Savanna

Well, this week is the GA Hmong New Years, which I will be missing because the family is heading up to Savanna for Ben's Campus Preview School. :)
I'm going to miss Yor them playing in the tournament but hopefully someone will video record the playoffs.
All in all, have fun and be safe everyone.

God is the source of all living things

"...that there are many truths, and they all point to one source - God. Do not spend energy arguing whose truth is righter, - just like all life springs forth from one source, so are all truths but a reflection of God. Accept another truth as another way of loving God."

Recently, I've been having so much conversations and debate about the Bible, faith, love, and possibly everything that there must be to know about God.  All these debate just brought bitterness and anger toward myself and others involve in this. THAT IS NOT A GOOD THING AT ALL!  I ask God to reveal His righteous ways and continue to pray and just diligently seek Him for His answers because God is righteous and just and perfect.

Even though I became bitter and angry, in the end, its all about God. If what the other party says brings Glory to God and is the truth from God, then let it be a reflection of God and how great and marvelous He is.

I stand firm in what I believe and what I do believe is that Jesus Christ died for our sins. There is no other ticket to Heaven but through our Lord Jesus Christ because He is the ONLY way, truth, and life to come to the Father (John 14:6).

Trust Truth

So much things has happened over the weekend that just really tested my faith and where I stand with God. There are different beliefs among us about how we perceive the Bible and how it is correctly interperated. How do we know what is the truth and what is not when both party have good strong points from the Bible?

This week opened up my eyes and my heart to me and Yor's belief. We both stand firm in our belief, and in a way it is very different. Whenever we both talk about God, we somehow always mostly end up debating about it with each other. I always feel so angry and bitter towards him when this happens. What am I to do?

I can only pray and put my trust in the Lord to lead me in His rightous ways. Please, if you're reading this, pray for me and Yor.

"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10   

Seaven Heaven.

Haha. Just thought I share a bit of me and Yor's conversation that got me crackin' up this late night.

Me: Hey, do you think you can come by seven?
Yor: Why don't you go get her?
Me: Huh?
Yor: She only lives right there.
Me: HAHAHAHA!
Yor: Wait, what?
Me: I said, do you think you come by seven?
Yor: Ohh..I thought you said for me to go get Heaven.

(Hahaha) That nutcrackers got some jackpot in his pocket. :)

4 More Minutes...

I've been keeping an entry about my exercising routine and I must say, I'm doing pretty good so far. I've worked 4 more extra minutes than I did yesterday. I've also been watching what I eat and that is hard to do when all I want to do is munch on some chocolate candies. An Apple a day is what I need. I tell myself, one pound a day is a good goal each day to lose and I'm aiming to lose at least 12 more pounds.
I've got a secret weapon to help motiviate myself and thank goodness that I do.

Well, other than my exercising entry, I'm almost done with reading Numbers. I'm on chapter 34, just two more chapters then I'm done. What I found interesting in Chapter 30 was, "If a woman living with her husband makes a vow or obligates herself by a pledge under oath and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her and does not forbid her, then all her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. But if her husband nullifies them when he hears about them, then none of the vows or pledges that came from her lips will stand. Her husband has nullified them, and the Lord will release her. Her husband may confirm or nullify any vow she makes or any sworn pledge to deny herself." This is the same way between a father and his daughter too.
I am a pretty stubborn lady when me and Yor are discussing things and I don't back down. This just opens my eyes to see how it was back in Moses' time (which still applies today) between a relationship between a man and woman, and a father and daughter. ^_^  In other words, I better watch what I say and promise to myself and more importantly be obediant.

I would like to discuss this with Yor and my dad soon. :)

Praises and Glory go to God.

A Hopeful Heart: Kim Vogel Sawyer

I'm currently reading this book. I've checked it out a few weeks ago, but never got around to reading it. Basically, the main character is twenty-two years old Tressa Neill. She applied to Wyatt Herdsman School located in Kansas. The program teaches young women from the East skills needed to become a rancher, or wife of one. Tressa is shy and small and she believes that she will never have what it takes to learn the skills needed to be a rancher's wife such as milking cows, branding a calf, riding horses, and cooking up a good meal for the hungry ranchers. But what other options does she have?
Abel Samms wants nothing to do with the group of potential brides his neighbor brought to town. He was smitten with an eastern girl once--and he got his heart broken. But there's something about quiet Tressa and her bumbling ways that makes him take notice. When Tressa's life is endangered, will Abel risk his own life--and his heart--to help this eastern girl?

I've only just started on this book today while I was in my Econ class and I must say, this book has caught my interest. Of course, the cover itself caught my attention, but Kim Sawyer is an exceptional author when it comes to tying down romance and putting your trust in God. :)

Happiness and Full

Blessed are the poor in Spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. -Matthew 5:3

Today has been a wonderful day. We finally got our carpets cleaned at work. Whew! :)  I also bought a Bible, my FIRST self-bought Bible for myself. I'm pretty excited about it. Its an NIV version. It has the "Letters to God" theme on it...The front cover is a tannish color with a black strip on the side. I love it.

Halloween was fun. I dressed up at Deborah as I said in my earlier entry. This whole time, I've been pronouncing her name as DE-BO-RAH when actually her name is suppose to be pronounced as "Debra"...ahh.  The fellowship we had was wonderful and for those who missed out on this gathering, there's always next year.

God has been amazing and blessful to me. I want to continue to seek Him and be near Him more.

Praise God.


Just a few pictures from Halloween that I took from Maria. :)
