Kaka...falling behind on these sermon writeups here XP K...so the second one that my pastor talked about was- how can u call God loving when He allows disasters that bring such great suffering? He first started out w/ a critics syllogism: If God were all-powerfulm he COULD stop disasters; If God were all loving, he WOULD stop disasterd; Disasters not stopped; Therefore, God must not be all-powerful or all loving. However, there are Biblical affirmations to the statements above. God is ALL-POWERFUL--> nthg can stop Him (Psalm 115:3- Our God is in heaven. He does whatever pleases Him) God is ALL-LOVING (1 John 4:8- God is love)
(1) Because of his power, God ALLOWS disaster as a CONSEQUENCE for sin- Rom 8:20,22, creation goes thru labour pains, put into contractions not b/c they want to, but b/c God did, consequence of our choices
(2) Because of his justice, God SENDS disaster as a JUDGEMENT for sin- Isaiah 45:6,7, Genesis 4--> noah's flood, Romans 3:10, Luke 13:4-5 to name a few
(3)Because of his live, God USES disaster to TURN us fr/ sin- wake us up, repent or perish
God and Suffering--> (1) God came DOWN in the PAST to share our suffering- Hebrews 2:73? survive temptations and death (2) God comes NEAR in the PRESENT to support us in our suffering- Romans 8:35 (3) God will come BACK in the FUTURE to save us from all suffering- Romans 8:18
Christian's syllogism: If God were all-powerful, he COULD stop disasters; If God were all loving, he WOULD stop disasters; Disasters are not stopped YET; THerefore, God will one day put an END to disasters
*smiles* it's really nice and encouraging to here all this...cuz it just answers some ques...and gives u the security to know just who is in control =P

sighs...just continually trying to put God first in all things...wondering bout some things...thinking bout alot of things...through it all...i'll place all my hopes, trust, love in You...Abba =)

*When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you. Isaiah 43:2 NLT
* have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness. John 12:46 NLT
*The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my victory. He is my God, and I will praise him; he is my father's God, and I will exalt him! Exodus 15:2 NLT
*The blessing of the Lord makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22 NLT
*****You are my strength...in You alone, my hope is found*****

collage of some of the pics taken w/ crys...*smiles* i'm so thankful that i found such a gd friend fr/ God at queens...
XP okay...hvn't blogged in ages...=S Sigh..it's not like i don't want to tho...just wanted to hv the time to write down the things i really want to say the right way...lol..which takes time XD

Mmm...nthg much going on right now...basically work. Lol...work has been interesting...working at two diff places and stuff...meeting new ppl and learning how to interact w/ them...the 'real' world...*smiles* ppl skills some might say =P Well...both i'm learning alot fr/ in many diff ways...been learning how to do bloodwork, using the glucometer, checking vitals, inserting IV lines, about the diff meds the residents take, catheters, lol...and so much more =P *laughs* at one place i work on the alzheimers flr...it's kinda sad the way they end up...which i might add i Don't want to end up like...just a quicki heart attack thank u XP

Neways...lol, i get new stories to tell everytime i work there XD...i'll just put one or two up i guess...okay, so there's a lady there named elizabeth there...there are approx 8 stages in alzheimers and she's in the 5th stage...k, so one night as i was getting ready to leave and was taking ppl's garbages out of their rooms...w/out me and another psw knowing...elizabeth comes out of her room, and takes all the mini garbage bags fr/ the big garbage bag and lines them up all in a row along the hallway...haha...omgosh...at that time...we were kinda like...argh...lol...but thinking back on it...it's quite hilarious...to come out of a rm and see all the garbage bags all lined up in along the hallway XP Lol...another story w/ elizabeth i guess...=P another night...as we were making our rounds around the flr...we come back to the locked ward side to find that elizabeth had packed all her belongings fr/ her room and put them infront of the locked door XP Including toilet paper! lol...neways, we asked her...were she was going...she was going ot take a train to a French city...lol...i quickly made up a name cuz she forgot which city the train was going to...lol...'la vieille'?!? Haha...yes, that's the one >_> *smiles* Nevertheless...we convinced her that the train would be late and wouldn't be back till tom and that we should put all her belongings back in her room to protect them fr/ burgulars (lol, is that how u spell it? ==''')

Lol...at the other place...my manager and d.o.c. are hilarious sometimes =P lol..telling stories of their childhood and all the mischievious things they did. *sadly smiles* the generations nowadays just don't cut it when it really comes to fun...time w/ family and friends. So...my manager has 3 other sisters...lol...and they played so many crzy games when they were younger...they apparently lived on an acre of land...and they'd play a game where one of the sisters would be buried in snow...and the other 3 had to find her...haha...and even tho u were stepped on while buried under the snow...u wouldn't dare say a word lest they find u XD...lol...then she tells of how they played tag in the basement in the dark...haha...bonking heads on the support poles of the basement XD...lol. Then my d.o.c used to go pool hopping w/ one of her friends called wendy...haha...which means that they basically swam in their neighbour's pools w/out their permission =P lol...neways, one day they swam in my d.o.c's neighbour's pool...lol, they would have gotten away w/ it if her friend wendy hadn't dropped her barrette w/ her Name on it in the pool...lol...the next day their neighbour called them over...haha.

Mmm...my pastor had polled the congregation at my church bout which topics they'd like him to talk bout and stuff...soo...The past two weeks have been really interesting...lol...and i'm debating whether or not to put them both here...or write one and another later on XD lol...since i Know i don't blog too often XP. Mmm...one i guess...=P But i'll say both topics now...lol...so i don't forget XP "How do u know if ur prayers are answered?" and "How can u call God loving when He allows disasters that bring such great suffering?" Both of them are gd...in particular...the last one had the most interest...esp concerning the tsunami and stuff...

Lol..but i'll talk bout the first one since that's the first one he spoke about =P I promise! next time...soonnnn. Btw, church i go to is the MET (Metropolitan Bible Church)...altho i still consider OCAC (Ottawa Chinese Alliance Church) my home one =P Neways, the subject "How do u know if ur prayers r answered?" is used w/ ref to Matt 7: 1-11. Using this passage...he basically made these pts:
(1)God will answer you- so keep praying (7:7-8) Prayer involves: asking, seeking (implies waiting/delays, tend to be impatient), knocking. Prayer requires persisting- tempted to give up.
(2) God will answer well- so keep trusting (7:9-11) Comparaison- father (rents) to children --> give bread vs stone, fish vs snake. Contrast- compared to God everyone of us are evil/ flawed
**If imperfect, sinful, human father can be trusted to give gd gifts to his children...then a Perfect, Sinless Heavenly Father can be trusted to give gd gifts to His children.
**sometimes God gives u what u asked for and perhaps even more
**sometimes God gives us not what we asked for. Think ask God for bread when it's actually a stone
**sometimes God gives us smthg that's diff than what u asked for
*****pray w/out ceasing =)*****

Lol...watch the money seep thru the hands =P

Neways...on spiritual level...hvn't been too bad...sermons have been helpful as always...really look up to my pastor and how he uses the scripture itself to carry the whole sermon rather than really basing it on a story or smthg..u know what i mean...sunday school has been challenging and stuff also..which is good...been able to learn bout the diff viewpts and stuff on diff issues like euthanasia, abortion, capital punishment, etc. Haven't had a chance to really attend elijah fellowship on a steady basis tho...cuz of work hrs and stuff =S...but i hope that i'll be able to go whenever i can =) e-camp is coming up soon...so looking forward to that...lol...fellowship x wilderness = crzy fun and growing/ learning =) Yah...even at work...i face non-Christians all the time...so it's been interesting...trying to bring faith into my workplace...evangelistic outreach...and to not be too influenced by the ways and thoughts of them. Had a thought...and if i really could go on a missions trip...my all time place would be romania...then china i think. We'll see where God leads me eh? =) Thru it all...You have been lending a steady hand in my life. I see it everyday...how u work in my life...w/ the above pts on the sermon...i know...everything You do has a reason...and i admit sometimes it'll prlly be beyond me to fully comprehend the vastness and beauty of Your Plan. But...i place my full trust in You...wherever i go...wherever You lead me...i will follow...thru it all...You are my all...love u Abba =)
