after the steamboat...
i tried some new recipe and bake my mom's specialty cake
and it turned out well. Praise God!
haha..i prayed first before i started to cook.
thank God, all of them turned out well. hehe

and on the Thanksgiving that day, we went to Ps.Juan's house to have turkey....
because his house is kind of dark, or i can say, my camera not that advance, so the pictures looks dark..
but, it was a great thanksgiving dinner...

Faith Confession

In the name of Jesus, I am a believer , not a doubter. 

I believe God's Word. I am what the Word says I am. 

I have what the Word says I have.

I can do what the Word says I can do. 

In Jesus' name, i render ineffective every negative word I spoken,

every negative thing I have thought, 

every word and thought that has been contrary to the truth of God's Word.

From this moment forward, I will acknowledge only the good things that are in me in Christ Jesus.

I am the righteousness of God, a new creation. 

An heir of God and a joint.

Heir with Jesus.

I have been delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the Kingdom of God's dear Son.

I have been redeemed from the curse of the Law, 

redeemed from sickness and disease, poverty and death.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me. 

I am more than a conqueror.

He never leaves me nor forsake me,

I can overcome every situation in His name.

The faith of God resides within me and through it I have the victory that overcomes the world.

Thank you Father that I can have all these things. 

I believe it in my heart and I have released it with my mouth. 

So be it!!

It will surely come to pass.

In Jesus name I pray, amen!

what a powerful prayers. those are prayers of confession.

those prayers are from the Word, there are what God says...

so claim it and speak it!!!

when the Word dwell in your heart, let it speak it out

there is power in your tongue

There is a lot of His promises that waiting for us to claim it.

So, start from today, claim the Word of God

Don't just believe it. Act it and speak it out.

For your tongue can either release His Word or limited His word. 

Psalms 78 : 41 "Yes, again and again they tempted God,

         And limited the Holy One of Israel"

surely, we don't want to limit God's power. 

in order to activate His promises, we have to believe in our heart, take a step of faith and speak it out!!!

my awesome disciple

i just feel like wanted to upload her photo here...
just to keep it as memory
so that in the future, when i look back, i will smile deep in my heart about how God had place an awesome disciple in my life

my disciple went to another state teach for about 2 months...
so for this few weeks, i have my discipleship with her through skype
before this, we meet face to face every week
after she went to teach, we have changed our setting through skype in order we can continue our discipleship and update our life
and God is good, He allow us to be faithful to come for discipleship although we are apart from one another
so that we can learn His Word, grow, be disciple and more importantly update our life
She is such a wonderful discipleship leader
she is a woman who deeply in love with Jesus, a heart that consumed with fire for Jesus
a woman who feed God's word daily... a humble woman, a woman that will never take credit for herself, all the credit that she received, she will point it to God...
she will listen to my struggle, encourage me, teach me, pray for me, and more importantly are how to love God, how to walk with Jesus in the righteous way
i learn  a lot from her....is really a blessing of having her as my discipler
all in all, i have to thank God for His perfect plan that putting different people in my life =)

some of the pictures that i took secretly when we were skype-ing..hehe

she just got her hair cut...so cute...haha

 haha..the moment i took when she is talking. =p

this is the time while she was thinking..haha

talking..

oh, and she is a good cook too! she can bake, can cook, she can play piano, drum, guitar, bass and she cut her hair by herself!

she can do almost everything...haha

there are times that she cook satay ....("that's the way to survive in US for 9 years" quoted from her )

Praise God that one more week, she will be back and we can have discipleship face to face. haha =)

sharing is caring =D

misty edwards's song is always anointed and powerful, it can come to a point where by just listening to her worship, you will cry, feel convicted...is that intense... this is just a bit of taste only =p

Another video of my all time favorite worship leader in IHOP-KC -Jon Thurlow!!!!! haha

Knowiing

knowing that i have the BEST FATHER in the whole world, whole universe...
 who and what shall i fear, afraid?
Nothing!!
Nothing, because no matter what i did, what i earn, what i wear...
He still love me, He still forgive me....
He didn't look at how much i can earn, He didn't look at how much of degree i have,He didn't look at how much work i do...
What He cares of me is only whether my heart belong to Him or not. He cares my heart condition...
I have such a Merciful, Faithfull , good Father..
why i still fear?
insecurity is the key factor that hinder me from knowing the fact that i have a Best Dad in the whole world

start from now, whenever fear, negative thoughts trying to attack me, I should quickly turn my face to my Father
He longs for us to seek Him, depend on Him...
when i turn to Him, He will always give me peace, He will never late of attending my worries..
He is always there to hold me
even if i fall, i am certain that He will never let me hit the ground, He will be the only One that spare me, catch me...and hold me according to His timing
He is such a Best Father

Psalm 23 : 1 " The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. "
