library

One time I took the kid to the library to use the free computer and get away from the heat.

After I finished using the computer and I went down the stairs from the second floor. I saw a blind man also went down the stairs ahead of me with his cane and he drop the tip of the cane on the floor without knowing it. So I immediately fast fetch the tip and tried to give it to him. But he was so fast then I finally caught him when we both almost to the first floor.

I called him out, excuse me, sir, you drop something, and I think that’s the tip of your cane. And he took the tip from me and thanks me. Then he was shy and said something more, oh! So you were trying to catch me so fast for this earlier.

At that moment I felt embarrassed, oh! So that’s why he went down the stairs so fast earlier when I tried to catch me. Because he cannot see me, he can only hear the footsteps that I made. And I must scare him. He must think what on earth someone was trying to catch me for?

And I memory suddenly went back to around 17 years ago. I’m not a believer yet, why and how those church friends so urgent to introduce their savior to me. I did not just refuse them. In my mind I even thought, they must have some pressures from church or pastor. And that’s why they so progressive.

I was just like the blind man that I help. I drop something that was supposed belong to me, the blessings from GOD, and didn’t notice it. I even had the doubt to those who were so patient and kind to me and trying to help me

Now I thank them for not giving up on this stubborn young lady years ago.

If you were a believer, don’t give up spreading the GOOD NEWS. But just be careful about the way that you persuade the nonbelievers. You don’t want to scare them away only because the way that you’re trying to.

And if you were a nonbeliever, GOD is so good, that’s why your friends or family, they just cannot waste anytime to get what is belong to you back to you, the blessings, mercies, graces… etc. from GOD.

high school musical 3

High school musical 3 senior year is a musical movie. Again I like musical performances.

Purse your dream; seize your youth while you’re still young and powerful. Don’t wait and waste what you have and regret later.

rabbits and tent

Yesterday I have the kid to setup our old tent, so we can bring the rabbit one by one inside the tent and play with them.

But it’s not that we were expected. First the rabbits still not quite like to be held by us. Second this tent is really old, so some of the black plastic materials come out very easy, it dirt both me and my son also the rabbits. And it’s very hard to get rid of them.

alone

Yesterday both the kids have events to attend. At first I feel sad, alone again without kids at home. Then I start to pray for a lot of things, I clean the house a little bit, make some phone calls, and also make a plan about if they both will come home late. I feel ok and of course I always feel very happy about when they have activities to attend with friends.

Actually yesterday I did have an event to attend myself, but I refuse to go. I don’t want to leave them alone. That’s funny right? It’s ok to have the kids attend their events. But I’ll never want to leave them if I could.

left behind

Left behind is a Christian movie. I heard about it before, yesterday I was shown on TV, but I only get the watch the beginning. It was a shocking movie. I’ll try to find out when it’ll play again so I can watch it all.

It’s in Christian’s view point of the end of the world. Suddenly all the believers disappear and left behind of all their belongings including their clothes on them and their love ones. In this case they all went to heaven with Jesus.

Most of the kids and some of the adults were missing. It’s like in the bible says we should have a heart of kids, pure and no doubt.

When I watch it, my memory suddenly brought me back around 19 years ago. That’s when I’m not a believer yet. And also was pregnant with my fist one. My ex is very into church things, worship, service and everything with the church. I was so mad at him, not just that I thought when kind of GOD that you were believes in? You left behind your pregnant wife alone all the time for the church.

And now I’m a believer myself. With some other reason this marriage ends years ago.

I have no complained and still have the faith in HIM.

That’s how a believer should be very careful about your behave after your close family or friends know you’re a Christian.

Also in the movie after that many people were missing it create a huge mess and disaster. I’m not sure when a nonbeliever saw this movie what were they think about the faith? They’ll become a believer or leave this faith further.

not a fan 2

I finally get to watch the TV program not a fan from the beginning to the end yesterday. It’s just a short 30 minutes TV show. And I think the subtitle should be are you a fan or a follower of Jesus?

It has a pastor in the background telling the story. There’s a saying, often time we raise our child in the church, not in Christ. And that’s why a lot of kids leave the church right after they graduate from high school and go to college. This is like a simple but real answer for our puzzle.

There’s a book called, sticky faith. It talks about the same question and answer for it. And there’re separate versions for both teens and parents. And that answer it all. And how to adjust our way the raise our kids, we need a lot of practice of it. At the same the kids need a willing heart too.

In that TV program, it’s a sad ending. The father raises his kid exactly the wrong way, which he thought that’s the right way. So there’re a lot of conflicts between father and son.

Often time the father will say to the kid, according to which exact bible verses you should do or not do this or that. He try to help but using a condemn way and he, himself didn’t live out Jesus. That’s how his kid once he gets out of high school, he finally can have his own will to make choice, he leave the church and everything with it.

Of course that’s the most important answer but not the only one. But I believe that if we can live out Jesus. Show the kids how important and crucial to have this kind of faith in Jesus. They will be a followers not just fan or Jesus.

In the end of the story, the son try to tell him what‘s the right way to do and also forgive him. But the father somehow didn’t really accept it. Even when his son die from the heart attack, the father cry out to the GOD, say that I have done what you told me to why are you still take my son away.

macaroni & cheese

The other day my older son told me that he want to try to make macaroni & chesses. I’m surprised and pleased. And we went shopping for the ingredients that he needed. And then he made it for us. It’s delicious. I hope he find some other food that he want to try some other time soon.
