philippians 2

I learned the importance of sacrifice..yes, it is very important. 

How do you learn about love without experience sacrifice?

How can you understand history without recognizing people's sacrifice?

How can you understand Christ's love for us without understanding sacrifice?

How do people think about you when you are willing to sacrifice?

What kind of resources, time, energy are you too selfish to sacrifice?

How do parents show their children sacrifice?

How come the world has stopped emphasizing sacrifice?

How come now people look out for number one before anything, and do not sacrifice?

Be willing, be loving, be sacrificial...live in God's example and character. Read Philippians 2 and talk to me, I would love to see what you think, what you agree and disagree with, what sacrifice you have experienced.

= )

God is soo good, allll the time..

btw, pray for jerry...he has a big boo boo above his eye.  <3

If God brings you to it,
He'll bring you through it
 
 

Romans 12:16-21

Forgiveness is moving from "you owe me" to "You owe me nothing."

There are no enduring relationships without forgiveness. 

Forgiveness is the choice to release others from the obligation that resulted when they hurt you. 

Let that be true..always.

peace out guys and gals

treading water

I feel like I am treading water..barely staying above..barely staying afloat. 

Picture this..

Jesus is standing on the shore..standing on land looking down at you.  You are in the water, barely treading, barely staying afloat..barely able to do anything but you are still there.  However, during those numerous and countless moments where you start to give up, where you start to give in to the temptations, start to lose the fight and start sinking in the water, Jesus will hold you up, He will gather you and let you know that He is watching over you, that He is standing by your side...WAITING for you to walk on water, to have so much faith in Him that you will stop treading, and start walking, start swimming, start moving along and doing what God has planned for you to do.

I feel like that right now...in midst of doing what I know will glorify God, in doing what I am supposed to be doing at UCLA, i am faced with so many temptations and struggles to just give it up, just stop trying, just accept that I am not good enough...but who said i am not good enough?  Not God, definitely not my friends and family, and not myself...who else..how obvious can it be..

Continue to run the race, continue to persevere and continue to serve God and live my life God-willing, even during stressful times, even during finals, even through all the hardships and struggles...for Galatians 6:9. 

Yeah fools...go read that verse, may God's word bless you, reconcile you, discipline you and mold you into an incredibly strong-willed, faithful, confident, prayerful, humble and patient Christian...haha, while i was typing that I thought of a Spartan..but who said they are humble?  ok...cya later, back to studying

Pray for me cause I will be praying for you!
