What did God work in you today?
Breathe as though each breath is a thanksgiving.
Breathe because love is our mission,
And You are the source of love-
What did Jesus do for us today? Reflect!

Miracles! I am looking for miracles in my life. And God already did some
God surely blessed me.
He first revealed to me that he uses sinners through three lecture in August 2004 Canaan Retreat.
Then she show me why Jesus refused to tempt God and that He humble Himself, because we suppose to be living testimony of God
Secondly He shows me that all the events happens to me, good and bad has its purpose which our suffering prepare much more blessing in return through many things surround me.
He has also shown me how Old Testament has mercy, that His character doesn’t change
He shows me verses of His promises, of how great His love is for a bird, a plant, and how he has come heal the sick, etc.
how God has keep his promises, but just use some obstacle to trained our faith
In the Canaan Service, where I made up one of the draft of the play
He shows me that how sometimes I made excuse, or think that something not good is not so bad that I have given in to Satan lies and do wrong, not knowing I’m on the edge of a cliff
He shows me how I deceived myself, and at last only have myself face my consequence of choices
Through writing for God, preparing for a Sunday school session, preparing play for service, I have learnt much
And when the Canaan Sunday is on, I learn to lean on God, and rely on God in serving Him..............

Blessed is My Lord!
My Lord has belssed me much even when I was far away from Him!
Perhaps because I was far away from God, I was especially nervous in my first serving to Lord as worship leader in Sunday school morning service. I was very nervous in my first serving in children fellowship worship service, too. Though I have a few times experience in leading worship in Canaan Fellowship, I was so nervious during that Sunday school morning that I kept praying in my heart to Lord, “Lord, I know my relationship with you is not right, but this is Your service. It is all about You, not me. Please guard my service to You.”
As I tried out various position in church, I learnt to rely on God more often and become more humble.
God is all powerful. He can take away and restore.
When my spiritual welfare was poor, God took away some people from my main Chrisitian groups in which I am a host of: from 149 to 142. I know this is a warning from God, so I repented and have much more understanding into my own weaknesses. Yonder I might have known them in my head, now I have come to see that they are necessary to be removed from my habits and lifestyle. I have become more fear of God.
God can take away and He can restore, too.
In the past few semester of my college life, I have been progressively improve in my effort in studying, yet sometimes I still fall into temptations. God has also blessed me to have the opportunity to provide feedback for drafts of a Christian fiction book, where I learnt much more about strippers, their life, and how God has been blessing the author in working the strippers in spreading the seed of the gospel. God has shown me the purpose of my life, without showing the career of my life. He has provided me many opportunity to serve Him, and I have become much more rely on Him. I pray that He will bless my Sunday school session this coming Sunday, where I am responsible to present a chapter of a book.
All things work toward the God’s Plan. I hand everything in my life to you. Please discipline me Lord. Please make me fear You. Please guard my service to You.
I praise You, Lord- everyday during my wait for buses, I sing praises to You; every night I sleep with my praises radio station on.
Please continue to discipline Lord. Make me fear You.
I pray this in Your Precious Name. Amen.

I realize how often I lack of faith

I haven't heard from the person who is processing my UVic admission
after I called him yesterday regarding transcript. Might be I shall
phone again tomorrow. Take Federal or Provincial benefit for people
with permenant disabilities? If I enrolled in PWD provincial, I might
not get federal PWD service. But if I earn more than 400 Cdn, then, my
benefit will got cut down in provincial benefit.
Today, I got my accounting resume and cover letter done. I found 56 firms in a yellow page BC Canada, but not all of them are that near to me. Some of the listing doesn't have street number but postal code, and I am trying to figure out the exact address of their location.
My short term memories, attention, observation, alertness, sense of surounding and danger are very low recently. They were there all along while I was sick. Some of them I noticed even before I was diagnosed. Not good, not good.
Today, I count my blessing, when I try to share with a friends, the miracles in my life, that God has given me. I can't under-estimate how Schizophrena, and my learning disability are impacting my life. What I can't over look is also God's grace in walking through each step by me. After I tried to fill out the first part of PWD application. I realized I went through and improved a lot in the progress of my illness, that, no human power can do alone. I am not saying, I am in the worst senerio in the world. I am not saying we dont' need to strive for it. All I am saying and all often come across in my brain is this: If God comes and judges me today, I have no excuse in not knowing His love, and haven't heard His Word.
But I am rebellious, I want to stay within my comfort zone, I lack of faith in God, cuz I can't see the end result. Yet each time, when the tough part is through, I witness again He was with me and He has always been with me.But when will this cycle stop, and I will just believe without a doubt?

God has been working in me, and within my family and within the hearts of ppl in this town that do not want to notice or even believe that I do pray for them. The ones that think that I look at them as enemies when I do not. I pray for them because they would be the ones that need the most prayer.

Pslam 139:1-6

Psa 139:1-6
(1) (A psalm by David for the music leader.) You have looked deep into my heart, LORD, and you know all about me.
(2) You know when I am resting or when I am working, and from heaven you discover my thoughts.
(3) You notice everything I do and everywhere I go.
(4) Before I even speak a word, you know what I will say,
(5) and with your powerful arm you protect me from every side.
(6) I can't understand all of this! Such wonderful knowledge is far above me.
I took notes on Psalme 139 before.
Each time I read it, I felt warmth, completed, understood, thankful.
This time I read it, it gave greater personal level.
Just before I read it, I talked to a brother in Christ and he advise me
to pray before doing anything each day,
that each day I would close my eyes, confess that I need Him,
confess my sins,
and ask Him to provide wisdom as I read the Bible
and that God will speak to me directly, for direction of everyday.
That I don't need to believe in me,
but believe in Him.
For without Him, there is nothing.
There are thousands of things I can praise God for, but in my weakness I always forget His grace. Thousands and thousands.
One of them is placing each of the brothers and sisters in Christ in my life, you all always provide me with objective and constructive feedback, I humbly thank you for your honestly and your friendship.
I wish I can give more, tonight I shall pray God will help me to give more to brothers and sisters in Christ, to understand the true meaning of "Team Work"
I thank you all for accepting me into the family, accepting my imperfection and still loving me and praying for me.
And there are thousands things else to give thanks for, but often I am afraid to ask people to go to church. (though I dont know any Asian in personal level outside church)
I shall be proud to give testimony for God!
Amen!

Mat 21:28-31
(28) Jesus said: I will tell you a story about a man who had two sons. Then you can tell me what you think. The father went to the older son and said, "Go work in the vineyard today!"
(29) His son told him that he would not do it, but later he changed his mind and went.
(30) The man then told his younger son to go work in the vineyard. The boy said he would, but he didn't go.
(31) Which one of the sons obeyed his father? "The older one," the chief priests and leaders answered. Then Jesus told them: You can be sure that tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you ever will!
Oh God, plz make me change my mind today and turn away from temptation daily! Plz make me realize I need to confess everyday to you, that I shall not belittle anyone.
Plz may I not be the one who turn away from you (no faith, not no work), but the one who turns to you.
The gate of heaven is narrowed. Many hear but deaf, many see but blind!
Some seeds stayed in the rock for awhile, then it is gone!
May I not be that seed on the rock.
Let not Satan stole our crown away!
You are the who control the harvest time!
Yes once saved forever saved,
But that is what is real faith?
Faith is believe in the Trinity- Father, Son and Holy Spirit is one God and only God.
Faith is believe the Son is born of Virgin Mary, and His blood takes away our sins,
That NO one but Him shall we enter into the gate of Heaven.
Faith= U Acknowledge God Loves You, and You Response Back and Accept His Love.
That's all!
How To Response His Love?
Spent Entire Life Learning to be Happy for Others People Happiness! Love Them.
Amen!

That is what GOD worked in me Today.i noticed that it was easy for me to LOVE those that agree with my ideas & are nice to me; but THAT by itself is a Contradiction of what REAL LOVE Is ALL About:- The New Testament (in the BIBLE)in the 1st letter to the CORINTHIANS chapter 13 is the Defenition of REAL LOVE:-1Corinthians 13/ 1 -13
LOVE:
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am
only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and
can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move
mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor
and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not
proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the
truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there
are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part,but when perfection comes, the
imperfect disappears.When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought
like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways
behind me.Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see
face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully
known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these
is love.
