| by God's grace the event was very successful, we made some technical mistakes but hardly anyone noticed and everyone was hooked to the songs... haha
it was really interesting timing that I was beginning to lose my voice at about the same time the concert started... I couldn't sing harmony at all... but again, by God's grace, when it was my turn to solo some parts the voice came out and some feedback even said better than my regular voice... haha
so tired.... i think i'm dropping dead... I think I'll have to skip tomorrow's church picnic.... hopefully i can recover enough to lead worship on Sunday...

| having a big cold... i think i'm running a fever too
I hope I can have enough voice left for tonight's music sharing night
maybe this is God's way of telling me to rely more on him not on my own abilities.

| I thought she was close... well, I guess the reality is, not at all
maybe Paul Washer is really right... we all hated God until we truly repented and acknowledge that Jesus is our only Lord and Savior....
she reads Bible, but only as fictional stories... she watches certain Christian TV show, but only because the pastor doesn't usually talk about Jesus but how to live a better life...
she really really doesn't want to go to the music sharing night, even after I told her I would be willing to skip rehearsal and drive her myself. She just jumped from one excuse onto another, to the point I got really not only frustrated, but heartbroken, The reality is she still hates God. She hates God to the point that she rather not doing things she usually loves to do, such as spending time with her son, and watches him in concert...
Of course, I won't give up, because to God everything is possible. I'll just have to continue to my part and trust the results to Him.

| long time not posting here... really have been overwhelmed with work and special event in our church... next Friday we would have have a special music sharing night featuring many of the earlier popular songs from Hong Kong as well as Christian songs, along with some special messages in between and some funny stuff. I believe it's the first time our church ever tries something like this and I pray God would use the messages to speak to everyone who come, believers or non-believers...
continue praying for my mom, she hasn't been working for months now, and now she seems to be too "happy" to stay at home all by herself. She doesn't like to go out anymore, not just church, but pretty much anywhere. I don't know what's wrong, or if she's mad at me for anything. I really wanted her to go to the music event this Friday, and at first she seemed she was going to go... but when she realized that I might need to go first (to prepare), she immediately refused to have anyone else to pick her up and told me she never wanted to go all along. It's really frustrating she suddenly acts like this all the time, as if she's afraid to talk with anyone. She was never like that. I pray that God gives me enough wisdom, patience, and love to understand and care for her. I might have to skip my last rehearsal and drive her to the event myself if I have to.
I used to be a very anti-social person myself as well, even when I was in high school. But I thank God because He changed me once I get to know Him. Actually, I am still an anti-social person and I still don't have much confidence of myself, but I thank God because it's no longer about myself but allowing Him to manifest Himself through me, and doing His wills... I've been doing a terrible job at that, but I thank Him because He kept on changing me and never gave me up. I pray that my mom can one day really personally encounter this awesome God of ours as well...

| game winning shot
I always wondered what it feels like to hit a game winning shot in a basketball game... well, it happened tonight as I stole the ball and pulled up and hit a contested 19 footer as time expired... it was quite exciting as brothers and sisters come and gave me high fives...
Reminds me of a few days ago, when the Boston Celtics beat the LA Lakers to win the NBA Finals, and I was able to see Celtics players like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce being so emotional during interviews... I couldn't help, but had this question float in my head:
then what...?
For many of the Celtics stars, it was a dream come true as they played in the NBA so many years hoping for a Ring... and to a lesser extend, I always wanted to hit a game winning shot. Now those goals are achieved, what should be the next goal...? and what happens when those goals are met too..?
The Bible repeatedly teaches us that the main goal for us Christians should be conforming and be more and more like Christ every day at all times. Come to think of it, it really makes sense, because that's one goal that would never be completely met, since Christ is infinite and we are all finite. However, even though we would never meet the goal, we would still get the satisfaction when we get to know God a bit more and be a step closer to His glorious presence! Really, when we place other goals ahead of this, it would always eventually lead to disappointments and deadends. I am not just referring to worldly goals like getting a great house or being famous, even our so called Christian goals or "visions" can sometime subconsciously take place of our main focus. We tend to spend more prayers and put a lot more efforts asking God to give us strength and wisdom when we are preparing for a ministry, a sermon, or serving in church, or doing something, but not nearly as much when we are not doing anything. We need to be spending more time seeking Him and asking Him to reveal more to us at all times so we can know Him more and be closer to Him. And yes, when we are abiding in Him like the way branches suppose to be, everything else, including our "real life", our ministry, our relationships, etc, would fall in place.
