THANK YOU LORD!

Read...

No words can describe how i feel tonight. It was a good night and i am so thankful to the Lord.

Tonight, at the church in Brodhead, the Childrens ministry was having some sort of activity going on and i was asked to share about the differences here and in HK, in terms of being free to worship. Cuz their theme is being thankful they live in the US because they are free to believe in God and they don't have to be hiding it or something. I was just so blessed to be given this opportunity.

Anyways, i was asked to share to them. The childrens ministry is big. It was divided into 2 groups one was for ages 5-7 and the next was from 8-11. I told them they should be thankful and how different it is in other countries. I encouraged them to be more passionate about God and now is the best time, while you are young. i was so encouraged to share with them. I was a little nervous because i haven't been able to stand up before children and actually share with them...(i mean i remember reading books to the kids back in HK but not really share) gets? It was such a good night. It was also a chance to testify on the Lords goodness.

They asked me to sing too! hehe. they asked me to sing a tagalog song. So i sang the verse and chorus of itataas ko ang dakilang ngalan mo. Later they asked me to sing an eng song and i sang so close. and finally a mix of both. i sang the song tita gapei composed and translated the chorus . It was also a good chance to tell them how great God is moving among the Youth. Afterwards 2 girls came up to me and asked for my autograph! hehe. It was cute. I was also able to make lots of friends.

Many were encouraged, and i believe it was the Lord's victory. What made the night even better was that a lady came up to me and said that some of these children come from families who don't even go to church and it was really good for them to come and actually listen and know about God. I thank the Lord talaga for this opportunity. All the praises, glory, honour, adoration to The Lord, who makes all things new!

i thought i'd put a pic.

(L-R) Me, Breana, Cassie, Stephanie and i don't know her name.

haha. What so you think? my hair is so black. btw, it was taken for the paper. we were interviewed. So ya.

Its gonna be dec.1 tomorrow. wow. time is fast. i will be 17 soon... my first birthday without my mommy or daddy. haaay... Ok i am sleepy now. Goodnight!

GOD BLESS!

Hi. i thought i'd blog, but no pics this time...sorry. :)

God has been so good. Really. Its amazing. I don't know how to describe or to put in words what i feel right now.

Have you ever come to a point when you just asking silly questions which you know deep within you the answer? Its like whenever i ask myself these questions and bring them to God, i find myself just complaining with no good excuse. its like God always has an answer which just leaves me speechless. It is then i realize how important prayer, reading the bible or just calling upon His name. Sometimes i feel...alone. Just please keep praying for me.

we went down to Quincy IL to see Paul's grandma. She is a very nice lady. We went to her church on sunday and the pastor was really encouraging. You can see that he is really on fire. There was a lady who offered 2 songs and i could just see the life of the Lord shine through her. What she said was so powerful, too. she said "God didn't fail me,and He won't fail you either."

By the way, Sarah recommended this song, its called "Someday" by LaRue. Its about waiting for God's best.

Someday

I don't know if you're near or far away
But I know that I'm thinking of you today
I don't know if I even know your name
But I know that I'm praying for you just the same

Someday we'll fall in love
You'll be mine and I will be yours
Our hearts will be one
And our love will ever endure

CHORUS
Then I'll need you, and I'll want you
And I'll find you someday
Then I'll love you, then I'll hold you
And I'll be with you always

Our love will be so strong and pure
You will make me feel like I have never felt before
You will be perfect only for me
You will make these eyes begin to see

Someday we'll fall in love
You'll be mine and I will be yours
Our hearts will be one
And our love will ever endure

CHORUS

Your faith for the Lord will be strong
Even though I know the wait is long
And though I'm young I still believe
That you're out there praying for me

Well, thats all for now... there's music ministry practice tonight. I can't wait. Its another opportunity. :)

GOD BLESS!

tita gapei: We just gotta talk!!!! sorry we couldn't do so these past few days... we'll schedule it, ok? and we will have lots of laughs and giggles. mwa mwa!

NEW LAYOUT!!! THANKS TITA KAMOL! While i was uploading the pics she was working on it at the same time! galing noh?! hehe.

hi ulit. i just felt like updating. i was sentimental in my last blog, but i think i'm ok now. i finally had a long chat with cams... how i mish u! she just cracks me up, and its so natural for her...or either i'm just easily-amused.

speaking of being easily amused (mababaw ang kaligayahan ko, or sth,correct me if i'm wrong.) it actually SNOWED yesterday. Well it wasn't a heavy snowfall, but it snowed small flakes. i woke up that morning and looked out my window to see bits of snow. So i got up and walked out to the living room. Out the patio door i saw snow on the ground. i was tempted to go out and touch it, but when i opened the door, it was sooooooooo cold. not only that, it was windy too. so i thought, nevermind, i can wait. So i closed the door and decided to eat breakfast.

I can't wait for more snow! haha. I was so amused with everything i saw. Like a child. haha.

Here are some pics.

 Ya... c'est belle. beautiful fall colors. Fall is a really pretty season.

 Fall, Fall, Fall.

 We raked leaves in Jodi's grandma's house. the pile was huge!!! it was fun jumping in the leaves. (L-R) Nathan, Me, Josiah and Sara.

 (L-R) Jodi's mom, Josiah, me n Sara

Oh well, it is pretty ovbious i had fun.

 I went on a hay ride one night and it was great. Very cold, but it was great. The sky was clear and there were lots of stars. Grabe. Here is a pic with Abbie Smith.

 Haylie and Abbie

 This was the day before the hayride at church. This is me with Miriam. She's a missionary from Japan. She is so cool! She's in St. Louis now finishing her degree. I miss her, she was really nice.

 Me and Sara. She's a sweetie.

 Something to look at everyday of the people i love and care for soooo much.

 I was in a musical. Seussical Musical. I was a bird girl. had to wear lots of make up. It was fun (the musical i mean).

 Old-Old pic. Homecoming dance. Me, Chris (Homecoming King.oh yeah) and Tory.

Ok. I think thats all for now.

Goodnight. I have to work on my chromosones.

GOD BLESS!

Hi everyone! well...several things happend, first of, i just want to thank the Lord for what He has done in my life. My grades are great. and i actually made the honor roll! In my first quarter grades, i got 3 As, 2 Bs and a C+ which is in Adv.bio. My GPA is 3.39 (on a 4.0 scale). I still don't get the grading system here, but its ok. I got a B in my trigonometry, which is so weird. Everyone who knows knows me well surely knows that i don't get good grades in math. 

Last saturday, Paul and Jodi took me to the Christian bookstore in Janesville. It was awesome. I bought a shirt and 2 posters. One says "Our God is an awesome God" and the other is quoted from 1 Peter 3:3-4. "Beauty should not come from outward adornment, instead it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight."  

*sigh* I miss Hong Kong. I miss everyone. *sigh* When i read the comments from tita gapei and tita kamol, suddenly i felt well, not really homesick, but this overwhelming feeling of missing them soooo much. well, not just them, but my whole family. ate lei, tita gapei, tita kamol.... i miss you girls soooooooooooooo much. You're like my family. *sigh* i miss you. We are all so far away from eachother, sometimes i can't believe it.

I just wanna blog about you guys tonight. Before everyone else who means soooooooooo much to me as well came, it was us 4. We are like the base, kaya pag may B.S. wen its just us we say "well, back to the base" well something like that.  You girls mean alot to me, and i am so thankful to the Lord that He has not only given me friends, instead sisters, who know me and know just the right words to cheer me up. We grew up together spiritually, we've seen eachother fall and how the Lord has lifted us up again. We are more than just friends. we are like sisters. Different yet alike.

these are old pics.

Missing you girls,like,so much. As in. grabe.
