Still in Awe...
Today and every other day seems great and good even though tried-ness is getting into me. Thank God that school is coming to a end and of course feeling sad because don't get to see all friends and also studies. Classes today seems so easy and light maybe because exams are just around the corner.
It's been already four months that I'm here already. I'm still amaze that I'm here studying and I cannot believe it. This is so much like in a dream and it feels like a dream. Many of you would know because i always talk about America and the schools here most of the time for two years of my free time. Still in shock, in awe, in amazement, and in a dream. I really think that this dream is going to go on forever till i finish school here.
But overall, i thank God that He has brought me here, i thank God that i waited for His command in my life, i thank God for the prayers that the church and friends prayed for me, i thank God that i obeyed, i thank God that I'm doing well and above well, i thank God that this school fits me so well, i thank God for the hearts of the teachers here, willing to teach, i thank God that i made friends here, i thank God Liberty University is such a amazing school that one's to change the people a degree at a time. I really thank God.
I still feel now that I'm still in a dream. I still believe that you guys should continue to pray for me and the rest that are overseas studying now as i and i believe the rest are also praying for you guys back home. Prayers are important. Don't stop because overseas here to we need to share the gospel. I can say that pray makes the world go round.
So you know what to do, i'll be back till then nighty night. =)
P.S i miss you guys a lot. 8 months more. believe it or not, i sometime cry at night just wanting to see the many smiling faces that i know. i counted 3 times. hehe =)
WeeWee!!!

Miles McPherson motivates students
Miles McPherson, president of Miles Ahead Ministries and pastor of the Rock Church in San Diego, Calif., encouraged students to be careful of the deceptions of Satan.
As a former NFL player with the Los Angeles Rams and the San Diego Chargers, McPherson experienced his fair share of what the world had to offer him. After years of living an immoral lifestyle filled with drug use, McPherson realized he was empty inside and in 1984 decided to give his life to Christ.
In 1992, he began Miles Ahead Ministries to reach out to youth and in February 2000 the Rock Church held its first service.
Reading the account of the Fall of Man in Genesis 3, McPherson told students Satan is a mastermind in deception. Satan speaks to Eve in the Garden of Eden and deceives her into questioning God. McPherson said her first mistake was speaking with Satan.
“He had no good intentions. His name is destroyer; he wants to destroy you,” he said.
In Genesis 3:7-9 Adam and Eve try to hide themselves from God; McPherson said Satan makes people believe they can sin and hide it from God.
“Every time you sin, you think you will get away with it,” he said.
McPherson said sin is fun for a season but Satan will never tell of the pain that will be endured afterward.
He closed by saying God has a plan for every person’s life and as Christians it is their job to obey Him.
“God loves every single one of you beyond your wildest dreams, he doesn’t want you to hide from him, he doesn’t want you to run from him,” he said. “[God says] ‘I want you to let me restore you to a right place, I want to show you all I have planned for you because what I have planned for you goes beyond your wildest dreams of what you’ve ever asked for.’”
That is the same dude that preach during Sunday but he also preach a different message which is good. =)
