9:16am
Yesterday morning, I went to my 8am class as any other usual Mondays. Every time I go to the class I have to park at the pay-by-space parking lot, and it's $2.00 for an hour. I parked and just as I was about to go pay, someone asked me how long i was going to park there. I told him, till 9:16am. He said, Well I have to leave now, but I bought the space until 9:16am, would you like to take my spot? It's amazing. Coincident that the times matched? I think not!
11.50
OK. This is really stupid, cause I went to pick up my sister without knowing what "toll road" on my direction means... AND without much cash on me. I passed the first toll road, payed with almost all of my cash that's in my wallet and in my car. I went to the second one, knowing what a "toll road" from the first experience, with no money. However, the toll road station was closed, so I drove by. You all know what happens next,I got a letter this weekend. It's a violation from the toll road department. Duh. Guess how much do I have to pay now? $49.00 Can you believe this? I called the place and told them exactly what happened, and they deducted the penalty to $11.50 (This is exactly 10bucks more than the original payment of $1.5) Thank you God!
Ride-Aid
Last night, after studying with Karen and other friends, me and karen went to get some tea and coffee to prepare for another long and sleepless study night. We went to Ride-Aid and I got green tea bags, karen got coffee. At the cash register, I noticed there was this enormous scar on the cashier's left upper arm. It looks like the bones had poked through the flesh and torn everything open. I asked her what happened, as I expected, she went on and on about her car accident that happened in January. Don't get me wrong, I love detailed stories. ^^ The car was hit and flipped over. Her husband left without any injury, but her arm was left with a huge ugly scar. I asked her, if she knew Jesus, she knotted. So me and karen prayed for her, she was squeezing our hands real tightly, I think she was about to burst into tears. After we blessed her, we left the place. If it wasn't for the tea/coffee, we wouldn't meet Carmen and had the opportunity to have God speak through us to encourage her. I love you Lord!

Points earned in heaven
OK OK, here's a challenging game we can all play. You know how James talked about doing things in secret and earning points in heaven. Jesus also talked about how when you do those kinda stuffs you get rewards from God. Let's see how many points we can earn *secretly* everyday. Why not have a secret competition. ;) *Actually a competition within yourselves!* YEA YEA??? Record your points everyday and add them together by the end of the week see how many points u earned in heaven. This is more challenging than letting everyone know what you have done publicly! Are you willing to accept the challenge??!! xD Let's do it!

When I'm weak, You are strong!!
Man the air condition is getting worse everyday. (The sun was hot pink this evening) I heard that we might get evacuated next Thursday, not sure. Anyone knows how the fire started?? @__@" Man made? Too dry? Aiya... my allergy. T^T
Recently I dream a lot, however, I cannot seem to remember any of them clearly. Just bits and pieces that can't even make up a plot. I clearly remember from last night's dream, a little girl was asking me some questions regarding Jesus. I forgot what the questions were, but I know I was totally shocked at how mature, serious, and realistic the questions were. The Lord will rise up more and more kids and shine lights through them. They will be the lighthouse in the storms, which shines so brightly that people will be extremely amazed. Lord, guide me and teach me how I can help these kids in the right way to ignite their fire of passion for You and for the lost souls. Jesus I heart You!
Three midterms next week, great! I need strength and wisdom, Lord. Oh you know what? You students should all try to pray before studying, because it works! Ex. I was reading my marketing textbook and it didn't make sense to me. I stopped and prayed for the supernatural comprehension and concentration. It was just a short simple prayer and when I read the passage again, guess what? I understood everything right away! Woohoo! Nice huh?! xD So try it at home kids!!
Alrighty back to studying... and PRAY FOR THE FIRE & FIREFIGHTERS & PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE FIRE(evacuated, lost their home, lost their family members/friends...etc)
Ps. There are wildfire burning just a few cities away from UCR, please pray for Riverside!! ><
Chao, sala<3

Amazing Grace
My goodness, the air in Riverside is just so bad. It's filled with the smoke and dust from the fire in Malibu. My friend said she heard from the news that the fire is coming towards Riverside, and Alice just called and told me that Irvine is on fire too. What is happening!!! @_____@|||
Christine and Kenneth liked IMPACT very much. On the way back to Riverside, we encountered this crazy hurricane kinda wind/sand storm. My car was shifting from left to right, it was so hard to control and soooo scary! In the car, we were playing Jrock music (since Christine really loves Jrock, and i don't dislike it... xp). But, during the storm, Christine did something that amazed me. She turned off the music and said, "Let's be quiet for a moment". Then... she started to sing Christian songs!! From that moment on, we sang different songs to God until she arrived at her apartment. Before she did that I did not know what to do except praying (cause it was so scary), but what she did encouraged me so much. I was praying that God will let me see the way to cut in to her, to lead her to Christ, then through this experience it was like a light bulb of idea suddenly popped up. MUSIC!! This is the way to introduce Jesus to her, and no other better way!
Yesterday in our house church, Christine came as well. I was leading the worship and I decided to try something different for the group. Though this is not new for IMPACT, I was challenging and encouraging the crowd to sing freely to God in their own words. That was something new for many people, and God was just totally pouring out His Spirit on us. Christine sat next to me and she was singing louder than anyone else! I love the way God does things in a mysterious and miraculous way!! Yesterday's message was about the "perfect church" that the Bible describes. Diana, one of our leaders, talked about how we can do as individuals to impact our churches and unite everyone in the church as a ball. After the message, she led everyone into prayers and many people were crying, including me, during that time. She led many topics of prayers but the one that was really powerful was when she asked us to just praise God! Everyone started to pray loudly and just thank God for everything He has done and simply praise Him and adore Him. God's presence was so strong and I believe that Christine and Maria (the two new friends) were touched by God somehow. After the service, I stayed with Christine to tell her about the gospel and drew the salvation graph. Then two other leaders, including my roommate, went and talked to her more about their own personal encounter with God and taught her how to pray, what does it mean to be a Christian, who Jesus is...etc. Then at the end they prayed for her. I am just totally thankful of what God has done through us to Christine. I asked her to pray to God before she sleeps that God Himself will let her encounter Him in her dreams. (Thanks Jacko!) Though I haven't heard about her response yet, I believe God has already done great things and won this lost soul!! Hallelujah!
Ps. She wants to come again next Monday! xD YAY!! Praise Jesus!
