How much longer is this test, Lord? As I said, it's not a matter of WHY, but WHEN.
Strengthen me and pray for me, Lord, so that I can endure it in a time of hardship.
As I remember Your word, it's a dishonor to Your name when I become poor and steal.
"Two things I request of You (Deprive me not before I die): Remove falsehood and lies far from me; Give me neither poverty nor riches--Feed me with the food allotted to me; Lest I be full and deny You, And say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I be poor and steal, And profane the name of my God." (Proverbs 30:7-9)
Father, show me a way and I will follow. With all I am, I worship You. With all I have, I surrender all. Don't let the enemy triumph over me, but prepare a banquet before my enemy as I gladly receive the feast You have for me.
Life is often lived forward, but understood backward.
I am not asking to understand it all, but I need You to strengthen me in a time of crisis.
Bless You, Jesus.

Nov. 2008 in Taiwan
I am back from a trip to Taiwan for my grandfather's funeral. It was a trip of self reflecting and family gathering. I need to put myself together now...I am tired.

Pre-Election weekend
Wow...what a weekend! I am really lazy to repeat what Jasmine has already written down, so I am simply gonna copy hers and add more afterthoughts.

Sat. Nov. 1st - the CALL
I started weeping non-stop right after I found a seat, which was around 9:50 am. I wept so hard, my eyes got tired before 11 am. Whenever people on the stage said, God bless America, I wept. God was there; this is His hour. Lord, have mercy!
Sun. Nov. 2nd - Rally in LA
As we arrived LA city hall, I thought to myself that we were not really needed at the rally. When Annie called and said that there were some "NO on Prop. 8" supports at the voting booth. That got me thinking about going to the "front line" where the action should be.
At the city hall, we are very much "protected"; if we want more "impact" we should go over to the voting booth and face the protesters, right? It was FUN when people yelled at us and called us names, etc. It's totally a "嗆聲" (confrontation) between both sides although we did it with love and patience. Some people accused us and criticized of the godly values we believe in, but I know that God is happy that we were there!
Impact people, I am so proud of you! You are so radical! You are the Gideon army that fears nothing but God! You guys rock!
For those people who want to know more about the importance and details of Propl 8, please go to Jaeson Ma's blog.
