Where does HE want me?

I've been having quite a bit of self debates for the past couple of months...

Where does God want me to be?

I really love serving in the youth ministry...but yet at the same time, I would really love to help my dad out at his church. He has asked me a couple of times and my mom has been pretty much guilt tripping me for not helping him....

I'm really praying and asking God to lead me to where He wants me to be...but it has been a few months...and I still don't have an answer...what could this mean?

I just felt like running...

Today I ran for 3 miles w/o stopping...

I haven't really been running since last year's 5K EIF REVLON Breast Cancer run/walk, so I was really surprised that I was able to go that long w/o having to stop. The funny thing is that when my body is telling me to stop with all kind of pain and soreness, my mind is telling me, I just felt like running...

That really reminded me of the saying "When there's a will, there's a way." Kind of weird and strange...but hey...it worked for Forrest and it worked for me! Tomorrow I'm going to shoot for 4 miles! Ohhhh! As I was looking for a picture of Forrest, I came across another cool run for good cause! The Run Forrest Run 5K! It looks freaking awesome! Although it's all the way out in Monterey, I would totally take a road trip out there just to participate! Anyone down for a road trip???

Feelings...

How are you feeling today?



Feeling really weird lately....been going through all kind of mixed feelings and emotions...but at the end of the day...I still don't know exactly how or what I felt...

Yes, I know its weird...but I don' t know why this is happening...

I Surrender All...

I just came acrossed a song that I haven't heard in years....

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust him
In his presence daily live

I surrender all,
I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all

All to Jesus I surrender
Humbly at his feet I bow
Worldly pleasures all forsaken
Take me, Jesus, Take me now

I surrender all,
I surrender all
All to Thee my blessed Savior
I surrender all

I never realized how beautiful the lyrics are until now. How awesome it is to be able to surrender our all to Jesus? Why is it so hard for us to do so? Why is it that some times we let worldy pleasure or our selfish desiers take over our will instead of surrendering it all to Jesus?

Lord, I want to be able surrender my all to You! To ever love and trust You with my all! Please give me the wisdom and strength to do so! Amen!

My First Time...

The sky was dark, the clouds were grey...the springling rain flying in the air...


Yesterday, I went to a Christian church in China for the first time. SCF (Shanghai Community Fellowship) is a international and multi-denominational church in Shanghai. There are belivers from more than 60 nations attending this church. I'm glad that I got to visit an actual church in China. Will be coming back next week!

Shanghai...

Last week was somewhat of a strange week. I was told to relocate to the city of Shanghai. This was not planned as a part of my trip and will most likely extend my stay here in China. Things are much different here than in Xi'An. It's one of the biggest and busiest city in China. The weather climate is a little warmer than Xi'An since it's more in the south east part of China. It's also near the ocean which means more SEAFOOD! I shall take sometime to explore the city during the weekends and try some of the local dishes!

Sleep...

For the past few days, I've been working for 16+ hours a days and boy am I tired....I feel like I could sleep for days without waking up....this puppy looked soooo comfortable in his sleep....wish I could have a nice long nap like him soon w/o any worry on my mind!
