My parents gave me the "Go" to Epic Summer Project in Japan. Now all I need wait patiently for the Lord. $5800 dollars seems very intimidating, but, like my friend said, "God is bigger than that." I'm sure that he will provide the financial support to take me to Japan. If not, then God may not be calling me to Japan. Please pray that I will have enough financial needs to get to Japan. This is a really big step I am taking and knowing I need to raise $5800 scares me. Oh boy oh boy...
Anxious as what's to happen, but also excited at the thought of me sharing the Gospel in Japan! Just a warm feeling inside me.
I have a major test tomorrow that I cannot afford to fail, so I am going to end it now.

ワンピース (One Piece)
Sigh...If only I was passionate about God than I am with One Piece... I'm always reading about the characters, reading articles on the events in One Piece, and finding out new things in the One Piece world. I get so excited! I even debate against other people why One Piece is so great! One Piece is so awesome!
But when if I used that passion for God? I would read the Bible everyday, read some Christian books, and learn something new in the Bible! I would tell other people why Christ is so good and so much better than anything in the world! But...that has yet to happen.
I went to Austin Stone Feb 20th, 2011. Pastor Halim talked about "Why evangelize if God is sovereign?" This has been on my mind a lot. I do keep it to myself a lot sometimes, even to people I truly care about that don't know Jesus. Halim said that it was like a girl who's been going out with this boy for several years. And on a beautiful night, the boy proposes to her and asks her to marry him. She says yes and gets excited. This unexplainable joy runs through her and she can't wait to tell everyone. She gets her phone, calls her best friends and then suddenly the boy grabs her phone and says, "Hey, lets just keep it a secret between you and me. Don't let anyone know." That joy was cut short and was not experienced to its full extent.
Never thought of that before. When I accepted Christ, I did not tell ANYONE. I waited for people to ask me. Dah. No wonder I was not super happy at the moment. Read Mark 1:40-45.
Anyways, about today...
It seems that I still not have not learned my lesson on procrastination... IT'S BAD! RESULTS ARE BAD!
Here are things that hinder my academics: distractions, laziness, and apathy.
Today, I took my Japanese Oral exam. Totally blanked out... because I studied the night before and got 5 hours of sleep. The results were clear: I did horrible.
I want to tell myself not to do it again, but I know I am not perfect. Gotta ask God to help me out here.

My cloudy head
I need to place God in front of me, to show that He is much better than anything else, and that anything else is just a temporary earthly desire. He is far more worth than anything.
Dang it, Satan is so witty. tempts me a lot at the most random times.
My head needs to be cleared and be filled up with God's presence. With some prayer, He'll remind me that he is still with me.
Chris Tomlin's "Our God is Greater" also lifts me up and praise Jesus for his victory over sin.
And if our God is for us
then who can ever stop us
And if our God is with us
then what can stand against!!
Remember to place God first in EVERYTHING! And Remember that when you see something that looks REAL GOOD or GREAT, remind yourself that "Our God is Greater".
