Just Friggin Do It.
There’s been this certain habit that keeps reoccurring at our church. I, sadly to say, am included among those that are guilty of this. Oftentimes when we come together at church, at prayer meeting, or anywhere when we talk about what’s happening, spiritually, in our life, we always managed to complain about how bad things are going. These complaints tend to consistently run along the lines of how...
When at the end of my life, or maybe a few decades down the road, or maybe a year later, or maybe even tomorrow, I might look back on who I am now. And when I do, I don’t want to sit and reminisce about what I could have done, I want to remember and smile about what I did do.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Christmas to Christmas
It’s been another year already since the last Christmas. And time seems to have just flown by. Nothing seems to have changed. But looking back, what a lie that is =P
The last year has been filled with love and drama and excitement and celebration for God’s work and happiness and sadness and everything else that makes us human. In school I’ve found a drive that I’ve never...
Born for the Most High
“And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins” - Luke 1:76-77
One thing I’m sure just about all of you can agree with me on is that we struggle often with a sense of insignificance. You might have experienced such a...

Personality Test Results:
The Protector
As an INFJ, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you take things in primarily via intuition. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit with your personal value system.
INFJs are gentle, caring, complex and highly intuitive individuals. Artistic and creative, they live in a world of hidden...

Spiritual Warfare, part 1
So I was gonna write one huge post about spiritual warfare, what it is, all its specific things and the weapons of the 2 kingdoms. But then I realized how big of a topic it really was, so I’ve decided to split it into several parts. I’ve yet to decide how many parts, but I suppose as many parts as it needs to be. Wendy Chou, our former youth pastor, always used to challenge us to not...
Time
One year. 365 days. Of all the things that man has the guts to do, he attempts to take something as unbendable and uncontrollable as time and tries to fit it in a box neatly labeled and sections off, day after day, week after week, year after year. But what if we were to take away the notion that everything must be put in a box? What if we took away the value we placed on time? What if by some...

Be Your Own Voice
This is to all you fellow bloggers out there as well as to anybody else in the world that is reading this blog.
I’ve noticed around me that there is a habit that seems to be growing. People take what they hear, and they act as a sound board. In real life, they hear rumors about someone or something, and they repeat it to everybody else around them. On Tumblr, you have people constantly...

Real Change
You can’t really force someone to change. You can’t force them to change something they do, no matter how much you pressure them. Make them hide it from you and everyone else, chase what they do to the deepest and darkest part of their heart, maybe, but no, not change them. That just doesn’t happen. What changes people is having them see you live out your own words, and showing...

Pray and... pray
I love hearing people’s stories. I love listening to how they became who they are, whether the story is messed up or beautiful. I even enjoy listening to people tell me their problems that they’re going through. It’s just part of me.
Whenever people have come to me with their problems, I’ve approached it in different ways. A long time ago, years ago, I gave advice, lots...

Dear Single/Taken Ladies,
Why is it that those guys who are nice, caring, and great christian guys, are the ones always being left in the dust. We try so hard to relate to girls and to find ways to have girls interested in us, but it never seems to work. I know God has a plan for me and that the right one of you will come along sometime, but I feel it will never come. Please give us a chance...

Don't Doubt Just Yet
One thing that continues to amaze me is that even in the worst situations, God always comes through. And somewhere down the road, when you look back on the trouble you had to endure, you see suddenly that God had used the situation to make you grow and learn something important.
An interesting thing that I’ve seen is that the faith Christians have doesn’t start to crumble when what...
Frustration
It still manages to burn me with frustration the fact that I am so ridiculously shut down on for every little thing I do that seems out of line, especially by some of my friends. Yet here I am, having to stare straight in the face of people doing stuff almost similar to what I did, maybe “worse” yet no one says a thing to them. The thing that disgusts me the most is that the friends...

Spiritual Warfare report
It seems that as one thing piles onto another, pardon my language, hell is breaking loose to try to muffle up our attempts to cry out to God for revival. It’s been quite a while since I’ve known the sadness and frustration that came from being pushed back by the world. For quite a bit longer than a year, I’ve been complacent and nearly spiritually dead. And when your like that,...
