words of encouragement

Charles Spurgeon once confessed, "I know my words cannot honor Him according to His merits: I wish they could. Indeed, I grow less and less satisfied with my thoughts and language concerning Him. He is too glorious for my feeble language to describe Him. If I could speak with the tongues of men and of angels, I could not speak worthily of Him. If I could borrow all the harmonies of heaven, and enlist every harp and song of the glorified, yet were not the music sweet enough for His praises."

exercise my forbearance

Last night i was ranting to a brother that i don't know that well about a particular situation. =/

At the end of my ranting he was like "it's a good opportunity for you to exercise your forbearance..."

This morning i saw that brother on Lord's table and I asked him what does forberance mean. He told me that forbearance mean being okay with what other people do. Strong AMEN.

Yeah, it's okay.

lost by Cal ID card

I am back in Berkeley now. I went to gym to work out two days ago and i lost my Cal ID card. I called the gym and nobody had turned it in. Soo today i paid $25 to get a new card. Now i have $25 less to spend. =(

Yeah, today i went to Wells Fargo bank and the teller mistakenly gave me a extra $20 bill. In the beginning i was like YAH! As i walked out the bank, my conscience bothered me so i went back in to return $20 to the her. She was kinda surprised and she said thank you. As a result, my conscience is clear, myself is denied and the Lord is expressed. =)

A Young Man in God's Plan - Chapter 2

Proverbs 20:24 says "A man's steps are directed by the LORD. How then can anyone understand his own way?"

I have to tell you I don't understand my life. Because there is another party, God, is directing my steps. I am willing to have God direct my steps. Although it's a mysterious process, the will of God is done.

We are human and He is God. He is considering how is He going to accomplish His will with us? What is the best way? What is the best time?

God has a will. God has a way to carry out His will. God has a timetable. How will this work out? What needs happen to me first? What experience do we need to have?

God has a will for which everything is created. We exist, and we exist as a particular kind of human being in space and time, according to God's will.

Second Timothy 1:9 refers to God who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose in grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the time of the ages. God saved us and called us according to His own purpose. =)

A Young Man in God's Plan - Chapter 1

KEEPING OURSELVES EMPTY, OPEN, FRESH, NEW, LIVING, AND YOUNG WITH THE LORD

"You have to be new, empty, and open, telling the Lord that you are here for nothing on this earth but for Himself. We need to tell the Lord that we are not here for religion, nor are we focused on teachings, doctrines, or gifts. But we are here one hundred percent for Christ Himself as the living One."

This is hard but the Lord is still working in us. =)

Church in Tucson

I went to the meeting hall of the Church in Tucson. =) It's huge. It has 2-3 acres for about 30 saints. I like it's spacious parking lot a lot. You can park like 100 cars in it.
