i just wanted to come on here and say that i hope everyone is having a great summer vacation!
it is awesome to say that ever since i have been baptised God has been revealing to me so many things about myself.
Many of them i do not want to know but in the end....according to God's scriptures.....its for the best and i have to trust God's will not my own coz i know doing things my way gets me into trouble of different sorts =/
i also hope that everyone can pray that sisters are willing to come to God and that they can see their need for God because i see how much misery they are in living in the world and how much it effects all of the things and people that surround them in a negative way.
i hope all you stand firm in your faith!
love ya
=D

something not so encouraging happened to me
well, i have been saying for a while now that i am going to summer bridge at my university, but i am sad to say that I just found out that i am not..............................................the office that is in charge of the program never contacts me so i always have to call them.............................i called and they said that i am not on their database of attending, not even their waiting list...............................the office said that they had sent another form of application to all of the peole that were invited, i was invietd but never notified about things........................so apparently i just found out that my summer is going to be pretty open, im kinda sad, but i know that maybe it was for a reason.......................i guess i have to find something else to do this summere like get a job............God knows i need one

God is so good!
Hello,
I should have updated you all sooner but as I have asked everyone to pray for me in my quest to get the right job. I've prayed many times that God would bless me a job that is according to his schedule for me in the kingdom (our ministry and church). Welp, just this past Monday I started my first ever job in the industry! It's called Scenario Design, focusing on building props and back drop for theme parks ie. Disney, Universal Studios and other theme parks like that. We in 3D section makes the mock up of the future theme park and the client sees it and goes along with the construction of the real thing afterward. It's pretty cool! Scenario design actually has their own massive shop where they build things that are about 100 ft tall!! It's really cool! :)
My first two days were very challenging since I have to get up early to be there at 7am in Commerce (mind it that I haven't been waking up like that since grade school and high school!) Anyway, it's alright though because I do get out at 5pm (9 hours! not bad!). But through God's help and the people who has supported me yesterday and today has been a lot better. and I'm getting use to the schedule already! I am starting to enjoy everyday there even though 3Ds max (a program we use for modeling and animation) could be really challenging since I haven't used it for the past 2 years and that's what they use there!! I'm a Maya person (that's another 3D program) But God is good, he's been helping me out a lot. I'm refreshing my memories of how to use this program again, so please pray that I can relearn things quickly and swiftly so I could finish each day productively and be a good example to others. Thank you for all those prayers!! :)
PS: I'm still under work probation there so there's no telling until when I could stay there but I'm definitely doing my best. I know God has his plans.. I do hope to get a closer job around Glendale or Burbank for gas' sake!! :) jk! but partially serious! ^-^
I gtg to bed soon. Goodnight!!
Love,
Lyn

Teen-Led Service
Guys I just wanted to say, "A great job well done!" Everyone did a great job and their part to perfection today and I think that it really glorified God! I really loved the last song and Justine's spoken word. But we really did set an example on the older folks, and they won't look down on us because of our age.
Live the good life, which is the God life.

Kickin it in the Big SD
Yo...wat up my peoples......I wanted to share a fun weekend John Reid, Erick, Chris, and myself shared a few weeks ago. As we all know Chris will be graduating in a few weeks..yes I kno...bittersweet....but because of this encouraging and exciting move for Chris...the guys and I wanted to have some time together with him before he heads out. It was a fun and chill day overall.....we stayed the night at Nick and my apartment...ate chorizo burritos and had an awesome quiet time together with awesome prayer in the morning. (John led a great mini lesson and asked us challenging questions) Soon after we were off for a day of relaxation. Highlights of the day included...the ipod shuffle on the way to San Diego, the little African shop we stopped at to get a lesson from a professor that allowed Chris to get in touch with his 25% black side...lol...(he found his minor by the way), Erick getting his Central American pop star sun glasses..lol, Eating at jolly boy...nice outdoor restuarant--the guy's food was good...mine sucked...haha...and service was wack...but we still had a fun time... : P, Erick's $6.50 side of guacamole....haha...yeah expensive huh?, lookin all over San Diego for a movie theater that wasn't sold out for the Indiana Jones showing, and the hilarious, yet productive..."deep" talking on the way home..haha... remember guys???hahahaha...good times...But yeah ya'll just wanted to share this experience I had with my boys and the fu
n, laughter, and blessings of brotherhood we have in our ministry.

At Dave and Buster's for our MAY TL FUN NIGHT!
Let's Pray and Open our Mouths
The Teen Ministry-led service is this Sunday. Let's pray for God to be pleased and glorified. Let's also make sure we get our friends there. Remember we have a goal of at least one guest per member of the teen ministry. Also, make sure you are on top of your assignments for the service. We'll have a walk-through (dress rehearsal) this Friday.
The Good Samerican
Hey everyone,
I had a really convicting experience this morning on my way to work that I'd like to share with you. I was driving down Los Feliz to Western Ave. when on the side of the road in the corner I saw a beat up station wagon with a red gasoline container on top of it. A young guy and a girl were on the road beside the car w/ their fingers pointed up as to indicate that they needed one dollar from motorists passing by. I was already running 10 minutes late to work, and it was really difficult for me to pull over from where I was, so I drove past them and made a right on Hollywood Blvd. continuing my commute to work.
And then it hit me. Hard.
Luke 10:25-37
I realized that I was the priest/Levite in the story of the Good Samaritan. My conscience was seared - I realized that I had neglected the needs of my neighbor. I made a quick right turn, and then another, and then headed back to the intersection they were at. I couldn't get on the right side, so I ended up forcing into the left lane to make a left turn back, and then another U-turn and through a parking lot (in heavy traffic) to get back to where they were.
It turned out the two asking for money were just the kids - the father was waiting in the car for them to make enough to get to the gas station. I saw a couple of people rolling down their windows to give a dollar or some change. The scripture tells us that the good Samaritan took pity, bandaged his wounds, and took the man to the inn. At this point, I knew I was going to be late anyway, so I figured I might as well take them to the gas station and fill up their gas tank for them (after all, a dollar barely gets you any gas these days!).
It was a rather difficult process- the pump wouldn't take my card, many times... I went in to the station, had to go back and forth a few times to figure out what was wrong w/ the pump - there were lots of people at the station - I think God really was testing me on different levels. In the end, everything worked out, I filled up their gas. The dad sorta grumbled and didn't even look at me, which was a little discouraging, but the kids were just glowing w/ gratitude, and it made my day.
What was interesting was that I didn't feel frustrated going through all the crazy traffic turns, being late, or even the drama at the gas station. As soon as I made that right turn to go back to help them, I feel like my heart was committed to seeing this through. Sort of like being on spiritual-autopilot. :D
I just imagine the guilt I would be feeling right now at work if I had NOT turned around to help them. It is to my shame that I drove past them the first time!
I hope that this story inspires you do be the good "Samerican", ('cuz we live in the States, yo!) <- That's my little Marcel Moment. It definitely helped me understand the scripture in a deeper level, especially when the expert in the law asks Jesus: "And who is my neighbor?"
The best part - I got to work around 11:00, and the producers were in some kind of meeting and didn't even notice I was late.
