I somehow feel better now

Thank God, I somehow feel better now.  I feel that if I have just a bit of faith, I'll be okay.

Overwhelmed?

Yesterday I was so tired, I slept pretty much the whole day except to eat, go to the doctor to get more medicine (bipolar medicine) and go fix my violin.

I have a busy few days ahead. Tonight there is children's fellowship, there's another children's fellowship tomorrow as well as the LifeGroup leaders meeting, then I'm preaching to the kids on Sunday.  I think I'm starting to feel overwhelmed.  How am I going to survive when school starts and I also have to teach Sunday School?

I don't feel prepared for everything going on this weekend.  I don't even know what I'm teaching on exactly. When I was praying with Nick today I started tearing up, I feel like I need God so much right now.

Dear God,

I need your strength and energy to go on.  Maybe I am overcommitting and overworking myself again.  The Urbana fundraisers were easier to handle when I didn't have as much children's fellowship stuff to take care of.  And there's also school.  I feel that I also need more personal time with you.  Please fill me up again, I feel like crying I'm not even sure why.

Never give up on something you really want. It’s difficult to wait, but worse to regret.

 What do i want?  well right now, personally, I want consistency in my walk with God, self-control when it comes to temptations, and Tommy :)

 Obedience is hard in this world of instant gratification.  I need to learn obedience out of thankfulness for what Jesus has done for me.

Waking up early makes me happy

Hey all,

Today I woke up at 7am even though my alarm was at 7:30am.  I enjoy waking up early with no alarm.  I get more stuff done and I feel more energetic than if I were to sleep in lazily.

Life is very busy, crazy busy I would say, but God is good.  Like yesterday we made a lot of money with the car wash.  And we plan to have another car wash maybe in three weeks.  September is event and fundraising month!

School is coming up soon, have to work hard this year cuz of Systematic Theology course.  Also I know I have to work hard with ministry because I am teaching Sunday school as well as Children's worship.  Gotta figure out a good routine!

I can't live without music.

It's great to know that people like Cecilia and Walter still read my blog :) Thanks guys.  And if you are still reading my blog but you are not Cecilia and Walter, thank you too, please give me a shout sometimes, why doesn't anyone comment?

Anyways, God bless you all and take care

"to be loved is to live forever in someone's heart" - quote at someone's front yard.

 

We are to love, but not to love stupidly. We are to give, but not to give foolishly. We are to be idealistic, but also realistic.
-from Beauty Care for the Eyes

 

 

More Inspirations from facebook statuses

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

 ------

 Remember this every time you have a hard time answering/taking up God's calling in your life due to fears, lies, or even feelings of inadequacies:

"Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were CALLED. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.

BUT God CHOSE the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God CHOSE the

weak things of the world to shame the strong. God CHOSE the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that NO ONE may boast before him.

It is BECAUSE of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”

- 1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Thanks for your prayer

Somebody must have prayed for me yesterday.  I didn't fall into temptation.  I also spent my extra energy helping a teenager who msged me on facebook.  Praise God for His love, timing, and provision!

Yesterday I had a really good conversation with Tommy over the phone too.  Surprisingly this time I understood everything he was saying.  Maybe the phone connection was good or maybe my French is getting better. Praise God!
