| once again, it's been awhile since i've written anything in this, but i figured i'd give an update.
i started going to forerunner christian church in fremont starting in october. it's pretty different that the church i grew up at (home of christ in sf) but it's been great. i'm definitely where God wants me to be!
things that are going on in the next week:
forerunner christian church winter conference: @ hyatt regency hotel (next to sf airport) is dec 29- jan 02. it's free! you just need to find lodging if you live further away.
to register, go to forerunner.cc and click english. (or if your chinese is good enough, click chinese =P)
onething global young adult conference: @ kansas city, missouri is dec 28-dec 31. please visit www.ihop.org to registser. it's free as well, but you need to find a way to get to kansas city and also a place to stay.
i went to the onething conference last year, and it was a blast! i encourage everyone to go. God will open your eyes like never before.

| it's been a long time since i've written anything here...but this i
felt i should share. there's also an entry about this in the
hoc4testimony xanga. but here goes...
In mid to late July of this past year, on a Friday, while I was at
work, for no apparent reason that I could think of I clicked on a this
guitar shop's website. There was a particular guitar that caught
my eye because of it's make, age and price. So, I called my mom,
and told her I wanted to buy a guitar and she asks me how I was going
to pay for it, and I told her from my brokerage account. My mom then
goes absolutely ballistic on me, actually telling me she'd disown me if
bought the guitar. So..I hung up the phone, and said to God,
"Lord, I want what You want. Whatever that is will be fine w/ me."
Before I continue let me backtrack, the month prior, I received
prophetic word several times all telling me that God was going to take
me up another level in my ministry w/ music and just me very powerfully
and prophetically.
Back to the story. I left work, and on the bus ride home, I felt
that the Lord speaking to me, telling me that He prevented me from
buying that guitar. I felt God say to me that He was going to
take me up another level in my worship and ministry w/ music just as
various people had spoken to me in the prior month, and that He had
another guitar already ordained and prepared for me to take me there
and that it is a gift from Him, which I was not supposed to pay
for. So, I began to dialog w/ the Lord, asking Him what I was
supposed to do w/ my current guitar. Usually, I would have no
problem having multiple guitars, but for some reason my feeling was
that if God had one ordained and prepared for me, I really wouldn't
need my current one. So, in my mind, it was either sell it or
give it way, and I didn't feel right selling it, so I began to ask God
who am I supposed to give it to?
That night, at church, after fellowship, one sister comes up to me and
tells me that there's no one in her school's christian club that knows
how to play guitar for worship and asks if I would teach her how to
play guitar. She doesn't have a guitar. At that particular point
when she asked me, my first thought was "whoa, I think I'm supposed to
give her my guitar". Long story, short, I wanted to wait until
she could commit to this before I gave her my guitar so the day after
she turned in all her college applications, I gave her my guitar.
Last night, which happened to be "Good Friday" I found myself at
Forerunner church in Fremont, and towards the end of the night, I was
playing ping pong w/ a brother and the topic came up and I shared
bascially everything you've read up until this point w/ him. When
we finished playing ping pong, he told me he wanted to pray for
me. So he prayed for me, and afterward, he says to me that while
I was telling him my story, he kept feeling like he was supposed to
give me his guitar, but he wanted to pray for me for confirmation and
what he received while he was praying for me was that God is going to
use me to "breed love" through prophetic worship. This was his
confirmation to give me the guitar because it was a breedlove guitar.
Praise God. He is a God of perfect timing. It tooke me 4
and a half months from the time I knew I was supposed to give my guitar
away to actually do it, and I waited 4 and a half months before I
received my new guitar. God first spoke to me about this on a
Friday and completed it on a Friday. Praise God because He is
faithful.
Be patient in the Lord. The word(s) He has spoken about your life will come to pass.

want a new phone...but all the phones right now (for verizon) are all
lacking something....so now i gotta wait....the new LG VX8100 which is
much sleaker than the VX8000 should be coming out in the next 2-3
months has friggin everything in a nice little small flip phone.
the new Samsung SGH-i730 is the pimpest pocket pc smart phone i've ever
seen. that's got absolutely everything on it and some. but
