Before you read this post, you gotta check out the testimony video above! Jesus is so good =D
Radical Jam Trio for this Sunday:
Grace on Keys - Kay on Drums - Me on Bass/Vocal
Grace on Keys - Kay on Drums - Me on Bass/Vocal
Man we had a heck of a good time this morning practicing, even though we started out slow & a bit "not together", but after getting into the worship mode, it was like LeBron James making that sweet buzzer winning shot yesterday (watch video below). Paul actually came and just worshiped. He is such an encourager and a model for all to see -- with such a heart on Jesus that nothing else matters; I love this man of God!
I have to confess, I get quite frustrated when the band's "not totally there" during practice. I definitely want to give our best because He totally deserves the best out of each of the musicians. And I know we can do our best. I feel like a coach sometimes, but I definitely apologize for my frustration and anger sometimes. You know that I love you all and it's been such a joy and honor to worship Jesus together!
I just love to worship, and ever since September I have been playing & singing for every Sunday, literally! I'm not here to complain haha... I LOVE DOING WHAT I'M DOING and definitely this is one of the things I'm drawn to, and maybe called to for the rest of my life, only He knows! However on the other hand I'm definitely looking forward to my 1.5 month traveling during this summer to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Cambodia!
SCHOOL OF DISCIPLES
1) Kevin & Sean
Ted & I went to visit Kevin & Sean, who got into a serious accident which caused skull fracture and surgery. Praise God that they are safe and the surgeries went well. Kevin has been resting at home for over a week and Sean arrived home earlier today. We got to chat with Kevin a bit and both Ted & I felt that Kevin's heart was softened by the Lord through this accident because over a month ago Kevin also got into another accident which the car was totaled but he was safe. Before we left the house, we prayed together and once again ask God to protect Kevin and his family from any sort of attacks from the enemy, and that their faith would be strengthened in this time of physical restoration. Channel, the girl who was in the passenger's seat, fractured her lower spine and is now on wheelchair/crutches temporarily; she can walk eventually after going through physical therapies. Let's join in prayers to see Channel to be completely healed in the name of Jesus!
2) Treasure Hunt
I went treasure hunting with Ted and Eric. It was Ted's 2nd time and Eric's 1st time to treasure hunt, so both of them were a bit nervous, especially Eric (he did a great job!). Well, I found one treasure: Dark Horizontal Stripe Shirt - a lady wearing it @ 99 Ranch Market. She couldn't really understand what we were talking about, however she asked us to pray for her to find a job so we did. Dark striped shirt, check. And that's pretty much the only treasure we've found today. Approached many other people @ 99 Ranch Market but all kindly rejected. I feel like the Chinese community has a culture of rejection and I want to see that culture to be transformed by the love of Christ!
Eric got a very specific thing written down: a LONG-HAIRED CHINESE LADY in RED sitting outside of 99 Ranch Market @ around 5:30PM! We got to the market at around 5:10, and he started to wait outside for his treasure. Man I love his heart! He felt quite discouraged because the treasure did not show up, but Ted and I just simply encouraged him for his faithfulness! Lord, thank you for Eric, and I believe You will give him a double treasure next time he goes out hunting!
WAVE
Cooked some pan-fried dumplings aka Pot-Stickers. Oh yes, I COOKED and they were GOOOOOD! After that we (Enoch, Aaron, Jasmine, Tina) had a beautiful time worship the Lord, just to get connected with Him and pray to Him. We also interceded for the team up in Seattle and believed that God would pour out His spirit during the meeting that many hearts would be touched and changed forever by the love of Jesus! Later into the night, Stacey, May, and Steven dropped by and we all prayed for Steven and had a great time praying some funny stuff over him; it was joyous =D Steven, Ima gonna miss you buncha bro! You better come back, you hear?
LAKERS v. Nuggets: 103 - 97
Kobe Bryant, the greatest finisher there is besides Michael Jordan and Larry Bird! I certainly hope to see the Lakers in the Finals against the Cavaliers. Sweet!
KRIS ALLEN
If you have never watched American Idol, this year's winner, Kris Allen, is a worship leader and a missionary to many African countries. A brilliant musician full of love from the Lord. I just pray that the Lord would invade media and pop culture with His appointed people through national television shows and expose those who dare to confess their strong faith in You, Jesus, and bring Your presence back into the mainstream media! COME ON! PRAISE THE LORD! An article talking about this: CLICK HERE!
Jesus, looking back today, I wonder why sometimes I would want to not having You in everything I do!
Johnny
Dude, I was around there at that time! At Nubi! Oh maaaaan. I can't believe we didn't even see each other. Hm, there was a long haired chinese woman with A RED CAR at 99 ranch! hahah, close enough, right? Your dumplings were oh so delicious. I'm sure God had something to do with your skills :P GO KRIS ALLEN! One day, you should go on American Idol :D
