Knowing You, Jesus
All I once held dear, built my life upon
All this world reveres, and wars to own
All I once thought gain I have counted loss
Spent and worthless now, compared to this
Knowing you, Jesus
Knowing you, there is no greater thing
You’re my all, you’re the best
You’re my joy, my righteousness
And I love you, Lord
Now my heart’s desire is to know you more
To be found in you and known as yours
To possess by faith what I could not earn
All-surpassing gift of righteousness
Oh, to know the power of your risen life
And to know You in Your sufferings
To become like you in your death, my Lord
So with you to live and never die

认识祢，耶稣
(领诗许严凯蒂师母伴奏许安凯弟兄)
1. 前我心宝贵，世上的虚荣，
今生的骄傲，高举自我，
今为主耶稣，将万事丢弃，
前我心宝贵，尽作有损。
认识祢，耶稣，
认识祢，是我一生至宝，
主祢是，我一切，
我喜乐，我的公义，
主我深爱祢。
2. 今我心渴慕，惟认识耶稣，
属于主基督，在祂里面，
那不能赚取，无比的救恩，
凭着祂宝血，得以称义。
认识祢，耶稣，
认识祢，是我一生至宝，
主祢是，我一切，
我喜乐，我的公义，
主我深爱祢。
3. 让我能经历，祢复活大能，
让我与基督，一同受苦，
更像我恩主，效法祂的死，
让我与基督，一同活着。
认识祢，耶稣，
认识祢，是我一生至宝，
主祢是，我一切，
我喜乐，我的公义，
主我深爱祢。
认识祢，耶稣，
认识祢，是我一生至宝，

Listening during the Silence
I am learning how to listen to the Lord in times when I can cannot hear an answer to my prayers. It’s difficult because the world is noisy and feeding me answers and I want to be able to rely on him to discern is this really a sign from God? So far he has not answered my prayers, and I am reminded to be patient and also pray continually. Pray in all circumstances. Recently, many of my friend’s have dire prayer requests. I hope to not be more sensitive to what’s going on and pray earnestly also for my family and friends.
Mom is sick. Also, pray that she gets better soon. Been so busy to be with the Word. Pray for me.
Resolutions
I’ve thought a lot about New Year Resolutions, and it’s already the beginning of February. So many wonderful things has happened since then. I’m trying to read Jonathan Edward’s Resolutions again to be encouraged and focus. Mine are very simple: to be grounded in Christ, begin a prayerful life, grow with a Bible study community, grow in my love for the Lord and His Word. =) Be content in all other things regarding the future.
I had such a great break at home with my parents and brother. =) My grandparents went on a vacation to Vietnam and ping pong ministry is starting. I pray that God will use it. I really do hope people will start coming to it. Life in Milpitas is great. =) I love my aunt’s cooking. I really hope to take some time to learn some dishes. Also, I ran into a wonderful Bible study, which is all part of God’s plan. Lastly, my EE course ended and we passed out diplomas! So awesome!
Proverbs 31
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
Love
Love without God’s protection, fails.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails.
First Day Back
It feels good to be back. Questions, answered. Things, cleared. I can’t wait for ping pong ministry and for when my parents and brother come up in two weeks! =) I miss them already! Starting daily devotions from Oswald Chambers. Pray to stay committed.
Mom’s Birthday Today
It’s my mom’s birthday! =D I’m glad God brought her into this world so that my brother and I can be here in this wonderful family!
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. –2 Corinthians 4:7, 16-18
Friendships
My Kid’s EE class and I visited the Mission de la Casa Nursing home. It was a true blessing to see the Holy Spirit working in the kids, adults, and elderly that day. Some people heard the gospel for the first time and accepted Christ! =D
I also revisited San Jose 2 church. The sermon was about Luke 1:39-45, the friendship between Mary and Elizabeth. Pastor Hung said true spiritual friendships should have these components:
1. Both people fear God
2. Intentional Community: Mary hurried to Judea, a far journey, to meet Elizabeth after the angel spoke to her.
3. Filled with the Holy Spirit: when we come together, the spirit is clearly there.
4. Satisfies the Deepest Needs
I pray for these types of friendships, and I pray this Christmas season to bless others in this way.
Foodie: canh he dau hu, thit kho hot vit
Explosion, bursting, head
Slowly, quietly, seeping through
Any peace, solace, escape
I seek.
Help me Oh Lord.
I need you.
I am nothing. Without You.
Love me.
