bringing in 2010

We had all of the family at our house for New years. It was good to be with everyone. We played Somewhere over the Rainbow as one of the activities for the night and then Ivan shared a Biblical devotion with everyone. The Lord has shown Himself faithful and strong to us on our behalf. May the Lord continue give us the grace to live this next year for Him. :)

post reception.

On the 27th of December my cousin had a reception party. All of us cousins thought up a little musical (many of my cousins have been gifted musically) presentation to make the time special. We went to a restaurant and many Aunties and Uncles came. All of the family worked hard to make the day special for Kuya Ian and Ate Lou and their parents.

Marriage is definitely a commitment that lasts on the promises of God and in His love and grace and it is a decision for a commitment for life on this earth, till death does one part. How important it is to seek the Lord in making such life changing decisions.
Praise our Lord Jesus who loves His bride the church and is coming back for her!

Christmas Eve with the Family

We had a good Christmas Eve this was at my Aunt's house on my mom's side though not all of the Family was there (Ivan came 3 days after Christmas day and Iza came back on the 31st, just in time for ) New Years.　I'm so blessed to have such a loving family by the grace of God.

CCBC Okinawa Reunion Western Hemisphere status

This past Wednesday my brother, mom, and I went to Pastor Tommy's home church in Corona to visit and fellowship with Pastor Tommy and the Living Water Church people we also had the opportunity to see some of the few missionaries whom we had met this past year in Okinawa who themselves came back from where ever country the Lord had called them to for a season. It was a good time of fellowship and theworship and the Word and prayer with one another. Truly we walk by faith and we must trust in God and the promises that He made and makes through His Word.

Back in Cali

I wish i could post a picture but I don't have a working camera at hand for the time being. It most definitely has been good seeing old friends and family within these past few days. Being out of a good schedule of studying and ministry now, I know that i may slowly become comfortable and lazy and forget the need to be in an attitude of prayer in my daily life so i know that all the more there is a need for me to continue to hold fast to the Lord and continue in thanksgiving for all that He's given me and not to be sucked into the ideals that whatever culture i am in tries to conform me too but to rely on God and be obedient.

Philippians 4:6 This is such good instruction for the believer and applies to the child of God for almost every frantic moment in life.
It is so good to know the good and one true God who know all even the number of hairs on my head.

taipei layover

God was good to provide for us during our (Anna, Joel, and my) 3 hour layover in the Taipei airport. We were looking fro outlets to plug into to charge computers (at least to charge mine) and we were blessed with this little niche. I think sometimes it's the small things that the Lord provides that is such a blessing because it is like the reassurance of His love that goes even to the details of our lives.

Leaving on a Jetplane [to Cali]

Goodbye Okinawa. God has been so graciously good to me this whole year. I look back now on how much the Lord has grown me and matured me in so many ways and i thank Him for His leading and comforting hand all along the way. I will definitely miss my brothers and sisters that i have grown, prayed, and ministered with. See you later. As children of God we always have the comfort of knowing that we will always see each other later.
