Power of Prayer: 1040!!!

As many of you know, Jaeson Ma's blog was one of the reason i started my 365 days of God's LOVE. obviously, my first and main reason why i'm doing it is because of God. so when i found out about the 1040 movie and saw the preview before it actually came out, i was really excited! i talked about it around my friends and i was thinking about asking my church if they want to host it. however, the 7 alarms fire that happened at my building and the buildings around me had me push it to the side and i just didn't have the time to ask anyone because i was trying to get my life in order and i was trying to find a place to live. although i didn't have time to ask my church, i continue talking about it and praying for it. and then bomb, about two weeks ago i found out that CCHC is hosting it. after many months of prayers, God has finally answer my prayer! so elated! tomorrow is actually the event.

1040 Movie and Jaeson Ma: 7:30pm at Sun Yat Sen, MS 131! BRING EVERYONE!!!

Praying that God will move NYC, especially Manhattan! bring down your Holy Spirit! LET'S GO GOD!!!! GO, GO, GO....!!!!

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverb 3:3

hmmm...should i get out of comfort zone and leave a comment on jaeson ma's blog. i usually don't like to leave comment on people's blog. i just read them 100% of the time and not comment. hmmm...i will see what God will lead me to do...

365 Days of God's LOVE: Day 226

As i was waiting in line at Duane Reade to pay for my stuff, a lady behind me seem like she was in a rush to go somewhere. I decided to give up my spot on line so that she can get to where she has to go.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverb 3:3

365 Days of God's LOVE: Day 225

My twin, Li Wah and I was heading to the Grand Street train station. As we were walking with the rest of the crowd heading into the train, I noticed a grandma with her cane and a huge cart of groceries standing on the side. People were just walking by her and ignoring her as if she wasn't there. I walked up to her and asked her if she needs any help bringing her cart of groceries down. With an elated face, she said "YES!" My twin and I tried carrying it down with the rest of the crowds, however, as we were carrying it down, her groceries came out of the cart. So my twin decided to carry the cart down, while I carried the groceries that came out of the cart. O'man, that cart was seriously heavy, so I asked the grandma whether she was heading to Brooklyn or Uptown. She said Brooklyn. Since it was heavy, I told her that I'm going to help her carry her cart of groceries downstairs because it was seriously heavy. Although it was out of my way, because I was suppose to head uptown to my graduate class, I believe it will be best if I helped her carry it down, since it was seriously heavy even for me and with her cane, I don't think she will be able to carry it down. Skinny me, weighing only 106 pounds carried the cart of groceries (with all of her groceries in the cart) down because my twin, Li Wah came down just to swiped me into the train station. Since she swiped me in, she couldn't go beyond the turnstile. (I felt bad later on because she was waiting for me to see if I was OK because the cart of groceries was heavier than me. Clumsy me, she thought I will injury myself. PRAISE THE LORD because I was fine afterward).

As the grandma and I were waiting for her B train, she kept saying "Thank you" to me and that I should tell my sister (she's not my biological sister...hehehehe) that she said "Thanks." I was like it's okay. Then she goes on saying that all men in the world should be embarrassed because two skinny girls were able to carry a huge cart of groceries down. I was like, no its okay because we were doing it out of GOD'S LOVE!!! With a question mark face, she was like God's LOVE? i was like yeahh!!! If Jesus saw you, He would have done the same thing. I was like, I'm doing this not out of kindness but rather, God had showed me love and I want to show everybody around me God's love. She was shocked and she asked me questions about this God that my twin, Li Wah and I believed it. With the short amount of time, I told her about God and what He did for us. Right after I'm done talking to her, her train came and she told me that she will think about what I said. So I was like, GREAT! After that, I helped her wheel her cart of groceries into the train and said to 0take care of herself.

PRAISE THE LORD! because I got to my class on time
Pray that one day she will believe and come to know our Lord and Savior!

LET'S GO GOD!!! GO, GO, GO...!!!

365 Days of God's LOVE - Day 224

sorry, since i lost my computer during the 7 alarms fire that happened to my apartment/building couple of months ago, i cannot post up the other entries of my 365 Days of God's LOVE. I had it saved in my computer and not on this blog. i'm soooo sorry!

On Wednesday, I was sitting on the D train heading to my graduate class. As I was sitting there, I noticed that a lot of the men in my train were staring at one direction. Curious me, i decided to look at the direction. Behold my eyes! A girl wearing a purple-ish button down shirt..well, her buttons were unbotton. Actually, there were 2 buttons that were unbutton and for this reason, her bra were showing. Out of love, i walked up to her and told her that her bra was showing. As i was walking up to her, i walked in a direction where i tried to block all the guys from looking. I got "boo" by the men, but i will do it to any women out there! Protecting all my sisters out there!

God is the way, the truth and the light! LET'S GO GOD!!! GO, GO, GO!!!

GOD

My eyes are on the Lord. I do not care what other tells me because your call and love are sufficient enough for me to continue. My eyes are unto my Lord ALWAYS! I do not pray for an easy road in life, but I do pray that every step I take you're with me and it brings me a step closer to you.

My arms are open for you and your love, LORD! Give me more of You and YOUR LOVE! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....that's what I want!

365 Days of God's Love - Explanation

jeason ma's called this challenge "365 Days of Love" but i will like to called it "365 Days of God's Love" because its a great reminder for me. a reminder that i'm doing this all because God has LOVE me first so that I can LOVE others.

without God's Love, i believe that i would have not accepted God as my personal Lord and Savior when i was younger. it was His Love and a brother in Christ that showed me God's Love that i accepted God as my personal Lord and Savior. for this reason, i believe that the action of God's Love can touch or inspire others.

My 365 Days of God's Love Challenge:

My Challenge: for each day for 365 Days is to show God's Love (or Love, however you want to look at it) to at least one person a day.

My Purpose: Why talk about love and not put it into ACTION? actions speaks louder than words

My Goal: to touch or/and inspire others around me to love the way God has LOVE us.

some of the explanation was stolen from jeason ma's blog. http://jaesonma.com/

while participating on this challenge, i will pick one kind of Love deed i did for that day, and will be posted on facebook. i will also be writing about it on a journal that will be posted on this blog. i have to edit some of the entires that i've been writing because its personal that is meant for myself to know about.

"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. " 1 John 3:18

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

365 Days of God's LOVE- How I Started This Challenge

i know i promised you guyz that i would start a blog on this challenge of "365 Days of God's LOVE". due to graduate applications, projects from my graduate class and some other daily routines in my life, i never got a chance to create a blog on this. since some of you guyz been anxious about it, i've decided to just post it on my current blog with a lot of my previous entries put on private.

some of you guyz asked me why would i decide to accept a challenge from God, especially something like this. it seems obscured and something that is impossible to accomplish. yet i have to admit, when i first read about it and felt the Holy Spirit motivating me to do it, i felt the same way: obscured and impossible! first the numbers of "365 days" seems like a HUGE number! you know what, IT IS A HUGE NUMBER! knowing myself, i can barely keep my promise to do something within a week or even a month, yet alone, 365 DAYS! it was something out of my range and especially OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE! yet at the end, i decided to accept this challenge from God and this is how it began.

as you guyz noticed from my previous entry, i blogged about my new year's resolutions. yet i never post a follow-up entry on it. i never post a follow-up entry because i never really came up with a new years' resolution that seem like it was reasonable and possible. so instead of coming up with new year's resolution, i've decided to google blog in where new year's resolution are posted to brainstorm ideas. for some odd reasons, the first blog i clicked on was jaeson ma's blog. he was blogging about how he's going to challenge himself to the "365 Days of Love." basically, he's a pastor and he's always preaching and writing music about love. to him, he realized that LOVE means nothing to people unless he LIVES a LIFE of LOVE! so he took on this challenge, by showing random act of love to at least one person for each of day of the year. when i first read it, i was like "man, this is a huge challenge and yet crazy at the sametime." but somehow, i felt the Holy Spirit telling me to take on this challenge too. i was like, "ME!?!? no way i will be able to do it" and left it the way it is, and TRY not to think about it anymore. but God didn't give up on me.

for the next few days, weeks, months- God's been showing me signs to take on this challenge. signs of Love, the act of Love...everything about Love that you can think of was place in front of me. i just couldn't avoid it so i've decided to pray about but at the sametime, didn't really think much about it.

around january 2010, i was at my friend's place watching this taiwanese drama called "Hi, My Sweetheart" and thought Lee Wei (the 3rd main character) was super cute with his long hair (yet, all my friends thought he was ugly). i usually don't like to watch dramas/movies in where i have to read subtitles and not understand what i'm listening but "Hi, My Sweetheart" was an exception because Lee Wei was in it. I've decided to tell my sister in Christ/close friend, Li Wah to watch this drama because i know that she loves to watch taiwanese drama. she then told me that there was a better taiwanese drama called "Autumn's Concerto" and that i should watch it. at first, i was like whatever! what can be better than "Hi, My Sweetheart". she then told me she was going to send me the link where i could watch it on this website with subtitles and the whole episode without stopping. she send me the link couple of days later. i saw the link but didn't really put much thought into it because i still felt like "Hi, My Sweetheart" was better because of Lee Wei. a week later, i was super bored online so i've decided to check the drama "Autumn's Concerto" out. click on the link and then the first episode. right on the first episode, i saw Van Ness Wu. at first, i thought he looked familiar but couldn't recognize him because of his short hair. after watching the first episode, almost toward the end that i realized that it was Van Ness Wu from F4.

in the past, when F4 was popular, i actually liked Van Ness out of the other 3 and then Ken. all my friends thought that i was crazy and had bad taste in guyz because they all thought that Jerry and Vic were better looking. but throughout my life, when i feel pity for someone or when left to the side not as popular as the others, i tend to like them, find them attractive and something great about them aside from their looks (like Van Ness, he always tries to perform his best at everything he does). but with Van Ness, i just love his straight flawless hair in Meteor Garden (for some odd reason, when i was visiting my family in hk/shenzhen, china they were rebroadcasting the drama and i happen to come out of the shower complaining about my hair and saw his hair flying flawlessly like a model on tv) and because of that hair, i became his fan and that was the hair that i try to accomplish. only to find out later on from cousin, that they straighten his hair for hours. i became a fan of his but only to find out later on that he was partying, smoking and having girlfriends here and there that i stopped being his fan because i didn't want to look up to a person like that.

anyhow, after watching the first episode i decided to google "Van Ness Wu" to see how he was doing. only to find out that he became a Christian and changed so much. around this time, i've been struggling to grasp God's Love because it just so hard for me to comprehend how Loving of a God He can be, to send His Only Son to die for people like me/us for our sins. but just looking at Van Ness and how much he changed after realizing God's Love and accepting Him as His Personal LORD and Savior that i was able to understand God's Love. after clicking from links here and there about Van Ness Wu, i ended up looking at jaeson ma's blog again. at this moment, i know that i can't run away from God anymore. i prayed for awhile and i can feel God telling me, "Amy, why be scared when I'm with you. y avoid it? all you have to do is just take that first step! I will be there, I will never leave you" after that, on March 3, 2010 i decided to accept this challenge!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 新年快樂!!!

wish everybody a 新年快樂!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR! also, i wish everybody great health, great time spend with families and loads of happiness!

today is the start of a new year, 2010. it's 2010了! 時間過得好快 ! a start of a new year means a new start and a new beginning. there's a chinese saying that goes 新一 年,新的希望!

i hope everybody are writing up their new year's resolutions! i know i'm starting to list them. lolz last year, i was able to accomplished my new year's resolutions, but i know a lot of my friends that couldn't accomplish them for one reasons or another. i really hope everybody can accomplish/achieve their 2010's resolutions. i believe in order to achieve your new year's resolution, you will have to follow these 4 simple rules.
-1). Have a buddy system! having a buddy can keep you accountable to your goals
-2). Set REALISTIC goals! don't set goals that you won't be able to accomplish. such as, losing 40 pounds in two months, period.
-3) don't take too much on at once! do it small in portion and give credit when you achieve the small portion.
-4) Most importantly, have fun while you're trying to achieve your goals. there's only 365 days in one year and nothing more, so have fun doing it. there's a famous quote from one of TVB's series ("巾帼枭雄"also known as "Rosy Business") and i believe it holds true to our lives... "人生有幾多個十年"! have fun achieving your goals and ALWAYS REMEMBER TO GIVE BACK TO YOUR WORLD AND COMMUNITY, because our lives here in earth are short.

i really hope one of your new year's resolution include: spend more time with your family and get to know them a lot better than you do now. in my next blog i will list my 2010's new year resolution! EXPECT A LONG BLOG! lolz

i promise to post up pictures from my mini-trip to boston, but i'm really tired right now so i will post up one or two pictures to give you a glimpse of boston. lolz!

when we hear "boston", what do we think of? i know when boston comes up, i think of the famous ivy league college: harvard. lolz
