Who will you vote for?

It's time to VOTE!! First of all I am really excited about this year, why? because I finally registered to vote. It took a while for me to vote, roughly around 5 years! (sorry) There is a huge buzz around this years election and frankly both major candidates leave me wanting to submit an absentee ballot. Although it's a hard decision to make I think I have come to a conclusion, I will be voting for...haha, anyways this vote is not a laughing matter and I'm not sure where you stand either with Obama or with McCain just understand this, that as faithful Christians and Americans we owe it to our country and to God to vote! so let you voice and convictions be heard Novemebr 4th!!
I had a hard time coming to my conclusion but here are a couple of blog post that helped me define my conclusion:

1. Cameron Strang- Founder and Editor of Relevant (One of the BEST post, pretty long though)
2. Perry Noble- Senior Pastor of New Spring church (This post is in your face, no corners, just straight to the point!)
   
3. Ed Young- Founder of Ed Young Ministries, has this series online or on itunes called "Politicked" (He says he will tell you who you should vote for, this will be interesting)

I'm Back

I took a loooooooong break from blogging and a lot of other stuff, but I'm back! Just want to say thank you for all of you who were able to shoot up a prayer for me, I felt it, and for that i know can say that I am healed, Thank You Jesus!
Well where do I start....It's been an amazing week and we going to be rolling into another great weekend starting this Friday with our very own Harvest Party here at CWC Milpitas also we will be starting our new series this Sunday, "30 days to live." (rumor has it that Troy & I will be speaking)

Before I can post anything else I just want to share my heart a bit with what God has been dealing with me lately:

God has put the book of Exodus in my heart, just to read and study. So far so good, I'm glad I did because I am learning new insights from Moses. I’m coming to believe that Moses is my favorite bible character, besides Jesus you know. I am 6 chapters into the book and I want more! Yes I know the story, my mind already jumps to the finale but new things seem to be jumping and standing out. Moses was a great man, but it was Gods plan for his life that kept him aligned. "For every plan of God there needs to be a man (or woman) of God." How easy would life be if we all had a single road map with directions telling us what to expect and what steps to take, life would be easy, right? God gave us this life with a couple of mysteries that only we can figure out by taking those steps of faith. As of this point my life seems to be in a hazy journey where I'm not so sure of my next step, but I kind of like it because it forms a dependency on God. The book of Proverbs concludes that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the lord. Fearing him not like I fear Freddy Kruger but fearing him knowing that in him are all things and that without him my life will be a living nightmare. I need him, so I fear him. In a way my fear produces more faith, and the only way to please God is by faith!

Prayer Request!

Hey everyone I was battling in putting this post up but if I believe in Prayer why not? Well I'm asking your help in praying for some of my needs, if you can and have time shoot up a prayer for me, please!

• My throat- It's been killing me. I need a healing, and a quick one. I went to the doctors and they said I have a severe throat infection.
  
• A new job proposal- I was suprised to even be asked about this job opening but I truly believe it's all God, just been working with the company for 3 months. There is a lot to do here but if it's God's will the door will remain opened for me.
  
• School- missed a mid-term yesterday, but emailed the teacher hopefully he has as much grace as God does (maybe not).
• Our Harvest month- This is my 5th harvest month with CWC and I'm as excited as my first year. Pray that God will do a great might work in the souls that will get saved there.
  

Now What?

"They went past the first and second guards and came to the iron gate that separated them from the city. The gate opened by itself for them, and they went through it. When they had walked down one street, the angel suddenly left him." -Acts 12:10

Peter finally experiences freedom! The Angel of God leads him out of prison but all of a sudden disappears. Now What? I don't know but I could just imagine Peter asking himself that very question, "Now What God? you took me out of the first and second guards and we passed the gates of the prison, and now you just leave me out here in the middle of the streets, Now What?" Doesn't it feel sometimes like God is leading us, and we can feel it too, then all of a sudden He is no where in sight. I have experienced those moments myself, but I don't think God leaves us half way just because, but I think he plays a little game of hide and seek. He wants us to search more passionately, more intimately, and with more persistence. Just because God is doing a great work in our lives does not mean we have to let down our pursuit for him.

There will come times when I do feel like God has left me alone and I too might ask my self that question, "Now What?" but it's in those times where I have to remember Deuteronomy 31:8 It's these times where I have to remind myself that I am not alone, but GOD is on my side!

Lord I just want to say how grateful I am to be called your son, that even when I think you're not there and I may question your integrity, you are a man of your word and you say that you will never leave me nor forsake me. Forgive me for ever not believing you, I take this word as a reminder and as a word of comfort that lets me know you are with me and I am with you.
