Happy New Year

In case I don't have a chance to say this, I will say it.
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
Because I will be going to Winter Conference in 12 hours, I would love to post something before I leave.
Reflecting back to my blogs, I have written NUMEROUS of entries in 1 year.
So it would be nice to read it over again and laugh at it.
Anyhow, 886.

Merry Christmas!

"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." (Isaiah 9:6)

"For God loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Nobody knows when Christ was exactly born.
It is a not a paganism.
It is THE time to reflect and look back at that moment when He was born in that manger.
It was a beautiful moment.
He came to offer himself as a sacrifice for our sins...to save us from death.
He came to set apart between us, the world, and God the Father.
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and MEN, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men - the testimony given in its proper time." (1 Timothy 2:5-6)
Let Christians rejoice because of this great big meaningful moment!

Good Christian men rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Give ye heed to what we say
News! News!
Jesus Christ is born today!
Ox and ass before Him bow
And He is in the manger now
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye hear of endless bliss
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this
He hath ope'd the heav'nly door
And man is blessed evermore
Christ was born for this
Christ was born for this

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace! Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain His everlasting hall
Christ was born to save
Christ was born to save

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Agreement (Acts 8:21-23)

I am quite discouraged with a lot of stuff.
I was thinking to myself, "How am I going to make it through University?"
Sometimes, I do feel like I am not able to graduate.
Today, I did so much wickedness before God.
I was disobedient before Him.
My mind and heart are so messed up with darkness and wickedness.
Believe it or not, when I experience Satan's power, he could put me to death.
Oh man...my heart feels so heavy.
Looking back today, most of my final marks came.
I thought I would just forget about it and move on since it's over and done with...but I just keep coming back to it.
First of all, it was very UNFAIR.
Second of all, it was very discouraging.
I keep telling myself, "I don't deserve this, I don't deserve this!"
Well, maybe I do.
I have to admit, I am not being humble about it.
I have to admit, there's no repentance within me.
I have to admit, when I know what I do could send me straight to hell, I do.
I have to admit, there's no fear in God in me.
When I realized that my heart is heavy, I am scared already.
I am so fearful that God would end me right here.
When I do sin, I immediately ask myself, "WHY!......"
Yesterday, I never realized how ungodly I am.
The way I treat my family and my little brother.
Whenever I talk to my little brother, maybe I do sound like a jerk and speak straight without thinking.
What am I doing?
God is right, I am that kind of person.
"You have no part or share in this ministry, because your heart is not right before God. Repent of this wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin."
THERE'S NO AGREEMENT BETWEEN ME AND GOD!
I just want to say that my heart is not right before God.
I need to set an agreement with Him.
I need to believe in His ways.
Isaiah 55:8
Pray for me.

Ready! Set! Go! (1 Timothy 4)

Before I begin my study for my final exam on Saturday, I want to do some sharing.
I don't know about you, but there are quite a lot of misconceptions in terms of understanding doctrines.
For me, I get confused too.
There's a either a false doctrine, or THE divine doctrine.
The Bible tells us to follow the correct doctrine, that is why Paul wrote an instruction to Timothy.
It is also warning about us about false teachings.
I won't quote, but I do encourage you readers to look it up too.
I was quite surprised when I read the first two verses.
I believe that even a faithful person can walk away from God.
In verse 6, it challenges us all to take action if there are some issues going on.
"Train yourself to be godly" because "godliness has value for all things."
Therefore, it says in verse 12-14.
In verse 15-16, it is telling to stand firm and be on our guard for false teachers who are teaching false doctrines.

Continue to be loyal.
Even though I fall, may my heart continue to be sincere.
It is quite true that when trying to do what is good and pleasing to the Lord, Satan will come and attack me.
May it be the sin that does it, not me.
Continue to fight the good fight of faith.
Time to study.

Cold

This morning, the atmosphere seems like it gone below 0 degree celcius.
As I was still on my bed sleeping, I realized I missed the church service.
Wow, I never thought the weather would get me.
Therefore, I slept in.
Just a moment ago, I talked to her again.
Here comes the love story...as you guys might be interested in.
Some of you guys are already wondering what has been happening between her and I.
We are just friends.
Perhaps not much of a big deal.
I do enjoy talking to her on the phone each Sunday night.
Yes, most of the time spent in communication are during Sunday nights.
Sunday night was the night I told her that I am attracted to her.
Sunday night was also the night that I made my covenant with her that we would pray for each other for 1 year.
 Sunday night is perhaps a very meaningful moment, except I don't know what it means to me.
Don't know why we talk to each other during Sunday Night.
THEREFORE, whenever it is SN, you guys might think I am already talking to her.
I haven't seen her for three weeks now.
Perhaps by the time I see her lovely appearance(yes, I am acknowledging), my eyes would sparkle.
 Most of you guys still don't even know who she is.
Jilly Jill Jill is already curious.
Here's a challenge =) Yes, I am already making a challenge.
For those who doesn't know, do some investigation =D, but don't interrogate me.
For those who do know, DON"T TELL THEM.
Anyhow, it is very cold.
Must read Bible.

Psalm 91:14-16

While enduring this heavy loaded week, I still desire to know God and remember Him every moment.
He is my Lord and my Savior.
I cannot forget about His great love for us.
I felt betrayed by my project partner.
I come to understand what kind of person (don't want to put the gender) is.
There are quite a lot of selfish and ambitious in University.
In university, it is a competition to see who strives to get the degree first.
Therefore, I almost thought I would fail the project assignment.
In the positive side, I try not to think negatively, but to continue to count on God in every circumstances.
I was thinking, now what do I do?
That person took most of the codes that we both shared.
That ex-partner did send me the whole source code for me to get my "perfect marks".
I don't care if I get my marks or not, but I want to understand what I am doing.
If I don't understand now, then how would I understand for my Final?
However, God really blessed me.
As the clock was ticking to the deadline, I was at the stressful moment.
I don't know what to do.
I have no clue what I am doing.
It is funny that some readers might think I should have just used the code that person sent me.
Like I just said, I don't want to just get marks...plus I don't want to let the TA think I was cheating.
I don't want to be dumb enough to just take the source code, and change it a bit and think that it is my code.
I don't think prof and TA are really that dumb.
The TA was really nice to let me off the hook by allowing me to let him mark it on Thursday.
Which great because I have a little bit of more time to finish it.
I am kind of done, but there are still some debugging I need to do.
If it is God's will for me to get my full mark on Thursday, then let His will be done and I'll rejoice.
Even though I don't get the full mark, I will still rejoice because I didn't got a 0.
Overall, I forgive that person for betraying me.
I forgive that person for ditching me
I forgive that person because that person doesn't know God.
I forgive that person because that person does not have a personal relationship with Jesus.
I forgive that person because that person is a sinner just like me.
I forgive because I LOVE just as He first loved us.
If we don't know how to love, then we don't know God.
If we hate, then we don't know God.


As I was reading Psalm, this passage struck me.
"Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."
I wonder, how do you guys approach God?
What kind of attitude do you have towards Him?
If you don't love Him, but want to ask Him to do something, then I wonder if He will answer that your prayer.
I believe it is the attitude when we come before God.
With a faithful and sincere heart to seek His love by allowing ourselves to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength.
Even through times of trouble like this week, I need to depend on God.
I need to continue to learn how to love Him.
I want to have a clean and positive attitude when I approach Him.
