Hello y'all! Weekend was good! I had to work Saturday night, though... and I had to work an extra hour because the clock went back an hour :( It was a torture! I had to watch the heart monitors all night!
Sunday, man! I had to be in the nursery...it was a chaos! But it was cool... I get to play with the kids and sing along with them :D After church I got to hang out with the kids.. we're planning on watching Jonah, Veggietales movie, this Saturday. I can't wait!
Sunday night, we had a banquet for the International Bible Seminary Students graduates, food was good! :D But spiritual food was even better! :) Dr. Young talked about how God treats us soooo special, that we really are the only ones He created with His bare hands! The other things, He just spoke the words and began their existence. God is so precise, He created everything perfectly! Shape of the Earth is just right, the distance of the Earth to the Sun is just right, everything He created is perfect! He knew what to do and still does! All we have to do is TRUST Him! We may not see the big picture, but God sees it! And there's a verse that I heard last night that I just love! We are wonderfully and marvelously made! Psalms 139:14
With that verse, I must go now. God Bless!
What's up with me?
Well, just want to speak out what's on my mind, or what's been going on with me. Well, yes, I'm under construction. From glory to glory He changes me!

This past weekend was awesome! I went to San Francisco, met my friends there, met my new friends! :) They are awesome! I was soooo happy to see them!
Arrived there Friday night and we went to the Red Lobster, we stayed at one of our friends apartment in Oakland. We enjoyed talking until past midnight already.
Saturday morning we went to the park, had our devotion from Matthew 26:36-46, reminded of what Jesus went through for our sake & sang a song for Him. Two of our friends shared a testimony, how God has been faithful and good to them. We had a Bible Study from Joshua 24, about who to serve and why to serve. We shared our views, it was a good Bible Study. Then we had our San Francisco Tour, enjoying and admiring God's creation, the mountains, the seas, the lakes. We crossed the Golden Gate Bridge, it was about 1.5 miles, wind was cool. The bus ride was fun too, we were singing, and there's these two wonderful kids, the boy was 4 and his sister 8, they love to sing. I taught the girl a song and she learned it! And she kept on asking me to sing :D
Saturday evening, we had our dinner at a Vietnamese Restaurant. Food was ver good! Saturday night, we had our prayer meeting, we prayed for each other and for the group. We then again had a praise & worship, it was awesome! After that we head back to the apartment, we started chatting again, enjoying each others company. I think we didn't sleep until 2:30 AM. Me and another one had to fly back home at 7 AM of Sunday so, we left at 5. I was sad, "I'm gonna miss them." I said to myself.
I'm gonna see them again, somehow.

Yesterday, my friend and I went to Starbucks. We talked... well she talked more than I did, that was the purpose of going out last night, listen to her. I'm glad she's feeling a little bit better.
Me? I'm feeling sad today. We are having a problem with my sister, she's 17. I don't know what's the deal with her.
Let me just sing...
I cast all my cares upon You
I lay all of my burdens down at Your feet
And many times, I don't know
What to do
I will cast all my cares upon You
Psalms 55:22
Another song....
Why so downcast, oh my soul?
Put your hope in God
And bless the Lord, oh my soul!
Psalms 42:11
I'm just so glad that God is faithful!

Hello! How r u all doing? It's more than a week now since I wrote. What happened then? I watched a concert. Skillet were awesome! They were rockin'! The Difference was the opening act, all female band that I never heard of, they were good, though, very good! Skillet played Gasoline, Invincible, The One, Rest, You Are My Hope, Alien Youth and more. We had praise & worship too. John Cooper, the lead vocalist, talked to his audience about how God long for more passionate Christians. He went on to say that if he had to boast, he will boast of the death and the ressurection of Jesus Christ. He said that if it is the case to every Christian, revival will come. He did say too that people don't want to be like Christians, because Christians are not acting like Christians. Such powerful statement. Most people who came to the concert were Christians, but he did an altar call anyways, there were few kids who received Christ and surrendered their lives to Him for the very first time! It was awesome! And a lot of Christians rededicated their lives, wanting to be passionate Christians, not merely forgiven only, but PASSIONATE! Giving their all to God!
By the way, it happened Thursday night.
Friday night, Youth Quake Live! They had pretty good skits, and we got introduced to a new song called, Solid. It has great message on it! By the way, the topic was about Solid. Being a Solid Christian, standing up for what is right no matter what! Sean Yost, the host talked about how to be Solid. To be solid we need to be IN the WORD. He also talked about the distractions to our pursuit to be Solid. It can be our friends, media. Anything that can go between us & God.
Yesterday, at Worship service, our Pastor talked about the ways to keep the marriage for life. That is the need now! Divorce rate among Christians are just as high as the secular which is very sad.
I have to leave. I'll keep you all posted. God Bless!
