2004年9月17日 上午10點03分08秒Here's an email i received from a rather...

From this email, i realised how little i do for my friends.... (Thanks Hyunie!!) I want to help you. I want to do more!!! But I want to do it in secret...

Here's how the email goes...

***

Hi~

Do you still remember me?

I'm Hyunie.. (or Frank)

We talked about how we could overcome telling the truth to our non-christian 

friends... remember?

I've tried emailing you while ago.. actually several months ago.. but for some 

reason I thought about you, and here I am, sending you another email, hoping 

you would receive this one..

I've gotten into a small ditch the other day.. and was convicted about it. What 

was it you ask..?

To my non-christian friends, I wanted to find the best way to have them hear 

about the Gospel. and what I did was I corrected them about this and that.. 

told them it was a sin to do this and that.. What I realized was that I was no 

better off than the pharohs in the old testament.. trying to stick to the 

bible, do's and don'ts... 

But that's not what God wants us to do... As christians, we're given the 

freedom to do what we like, and what we want to do. How do we know what we can 

do and what we can't do? Jesus said, "Love me with ALL your heart, and love 

your neighbors as you love yourself"

So maybe, instead of me trying to figure out what is ok, and not ok, but to 

trust Jesus with all our problems~ :)

to tie into my friends, one of my friend IMed me on AIM last night at 2am... 

she was backslid, then came back, then completely left God once again.. and I 

found out when I talked to her last night... while she was drunk (underage).

She kept saying sorry.. But I made her realize that I cared for her 

nonetheless.. 

2 ways we can try to change our friends to Christianity.

First of all, let them realize that Christianity is not a religion. We're not 

here to be religious... but it's a intimate relationship with God. So we can 

pick either way to do this:

1. To pray for them secretely without letting them know that you are praying 

for them. Bible tells us that, "Blessed is he/she who pray in secret."

2. Have you ever thought about sacrificing something for your friends? Fasting, 

or taking more timeout to meet God, or spending time with one at a time, etc. 

If you can fast, then God will definately bless you for it. Taking more time 

out to be with God, he'll give you more time to do things more efficiently.

There are tons of other ways, but i think these are the easiest to do.. and 

sometimes.. it'll take a long time.. but what I can be sure of, is that they'll 

definately turn themselves to God before they part this world.

Whew. I feel convicted myself.. I haven't done many of these.... I think i'll 

start today. I'm going to fast 5 of 6 meals I'll be eating this weekend. and 

during the time I eat, I'll spend quality time with God. (btw, if you're going 

to fast, tell your brothers/sisters in christ, so that they may keep you 

accountable)

Oh! another thing you can definately do, is if you have the ability to speak in 

heavenly language, then pray in tongues for at least an hour a day... You'll 

see things beyond what you normally see by the end of the month at LEAST, 

guaranteed.

I think I wrote too much.. so I'm going to let you off, and let you decide on 

what you want to do~ If you've already tried these, then do them over and over 

and over and over... That's how it works. Well, it's 1:46am now.. so I'm off to 

bed, and I will pray that this email gets to you, and also pray for your 

friends. :]

Have a great weekend, NaNa~

After what seemed like a long time of sadness, i'm very happy today.

Infact, i'm so happy these days that i can't contain it. Everything seems to all fall in place. i don't mean work or friendship or love or any other matter. I'm still being dumped with work everyday, and love life... well, what love life? I got dumped last month... But I really don't care.

I'm really enjoying my time making myself a better person, there are so many things to enjoy and love... just the people around me, the cool breeze, the sky... even that's enough... ...

2004年8月29日 上午7點59分09秒Some dreams are fake... Some dreams are real.

Some dreams are fake... Some dreams are real... it doesn't really matter.....because in the end Dreams keep me alive...

in that time... i don't know why the tears came... but i didn't cry... i had to swallow them and smile... pretend i'm okay... and that's the scary thing i guess.. getting used to faking a smile...

someone once said.. smiling is a wonderful thing... even if its a lie... but i don't think so. i think smiling is a wonderful thing.. but not when its not true... i think when you're upset.. you should just let it all out... let them all ...
