RLK Phone Party

A few weeks ago. ^^

Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:15-17)

You might wonder why OSAKAED.blogspot.com. Here's my explanation:

Osaka + eD = OsakaeD

Osaka = My favourite anime character name from Azumanga Daioh (Osaka is actually her nickname in the anime since she came from Osaka, her real name is Ayumu Kasuga)

eD = Eddie, me! ^^

Why is Osaka my favourite anime character? She's funny. Azumanga Daioh is a must see anime. It's so funny. Amazingly, unlike other Japanese anime, this anime is so clean! (if you know something about Japanese anime, you know why I use word 'clean')

Hope that helps. Now you are one step closer to know it all! >.<

I'm learning so much these days specifically in God's word. I am so drawn into learning the Word especially book of Romans and Hebrews.

As I am leading bible study which so far we talked about

ASSURANCE, CONFESSION, HOLY SPIRIT & SEEKING THE LOST

I am regaining what I know and should have. Even though I lack many things, I'm constantly in learning mode.

I was most enlightened in SEEKING THE LOST having the heart of the Father. I must watch myself not to become like the Pharisees and the teachers of the law. Also, from the book 'The Master Plan of Evangelism' by Rober E. Coleman, I'm learning what discipleship is all about it. Even from the Calgary Project, I was starting to taste the discipleship, and was constantly in question of discipleship, and so glad that I'm learning this. I always thought there was something my previous pastor (David Oh) did for me that helped my growth. And the conclusion can be no other than discipleship.

And there is not a pastor who will do that these days especially in my church. So far from the book, we talked about selection, and association.

These days, I'm struggling myself because of my church. There are few reasons. (Details I'll explain in person if you want to know)

(1) Adult service is church's main concern (or it seems)
(2) Discipleship
(3) Solves solutions by creating another problems

I feel like Martin Luther from the movie Luther where he is struggling from his discovery. Please pray for my church as we seem to have some problems. Also, there's so much legalism I feel in my church and hopefully I better watch myself not to become one or change if I already am. I feel like I'm being arrogant of pointing out these things of my church but I do hope for the best for my church.

But I'm thankful I'm learning so much. Constantly, I'm being challenged of my faith and the knowledge of God and His Son Christ Jesus(John 17:3) and His Word (well, Word = JC according to John 1:1 ^^).

Want to say more but enough for today. I'm constantly in thinking mode. But most of all, know the word, have the heart of the Father, and acting upon it is priority at this second. God loves you!

Finally I bought

The Lord of the Rings The Motion Picture Trilogy Special Extended DVD Edition.

Always wanted to get this and got $10 off from futureshop. lucky me~~ ^^
Hope to have LORT Marathon at my friend's house but not so soon. So much studies to do even though I take only 2 courses. Today I worked 7 hours and the day seemed so long. Was stocking ice creams and some frozen foods so it wasn't that hard. Always trying to enjoy my work.

Romans 7:15-20

15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

I find these verses funny. Not humorous but just how Paul puts it. So simple and correct. Straight-forward. ^^

Doing school and work is hard, for me. But it challenges me to be a stronger person. And as I get closer to graduation (hopefully), just thinks a lot about life. Recently, one of our C4C member passed away and it is so easy to lose life. Just like that.

A future partner, job, homework, money, family, church, C4C, all these things are always in my mind. If I say I don't worry about my life, I would be lying to God. At the same time, when put my trust in God, He gives me a peace of mind and takes away my worries. Life is a journey.

I am grateful that I am weak so that I depend on God. I am starting to dream big and want to do many excitings things in life. I hope my life is not boring but be barbaric in a good way^^

Let us enjoy Life!

Historical Moment you see beside.

DAWEI eating PIZZA!!!

I have never seen him eating this and he had no choice.. hahaha!!!

I'll remember this forever and this was at our second Real Life Kit Phone Party.

It wasn't easy phoning people and perhaps start a spiritual conversation since english is my second language and I'm not a smooth talker as well~

But at the same time, it was challenging and Derek giving me a few pointers helped me a lot. Before phoning each person, I would pray in my heart that God would just use me even though I'm not that great.

I was thankful that people showed up and helped to reach our campus. I think our campus ministry is growing or should I say movement.

And it was surprising to see that our Ignite (weekly meeting) grew so big. I was late of the meeting due to my HW, but there were so many people th

ere. I think Jill is doing a great job organizing the meeting and it is always great to see many christians gather together and cast same vision which is to reach the world!

Lost Memory

I feel like I'm losing my memories these days. Forgets so much things~~
It just scares me if this is serious or something but hopefully not~
Even in studying, I can't memorize as I used to when I was back in BCIT.
I guess my high peak of my brain is over~
Do you also feel like you are losing your memories?

Happy Day!

I used word 'happy' so many times today because I'm happy. ^^

Sleeping over at Dawei's place. Hope to do some studies. T.T

It was great to see my grade 2 students. They are so cute!!!
Hope to help them with their spiritual walk with God and impact their lives.

Today was Thanksgiving Sunday and I am thankful for many things especially due to people who impacted me and discipled me. I am a hard to love since many times I'm jerk, and so glad my pastor discipled me with patience and love. I don't think I can disciple someone like me any sooner but hope to build Christ's character in me so that He will be magnified.

Also, at the end of movie 'Contact,' Jodie Foster after seeing this awestruck universe, she realizes how small and insignificant we are compared to the universe/space. If I'm asked to prove if there is God, I can't give an evidence that other people usually aprove, but when Jodie Foster says something like sharing her own experience with such emotion and passion, that can be my only answer to that question. I have experienced God, or He has drew closer to Him, that I was to know that there is God and that He sent His son for me and us. If I say there is no God, I would be lying since my testimony is true. But let God's testimony be true, if you say God's testimony is not true, you are making God a liar, which cannot be. I don't know why I'm saying this but with my sincere heart, I want to say God loves you. God, who can be only one and true, loves all of us. Hope that would be thankful enough for you. And I'm thankful for the Word. ^^

I don't know exactly what I'm saying but conclusion is that today I'm happy because... well. God bless!

Campus for Christ Mission Statement I made a few weeks ago.
It's on my wall now to help me our purpose. ^^

Today is Full Moon Day.
The Moon looks so bright! never seen this bright moon before.

As I was coming back from work, I thought about years back when I spent so much time with my pastor. Being his right hand man, had so much fun and at the same time learned much as well. I remember the talks we had while he drove me to my house and miss that kinds of memories. A lot of me miss times like that where there was somebody who really discipled me in every aspect of my life.

Also, these two verses comes to my mind which I really need to 'get it'. I can't see my future in anyway, but I put my trust in God that he is and will guide me. I remember one time when EM (English Ministry) pastor was praying for me, he told me to trust God and that He will not show me everything but step by step. I desire to be lowest.

Romans 12

1Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. 2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Ignite!

Yesterday, we (me, Jill, & Jacqueline) stayed in SFU till 10:45 PM to finish up Ignite Big~ Poster. I think Jacqueline and myself are a good promotion team and we did awesome job on it.

It's always fun to do things till night where we are all sleepy but we enjoyed so much working together. Through this hard work, I hope that many people will wanna come to ignite and join the awesome time praising God and have fellowship.

As we were trying to finalize it, we wanted to come up with ignite slogan where it just explains it all. Jill came up with "Worship God and Fellowship with Spark" but I came out with "Spark your Life"

I think "Spark your Life" is such a fun slogan!! don't you think?? hahaha!! It might actually attract people. Always wanted to do something weird, and funny. Hopefully next time.. ^^

Jill, and Jacky are a women of faith and as they sacrifice their time of youth for the kingdom of God I pray that God will just continue to bless them in His way~ ^^
So if you are SFU students, please join us at ignite even though I can't make it today because of work. Oh yeah, we are having 'Real Life Kit Phone Party' (free pizza~~ ^^)

As I sung 'All who are thirsty' & 'Draw me Close to You' in my morning praise time with guitar in my hands (oh boy, only God takes pleasures in this), it just encourages me so much that even though I'm weak, he calls and I just keep realizing that I need God. I say "I need you, Lord" in my prayer so many times these days. I really need Him and I hope I get my prayer answered if it's His will for me. Able to trust God and His will is so much fun!! So have fun trusting God. God bless!

It's so interesting how my life is. Taking risk isn't that easy.
As usual, I sense life is hard. That's the slogan for my testimony. Has been always.

Today, I couldn't help with first year chemistry I was tutoring for second time. And I just got frustrated and told her it would be best for me to stop tutoring. It was embarrassing~ Oh man~~ I'm so dumb.. hahaha!!!

It was sucky experience but I thank God that he's teaching me humility. It feels like world has gone against me but God is for me so what should I be afraid of. haha!!

With sucky feeling I have, with help of Bobby Park, good pal, I felt much better talking to him on the phone. Shared more than this sucky experience. (keke.. summit thing. pray for me all if you what i mean ^^ ) Hope things work out for me. oh well~~ hopefully!!!

God is good. All the time!
All the time. God is good!

Summit was the Best!

Had so much fun at the summit with Dawei (aka uncle), David Tsui, and Amanda!!! She's anti-Korean!! ^^
Learned a lot to help with our campus Movement.. keke~
I feel so blessed these days. So much grace and love from God.
Let's pray pray pray and run run run the race!

When we were watching promo videos for coming summer projects, especially RMP, I miss all projectiles. Oh man. Just wanna hug everybody!!!

Lots of misses from SFU, the best looking guy from the project.. oh man.. still? :P
