| Haha, Hey guys and gals! Yeps, I'm back from Mexico ! Sorry about not posting anything in here when I got back =x Ugh, got really sick yesterday (Saturday) so I didn't really have the energy to copy my notebook journal into this one  rAwr I hope I didnt' get west nile or some form of malaria cause I've been bitten by quite a few mosquitos (George, I guess I overlooked some areas of my arm or something)...well anyhoo, I'll try to type up everything after church or something and update.
Anyways, Mexico Outreach this year was pretty awesome. Haha, our team bonded relatively well (well maybe not the T's), but yeah, everyone did indeed work together for His glory. I really want to thank those who prayed for our team during this week! We had an awesome time getting close to God while being able to serve His people wholeheartedly =) |

| This is my last post for about a week. Tomorrow (Saturday) I'll be leaving for my short-term mission trip down to Mexico. Hopefully I'll get to journal everything down and share with you guys when I come back next friday! =) |

| o_O I think being physically tired is really causing me to slide. More sleep after all the house repairs are finished. =) |

| Before posting in this journal, I wasn't quite sure if I really wanted to post devotional learnings publicly. The thing is, however, we should be like (or at least attempt to be) like the man born blind in John 9. Basically in this chapter, there were several responses to Jesus' work in their lives. 1) Complete denial (Pharisees) 2) Surprise (neighbors) 3) Belief in Christ but held in secrecy (Parents of the blind man) and 4)Shameless and growing faith (the blind man). Its interesting how people are so willing to talk about the run-of-the-mill average day cause its so widely accepted, yet are embarrassed to talk about Jesus or something (haha like me). Well, its also okay to post about what you learned during devotions! =) Just take this as an encouragement. Even though the blind man wasn't educated in theology or anything, he realized what He had done for him and caused him to become unashamed and willing to tell everyone what Christ has done in his life. Maybe we can do something like that.
So on Monday night, the decision was to pray for everyone at 10:30. I woke up around 9:00am, so I decided to go to Bally's and to do some cardio. After burning a few hundred Calories, I came home and Dchang and I had an awesome time. Yeah, I think its obvious that people usually come with a 'grocery list' mentality before Him and neglect to thank Him for the great and awesome things he has and is continually doing in our lives. So Dchang and I pretty much had to learn from scratch how to thank Him for everything that he's done for our fellowship/congregation. Haha it was an awesome experience cause time just flies when your talking with Him. Pretty much throughout the afternoon, I was trying to figure out how to clean up the flat part of the roof in order to apply sealant and a protective coating later. Took forever to get 10 years of dirt off of it o_O. Later on in the evening, we met up with Amy and "helped" her with Spanish (though I failed Spanish 2/3 x). Haha Amy and her mom are really nice! =) thanks for the food and pepsi haha. Then afterwards we met up with Peter, but unfortunately, the X-Box that would've allowed us to view movies was taken away by Thomas. Then Peter gave us fake cigarettes that were made out of chocolate or something, haha they were pretty good (so was the packaging material for the UPS box thing with salt). Oh well, we just talked and took Amy home. Back to Peter's place we bumped some KFSH haha. Had an awesome worship time. Haha, had to remind ourselves worship is a whole-day type of heart thing again =) Came home and did devotions on Chapter 9 like I said previously, so yeah. Looking forward to typing and putting up all the journal entries about John. Have a nice day!
New Day. Live it like it could be your last. |
