You're Not Alone

The number of times God has brought up "You're not alone" in the past few days.. through a coworker, a random YouTube video, through my church community.. 


Thank you for the comfort, thank you for the reminder, thank you that you are the God of Immanuel, the God with us.

40-day Bible Reading Plan

At the beginning of the shelter in place season, God caught my attention to do a 40-day fast, and the verse that came with it was “man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God”  so I started a 40-day Bible reading plan. The variety of things that had filled my life prior to covid I no longer have, but personally it was a blessing in disguise for me because it enabled me to go deeper into what I had remaining -- God, His Word, and being able to worship. This has been a season for me digging down my roots deeply, where I was not distracted by the voices of the world  or even my friends, and was able to tune into God and be closer to him than ever before. O I pray that we can dig our roots deep, deep down and be changed so that we may be transformed, equipped, and prepared for whatever comes in this next season. 40 days (20 OT, 4 Ps, 7 NT)  Old Testament (20 ch/day) Psalms (4 psalms/day) New Testament (7 ch/day) 1 Genesis 1 - 20 Psa...

Lyrics written to tune of Let It Go (2015)

Note from Jan 2021:  But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them -- yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. (1 Cor 15) You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (2 Tim 2) The end of school is near, I’m graduating next year Unsure about what to do now Or where God has called me to There should be more to life than marriage, jobs, and comfort I’ve been wondering how to live my life “Do what you wanna do, pursue your passion” I am told, but beyond my career Isn’t there a reason you put me here I wanna know “To live with God, to live for God, to love your God with all your heart” Yes I know, but can I ask about something personal to me Why Vancouver? Why Comp Sci? Why Worshipers? God tell me how to spend this life These are the questions I bring to Higher Calling And I hope to hear your voice there, to know your will for me It’s time to see what you will do When I put my tru...

 God wants you to be free from trauma, so that you can be the person He designed you to be. God wants you to be healed of woundedness, so that you can be free to move forward. God wants you to be free from unforgiveness and bitterness, so that you can be lighter and soar as you were intended. God wants you to be free from people who've hurt you, words that have pierced you, so that you can move forward. He wants you to be free from the past, so that you can look to the future. And he wants to help you get free. He acknowledges your hurt, He knows your pain. He felt your pain. You were not alone, He was not distant. When you were hurting, He was hurting with you. He wants to help heal your heart, so that it'll be whole. Throw off everything that hinders, fix your eyes on Jesus.  Forget the former things, do not dwell on the past; see, I am doing a new thing. Do you not perceive it?  The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news t...

waves

I was at magic sand and was riding the waves, and at some point they got big and I was upside down in the waters It was kind of a wake up call spiritually because it reminded me that the smaller waves that come are training us for the big one that's coming (I keep hear a big wave of revival is coming), and that we don't decide when the waves come It felt like I was going, God I just wanna rest, I thought this trip was supposed to be resting and refreshing, and instead i was hit with more waves, and I was reminded that I should be thankful for these waves because without them I won't be ready for the big one I tapped out for the physical waves (they got too big and I drank some water and I was like, I'm out) but I'm not tapping out of the spiritual training We are soldiers in the Kingdom of God 2timothy: Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs--he wants to please his commanding officer...

Verses that helped me during shelter in place

Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Habakkuk 3 Though the fig tree does not bud     and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails     and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen     and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord,     I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength;     he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,     he enables me to tread on the heights. Psalm 46 God is our refuge and strength,     an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way     and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam     and the mountains quake with their surging. The ...

I am not replaceable to God

I am dearly beloved.... I am precious in your sight... God made me different from anyone else, uniquely, and so how He interacts with me is unique. I am His one and only me... I am not replaceable to God... Zephaniah 3 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Song of Songs 2 My lover is mine and I am his... I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me... Psalm 139 Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in -- behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the ...
