Overflowing blessings......
冬天即将来临，其实我还真不知道该怎么预备，或是说，我没有多余的钱来去为自己
买冬天的配备，但神却在我周围预备了许多的天使，慢慢地供应我所需要的。去了崇
拜，Denisa 送我回家时，说她妈妈为我准备了一个冬天的包裹，她从后座拿出一个
袋子送给我。吃了一惊，心里暖暖的感动，给了她一个拥抱，向她和她妈妈道谢。
回到房间，打开一看，是全新的袜子，围巾，手套，棉被，卫生衣和卫生裤等等。
好激动！！！
God's provides always more than I could ever expected, feeling amaze every time
when I experienced all these. Winter is coming, actually I still have no idea what to
prepare for that, or I should say, I have no extra money to buy winter gears for myself.
However God prepares lot of angels around me, and slowly provides what I need.
After Sunday service with Denisa, she sent me back to campus and told me that her
mom prepared a winter package for me, and she took it from her car's backseat and
passed it to me. I was surprised, and touching at the same time, gave her a big hug,
and thank her mom.
When I went back to my dorm and opened the package, those are brand new winter
socks, scarfs, gloves, blanket, long sleeves clothes and pants.
I'm so excited!!!
Pumpkin carving
Sunday afternoon, Sarah and I went to pumpkin patch and look for pumpkins, we drove to a pumpkin patch but disappointing by the "Pale" pumpkins..... hmmm..... the color of the pumpkin looks so pale, so we changed our plan, instead of getting pumpkin from pumpkin patch, we went to Walmart and buy it. hahahahah......SAD CASE!!! Found big pumpkin which costs $3.89, so we brought them and brought them back to her house, ohya, and we get carving tools from dollar shop, wohooo~~~~
This is my first time crave a pumpkin, yeap, the reason are....my family and I don't celebrate Halloween + Halloween is not a common festival in Malaysia + we eat pumpkin ( we don't waste food....)
However, I'm not planning to celebrate that, but just try pumpkin carving, and see how things go! yay~
Even Cooper likes it! hahaha..... I did a short record by taking the steps of pumpkin carving, in case you are wondering.... hahahaha..... it take a long time than I was expected. Okie, here our "Pumpkin Party" started!!!!
星期天下午，Sarah 和我一起去南瓜农场找南瓜，开车去到农场但却失望而归，因为农场那边的南瓜看起来好"苍白"，颜色不鲜艳，因此我们改变计划，决定到Walmart去买南瓜。哈哈哈.......悲哀！！！ 在Walmart 卖的南瓜很大，而且才$3.89，所以我们买了很大一颗的南瓜回去她家，对了，我们还买了刻南瓜的工具，哈哈哈哈~~~~~
这是我第一次刻南瓜，对，你没听错，原因是......我们家人都不庆祝万圣节 + 万圣节在马来西亚并不是普遍庆祝的节日 + 我们吃南瓜 (我们不浪费食物....)
回到话题，我并不打算庆祝万圣节，只不过在这里试试刻南瓜，看看会变成什么！
连Cooper 也喜欢！ 哈哈哈......我用照片做了一个简短的刻南瓜记录，以满足你的好奇心.....哈哈哈.....原来刻南瓜花的时间比我想象中的还要长。好啦，我们的"南瓜派对"开始啦！！！

Sunday service: Disciple series
"Follow the Leader"
I love how the pastor started this topic by playing a simple game named: follow the leader
Follow the leader, means follow everything he do
A disciple is someone who follows the Word and Way of Jesus, however, many people identified themselves as Christian, but not many of them mark their life by following Christ.
"Christian are commissioned to make disciples of Jesus."
Matthew 18:16-20
THE GREAT COMMISSION
Background of this versus: After Jesus rose from the death, 11 disciples went to mountain, they worshiped him, some doubted.......Some doubted, this could be the reason of Jesus physical appearance(They couldn't recognize Him), or they concern on how will Jesus response to their faith (when they were boast by saying they will not leave Jesus, but when the soldier came, they ran away), or they doesn't know how to response to Jesus supernatural.....Anyway, Jesus gives His great commission to his disciples, but why and how?
The means of the mission.......
1. I must make disciples because Jesus possess absolutes power. v.18
"All authority in Heaven and on earth......." Jesus said this and proclaims that He has the power over death, fear, and everything. We have limited authority in our life, but Jesus has all the power. That's mean, we might worry that we can't make disciples, but Jesus is able to help us overcome it.
People wants Jesus to be heir Savior, not King.
How would you respond to Jesus authority?
Reject? or Submit?
"Therefor, go and make disciples......." Jesus said baptizing them and teaching them to obey His commands. Making disciples demands that people far from God come to faith, and become fully devoted followers of Christ. Baptize them because Jesus He himself modeled that, and He commands it, and the church needs to see it as a significant. Teaching them to obey everything He commanded, people suppose to grow up, same as our spiritual life. Don't mix up spiritual maturity and Bible knowledge. If we are not applying Word of God in our life, it's pointless.
3. I will make disciples because Jesus promise His present. v.20
"I am with you always, to the end of the age." This is the Hope from Jesus, sometimes we feel disappointing, overwhelming, lonely or useless when making disciples, but why? Jesus promises that we can save people, we can heal people, we can make disciples when Holy Spirit is in our life, Jesus promises that He is with us. We are never alone doing His commission, for He is always with us.
Are you a disciple?
Are you making disciples?
Apple Festival!!!!
Saturday noon went to Taylorsville for Apple Festival together with Sarah's parents, it was about 20mins away from
her house. I love her parents, they are cheerful and fun to hang out with, heheheh....Learnt a lot of local terms from
them too!!! After arrived in Taylorsville, parked our car and walked towards the town area, and that's where the Apple
festival booths are. Didn't expected so many people here, and so crowded..... but is cool to see and enjoy the atmosphere
here! We walked around, and of course, eat.......
We tried Turkey egg roll, lemonade, funnel cake, apple cider.......wohooo!!!!! It was a great time hanging out with
her parents, and get to tried new food~
Sarah said: American deep fried everything.....

Funnel cake basically is an unhealthy food, hahahahah..... deep fried waffle mixture + sugar icing

Countless blessing......
When you are far away from home, and finally having some Asian ingredients that you can cook in your room, just feeling super awesome!
Sandi came and picked me up on Friday(last day of class before Fall break, however, I have no class for today, so I got whole day free!!!)
Guess what, she brought me a mini rice cooker, and packed me a pack of white rice, coconut milk, sea salt... and she brings me to two Asian
grocery stores!!!! She described my face looked so happy when we first entered the grocery! hahahaha..... She gets to learn the
unique ingredients from me, and watching me being crazy walking around and grab stuff, and I managed to buy some stuff which I could cook in my room with the mini rice cooker~!!!
I'm so blessed and so happy!!!!
Thursday night, Bible Study time~~
Thursday night we started our first Bible study for this semester at Anna and Sarah's house. This group is mainly
for Junior and Senior women, and I'm special case freshman....hahahaha.....Bible study group lead by Anna, the lady
in the middle with black top, and she did a pretty good job. Bible study started at 7:30pm, and we have ice-cream
to start out with, we have 3 kinds of different ice-cream, and lots of topping choices, wohooo!
After settle down,
Anna let me lead "Junk, Joy, Jesus" without me expected, *What?* luckily this wasn't too hard, basically we all share
how's our last week, after sharing.... Anna prayed, and started with a question: "Are you afraid to fail?" and since
then, never ending questions shooting us like machine gun..........
"What do you feel when you fail?"
"Is this failure will make you fail in life?"
"Is the thought of failure stop you from doing it?"
"Has your fear makes you do something that you never expected?"
"What's spiritual failure means to you?"
"Are those spiritual failure or inability to meet your standard?"
"Are you concern your worldly failure more than spiritual failure?"
and more...........
It went deeper and deeper, and talks about sins, and God's holiness, God's standard.
I love it, when it's deep, people gets serious, and that's the time where people started to reflected.
Can't wait for next week's Bible study!! yay!

Ohno, I got red eye!
Dunno what happened, my right eye pains for no reason, and it started to turned red on Friday night.
Guess it's either too tired, or my body too heat (didn't drink enough water), or I wore contact lens
too long, or my eyeball need to rest, or I punch my eye when I was sleeping *that sounds stupid*.........
Anyway, gonna get eye drops, and hopefully it recovers soon.
别紧张，我没事......
不晓得怎么回事，我的右眼开始疼痛，然后星期五晚上开始有血丝。
猜想应该是太累，或是热气(没喝够水)，或是戴了隐形眼镜太长时间，或是我的眼球要休息，或是我
在睡觉的时候不小心打到自己的眼睛*听起来蛮笨的*......
不管怎么样，要去买眼药水，也希望它快快复原。
The Ball Brothers
Matt Davis, Chad McCloskey, Daniel Ball, Andrew ball
Sunday night normally I have no plan, but this Sarah asked me if I want t go to her church,
because there is an A-capella small concert in her church, so I went with her at 5:30pm.
Yeap~ Christian a-capella concert by four handsome guys, why not? hahahahah
The concert started at 6pm, we found a nice seat, right in the middle, 5 rolls away from
the stage, so we can listen/ look at them clearly~
opsss~ hahahaahaha
Quick Infor:
The Ball Brothers are two brothers, Andrew and Daniel Ball along with their brother-in-law Chad McCloskey
and a newcomer, Matt Davis. They travels world-wide, singing their distinctive brand of Christian music, and
they sing very well too!!! They share Gospel through the concert, and their ministry to sponsor children from
Romania, Mexico, Africa and more. So if you sponsor a child ($1 per day), then you will get their CD for free,
that's a pretty good deal, isn't it? Ohya, the two brothers' are pastor kids~ wohooo~ Anyway, three of them are
married, so left one single, Matt Davis, he sang the "bass" in a-capella, hahaha.... So if you are interested,
act quick~ XDXD
PS: In case you dunno how to start, I have attached the link here, hahaha..
