeys (putting it into practice) rather than just knowing and that as I walk closer and closer to my Father I will become more and more like Him.
| The Best Question |
|
| Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? - Psalm 15:1 |
|
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Perl was asked what he attributed his success to. "My mother," he answered. "Every day when I came home from school she asked me, 'So, Marty, did you ask any good questions today?'"
David asked the best question of all: "Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle-"(Psalm 15:1). There are two words ancient Jews had for expressing the question "who?" One is similar to our usage. But David used another word here that asks, "What kind of person dwells close to God?"
The answer came in a series of character traits: "He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart"(v.2).
It's one thing to know the truth; it's another to obey it. God delights to live on His holy hill with those who are holy-who reflect the reality of the truth they believe. He loves men and women who "ring true."
This psalm, however, is not about any holiness of our own that we think will qualify us to gain entrance to His presence. It is rather about the beauty of holiness that God forms in us as we dwell in fellowship with Him.
The closer we get to God, the more like Him we will become. - David Roper | | | |
| I would like to share a story a friend of mine sent me~ is pretty cool... check it out.... ^^ One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd." I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my ;friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. " They really should get lives. " He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books. He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends He said yes. We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday! ; " He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke.I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship. Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak Graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him. Boy, sometimes I was jealous.! Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one)and smiled. " Thanks," he said. As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends... I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." ; I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. ; I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way.
