Beautiful tarnished times

Don't you hate it when everything is going well and then you just screw it up in some way to make it go sour? It seems that quite too often I am doing that, just saying something or doing something I probably shouldn't be doing and not stopping myself before I do it so I end up "beating" myself up over it. I won't lie, its hard to keep this relationship going smoothly, or any relationship for that matter, its just the amount of effort I want to put in. This is a relationship I don't want to lose, so I'm going to work my behind off to keep it; even if that means staying up later than I should so we can solve the problem. If you all could, just pray for my girlfriend and myself. I really do believe she is the one, but it will be a while before anything concrete can happen.

ON the work front, it appears that God has started to line things up for me working at the church. I am really excited and can't wait to see what God has instored. It will probably be I.T. and several various jobs as well as "interning" for the worship pastor (my girlfriend's dad) and the youth minister. If things go well, I will be headed back to school in the summer and start working on my bachelors degree for music and then my masters after that. FAFSA help me out. God help me out even more!

Well I must prepare for classes, I must get myself in the teaching mode.

string issues

I broke another string last night. I don't know why it keeps happening so I am going to get some cheaper strings that are just as good. I can get three sets for the price of one set I usually get.

I hope this well help, until I can find the root of the problem in the guitar.

Okay, talk to you soon!

the need for space...heaters

hehe...I got the chills last night and it wasn't fun. It formed some itch in my throat and near my lungs and I was coughing all night. I'm better now but still a little cold. ITs finals this week for school so it shouldn't be too hard.

I'm going to be talking to the pastor today about next year and possibly working at the church and going to school at the same time. I'm not ready to leave this area yet (single at least) and still don't know where I want to go.

Take care this week!

Seek God and He will reveal Himself to you!

Looking for the future

I'm tired today. I don't think its from me staying up way too late, no I don't think that at all. Okay, actually I do, I'm going to try to go to bed early tonight (very unlikely scenario). I'm going to schedule an appointment with my pastor and talk to him about maybe a future job at the church rather than at the school (the school and church are in the same place) and then going to school as well to start getting music classes out of the way.

I guess some of you TMC grads and currents are wondering why I didn't major in music while I was there. I guess the answer is, I didn't want to; I do now and thats what matters, I guess its another 5 years in school again. woohoo.

Please pray that I'll stay focused on what I have to do this year in terms of responsibilities. The focus needs to stay on teaching until it is done. Then I can do what i need to.

Write to you laterz

Looming ahead

finals for the students are coming up next week. I always thought the student [being one at the time] had it tough. Studying for 7 test and stressing out for the week. I've come to realize how much teachers do before and after the testing time. Grading and prepping; if there were only three of me, I think I could it all on time.

Danger Will Robinson

I would have posted last night, but today came too fast. Today went better than I had expected. Thankyou Father for the good day you gave me. After school was done, I got about two and a half hours worth of work done (in which I still have 2.5 more to go) and was finished by 6:30, so I should have gotten 3 hours done. Went to dinner with my girlfriend, her family, and a mutual friend. But the fun was before that, went out to guitar center and went shopping for a bass guitar and a drum set. We didn't pick up a drum set but we ended up with a bass guitar and an amp to go with it. I'll post an image of it in a moment. Its an OLP and pretty good, we got it for 200 bucks and and amp for another 200. So all in all it wasn't a bad deal. Then we went back to the family's house and my girlfriend and I played video games until 11:30. Good thing I only have a seminar tomorrow! and I have I have a seminar tomorrow.

Well with that said, I had better get to bed.

January 09, 2006

Welcome to the second week of January. It already feels like its been a month since new years. The thought is I know what I want to do, but I don't see a way of getting there, especially when I'm semi-stuck in the job I have now (contract).

God please provide the way so I can serve you to all of your glory.

I think this is me 

January 7, 2006

Well, its been a fun day. My girlfriend and I went to my parents house and played Lord of the Rings: The return of the King on my X-box, we played until my thumbs were dead. We also went to a japanese resteraunt for dinner. I had teryaki Beef, although it was more sauted than teryaki. oh well. Got church tomorrow and I gotta wake up early for practice. It'll be good.

God, thank you for being faithful and being a great God. Father, I'm so glad you had a plan that would redeem us and that your glory would be displayed. Jesus, Thank you for your sacrifice in the Father's plan. Spirit, thank you for your conviction upon my heart.

Where am I

It is days like these that make me wonder am I doing what at this school. God is this where you want me to be? They said its gonna be easier. Its not and i'm feeling the pressure. Give me wisdom and open a path for me, I will try to be patient and open minded in what you would have me do.

Dreams that go bump in the night

I had a freakishly strange dream. I dreamt I was like a ghost hunter and my partner and I were in this haunted house with a little kid. I know, how unsafe is that? Anyway, we went through all the rooms finding remains of people who lived there before; fortunately no ghost showed up which is good because that would have woken me up in a fit. I actually think it had to do with watching skeleton key a couple nights ago even though it really wasn't that scary; but it could have had more of an affect of me than I thought it did.

Okay off to work...woohoo...sayanara

The night of January 4

Tonight was a good night. There was a lot of music starting with practice all the way through youth group and a practice before that. Wow...Wednesday is going to be busy.

It was my girlfriend's sister's eleventh birthday; she opened the gifts yesterday and we had homemade cake today.

Classes are rough right now, I still feel sick and I don't want to be here right now. I already have summeritis and its not even the end of winter. Teaching is alot harder than it looks...I found that out last year but its cropping up again.

Well, better go to bed now.

Goodnight all.

Tough night last night was

I can't think of a tougher night, being sick did not help at all. Lord, I wish I was better so I wouldn't be this "blah". Help me get through today since it won't be a day that will stop with school, practice, practice (for youth worship), and youth group. I don't know if I'll find the time I need to get my rest but I know I really need to trust in you. As cathy said, I want to claim it but it is so hard. Please help me claim the power of your name!

2nd post and a little more about me

Here is the second post today.

Let me get a little more about me out. I am Asian, Chinese to be specific. I have been on this planet for approximately 26 years. I am also a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ (who is God) died on the cross bearing the sins of the world and buried them as he was buried. Three days later, He came back to life and conquered death, giving every man the chance to live again as Christ lived again. And it is simple to have that life, as Peter told the jailor, "Call on the name of the Lord and you will be saved." I am currently a teacher at a Christian school in Vallejo, California where I teach math and science. I am also the director for the chapel music for the secondary chapels.

Okay, I have to get to work now. I'll talk to you later about the church I go to and tell you a bit about my personal life as well. oooh.

Later dayz

Hello and Welcome

It is lunch time at work and i decided to create this blog so I can keep some of my friends updated on what's been happening with me. Most of you who know me know that I am asian. So for now we will leave it at that. I must now prepare for my next class (which means I am a teacher). I will post another update this afternoon to introduce myself further and give my purposes for this journal.
