learning more about different cultures, about Christianity,
My story with God
I've been a very, very bad person. I didn't believe in God before, even if I was born and baptized as a Christian. I was vain, deceitful and I always managed to get away from all the trouble I made. I was... so... EVIL to an extent that my own family called me a devil and wanted to forget me, saying that they didn't know me. Once, I dreamt of nothing but black, then came light and a voice spoke to me. I couldn't understand the words, but strangely, I felt like I was even talking to that voice. I didn't remember everything when I woke up but what I did remember was that I said, "Will you help me start again then?". A couple of years since then, I've suddenly been fond of knowing more about the Christian religion. I found myself growing interested in one of my subjects in school. Christian Living, which I usually skipped back then is now one of my favorite subjects.
Other stuff about me:
Nothing much, I'm just an average half Chinese-Filipino high school student! =D

How was your day today at highschool? I remember the good ole high school days. They can be tough times. But the good news you know Jesus and he will help you through them! I have many, many favorite versus of the bible and one of my favorites is: Psalm 3:3 "But, You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head." God is your shield!! Don't drop your head ever- hold it up high because he wants you to and he will help you~
How are you? Of course I accept your friend request! What did you do today? I had to work. I'm an LPN, it was a very busy day. I work part time. This is my weekend to work (I work every other). I read your blog. I first want to tell you remember you are never alone. God is always with you- so don't be afraid to be alone:] And it's ok to cry really, I would cry for days probably well actually weeks if something happened to one of my little dogs!! Or if I lost my friend. Does your Mom work?
By the way how old are you? I know you're in high school but didn't know your age. That is neat that you have a class that is christian living. In public schools here you don't have religion classes you would only receive that in private. Or do you go to a private school?
Well Jian, write soon! Remember Psalm 3:3 God is your shield and he wants you to hold your head up high!!! Remember that the next time you get down! you can also e-mail me instead of on the comment wall. See ya, Love in Christ, Sharon
I was just thinking about you and then I got on the computer and read that you wrote me, I was so happy =]
I'm sorry school and home life has not been going so well lately, I will keep you in my prayers. Try very hard not to let other people get you down. I know it is easier said than done- but try to keep a good attitude even when people around you are crabby!
Well I have not heard of a major earthquake coming to your country. I don't see how they can predict a date like that- once here where I live about 15 years ago they predicted a major earthquake on a particuliar date and I too was afraid of it coming true. My kids were little and me and the kids slept in the living room that night (my husband worked nightshift that night) needless to say that day came and went with no earthquake at all!
Always remember God is in control everyday everywhwere. God will take care of you no matter what happens. I really like this verse too that I will share with you: Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isn't that a neat verse? So pray when you are worried, or feeling down, or even angry. God wants to hear from you. He honestly wants to hear from you all the time. You don't have to pray a memorized prayer- just talk to him and he will hear you! And don't forget to thank him when he answers your prayers!
Again, I will pray for you everyday- I think about you often and wondering what you are up to! Love in Christ, Sharon
FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God,
friend! Amen.

Hi Jian !
How is everything? How's school? I've been busy this week, not much time on the computer however, I pray for you everyday and wonder what you are up to.
Our house burned down last April, we lost everything. We are rebuilding a house now and have been working on that along with my job and babysitting for my grandson who is 7months old. So that left little time for the computer.
I looked up your country on the computer (it's been a long time since I had Geography!) I bet it is beautiful, surrounded by water :] Do you go to the beach much? I hope all is great with you, write soon please I love to hear from you =) Love, Sharon
