1 John 2:3-11

Oh man. This passage...

It says love your brothers. I'm going to take that as another way of saying love your neighbors/family/everyone you know and don't know.

I'm really having a hard time loving my dad right now.. Hell, I can't even muster up 1% of care for him or how he's doing.

Love.

2 Corinthians 12:1-10

I am made strong when I am weak.

Help me to be weak, Jesus.

1 Corinthians 12:12-27

It's been awhile since I posted, particularly because i've been kind of lazy... But i have been praying alot...

I like this passage cuz it talks about us as a body.. and too frequently we have problems with each other, causing all sorts of chaos within our ministry. Thankfully, nothing of that magnitude has happened in UL, and let's keep working to keep that kind of stuff out of our family!

Today..

my breath prayer is: God, I wait for your timing.

I say this because right now, my mom and I are in the process of waiting for my dad in Korea to finish the divorce, so that I can start collecting the required papers for my green card application. However, all the papers that become translated into English have to be turned in by late April, which only gives my mom and I about a month to finish all this. The worst part is, I told my dad 2 weeks ago to finish this.

So at this point, I really have no one but God to rely on for His timing to strike. I've experienced this before when I was changing my visa status to a student, so I'm very confident that he can make this happen too.

Time to be faithful.

1 Samuel 15:10-23

Psalm 119:97-104

For today

Colossians 1:3-14

Giving thanks. FOSHO. All the time. But especially today since I'm now done with finals.. and my brain is pooped. need more sleep.

exodus 36:1-6

Honestly, I've been really bad at keeping up with the blogs this week, and I think that's moslly due to lack of discipline.. I know my weakness is exactly that, because I tend to be spontaneous and do what I feel like doing more often than doing what I should be doing...

This morning, I'm writing this post from EMP. I feel like it is a time where I reevaluate the things that are really important in my life, and what I should be doing on a daily basis. Maybe its because it's finals week, but I feel like I've been in the edge in terms of stress levels, and I'm always looking for something to do that will release that stress.. will it be better after tomorrow? We'll have to see.....

Micah 6:1-8

Verse 8 was very impactful to me.. that whole section actually, from 6-8, where it talks about what we should bring to God. It clearly says we don't need any material possessions, or good deeds, we just need to come with the right heart (love) and a willingness to walk with God. I love that.

Today's MDG

I just want to say that today's meeting was awesome, and it really had me thinking about my knowledge bank. I'm glad that I have such wonderful brothers that are in this together, learning about what it means to be Christian and how to go about doing it. I learned a lot today. :)

Psalms 90:1-12 is what I read.

Proverbs 4:10-19

One interesting thing I found from this passage: verse 13 says we're supposed to guard "instruction", guard her because we are her life. I wonder why God used "her" to refer to "instruction"...

Exodus 34:1-9

The first thing that popped up in my head immediately was God's willingness to provide us with a second chance, no matter how hard we've failed in the past... And how he loves us despite our failures...

Another thing I wanted to mention in my post today.. I recently watched to a video on youtube created by an atheist about the spoken word video, and honestly, I don't blame him for the argument he's making, because after watching the spoken word video for the first time, it's honestly a bunch of crap, things that are always voiced by hypocritical Christians who have no Scripture to back up their words, and no proof of belief in their actions... But at the same time, his argument isn't clear at all either, in fact, his argument is just as stupid, because all he says is breaking down the argument of Christians, and never supporting his side.

I read a comment on the video saying that Atheism is also a religion, because it is a belief of disbelief of a God. I thought that was interesting...

The link of the video is below, there is some profanity in there, but it's not that bad.
