EXCITED for life.

-
Haha, I have my rare bouts of optimism. :)

But this is what I'm excited for:
  • Luke18 Summit at UCLA! May 22-24. It's like, IHOP come to LA for 3 days, WAHOO.
  • STP (Summer Training Program) with my fellowship May 31-June 13. Two weeks of bibling, EV-ing, fellowshiping, good stuff.
  • Father's Day, so I can give my dad a Bible! I'm planning to engrave it so he will be more likely to use it. Hahah.
  • Summer Camp at BLCC. I get to teach little ones!! Ahhhhhh. Pretty exciting..I've actually been thinking, amid another phase of pre-med second thoughts, about teaching. Been realizing in the past few months what a big role teachers have in kids' development, especially on my trip to Baltimore and seeing how bad the public school system is there, resulting in a lot of delinquent kids. Our UHOP mother also prayed for me recently and sensed I was going to be teaching in the future (when I reminded her I'm pre-med, she said 'maybe in a teaching hospital' hahaha) but...this might be my first direction from God! PTL, I've been worrying and praying for SOME direction for yeeears. Although, last I remember, I was horrible at teaching lol. But it's always the most gratifying thing in the world, seeing kids start to understand something..so wherever He leads, I might end up to be a horrible teacher, or a doctor who leads residents to brand the knife into organs, but a happy one at that. Haha..totally kidding.
  • Yogurtland. Haha. And going as much as possible with Linda before she takes off to NorCal in the fall =(.
  • On a nerdy note, I'm applying to do some research next school year, and it's getting me super excited lol. I hope I can get one in psychobiology or something..I cried twice reading about schizophrenia for my psych final haha. Call me emotional, but it's a sad illness. People with schizophrenia who live in developing countries are more likely to get better than those in developed, because they're less likely to be classified as 'crazy' and abandoned by family and friends. Sigh.
This is what I'm NOT excited for:
  • OChem b at CSUF.
  • Ethan leaving. Who's gonna teach me how to sense angels and let me use their closet to pray and prophesy for me over dinner??
Sigh. That makes two of my best friends to be too many miles away to enjoy Yogurtland with. I really, really hate talking on the phone too, so this makes it worse. Haha. Oh gosh, what will I do without you two..


I leave you with a random photo of Yogurtland workers. Look at them, they're so happy. Cause they work at Yogurtland!

Joyful Invitation

-
As, when the Jews from all parts of the country went up thrice a year to worship at Jerusalem, they called on their friends in the road and excited them to go along with them, so shall many of the Gentiles court their relations, friends, and neighbours, to join with them in embracing the Christian religion (v. 3):  "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the  Lord;  though it be uphill and against the heart, yet it is the mountain of the Lord,  who will assist the assent of our souls towards him.’’  If only we would as easily invite all our friends, neighbors, family, and co-workers to know the Lord , as we would invite them to parties or to hang out..

The Good Eye

Coming from an unsaved home, the messages I first received from Christianity were that there was a Person who loved me. I was mind-blown that there was a Creator who knew and loved me extravagantly. I didn’t understand the religiosity of things or even how people could be sick of church. But over a decade, the Person I first fell in love with began to fade into the background of my memory, and the clamor of my own insecurities and comparisons with others began to take over – in regard to how well-versed I was with the Bible, how well I could pray, how much I was doing for God in missions and evangelism, whether I could prophesy accurately, whether people were healed when I prayed for them, and the list goes on.  The passage that struck me recently regarding this matter was Matthew 6:22-23: “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good , your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad , your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light ...

The Worth of Hiddenness

For much of my 20’s, I aspired to a certain idea and vision of greatness. I received prophecies about my greatness and how the Lord wanted to use me to “impact nations.” I heard these kinds of words over and over, and these words were great to hear – but naturally, after many years of not making much impact, I felt like I had failed God to some measure (I believe my experience is not uncommon). I felt I needed to figure out how to achieve “big impact” in order to truly fulfill my calling and destiny in life.   The Great Commission says in Matthew 28:19-20:  "Go therefore and  make disciples of all the nations , baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...”  When read plainly, the Great Commission does put forth this command of impacting nations. The problem is that we have interpreted the Great Commission in a way that makes it unachievable to 99% of Christians who do not have large platforms or access to thousands ...
