thank you God!!!

First) Brothers appreciation day was today. we planned out a little kids party for them. we had sliders, mac and cheese, chicken and apple juice box :D then we had lil kids worship and then we had games which was hilarious!!! we had 4 legged race, then they had to spin on a tennis raquet or bat and then do leap frog over each other, finallly they had to run over, grab an orange and then pass the orange by their necks! then we had mud cups and then we when to punch our pinatas!!!! i am thankful that i am able to have such a wonderful AACF family . we study together, we chill at 2am together, we share our burdens and praises. i cannot ask for any thing more. brothers, thank you so much for making me laugh all the time!!!!

Second) On saturday night, my mommie took me to this giant canto christian event in pasadena. there were ~2000 cantonese speakers worshiping God in the same room, we were all praising Him in unity. We worshiped our Lord for more than an hour! i was absorbed by the songs that i started to cry. Our Lord is so amazing, there are no words to describe it. Then this young boy at the age of 15 came onto the stage to give his testimony. He used to be studious, until he started to hang out with the wrong group of friends. he began to smoke, then got into a gang, and then started doing drugs. in order to get the money to buy the drugs, he stole his mothers wedding ring to sell, he stole anything in his house that was worth something. he finally got arrested and finally ended up in prison for 2 weeks. he was sent to zheng sheng school where they teach and house teen druggies. he later became a christian and now gives testimonies and is very devoted to God.. I was really touched by his testimony. there were around 14 kids who had many criminal records, and they all became christians. God is so forgiving and i realized i am not less of those kids, i am a sinner and God forgave me no matter what. I want to just praise Him every day for His unchanging love.

Unchanging Love

lately, i finally realized that God is always there by my side, through my ups and downs. A few months ago, i was spiritually dry and i knew God existed but my relationship with Him was really distant. after months of darkness, i finally realized that sometimes friends may come and go, but God is always with you. no matter what he is always by your side, holding your hand and walking with you step by step. Even when the world abandons you, God will never.

"In your unfailing love you will lead the people you have redeemed. In your strength, you will guide them to your holy dwelling." - Exodus 15:13
