more of Ezekiel

Ezekiel 7:10-14
10 "The day is here! It has come! Doom has burst forth, the rod has budded, arrogance has blossomed! 11 Violence has grown into [b] a rod to punish wickedness; none of the people will be left, none of that crowd—no wealth, nothing of value. 12 The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller grieve, for wrath is upon the whole crowd. 13 The seller will not recover the land he has sold as long as both of them live, for the vision concerning the whole crowd will not be reversed. Because of their sins, not one of them will preserve his life. 14 Though they blow the trumpet and get everything ready, no one will go into battle, for my wrath is upon the whole crowd.
Ezekiel 7:19-20
19 They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be an unclean thing. Their silver and gold will not be able to save them in the day of the LORD's wrath. They will not satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs with it, for it has made them stumble into sin. 20 They were proud of their beautiful jewelry and used it to make their detestable idols and vile images. Therefore I will turn these into an unclean thing for them.


I just cant get enough of this book. alice & i are having so much fun doing bible study. :-)
God is just so poetic in the first couple of verses. it makes it worthwhile to read the bible.

the second set of verses reminds me that you know what?
when God comes back, money is not gonna matter; not ipods, not cell phones; nothing

"do you think i can say, 'meow' to God & He'll laugh?" - me
"well yeah, He has a great sense of humor" - alicegirl

Burn for Healing!

we prayed for this guy in a wheelchair after watching expelled on saturday night. during the praying, i didn't give a care in the world who was watching us. i was asking God to heal this man that night. that didn't happen, buttt. something did happen though. i felt God's presence there with us while we prayed. my heart started to ache so badly because of the love. God's heart was burning because we took a piece of our time to pray for a stranger in public. i started to say, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!" oh man. that was amazing. laura, the man's wife, came over after some time because she was tryna find him and prayed with us. keep them in your prayers. i don't remember the guy's name though so you can ask johnny or eric. yea.. God bless them. may their faith grow stronger through this experience! come on now people! the man said that he felt this warm feeling in his legs! or at least that's what i remember. Praise God.

i saw a blue jay up close today and it didn't fly away from me. (=

^ new entry, finally.



As I gaze into your eyes, all of my troubles fade away.
As if you haven't done enough, your last impressions make my heart sway.



Ezekiel 2:9-10
9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
Ezekiel 3:1-3
1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Ezekiel 3:5-7
5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel- 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate.
Ezekiel 3:12-23
(too long) lol :]
Ezekiel 4:5-6
5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the house of Israel. 6 "After you have finished this, lie down again, this time on your right side, and bear the sin of the house of Judah. I have assigned you 40 days, a day for each year.

boardmeeting (dont ask)

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F50A12F73C59127A93C3A9178DD85F4D8585F9

I have tons of time on my hands, unfortunately. and this is what i found while i am doing a paper, reading your blogs, and coughing until i can't breathe. yes. this is getting so ridiculous. they are going to ..... i can't even say it. we need to pray hard for this world.

for those of you who know Rudolph (or RJ), i saw him today and got his number. let's see if we can all get together at pasadena college and start something; maybe even a revival. im excited. im starting to get super motivated to meet up. i think im actually going to buy boards soon and hopefully have enough markers and stuff to fill it up nicely with stuff like, "can i pray for you?" and "free hugs" and such so i can bring it to school sometime and just hold it up. if you wanna join me, just talk to me about it. comment me here, text me, call me, msn me, aim me.

joy, when was the meeting that you asked me if i wanted to go with you? i hope it's not when i have class. x_x that'd suck. i only got out early today because i had a paper to write which i did not intend on doing this past weekend because i was so lazy. i think the laziness is gone now. im happy about that.

so i finished three seasons of the office and that stuff is hilarious. i loved it. gonna start season four some time this week hopefully. if not, next week most definitely. ok i go do paper now. bye bye! oh and i got a C in Chemistry 2A. nice huh? x) im so happy about that.

p.s. i miss my grandma.

Rev. 11:6-7

today was a totally different kind of service. after a little worship, jack said that he wasn't going to say much. but instead, we're gonna go out and evangelize. when jack told me before service, i was soooo excited about it. i couldnt wait to get out there and do it. jack told me to go with alice, even though i think i was suppose to go with jennifer. i dont remember. funny that i didnt obey jack and yet i did. hahaha. anyways.. alice, jay, irene, sam, and i got grouped together and the place we were assigned to was arcadia high school.

i was a bit surprised to see that there were people at school on a sunday. i thought to myself, "why are they here?" i mean.. not the whole athletic part of the school, but the other side of the school. but then again, they could have came for the game which i think they were practicing at the time we were there so it kind of makes sense. so as jay shared earlier today, the health office (me), the grass area (alice), and the cafe (jay), were right next to each other. it kinda made a V or a triangle. but anyway.. alice and jay shared today and i thought i would share but for some reason i just felt like blogging it instead. i never really liked speaking in front of a lot of people. it freaks me out.

i got revelations chapter 11 verse 6-7.
"These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them." - Rev. 11:6-7.

"ohh thats heavy" - jennifer. hahaha you can say that again. x_x

i wanna go back to rb

this world is not what it use to be. as i observe the surroundings many times a day, it looks unfamiliar now. the people, the scenery, the weather, and even the sound of the wind blowing into my face is all foreign. its like im living on a new planet and the people there are still the same, but somehow, they're just totally different and deformed in many ways. the people here, their world still revolves around the immaturity of their old lives, where fun was something they couldnt live without. i look at the people that i use to know and i cannot understand their so called language anymore. what they say, what they do, what is the meaning of those actions? or is there no meaning whatsoever? i see all the pollution of the modern day technology and it gives me this sense of incapability. its like i dont belong here in the world we know. i belong somewhere else. i belong with God. i belong with people who is in the same world as i am in. i belong with my rb crew. and even sometimes i feel like i dont belong with my church friends. its not that they dont give me this sense of belonging, but its just that when im with them, i have this limitation of what i can do, which is weird because its suppose to be different, i assume. yes, they tell me, "you can do anything you want," but it just doesnt seem that way to me. but when im with my rb crew, i really can do whatever i want. God's the same way. when i am with Him, i can do whatever i want (trust me, nothing bad) and He'll be there, just to be with me. maybe its that satisfaction that jack always talks about. that we always need something more. or it could be totally different. i dont need anything more other than God Himself. i just need to be with the people i feel most compatible with, people i feel safe with, no matter how unsafe they could be. and yes that is scary at times. i trust my church friends, dont get me wrong, but it's too safe. haha.. what's life without risks? i use to hear that all the time and i never got it. i've always wanted to be safe at all times, but as i grew up, i realized that everything is dangerous so it really shook me. its easy to say that you love something and yet its hard to say that too. i can easily say how much i love God, my church friends, and my rb crew, but it's harder to say it when im with my church friends more than my rb crew. why is that? i dunno if any of this makes any sense to any of you, but like all of us, or most, we have mixed feelings from time to time and it's just one of those things where you cant really explain, not because you dont know the reason really but its because it's just too complicated to say in words. some might say that thats never the case, i say HA! there are times when i really cannot describe something. or else i would. right? i've gotten to the point where i had to really think about who are the people in my life that make me and my heart feel free.


God & darin.
im in looooove.
& my head hurts.

rb crew

so yesterday, angel, april, and i went to redondo beach around night time after a full day of different places. ive got to say this spring break is the best ive ever had in my life. i want to thank angel for driving us and thank God that her gas did not run out. by the time we got home, it was nearly half full. half of the gas that we lost were due to U turns xD ah, fun. i also want to thank april for coming with us because i havent seen her in two months and we couldnt even hang at school. happy early birthday to you girllll. (:

i would have a picture of the rb crew, butttt we totally forgot about it. not all of them were there last night so next time. i promise i'll have a picture of them for you guys. they are like the best. hahaha the men in my life. -.- they're so lame and gay that i love them sooo deeply much. haha.. there's darin, the infamous best friend, tin, the quiet not so quiet anymore viet "brotha" of mine (we tight, yo!) and who also had a class to go to but came anyway (thank you!!), JEESUM evan, the guy who hasn't been in our lives for nearly a year cause of a "shark" (oh yes i believe you man dont worry hahahah), danny, the "hi i am danny" songwriter (you have GOT to hear it; i'll put it up somehow), and rikio, the person who ALWAYS messes with darin >[ (you will pay because im going to bring my scissors next time!). now, for the people who didnt get to come. MIKEY, the nerd and my pre-"friend" (as we impact people call it "friend" of so and so) who had a calc midterm, was it? to study for. God bless his motivation and brains. haha.. i really did want him to come though :( but i did get to see him! hahaha in his pjs. PUAHA.. love your pj's man. they're sooo....you. the kidnap didnt go so well. *cough danny and rikio cough* and there was german, who had a class and couldn't make it. i guess he's the schoolboy when it comes to him and tin. i believe they were in the same class. hahahah. those dorks. n_n

AHHHH I LOVE THEM.


my promise was met. i came. it was fun. and i miss them now. hahaha. angel and april thought they were cool too. dude they were freaking hilarious last night. probably cause rikio and danny were there. but without mike and german, it's just so normal. hahaha.. OH YA! tin ate this HUGE plate of roasted chicken i think, fries, and a piece of a cake. BUT IT WAS A LOT. when tin's plate came, darin was like poking me and i didnt know what he was doing. i asked him, "what?" and he's like pointing at tin's plate and i was like ".....omg" hahhaha angel and april were totally amazed and shocked by how much tin ate. but it was typical since he didnt eat ANYTHING the whole day. hahahaha

"how was dinner?" - anyone
"i wanna throw up" - tin


thats what tin actually said after darin was talking about it. "what would be the typical answer if we asked tin how was dinner was for tin to say that he'd wanna throw up" hahaha and he did say it. im still surprised that tin speaks more now than before. awww :) allow me to say how much i love them again. LOL

whisper of...

"Even though I can't see it, I can feel it. Like the wind, you're beautiful without me. I become reminded of you, just with the word beautiful... When I feel tears are about to fall, I lie on the sand, And look up at the sky about me. Somehow the clouds take away my worries, Helping me answer my own questions. I'm here for you. I'm thankful for being able to do everything for you..." - dong bang shin ki's "whisper of..."

korean translation: Boiji anhado nukkil so isso baramchorom nul na obshin arumdaumdo gujo arumdabdanun dano sogesoman to ollassulgoya gakkum uljoghal temyon more wie nuwo ne nundongjae damgyojidon hanul todaninun gurumi sogsagidud gonnejuodon jaggo khun gomindul ijen al god gatha naui nol nol wihe hal su inun modungod gujo gomawo

Swani

Dear Heavenly Father, I just thank You for Swani, Lord. She has this chronic disease called endometriosis and its already at stage 4 which is pretty bad. Lord, I pray for Your Kingdom to fall upon her whole body, especially her abdominopelvic area so that the pain of it, the tissues there that are causing this agonizing pain, and the whole entire disease that she has to pass away because Lord, in Your Kingdom, there is no such thing as diseases or pains. Let Your Kingdom fall upon her, reign down upon her whole body and cleanse it with Your Holy Spirit, Your mercy, and Love. In Your name, Jesus, I command Your Kingdom to fall, I command for this disease to fade away. Lord, I pray that when Swani goes to the doctor's for a check up, the doctors will be terrifiedly amazed because You healed her Lord and just as I say this prayer, You are healing her right this instant! Lord, we thank You. Your love and mercy is unfailing, it goes beyond the universe. We praise Your name. Lord, bring comfort, awareness, and joy into Swani's heart so that she may love You with all of it. I'm not praying this prayer to raise up more testimonies. I'm praying this prayer because Swani is a good friend of mine and I do not want to see her this way. She hasn't even known You personally yet. Through this experience, let her know how much You love her. You've given me another chance, a test maybe, to show You how much love I have for the people around me because I regret and feel guilty for not praying for my dad three years ago. I appreciate this and I am taking this opportunity to cry out to You, asking You to heal Swani. I'm not asking this out of sheer satisfaction of my desires for being "good," I'm asking because this person isn't saved yet and I want her to see Your love more clearly than she has ever did. I'm asking You to simply manifest her heart into Your hands and wrap her around Your wings of love and protect her with the blood You shed to wash away all her sins. In Your name, I pray, Amen. <3

Swani Poo: aww thank you

not miserable anymore. sick, but happy. redondo, here i come! ♥

Thursday, April 10, 2008

hmph

things have been busy lately & i must stick to my plans.
whom i make plans with first, stays that way. i hope you can understand that.


dont patronize me.
my heart (i) will explode.
tired of being a nice jasmine.
when the time comes, you'll see a different person.
i dont know how it'll be.
everyone is against me again.
rude tones, selfish comments, & people who ignore me.
can this world ever be... ha. no. thats a stupid question.
this world can never be better. they need Jesus.
its become so obvious.

im being negative again. ughhh.


im miserable.
dont know when i can openly say how much i love everyone. you guys make it so hard for those words to slip out of my mouth when it seems so easy to say. esp with guys. they'd take it another way. thats why not much information gets to someone from another. its like a barrier of low self-esteem or immatureness or something else. there's a whole list. but of course. i can easily say how much i love Jesus because He loves me. you guys don't need to tell me every time you see me that He loves me because I know. i just wish you guys can be more considerate like Jesus is. im learning more and more about each of my friends. how they really are sometimes. its fascinating. its also very heartbreaking. reality really sucks us dry doesnt it? i doubt anyone can go on with a conversation without asking about school, majors, classes, grades, etc. it's just one of those things where it's the first and last choice to talk about it. why is that? why is it so easy to talk about those things than talking about Jesus? srsly. i rather talk about Jesus! as a matter of fact, i loooove talking about Jesus. school and those things, not so much. if you havent noticed already, i try not to talk about it. the only time i'll talk about it is when i know you are so intrigued with your passion whether its writing, the arts of many kinds, photography, economics, real estate, or architecture. if you're intrigued, its a good thing. if you're intrigued, you'd be happy to talk about it. if i asked you something thats about something dreadful to you, wouldn't that conversation go down hill? its a depressing thought. and it seems that most of us, nearly all, bring that kind of stuff up in a conversation right away. find out what that someone likes first. dont jump ahead to the typical questions. its boring, dramatic, and depressing. at least... its for the people i talk to and myself included. i also come across optimistic people who see it in a different sense. good for you. thats a good thing too. im glad you're that way... and now i forgot my train of thought. oh wells. wow. i didnt even mean for this to go into depth. just wanted to get some things out. man this doesnt even satisfy what i truly wanted to say in my heart. x_x how sad is that? i think im going to be miserable for my entire life if i keep doing dental hygiene but no one cares. i mean i know that God cares and i need to pray. pray pray pray. im so restless. it hurts and i wanna cry. ahhh and its not even stress at the moment either! cussing wont help but i feel like i want to but i cant. V____V all this frustrration bottling up isnt good. but no one is around to hear me scream. i want to scream. i want to go to a place where its all distant and quiet and just scream my lungs out. somewhere no one can find me. a secret place that only God and i know of. and where is that? i have no clue. sorry `bout this entry.

God, i want my joyfulness back.



lost of interest in things.
jasmine.

I had a dream. In the dream, Jesus did the peace sign to me.

Get Simple :)

yesterday during the evening session's worship, God just put like a vision in my heart that Radical Jam will be as big as Hillsong and probably even more. It'll move nations and touch people's hearts. When He told me this I was like nearly in tears because I was sooo happy for them. I saw them on a stage playing their own songs and millions and millions of people around. It was just totally awesome! :D LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.


I was playing tennis with Jesus. We played for a while but then I got tired. Jesus was holding the racket, bouncing the ball up and down. He said to me, "Oh, come on Jasmine! Play with me some more!" I was like, "But I'm so tired now Jesus. I can't." He chuckled a bit and said, "Yes you can! Come on!" and right there and then, I had this energy to play. x) My earth father had always wanted me to play tennis because I had a good arm and earlier, Annie said to me, "Oh so He was symbolizing your dad!" Interesting... anyway, when I got home, I was in the restroom. After I washed my face, I said to Jesus, "Let's play tennis again sometime!" xD


There was this black forest with like purple leaves at the top. God asked me, "Are you willing to go through troubles (meaning the pitch-black forest) to get to me?" I stood there for a moment thinking. I probably didn't explain this very well because I was nervous. If you know me, I get so nervous speaking in front of more than 5 people. So I was standing there for like a minute and I looked up and said, "I will." So as I was walking through the forest, it was scary because it was all black, but at the same time, I had confidence to just get through this and get to God even faster. I probably said some other things, but.... ehhh.


Let's get simple.
I'm gonna miss Debbie and Mark soooo much!!
Today was spectacular. Fun fun fun.
So many testimonies. So much encouragement.
I have a longing for You, Jesus!!! Come! More, Lord, more!!!
Would You satisfy my heart today?

I still have to study for anatomy, do the rest of my math homework, and revise my essay.
That sounds like soooo much fun right? AHHH GOD TAKE IT ALL.
