Passion 2008

Passion was AWESOME! A more subtle and mature version of BattleCry, but all still AWESOME. We arrived in LA around 5 - 6ish pm? It was a long ride but it felt pretty short; mainly because Ray was driving. Its like flying down there. Hahaha. We dinnered and set off on our Passion adventures. David Crowder was AWESOME. Chris Tomline was AWESOME. Matt Redman was AWESOME. Frances Chan was AWESOME. Louie Giglio was AWESOME. What an AWESOME weekend. Getting food was our only problem. There were so much people, it takes like half an hour to order a sandwich from subway. I totally felt my wallet choke of dryness. Poor dear. We're also an indecisive group; well, they are. Its too a point where you'd just want to scream. They cant get anything proper and done. Sigh. I hope we do this again. I enjoyed it quite well.
Lets recap shall we? Session One: Stuck in a slimy pit of mud. When we try to climb out, we always fall back in; just when you see the day of light, we slip right back into the darkness. However, if we call upon God (Give everything to him) he will personally reach in with his almighty hands and pull you right now. Let go of the things that bother you, he will fix it. Isnt that awesome. God will save me from my pit.
Session Two: The farmer and the seeds. God is the Farmer, we are the seeds. He throws us out into the field. some may get caught in thorns, others may end up in the shades, and others just are completely lost. Those who are thrown into the soil will trive and grow. Those are the ones that say yes to God; while the others have said no to God. What a shame. God is very straightforward and direct. He wants a yes/no answer from you.
Session Four: DO SOMETHING! "College studens are pretty radical, they'll do the craziest things" -Giglio. God has heard all the songs a million times, he has hear the sermans twice as much. What God really wants is for use to take action; to change; to make a difference. Help the homeless, feed the poor, provide for the needed, do a simple good deed. Or even better, move on to big long term missions across the world. Help Africa build wells, preach in China, save kids in Thailand. By doing these, you'll get the greater picture. To put yourself in their shoes and fully understand them.

"You experience life when you give it up" -Frances Chan.

Enlightened

For the longest time, I've been feeling pretty depressed and upset by the fact of my problem. Sometimes I would wake up in the morning, lie there in bed and just think. Or even when Im sitting on the train; I would just think. And in doing so, I become very emotional. Everytime I think of that touchy subject, I just cant help but get a little sad. How I'll never be able to have what a part of me wanted. How I'll probably never be able to marry and have a family. How it would hurt me to taint another's perfect life with my disablities. How I have questioned God and yet still no answer. Why did He do this to me? Is there a great picture that im missing? Is this one of my purpose in life? So many unanswered questions. But I've a bit of hope now. After attending the Passion Conference 2008 in LA, I've come to realize that my pain is nothing compared to those in greater need. I've learned that my 'problem' is all part of God's plan; he's not done just yet, there is much more to be done. I really gave myself away; or at least I hope I gave it to God. I've come to understand that in order for me to put closure on this is to really accept God (For, I'll have to admitt, I really havent), I need the holy spirit to come into my heart and change me. I pray that God would really change my life; that he'll grab hold of the reins of my life and take charge. Whereever he takes me, Ill follow.

Passion!!

PASSION 2008 CONCERT: Here I come!

Christmas in China

I haven't done this in a while. Its been pretty hectic up until winter break. I was leaving for China & Hong Kong a week earlier than what I had hoped. Thus I must panic and stress through my finals. It was not a pretty site. Kathleen was digging through my hair and found tons of grey hair. But all ended well. I must really give praises and thanks to my Savior. He's really my knight in shining armor. I can always count on him to get me through. I guess the moral of this little fiasco is to always depend on God, no matter the situation, because He will see you through to the end. <3
On a side note: My atmospheric persecutive color&design painting went well. I got an A. Kekeke! Gloat* And it was good enough to be displayed for the AAU Winter Art Show. Kekekeke! Gloat some more* On the contrary, some guys gave me a hilarious critique. And I quote, "Is that a giant hamster!? What the heck is that thing!? I want to look closer.." >XDDDDD
Moving on, China was good and bad in many ways. I got to see a lot of history and sightseeing. The bad part would be the bad food and freezing weather. The fish we ate tasted really raw and seafood-y. And we had steam tofu way too many times. Plus we stayed in various hotels. Some were really nice, 5 stars with free internet, king size beds, and silk bed sheets. While others looked like something out of a horror movie. I'm very serious, I was so scared to take a shower. Hahaha. Anyway, we went to Beijing, Nanjing, WuXi, SuZhao, ShangHai, WuZhen and HangZhao. And then it was off to Hong Kong! I love HK. All my Dad's side of the family is over there and I love them to death. Did a bunch of shopping, eating, family time. It was all well. <3
