Out into In

When someone starts out a relationship with a certain individual, it is not known or popular from the start. Since the relationship that the two has is fresh and barely noticeable, no one really cares. But throughout time as the couple gets more serious and they are acting upon their words people will start to notice that they are together and no one dares to interfere. Then if everything works out for the two love birds or couple, they will soon get marry and they will be a legitimate couple and the ring that they both wear is the symbol that they will show the world. This is exactly how God wants a relationship us, just some few adjustment to it!
God does not ask us to be in a relationship but we already are! God does not want us to love, and depend on our self to do great things for Him, but He wants us all to know, to recognize, and to accept His greatest love who is Jesus Christ Himself. Throughout time, people have fallen away from Him, used Him, cheated Him, and lied to Him. Anything you can think of in a relationship that will happen has already happened to God already. In this sense, God still loves us all unconditionally even though He knows we are loyal or obeying Him. That is who God is, all loving, all merciful, all powerful, always forgiving, and the Creator.

A Change

Since I am a student at Bible University, I am helping out at an Church. The Hmong Christian Missionary Alliance Church of Chico. I have helped this ministry for almost a year or more now. The team consist of 6 single male students and a married couple. We all have devoted our weekend and time for this small church for the past year and God has done so much and blessed this church so much. We knew that God meant it for us to come and help this church in Chico because there were two brothers who open their heart and passions to serve their home town church. It was a blessing to work with all these people who devoted their time and heart for Jesus' ministry.

But this year, I have changed direction and after countless prayers I have decided to go even farther then Chico to help another Hmong Church in Oroville, Ca. It is 30 minutes away from Chico and 1hr 1/2 from Redding. The drive to Chico is not too bad, I am pretty use to it so driving an extra 30 minutes is perfectly fine. I am not the only that is helping at this Church but a ministry team from Simpson called: S.M.Y.L.E. (Simplifying Ministry to Young Leaders Ever where) is helping out as well. They plan to go and help the youth, encourage them, equip them, and establish a solid foundation of friendship and relationship so we can grow spiritually together!

It was hard deciding whether to stay with the Chico ministry team or not. But I saw that God had already blessed them with the team was suitable and well equipped. They had their own praise and worship band all ready to praise God in every Sunday. The team is blessed with many talented people, gifts of playing multiple instruments, teaching, discipleship, encouraging, and evangelizing. The Chico is surely blessed, so they are blessing Chico Hmong Alliance Church. I am happy to have been apart of that ministry and well help, whenever I am called or ask by them. So right now I am in a new ministry, hoping that God will use me, and that His blessings will be poured on to the Oroville Hmong Church. I know God is blessing them already. This change, it is through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that will empower me, the S.M.Y.L.E. ministry to bless this Church.

O God, we give you praise, Glory, and Honor.

..show time..

We are like flowers that are being unfold into different life experiences and challenges.We might be put into hard challenges in life, but we have to remember that God is in control and he wants us to let Him be in the center of everything. We will meet new people daily so we should let them see the true beauty of ourselves to them. Let the world know that this beauty that you contain and have is undying and everlasting because our God in heaven has bestowed you his beauty also. We have to be able to accept our different beauty because God wants us to shine in various ways for him so the people in the world who have not seen it yet can be able to see it. Flowers are sometimes thrown away because they did easily or just too fast. We need to grow spiritually together, feeding one another abundantly with the word, and Love of God. Sometimes people don't see what you have to offer them and what you have already offered them. In this case don't feel bad because it is their lost. Do keep encouraging them spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. GOD is always at work in us.
