lots of prayer requests out there...
as I was driving up to BP's house last night for prayer meeting, I realized how hard my heart has been to pray lately. It was actually bothering me the whole day. It just feels that I'm not allowing myself to be sensative to the Spirit. =(

As we started to pray, I couldnt help but be overwhelmed by the need to pray for people, the world, CCMC, and the community around us. Tears started to well up in my eyes. God break my heart to pray and to love others just as you have loved us.

I've decided to do our last Friday night bible study for the semester on John 15.

calling/submission...
so we did a study on Eph 5:22- 6:9. about wives and husbands. children and parents. and slaves and masters. I notice the importance of the roles I live in. I notice the necessity of healthy relationships in each scenario. I notice the "agape" love needed. I notice the automatic submission required b/c of what has been already given me.

there are things I need to work on.
such as being a spiritual leader in a relationship
loving my significant other like Christ loves the church
working diligently, when no one is lkg, esp when the boss is not around. doing it with a cheerful heart. whole heartedly.

its hard to keep posting on 2 sites...
I noticed I'm slacking on updating this blog. =(
However, blogger seems to have changed its format to keep up with xanga.

Well, here are some recent updates.
I set 2 deadlines for myself:
1) End of July- to decide on taking some seminary classes
2) End of the year- to decide if full-time ministry is really where God is calling me

fears/reservations/worries
1) Finances
2) Future wife???

one last thing...
decided to fast on something so difficult for me to do. Calling Jenni. why is she so hard to get out of my mind?
