UnHand Me...

Hey,


Today was my last day in Kansas City. Is not fun touching snow with your bear hands. It burns. A step closer to frost-bite.

Anyway, that picture was taken before today. There was a snow storm but i couldn't take picture because the pictures turn out unable to show the snow.

Back today as my last day here in Kansas City. It's been a good stay here, i enjoy staying with family friends and i hope that i would be able to stay with them next time.
My friend drop me at the airport after a long drive getting there. We kinda took a different route and find ourselves lost. But American roads are quite easy. Just need to find the right number and it will lead you to where you need to go.
i forgot to take some pictures of the airport. The airport here in Kansas City is skinny. Unlike Malaysian airport. This airport is thin that the parking lot is near by the airplanes and near by to the terminals. It takes like 5 minutes to get to the terminal from the parking lot by walking.

In the end, my flight was smooth. Arrive back here with ease. Waited for my friend for 45 minutes to pick me. He just finish work.
Now back at the dorms. Preparing myself for school. Have to get books soon. Hope things will be good.

i have to sleep. i have been up since 6am. So catch me on the next post. Nighty night.

Fingers,

UnMade Nature...

Hi,

Sunday. It was good. This church that i'm attending is just very filled with Holy Spirit. Coming to church, entering the church, sitting down, worshiping, announcements, and word was just very Spirited filled.

I church are just into God and each member that my friend introduce are all well known in the word. And are speaking life. That is what i like to see in church. People just all striving to have a better relationship with God. And it does end at in the church. It's 24/7

Coming back home. My friend ordered KFC. This is the first time that i ate KFC overseas. The chicken here is really really different. From the size to taste. The chicken that we ordered are like 3 size of Malaysian KFC breast meat to one American KFC.
Oh it was good.



The rest of the day, i just mostly took nap and did some reading. And just packing to fly tomorrow.
I believe that God is doing something very great and powerful this coming days. Not in my life only but to the whole Christian world. This big thing is Revival. New leaders and people are going to rise up and are going to be bold for Jesus.
Christianity in the world is in a decreasing. Yes you may see people coming to church but all over the world is decreasing. in America alone there is about 4-6% that are truly Jesus believer. It's a shocking number and a dangerous one.
People is time to rise up in boldness and in love. Let's show that this God relationship we have as Christians is very real and meaningful and is worth loving a this God, Jesus Christ.


I hope i have impacted your heart on this issue that we, Christians, need to take action and less on-us-focus. Now is late. Flight in the early hours of the morning. So nighty night.


Pray,

InHuman Mind Bend

Hi,

Saturday was full of work. Well my friend's house is not complete fix-up. So there were painters and repairers and other people helping out in the house.
I help out with some fixing and shifting of things.

The whole day was just helping out other people. It's amazing how American people work. There were like 6 people, 2 per room, painting and all done in like 4-5 hours.

Long day for me till then nighty night.

Cosmic Above is Thundering Love

Hi,

Friday. It was a shocker for me. i woke up to the sound alarm of my phone ringing away. i know i didn't put an alarm on because i told myself that i was going to sleep in. The phone ringing. Peeping at my phone. It was a phone call from my friend that i was staying with.
Early in the morning, he told me that he was going out with me still three-quarter sleep. About 1 hour later the call i receive on my phone. It was my friend. He was stuck in the snow just outside the house. He call me to help him out with snow. Shover snow.
The scenario is that he was going to drop of his son to school. The drive away down to the main street was cover with snow and the snow cover the path down. He drove down and got stuck in a big layer of snow. Tried to dig him out of it but is hard. It's just not easy working or clearing snow in cold weather.
He called reenforcement to clear the snow and another person to drop his school to school.

We manage to get the car free. Clear a good path from the garage to the main street.



My day was just feeling a little sleepy. I mostly sleep again. Today was exceptionally cold. People and reporters say that this winter season is the worse. It was suppose to get worse during February which i guess it's going to be even worse at that month.
Anyway, pray for the weather to subside. So i can fly back to Lynchburg with no delay. Hopefully school would be open for me to buy books and get ready for school.


More personal level:
I'm doing fine except for the cold weather. I enjoy this snow Christmas. I experience the American Christmas with an American family. It was worth seeing the traditions and culture here. Well Christmas here is totally different in Malaysia.
Besides that, i guess i'm doing fine. I just cannot wait to go home to Malaysia. On my mind now is just to finish this semester studies strong, reach my fitness level, and have greater relationship with God. Do continue to pray for me.

Pray,
1. Pray for me to continue to have good health
2. Pray that i will stay focus on my studies
3. Pray that my relationship with Jesus is intense. More love
4. Pray for me to get more scholarships. It is truly very hard for internationals.
5. Pray for God to guide me in what second-degree He wants me to have. Struggling whether i should do youth ministry or ministry or Bible history or

I guess i cover the most important things to pray for me.



Other things...
I heard about the Church burning thing back home in Malaysia. I find it not shocking at all. Why is it so important to use "Allah" in the Bible or other usage. This matter is so small. It shouldn't trouble us, Christian. The most important issue that should bother us, Christians, is in how to tell them the truth. They are lost in their religion. We, Christians, should be the one to guide people to know the love-relationship with Jesus Christ. We, Christians, are the ones that suppose to disciple people the truth. People don't understand that Christianity is not a religion but is a love-relationship with Jesus-Christ.

So Christians don't make it any bigger of a issue of this. We should be praying for them and loving them. The first commandment that Jesus Christ gave us should be so dear to our heart and should be apply to all people. Matthew 22:36-40.

i hope i'm straight to my point. This problem is the like the saying the Bible "reap what you sow" Galatians 6:7-9. From this there will be more problems.

i'm not tell you this to push you off but to tell you the truth.





Okay, i guess if you have any questions. Please be good questions and worth while arguing. Anyway, off to bed for me. Nighty night.

Form A Loop

Hey,

Thursday was just uneventful. Didn't do much. I mostly been reading. I'm beginning to appreciate reading books besides from studying. But i still prefer instant stuff. Like just tell me this equal this and i would be fine with the answer.
That's why went i read the Bible i always tell myself to find solutions to this and that. Well i guess is my OCD-ness yet i like doing it.

I receive a call later in the day to help out clear snow on the drive way. Clearing snow is easy but getting rid of the ice is not easy. Snow is just very soft and ice is melted snow and it refreeze to become ice.
It's not fun clearing snow and ice. It really hurts. I think been doing this past few days have given me a backache. I so want a back-rub from good soft tender hands massage.

i have been thinking. Actually not many people have given me massage yet i give many people massage. I want a massage.

Anyway, i'm really tired from clearing the snow. Doing it the whole day. And the forecast say that the snow weather will get worse. It means more clearing to do. Pray for my back and the weather to go bad. Pray for sun to come and melt away the snow.

Alright, nighty night.

Hula,

Seven Hundred Seventy Seven

Hi Ho World,

Tuesday. It was uneventful day for me. I mostly stay at home while my friend goes to work. I was left alone in the house. I could follow him to work and stay in the prayer room. But i wanted time by myself to think and plan and discover more of me and God.

I wake up late. No one was home. I had to cook something to eat. Well just cook instant noodles that's what i did.

This is my 777 post for this blog. I'm well please that i have been faithful to this blog. I think this blog has change over the past years as it become more of a daily post about my day.

Looking back at my older post. i cried. i laughed. i raged. to the things i wrote about events i went through. i guess i have grown more mature in myself. But i feel i'm not strong in my spiritual yet.

Anyway, thank you people for reading my blog or following this blog. I'll try to continue to write till i pass away. If is possible i want to continue writing went i'm in heaven too. =) Alright i better get some rest. Nighty night.

Monday Morning Rain is Falling...

Hey,

First Monday of the year. I'm just filling in awe. Things are going well. School is going to start next next week. This semester i'm planing to have fun. Workout more and try my best to make friends with the Americans. Tough people to make friends with...

Anyway, i took some pictures of my friend's place. i took downstairs only. He didn't want me to take pictures of all over the house as it might a track bad company.

I mostly took pictures of the kitchen...

This is the kitchen. Quite big.

next to the kitchen is the dining room.

Study room

basement. To be secure when there is a tornado coming.



the whole i was out with my friend. I went out with him to church to hear him preach. There was a leaders summit in their church. I wanted to hear him speak. He speak on the time that Christians are slowly disappearing because new culture and new believes. It was quite a profound message. Powerful one that hit the hearts of the leaders in the meeting. It was shocking.

After the meeting. I went to eat McDonalds by myself. My friend was fasting. The McDonalds here is totally different. Is cheap. And fast. And taste different.

I order a double cheese and McChicken for 6 dollars. Which i guess is about 20 RM by now. That's expensive. Well double cheese was 1 dollar and McChicken meal was 4 with tax is about 75 cents. So it comes down to 6 dollars. Well if i'm a American it would be cheap. But a foreigner is expensive.
I have been praying very hard that the exchange rate would drop more. Evil prayer.

Later, i went with my friend for a hospital visit. The hospitals here is so strict. Before you can visit a patient you have to check-in with security. You have to bring an ID and so on. Why they do this here? Because of divorce. Parents that are divorce and have kids will have custody over who get the kids. So if they don't have security checks, the parent with no custody over the kid might one to kidnap. Of course there is other issues too for the security but the divorce is mostly the main reason.

America is one complicated country, with complicated systems, yet they are the most influence nation to the world.

After the visit, we went shopping for food to buy back to cook. We went to a korean store. In the store i found milo. OMG. It was worth buying it. It was quite expensive. For one tin of 500 grams is 5 dollars. And 1.5 kg is 14.99. And we found a 24 packet milo for 20 dollars. It expensive but he wanted to spent on me. So he got me one tin and the packet of milo. Oh is worth drinking it again. The taste was just right.

Here is a picture for prove...

It cost total for 24 tins is 20 dollars

close up

Vitamin B.

i'm really tired and just workout by today. Winter can really take a toll on your body. Making you feel tired and eat a lot. Anyway, i want to sleep now till then nighty night.

Snow,
