Confirmation

As some of you might have heard from me, this past week has been extra tiring and stressful. I stupidly registered late for spring and couldn't get all the classes I want. So the first week of Spring semester I was literally running around school trying to get classes, even if they're not classes that I'd need. In the end, I got whatever I could, but it's still not enough. So far, I only have 9 units out of 12. After I add the badminton team, I'll have 11. Yay me. Hah. Anyways, I've been asking God for more peace, patience, confidence, financial breakthrough, and just let Him take control. I got my confirmation today; along with some other things I've been thinking about too. When Jack asked the School of Disciples to come up to the front so they can prophecy over us, I asked God who I should go to first. Here's the order and what they said to me from God:

1. Aaron (God told me to go to him first):
- Something to do with the arts.
- Not necessarily painting per say.
- Writing is much deeper than the arts for me.
- My writing will be used to touch other people; nations.
2. Peter (My new friend lol):
- God told him that He wanted to tell me 3 things:
1. I have a lack of confidence. God wanted to tell me that I should be more confident in myself to do things because He is there by my side which was something I've also been asking Him about; to be by my side everyday and guide me through these tough times. I was very shocked already.
2. He'll give me more friends, not for social purposes, but to share to them God's love. He says that I'm the bridge from people to Jesus. I'll be the one to guide them to God's love and have them saved. (I forgot how he said it. x___x)
3. God said that I need to be more closer to Him in order for me to receive more of His blessings to pour onto other people. The closer I get to Him, the more peace and love I'll receive and give to others; and with that peace and love, I can impact those around me, giving them God's love. (Like I said, I forgot how he said it.)
3. Joy:
- Peace
- Get closer to God
- I'm the bridge (Like what Peter said)
- Write more; be more creative and such.
4. Tina
- Financial breakthrough: I was having some financial problems.
- Write more poems! It'll impact so many people; it'll be strong.
- Be more confident and competent (I think) in my writing.

Two more things happened, since it is almost at the end of the day.
1. I was pretty much afraid to tell my dad my schedule this semester. Earlier when I told my mom that I won't be having school on Mondays and Wednesdays, she was whatever about it, like always. Then she told my dad later on, typical, my dad came in like my usually does when something doesn't go his way. (You know Asian parents). So I explained it to him and everything. At first he was kind of in that disappointment mood, but later on it was kind of funny (to me at least). He took it better than I thought he would. Here's how the conversation went for the funny part:

My dad: So you don't have enough units right now?
Me: I only have 9 units.
My dad: So you basically haven't had enough every semester cause I remember you kept telling me that you have enough units. Did you lie to me?
Me: I did have enough units for the other semesters. I usually got like 12 or more units. It's just this semester I didn't. Plus they cut a lot of classes down because of the budget cut.
My dad: *Sigh.. thinks about it*
Me: Unless..... you wanted me to take useless classes that I don't even need.
My dad: Yeah, you should. Just so you can get enough units.
*Pause: O_O Is this my dad I'm talking to!?*
Me: That's what I tried doing already. I got what I could, but now they're closed too.

2. I have already impacted two people so far this year. It hasn't even been that long since 2009 have started. You saw this other post about Kate and now, it's my cousin. We were JUST talking like 30 minutes ago; talking about getting into Dental Hygiene program and such. She told me that I should keep my grades up and such like that. I have to be honest and say that my grades are average so far. I really am trying my best and if they don't accept, it's alright. So I said to my cousin:

Me: It's ok. God will provide for me when the time comes.
Uyen: That's good thinking. Good mentality. I need to have that mentality.
Uyen: How are you so confident? I want to be more confident. Teach me how to be more confident.
Me: Trust me. Before service today, I was lacking so much confidence.


God is a good God. I am truly in love with Him. He listens.

p.s. I felt refreshed after that service and at ease. =]
p.p.s. Peter said that I gave him encouragement by this after I shared to those of you who came.

this is SUPER encouraging! You should share this testimony and pray for those who need the same breakthrough! You sure wanted, and God sure provided you with answers and confirmations! I can't believe you had 4 people prayed with you! Come on! Get as much blessing as you can =D
