High On God

Hello Readers,

It's been two and half years i have been studying in Liberty University. Truly this school is special to me. First of all, it is God that place me here. I do not know how He did it. Every major school that i wanted to go did not take me because of my high school result. I did not know what and how to do to get into school. Doors just kept on closing before me. I was frustrated with myself and my parents were too frustrated.

Two years i was searching deep within myself the direction the Lord wanted me take. Parents and people did not understand why i took so long. I was simply waiting on the God. I always belief that God create everyday to give some sought of lesson. My two years were to build me and the people around me. The two years were to understand that God is to move me and not me to move Him. God directs the path, i just then have to take the first step.

The lesson was patience.

God was just doing a work in me to take step by step from Him till He show me the next big move. I see the two years that i spend is for me to understand people better as in understand personality, character, and attitudes. He even show me the career that He wanted me to be. Liberty University just light up before me. This school i have heard of it before from my father friend, Rodney Duncan, he has been telling my dad for years even i was in school. I was not interested of Liberty University because the school was not a major school compare to Harvard, University of North Carolina, Duke, and others major ivy league school.

Something deep down in me told me to go to America.

I did not want to go to Liberty University because it did not click with my previous dream (and still my dream) is to be in NBA (National Basketball Association). Another reason was that i did not want to go to Christian school. I have been living the Christian bubble for so long. Not that i do not like being a Christian. I would never understand the real world till, well, start work. (i do not know what my parents had in mind for me to keeping me in Christian school). I have not been expose to evilness of this world. Some (many) times think that my parents want me to change my mind in whatever career i wanted to do and be the pastor of CBC, Community Baptist Church, like taking over my father's place. I'm not angry with my parents for sending me to Christian schools. I do not know what to think.

Troubling thoughts. The career that God place in my life was to do something with sports. I'm going to be physical therapist.

Well what got me into Liberty University was that God kept closing other doors and pushing me into this school instead. The journey began for me and everything unfold for me. Liberty University just amaze me in many levels. God handy blessing was in my life. The two years spending praying and seeking was not in vain. The process in getting in this school was quick and hard. My first year was good and gets better each year. Pretty much i'm just coasting with God's blessing in my life. My studies is in His hands. The results are for His glory.

Now i pray that this school will support me more financially.

Liberty University has really groom me to be a Champion for Christ. The lessons in class are centered around God's truth. There are people praying for me and me praying for people in my group. This school is build by prayer.

I may not show my spiritual-ness to many but God knows me.

The short-term pursue for me in this school is to become an RD (Resident Director). In order for me to get that position is to become a RA (Resident Assistant). This are tough positions to get because there are many good candidates. Not that i'm not good for those positions just some people are better than me. Right now i'm trying out to be a Spiritual Life Director (SLD). It is a great position and hope that i can get it.
I do want to finish school on time but i think God is holding me back to stay on in this school. I need to pray on this and prayers too.

Love,

PS. here is youtube link to my school Liberty University.

Hey Readers,

School is starting. Time to hit the books.
I'm really excited for this semester. Some how this semester seems better and brighter for me. I guess God has something install for me.

3 years already i have been in Liberty University.
I have enjoyed all my three years here. Made great friends that are a lasting memory. This university is true to it's purpose is to train champions for Christ.
This school is still very young and has room to change in all levels.
I wish that they pay more attention to the international program and made it feasible for international students to study here. (By providing more scholarships).

Anyway, all in all this school worth coming to receive a Christian base education in any field of study.

I'm ready for school.
Yet i can't wait to go home. haha. Just few more months (like four months and i'll be back).
alright, catch me later. see ya

60,000 feet

Hey,

I'm currently in Altanta Airport waiting for my next flight to Lynchburg, Virginia.
The crazy thing is that i arrive here in the morning and there is no flights out to school except in the night. Right now, i'm stuck in Altanta airport till then.
That is the down side.

The upside is i do enjoy flying. I like being 60,000+ feet in the air. At times i wish, i could just skydive. Or stay in the air as long as possible.
I wish i could be pilot (the education is so expensive). Oh well

____________________________________________________________

I'm ready for school this year. Whole lot of new challenges. Hope to continue to do well.

Simple Thoughts

Hey Readers,

Today you are getting expose a little to my church issue.
I do love my church with all my heart. I want to my church grow not in numbers only but rooted in the relationship with God.
In all my years attending church, this is my first encounter of church people not bring their Bibles at all.
(i'm also guilty of this too).

There is nothing wrong with not bring your Bible to church. There is no evidence in the Bible tell people to bring  the Bible to church. BUT....
In the Bible, it teaches people to memorizes scripture. Keeping God's Word close to your heart, soul, and mind.
Here is why we should memorizes scripture. Click here
If you memorizes scripture and don't bring your Bible then i understand.

But all in all, do you think is good to bring your Bible to church?
I do really think that people should keep their Bible close to you like clothing.
The reason is...
1. If you receive something from God and is scripture related. You can look it up and write something on it.
2. It is a clear indicator to the Pastor that you are following him/her in his/her sermon. (It will encourage the Pastor to prepare more deeper messages from God).
3. To new comes to the church, they will see that the church has great respect and love of God. Imagine with me, you did not bring your Bible; however, you have your phone Bible. I'm not against phone Bible. (What message does it send to the new comer?) The new comer may think that the church people do not care what is preach on the pulpit and the Word of God is just bunch of nonsense.
4. Phone Bibles is a bigger distraction than someone sleeping in church.

Come on people of God.
Where is the respect and the love for God.
Me seeing people in church not bring their Bible. Really insane.
This tells me a lot about your devotion with God.
It tells that you spend very little time talking to God, God is not clearly major center of your life, and you tend to blame God for things not going your way. Correct me if i'm wrong.
The pastor preaching in church and seeing his or her congregation is not engage to the sermon. Do you think he or she would want to prepare a great sermon?

The Bible is really important to a lover of Christ. It should not be left around collecting dust on your bookshelf or somewhere. The Bible was put together so that people would get to know God in a personal level.
Come on people who love God. You can do better. Make it a habit to bring your Bible everywhere. Learn to read it. The Word of God is something that God created for you and me to know Him.

This issue really hurts me a lot now.
The Bible must have for whoever love Christ.

Church please. Do not let the evil one tempt you on this. The Bible is our only weapon against satan and his gang.

This is just my thoughts and what i saw in my church.

Still Water Drips

Hello Readers,

My life seems to be on the edge of cliff. I do not know how to explain my situation. At times i just feel inside that i'm a lie or deception. I guess i'm in all this mess is because of the choices i made in the past.
Many times i just think back and wish i was in a wealthy family.
The education i can have, the things i can get and enjoy life with no worries.

I'm not saying my family is not doing well.
My whole family are slightly above average family.
Until my parents turn missionaries.

Now actually the problem is my education. I'm in university now. Doing very well academically but financially not so.
Everyday i pray by myself that someone would help me financially like pay for my education in whole.
I want to be physical therapist. The line i'm going in is very expensive as similar to being a medical doctor.
I just cry myself to sleep.
I wish like those stories in the newspaper or TV like some wealthy person just wants to bless an individual life because the rich man wants to see person dream to be come true.

So i'm a missionary kid. Who need money to continue to study in the states. Help.

Love,
