"Happy Birthday, Joel"
-God
Arrived in Vegas last night, tired, but decided to get something to eat first. The usual Paris midnight steak special. :-) During dinner, Xuan came into the restuarant by himself. He just wanted a bowl of noodles, so he joined us at our table.
John stayed behind to talk to Xuan after dinner, the rest of us decided to leave. The gang decide to go for a walk, but for some reason, out of my character, I decided to retire to my room. Once in the room, eventhough I was tried , probably due to thinking about the MD run stress in the coming days, I didn't feel like going to sleep yet.
John & Van returned to the room before the gang came back form the walk. John said "We have good news!" I wasn't sure what he meant at first, but he went into the closet and pulled out a MD jacket, tossed it on the bed beside me and told me it belongs to me.
"Not my will, but Yours be done."
My first thought was God is awesome. Through the last month, through all the stress, He has been watching over me. WOW!!! Now I cannot sleep. God does not provide until you submit to Him. WOW!!! I'm in awe. Marketing Director... not by my own works, but by FAITH.
"You've watched over me, since I was a child.
You've stay close when my heart have gone running wild.
You've welcomed back, again and again.
You've offered me kindness, forgiven my sins."

Trusting God, 755 points
Middle of the night, on the flight to Las Vegas. In awe of His marvellous display of fireword lightning display out the cabin window.
Wow, what a month, so many things had happened. So many valleys and peaks. And as I head into Las Vegas, I'm burnt out. I'm tired Lord. But that's the least of my concerns. I know my Lord will lift me up, and carry me. My Lord is my strength, my hope and my sheppard. Least few months I learn to turst in the Lord. Life is a test, I just have to rely on Him. Some may say it is ignorance, but I have seen it again and again that He has provided no matter what's the situation. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirsis the kingdom of heaven."
My MD promotion is still uncertain. Just 755 points short in June... or make up the 16k points in July?!? As of now, I still need 9000 points for July... What am I doing on this flight? I still have points to run for... "He gives and takes away." I experienced that first hand in June when I thought my MD run was done, only to realized I am 755 short. I thought I could now focus on the church planting project, without worrying about my MD run... I guess God have other ideas in mind. Faith... just have to have faith that Hassan could get the 9000 points within the next two days, or else another 15k points will roll. I want to trust in you Lord, please teach me how.
Church Planting... Logos Baptist Church (York Mission)... one more month and I'll be put in charge of the English Minsitry. I still got so much to learn, so much to grow. Lord, please help me!
I am reminded to be a good witness to my peers. As I'm on my way to the "City of Sin", God please be with me. Give me the strength to resist the temptations and set an example for my peers.
What God really challenged me the last month was my motives. Why do I do the things I do? Is it to bring glory to God or to glorify myself? To gain for the kingdom og God or for my own personal gain?
Lord please teach me humility. Why do I hold a bible study on Saturday? For fellowship or for personal desires? Lord please give me a clean heart. Why do I bake cookies? Why do I lead worship in care group?
I will soon have to share my testimony in my Care Group. Lord, help me to share so that it brings glory to you and not to myself. Lord, please be a constant reminder for me. Please keep me in check and accountable for my actions.
