What Makes Jesus Different Event

First time being involved in an outreach event with different ministries on campus collaborate together. It was really all Him who brought all of us together and make this happen. I really enjoy listening to Andy Bannister's speech and the Q&A session is specially interesting.

Event turned out really well!! It was almost full. People from different faith background came and interesting discussion followed. A couple more people wanted to get connected to churches and on campus ministries, some wanted to help and some offered some really good future suggestions.

Come to think about it, it's pretty amazing to see how different people bringing different things to the table to make things work out, logistics, promo, financial, follow up, prayer team. Thank You for bringing all of us together! Thanks for giving me this opportunity to serve You together with other amazing people who believed in You! Thank You for showing me what I can offer to the table when I thought there isn't. Thank You for showing me unity and what a huge difference it make when people come together with the same purpose. Thank You for teaching me about humbleness, on how much I can learn from others regardless of faith background.

Happy Easter everyone!!  Christ has risen indeed!  =)  It's a happy day!

One of the things that stood out while Jamie's praying on Palm Sunday for the people who got baptize today(somewhere along these lines): I pray that when you are in victorious, you will not feel any more loved by God and at the same time, I pray that when you fall, you will not feel any less loved by God.

It makes sense. God's love is equal. You will not get extra bonus love when you are at your highest point in your life or when you serve Him. It's equal. Sometimes it felt like it because we are not blinded by the challenges and the hardships that we're going through when we're at our down points. It feels so relief to know that when you are at your low point or when you messed up big time, God's love is still the same as the times you were obedient.

The part that hit me more is the fact that we at the same time, also don't have to work hard and strive just to get His love, because it's there all this time, totally take away the burden of not knowing hard much work you have to do to get His love/to heaven because Jesus has it all covered =) We do it because we love Him and want to do it for Him.

I am so blessed to be part of the team to witness so many friends that have came to Alpha to accept Him, grow closer to Him and today, publicly declare their faith through baptism. Even the hardest heart was soften.

Totally didn't expect to see you accept Him into your life needless to say BAPTISM! Vic, I like how you said that when such a wise man like Gandhi can like Jesus, there is something about Jesus that you would want to find out. (It from Gandhi's quote: I like your Christ but I don't like your Christians.)

 Looking back, this past year has been a very fruitful journey for me. I messed up but God fix it ALL THE TIME. I am a mess yet He uses me. I doubt, but He's faithful.

I need to be less self-centered and more Christ-centered,

Thanks for the reminder

What is the purpose of life? To be happy? To be rich? To have fame? To be successful? Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe has it all under their feet yet they killed themselves. Building your life on a world that isn't stable, once it collapse, everything is gone.

Mark 8: 34-39

A very good reminder for my week. So glad I make it to the event despite the heavy flu. Now, back to bed. Oh wait, I need to shower and Penelope Waits coming up next! So excited!!!
