On a night like this

Yesterday night was a night to remember for me. On a night like that, i wont ever forget. I went to Kimmys church and had an amazing time, and after i got to talk with her heart to heart. It was so emotional! I'm glad i went....I got to spend time with the two people i care about the most. Jesus and Kimmy.

I have been listening to this song a lot. I wanna learn it! its called on a night like this...it brings back good memories. Listen to the song and read along...or sing a long! :D

"On a night like this, I could fall in love
I could fall in love with you
In this dark so dense, we talk so soft
the way young lovers do

The day's last sight turns to cool night's breeze
And this love hangs thick like these willow leaves
I've hid myself away from this
but your silhouette is a Judas kiss

On a night like this, the moon sits still
And the stars are watching too
The way you move is a lullaby
I could fall in love with you

The day's last sight turns to cool night's breeze
And this love hangs thick like these willow leaves
I've hid myself away from this
but your silhouette is a Judas kiss

On a night like this, I could fall in love
I could fall in love with you"

"10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me "

missing you every second that you are not with me

Have you ever missed something so much that you wanna kill yourself until you get it back? well I havent. HAHA why? cuz im already dead! I killed myself a long time ago. I killed that old piece of me who was grumpy and angry and just didnt want anything particular in life. Thanks to this girl that i met...shes opened my eyes to something important, and its God. God really does love me so much and kimmy is helping me with that. God misses me every second I am not with him just how I miss kimmy every second i am not with her. She reminds me to make sure i spend more time with God then i do with her. And thats important. I miss her every second i am not with her and i hope she feels the same. And i hope she sees that God feels the same way about her too! :D

"Song of Solomon 8:7
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.

John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."

GOOD DAY

DOODE. I had a great day today. I woke up at 3AM to finish some homework and to go get the roses for a special someone from a friend's house. He brought a duffle bag to carry them but the roses didnt fit!!! Luckily enuff, by the grace of God, a friend asked to borrow my ukelele for a little while so i brought it as well. AND GUESS WHAT!?

THE ROSES FIT PERFECTLY INTO THE CASE!! HAHAHA i was so happy. It went welll!!! Then after that the day was pretty normal. I wasnt nervous at allllll...until 5th period. I was shaking HAHA.

In the end it all went rly well. I hope that she liked it! AFter skool we went to go eat PHO. and on the way i talked to a friend who is stuggling with some stuff...hes a great friend. I wish i could be there for him more often though. After we talked i went to eat with kimmy. And i felt so comfortable eating around her! HAHA it was nice to be able to eat with her and not have to worry about how i ate.
After taht...i got rly upset...and i dont know why! HAHA but im okay now. I guess i was thinking too much. BUT SHE IS SO UNDERSTANDING. I feel like i rly can tell her anything....

We danced in the center of the rally court as a mini junior prom, i hope ppl got the message. No matter how many things and plans go wrong, you gotta remember that God has a greater plan. I made so many different plans....but they didnt work. It turns out God already had a plan in store. So no matter waht happens... dont give up :D

"This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

too fast

Yesterday was the greatest day ever. I couldnt keep my eyes off her. The way her eyes were looking into mine made me feel so good. I miss it so much. I spent the ride home driving too fast...She was gone too fast...I miss her already.

DOODE! I'm feeling good! even though im sick!

Yesterday was a really hot day. I wore shorts for the first time in a long time...and it felt good! School was pretty interesting. I helped my three best friends ask two girls to junior prom in the same week. It was a lot of fun. I sang and beatbox for two of them and beatboxed only for the other.

I recovered a lot from my sickness yesterday! But when i woke up today i felt terrible. I felt like i got sick all over again. I was coughing sooo hard. I was supposed to beatbox at a alumni festival for 600 ppl!!! But im sick...so i told my friend to tell his dad that i cant do it anymore. I cant beatbox without choking and coughing....NOOOOooo.

Yesterday after school i hung out with a friend and took my lil bro home and went to my house to go pick up my SAT books. She seemed to not be bothered by how bad my house was. My house is so old and disgusting. It a combination of a lot of ppl in one house and no one wanting to clean. HAHAHA but thats how my life has been my whole life. I always try to clean...but it just gets messy again. It usually ends up worse then before. I lost a couple friends in middle school cuz my house was so gross. I was hurt and scarred from taht. Now im super conscious about it when ppl visit my house. And when ppl actually dont react and are okay with it...it makes me feel good! HAHA i consider those who dont have a problem with my house as a good friend! Cuz i feel bad taht tehy have to see my house teh way it is. I wanna make my house better for my whole family.

After we went to my house i went to my friends house. And on the way we ate some really spicy chicken!!! it was so spicy....I began crying but i held it back cuz i didnt want my friend to seeeee. It was really spicy. My friends house is small but its nice. Its much cleaner than my house and it has a homey feeling that i really like. I never realized how cool her sister was untill yesterday. SHe tucks in her stuffed hello kitty in every day! HAHAH thats sooo cooool. After that we hung out for a little bit longer. Then i had to go to SAT class but i didnt want to!! i wanted to hang out with my friend and her sister!!!! But i had to go to SAt clas.. at SAT class i learned a lot! it was a lot of fun. I came a little late though. Throughout the whole class i had a rly bad stomach ache though...i think it was from all that spicy chicken and water and milk and honey. I went to teh bathroom three times during the class...After that i rushed home to go to the bathroom again and wanted to go on the computer but my bro was using it. Than my older bro put on a movie for me...then i fell asleep. I cant watch movies at night! i jsut fall asleep. AHHHHHhhh i wanted to go online to talk to someone and get a song that my friend was gonna send me. BUt i fell asleep.... I have been put into some pretty tough circumstances this week but i always end up okay. God is taking care of me, so i dont need to worry.

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. (Philip 4.12-13)"

Life is like a sour patch kid

Life is like a sour patch kid....first its sour, then its sweet.

Ever since the end of winter break....life hasnt been too good. BUt then on sunday all of that changed. A stranger visited my church via an old church member's recommendation. This guy was praying for people and healing ppl by the power of God. I grew an inch cuz he prayed for me! HAHA everyone was growing taller as he prayed for us...!!! IT was crazy. It really lifted my spirit and increased my faith. Its true when God said he would always be with us. I love sundays....they make life so sweet. The guy's name was...i forgot...but he prayed for our friend steven whos leg was hurting from surgery and then he took off his crutches and he could walk! it was a miracle! I think God didnt only heal steven...he also healed me. Even though im still sick, my spirit feels stronger and better than ever. God healed my spirit and i feel so much better now. i know by tomorrow im gonna be a lot better, i feel it...and most of all i have faith! haha my faith has been restored and is making life sweet again.

I also have another person in my life who is making life sweet. And when ever life feels sour, she always gives me a little sugar to make me feel better. HAHA she makes life a little bit more bareable but i know my life will never be prefect without God and he truly is the only one that can help me get better spriritually and physically.

"Matthew 10:1-8
And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits , to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Now the names of the twelve apostle s are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demon s. Freely you have received, freely give."

God does exist!

I havent wrote a blog in a while but i was taking a shower today and while i was doing it, i had an epiphany! HAHA I was thinking about things i could invent when i grow up and stuff. And i realized God invented me! God is more than just a father, he is an inventor! And a creator! He created all of us!!

If you made something, jsut anything....and you gave that something feelings...wouldnt you want it to love you. For example, if you made a pot in ceramics class, and you put all your heart and mind to it. And you spent hours trying to make it perfect. Then after you were done it said it hated you and then it jumpls off a building and shatters itself. You would be SAD! right? If you made something or created something, you would want it to love you! If you have a child, you would want him or her to love you right? We are God's creations! he wants us to love him!! He loves us sooo much. He's put all his effort to make us perfect! No matter how many times that pot jumps off that building i will always come back to glue it back together. No matter how many times he jumps off, i will always be there for it to fix it. No matter how many cracks and chips it has from being damaged, I will still believe its perfect. Why? Bcause i made it! I put all my effort into it! Im not gonns just throw it away! Its like an old drawing you made when you were a kid and you find it one day. You arent gonna just throw it away! God isnt gonna throw you away!

No matter now many mistakes you make, God will always love you. He doesnt care about those cracks and chips! He MADE YOU! An you are perfectly and wonderfully made. God loves you, and dont forget that.

God is the potter and we are the clay. He has moulded us and made us into a masterpiece! you are a masterpiece!

Just look around! Everything has a creator! Tv's have a creator, Computers have a creator, tables, pencils, cups, pots, houses, cities, and everything! All of it started and all of it was created by SOMEONE! things dont appear magically by itself and by chance! A tree cant just pop out of no where! Neither can a bird, cow, bear,or a man or any living thing! God commanded and created man and the Earth! it didnt appear by itself! The Tv didnt just pop out of thin air! it took time for the inventor to think about every little thing and create the TV. Everything has a creator. God is your creator. Nothing pops out on its own. We all create things everyday! we are made in God's image, and he is a creator! WE are all creators! we all create things. we create art, music, voice, speeches, and everything that inspires us. We create things based upon who we are, in truth, in everything we make...its based off our own image. When you write a song its based on your feelings and who you are.

In everything you see in nature, you see God. What is made by God is good. People are made by God, therefore there is no such thing as a bad person. People just make bad decisions. Always love people, for they are good. Love what is good, do not love evil.

"Psalm 24:1‑2
The earth is the LORD's and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Hebrews 11:3
By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Isaiah 44:24
This is what the LORD says‑your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself."

Kimmy Evie Lin

OKAY! Its about time everyone knew! I got a girlfriend! And her name is Kimmy Evie Lin.I know this sounds harsh but i dont intend it to! She may not be drop dead gorgeous physically to some, but personality wise she is. But to me she is drop dead gorgeous in ever way. She is so pretty!!! i woke up at 3AM to do my hmwk and i finished but i cant stop thinking about her which has led to this blog. I just gotta let everyone know about this girl and how great she is! I wanna tell the whole world! I'm so proud of her! AHHh she is too good for me! Shes too gooooooooooooooooood. too good to be true. BUT she is true!

Kimmy Evie Lin is the most amazing person you will ever meet! Shes got such a great personality and is so caring and loving. When ever i see her i just cant help but feel like im the luckiest man alive. I am not a man who cares about physical looks but am a man who cares greatly about appearance and how you present yourself as a person. And kimmy does exactly that. She doesnt care what others think about her and she is super outgoing! YOU DONT MEET PEOPLE LIKE THAT ANYMORE. For me, personality is the most important thing in the world, and kimmy has it. When i see her, i know i truly got something special. She deserves so much more then what i have to offer her and i cant believe she even likes a guy like me. But she does! and for that I'm thankful for. God has blessed me greatly and am indebted to him for that. She has such a great and sincere love for God! WHICH MAKES me fall for her soo hard. Awww man....doode. its pretty intense. Kimmy is such an intense girl. She always seems to think outside of the box, and no one knows what she is thinking sometimes but its so interesting just to try to figure out what she is thinking about. SHe has such a great curiosity and interest for things and gives it her all when she does things. She goes all out for other people and does her best to help and care for others. She makes good people look bad! Thats how good she is! AND she is never SAD! She always looks for the best in things and is always so happy! And she makes me so happy all the time!

I love God so much. What he has done for me is indescribable. i dont deserve what he has given to me, but i am grateful for it. He has blessed me with Kimmy, and that is truly a GREAT blessing. I only pray that we can be a blessing for others together.

She is so mysterious and strange at the same time. She keeps you on your toes with everything and i would die if i ever hurt her. I would do anything for her and i would hate myself forever if i ever hurt her. She is teaching me so many things and supports me so much. I hope i can help her and return the favor. She deserves so much more than that! I wish i could do more, and i will do my best to be a great boyfriend.

People dont often know what to call happiness. Happiness has many different names to many different people, and for me Kimmy Evie Lin is the name of my happiness. Our four great foundung fathers once wrote that every American has the right to freedom, peace, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And the pursuit of happiness is exactly what i intend to do. I'm gonna pursue what makes me happy, and that is God, family, AND Kimmy Evie Lin.


" 16 Be joyful always;17 pray continually;18 give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." - 1 Thessolonians 5:16-18

THANK YOU JESUS!

And it feels amazing! today after school i talked to a creeper ;] , and i told her everything i have been feeling lately. And its really helped me clear things up. And to get that huge burden off of my shoulders felt great. We jsut talked and it was truly a special moment. I wont forget it! HAHA it was a GREAT day....I cant wait to see her again tomorrrooooow. She told me so many things and all the stress and problems i have been dealing with lately just melted away all thanks to her! THANK YOU!!! I FEEEL SOOOO GOOD! HAHA talking is good! Talking lets you say things you truly feel and allows you to use words to describe who you are. Words are so powerful and the smallest words you say can change the world. To be able to speak and use words is truly great blessing. I feel so good that i can talk to her so comfortably! I am very happy!

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. "-Proverbs 18:21

Michelle

Today i had a good day. I like wednesday cuz i only have two classes and one of them is choir! I love choir. It my favorite class of my day hands down. After school i hung out with a special someone...and i didnt want her to goooo hoooommmmmeee....but she did...i didnt want her to get in trouble! I cant wait till tomorrow to see her again though. hahaha. Anyways, after school and after i took that special someone home, i went to starbucks to get a drink. My sister michelle ended up calling me! I changed my relatiionship status from single to in a relationship yesterday.... and i think she saw it today. SOOOOOOooooooo she called me. I called her back later cuz i was driving but when i called her back, i could already feel her anger. HAHAHA i talked to her for like 10 minutes. BUt it was a good talk, we caught up on life and stuff cuz i havent seen her in a while. She said if i ever kissed the girl she would chop off my lips...and if i touched her inappropriately she would chop of my hands...she said she would chop off other things too but im not gonna mention them.

ANYWAYS, she always talks like that.I love michelle. Shes a great older sister. When it comes to being an older sibling, shes my role model. She genuinely cares about her younger siblings including me! So im glad she called. We worked everything out, and she seems to be cool with everything now and is willing to give that special someone a second chance. She judges people pretty fast sometimes and she has a hard time forgiving people but shes learning and getting better at it everyday. I love michelle so much! I hope you will get to be good friends with her one day! shes an awesome sister, person, and everything! hahaha....i miss her. COME BACK HOME SOON MICHELLE! I MISS ALL THE LAUGHS AND FIGHTS WE USED TO HAVEEEEEE!!! HAVE FUN IN COLLEGE!!!

Luke 6:35-38;42
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." ... How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Making some lemonade :)

Today, i woke up to my lil bro! he woke me up today for the first time ever! I usually wake up at 5am to bring him to skool, but today i woke up really late and he woke me up instead. It was a nice change for once...But after that he got kind of mad at me and threw a couple of lemons at me with his angry look and impatient body language. I was really sad cuz he was so upset....i dont like it when my little brother is upset. My two younger brothers make me so happy! But when they are sad i feel ten fold of their sadness. I wish they knew how bad i feel when i see them sad. All i wanna be is a good older brother! And i know i often fall short of that...but im still gonna keep trying! If youa re a younger sibling....i just wanna let you know...that we elder siblings really care about you! even if we do fight with you and get mad. And fellow elder siblings, i know it gets hard when trying to get a younger sibling to listen to you but its okay. You just gotta make some lemonade. The thing is, I hate looking at myself in the mirror cuz i feel like i cant be a good brother but i want to be soo much. They are the world to me! I wanna be A GREAT older brother! In the end, despite all the fights and yelling and all the pain and all the LEMONS that we pick up a long the way and chuck at each other, it all leads to something. In the end, life is all about making a little lemonade. Ultimately we all got our own lemonade stands trying to make the best of what we got to earn some money with that lemonade.

To make that lemonade and to sell it at our own little lemonade stand takes some steps though. THeres a really simple but pretty hard recipe to follow, and if you like cooking or baking then im sure this will be easier to understand...and if you dont...then i dont know..haha listen anyways.

The first step is to get some lemons...and thats the easy part! lemons are just around the corner and they get thrown at you everyday by a bully or and angry parent....or a really mean teacher. All these sour, sad, angry, and unhappy moments are thrown at you from all directions. The point is, you have more lemons then you can handle on a daily basis....but hey, that means more lemonade and more money for you! The next step is making all that sour lemon a little less sour.

The second step is to get some water. With all that sour lemon juice, it makes it kind of hard to swallow and enjoy. BUt with some water, it helps dilute it and make it a little more bearble. Water represents time, with a little time....that lemon doesnt seem too sour anymore. That sad moment is in the past now! Time made it a little better.

The last step is the most important! THe third step is to add sugar! ANd its beter to add a lot! the sweeter, the better. Everybody has got a sweet tooth! Sugar represents good thoughts and speaking good things. The things you speak and the things you think strongly reflects how you will act. think good things and speak good things and your actions and how others react to your actions will follow. People will know you by the fruit you bare. We are all like trees, some of us are lemon trees while others are peach trees....anyways...haha

As you can see... a little sugar amd some water can make some pretty good lemonade. Those lemons you gotta deal with everyday dont seem so bad! Now all you gotta do is sell your lemonade at your lemonade stand!

The lemonade stand represents the world and whether they buy or not represents whether or not they will "buy" who you are. What kind of person are you? nobody likes a sour person and everyone needs some sugar in their lives. The question is are you willing to be that cool glass of lemonade for someone who is parched by the harsh sunlight of a summer day from the constant beatings and pain and suffering and lemons they face in everyday life? ARe you gonna make some lemonade for that one person in need? You never know whos gonna need it. MAke lemonade everyday so you can share it around and make some money!

That money....it represents happiness. So set your price! how much is that glass of lemonade gonna cost? 25 cents or a dollar? Just gonna give you a reminder...money cant buy happiness but who says you cant make happiness? Go make some mulah!

MAKE SOME LEMONADE! :D

"Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. Matthew 12:33

Down but not out

I havent posted in a while. ITS ALREADY TUESDAY! This blog will cover saturday up until monday night. So on saturday, i went to this karaoke show at Homestead High. It was actually a lot more fun then i thought. Especially cuz i was with someone. It was lots of fun to watch and listen to everyone perform and even tough it got boring at the end i didnt want to leave! I wanted to find out who won! HAHA i got so into it. But im glad i went! After that i went to work! Then i bought a fish, which is kinda random but i bought the fish so it could clean up the the fish tank at my dads office. Its a special fish! it eats the poop of the other fish and keeps the tank clean! After that i went to Fry's with my dad. We walked around for about two hours, and all teh salespeolpe kept getting angry at my dad cuz he asks so many questions...hahaha my dad is funny. After taht we went to eat! We went to eat at dennys and he talked to me about life and stuff for another two hours. I got home pretty late and went to bed after going on aim.

SUNDAY: on Sunday...i woke up early to go to Jubilee Christian Center which is a church in San Jose. Its the biggest church in the Bay Area and i go there every sunday with my family. They had a great message. The message was on God's grace. Anyway, on the way back to the car...my bro told me that he didnt wanna preach at my dads church anymore for that day! I was so mad! He always jsut says right out of the blue, "I'm not preaching today!" Then he asks my mom to do it! I never understand why he does that! He has to ask me not my mom. My mom is already taking care of the adults. The youth is our responsibility and that responsibility belongs to us and no one else. Its wrong to jsut dump the responsibility on someone else out of the blue. He said he was gonna preach on Sunday, but he decided to change his mind. I told him i would preach cuz i didnt want my mom to do it and its cuz i felt like it was my duty to do it. I started preparing my sermon around 12PM and finished at 2:45PM and then went and got a haircut. The haircut took like ten minutes. After that...i went and preached for the youth. I preached the worse sermon know to mankind....I dont even wanna talk about it. It was so bad...I hope God forgives me. I did a terrible job. If theres one thing on this Earth that i want, it is to please God. And i dont think i pleased him....I did a bad job :(

I felt terrible...it was if a giant goliath appeared before me....I didnt know what to do.

Right after that, i went home rly early from church. I was having a really bad headache and stomach ache! And i couldnt stop shivering. I got home, and got onto AIM and someone comforted me with their words. I went to be after that but couldnt sleep cuz my body hurt too much. It was if my spirit and my body were physically conflicting with each other in response to the terrible sermon i preached...In the end i was okay. Before i knew it...it was MONDAY. Monday, i felt a lot better but i couldnt get outta bed. I felt so weak and i was in pain. I layed in my bed for about an hour longer and i was okay again. I did some hmwk and sang and watched TV. Nothing to exciting...but monday was still a good day.

OH YEA! on sunday, a rly close friend of mine had something terrible happen to her mother! Her mother was sent to the hospital for some reason. I was so worried for her and her mom! I was praying and praying right after she told me. When i was getting a haircut iw as praying for her mom too. Then when i opened my eyes, i loked in the mirror, and i had a terrible haricut! LOL it made me laugh and on the way home i kept praying.And after church, when i got home, my friend told me her mom was fine. AND i was happy! haha but i still felt down from the sermon i preached and my bad haircut didnt help...and neither did my stomach ache, head ache, or fever. BUt its not the end. I got my whole life in front of me. And i know God has already forgiven me...i just dont know if i can forgive myself. But despite all that, I may not have much but I got GOd and thats all i need!I will always have faith in my heavenly father! And i believe he will help me through ALL things no matter how hard it gets! I may only have a sling and a stone but i can still take down the giants and obstacles in my life! I may feel terrible and feel down but i aint out! Im just about ready to get back in the game. God is gonna help me no matter what, even if i did let him down. Im ready to take on anything!GOLIATH HERE I COME! :D

44 And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.....49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
-1 Samuel 17: 44-45 and 49-50

And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.”

—Mark 11:22-26
