I shall DEFEAT you in ping-pong! That goes for you, too, Michael WONG and anyone else who dares STAND IN MY WAY! I SHALL NOT FAIL!!!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

A very good friend of mine has reminded me that humanly we are inadequate in every aspect. We are depraved, impotent sinners. Yet through Christ, and in Christ, we are all that we'll ever need to be. God will strengthen us when we put our trust in Him. I man feel not very smart or not very athletic ... but that's okay because as long as I am in Christ, He will continue to mold and shape me into the man God wants me to become.

To anyone who cares, please pray extra hard for me this coming week. I'm almost stressed to the breaking point.

A song for the Lonely :-)

Do you feel like you've been disowned
Left outside, in the cold, and without a home
Are you looking for a friend
Who will stand by your side 'til the very end

Don't give in to the lie
That there's no one you can turn to
Don't lose heart, there is hope
There is someone who will never desert you

If this world is a lonely place for you
Fall into the arms of love
If this world is a lonely place for you
There's a God that you can trust
He'll comfort you and lift you up



*********
to the lonely - take heart.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

God gave me the strength to get through my midterm. PRAISE THE LORD! Even if I don't get an 'A', I'm just glad that God helped me through it without getting stressed out.

When a wall surrounds… you always make a way
When the ocean drowns… you come walking on the waves
When I kick and scream on the bedroom floor
and you've picked me up a hundred times before
you hold me and love me just the same
just the same

and I can't live without you
I'd sooner die than try to
I cannot live without you…
you're all I need
and I can't live without you

When I'm far from home… I hear you call my name
And you wrap your arms around me like a willow in the
rain
When it all comes down I'm on solid ground
And the winds may blow but I'm safe and sound
and you whisper- it's gonna be ok
it'll be ok

not ashamed to be helpless hiding at the feet of the
lamb who died
and made a way where there was no way
don't care if they call me crazy I need you like the
air I'm breathing
and wherever you are I never will be far away

i think i've sighed about twenty times in the last hour.

If I could pick an ideal time for the rapture to occur:

Wednesday, September 24th, 7pm.

Doomsday. Pray hard. CS midterm 7-9pm. God, if you need help finding me, I'll be at 1 Pimentel.

sigh.

Silence Me
by Jeremy Camp
Psalm 46:10

The many words that I speak
I tend to ramble on
Talking about myself
And all the things that I need
I need to be patient and listen to your voice

Help me to know you
Help me to hear

Silence me so I can hear you
Open up my eyes so I can see you

Help my actions speak louder than my words
To live my life out loud
By the life You've put in me
I need to be still and know that You are God

Help me to know you
Help me to hear

Silence me so I can hear you
Open up my eyes so I can see you

**********************************************************
Sometimes it just seems that I am whining so much to God. "God, I'm so stressed. God, help me with my midterms. God, please help me feel better." We get so caught up talking to God, that we forget to listen to God's still, small voice. God could be telling us the answers to our every problems if we would only listen.

TODAY's LUNCH at the DC was SO GOOD! MMMMMM ... Yummy ... well maybe I was just hungry, but it was EXCELLENT. It was some sort of szechuan tofu or something with rice. I also had a cup of jello and a glass of milk. Excellent, excellent. My compliments to the chef.

I wish I had time to work on my webpage ... I actually haven't started yet, but Andrew created a flash intro for me ... it's pretty cool.

today i made a total jerk out of myself.

i was messing around with tina just now. she was hassling me, so i asked her, "hey, do you have your keys?" when she didn't respond, i ran to close her door to her room. it was hilarious at first, but then i figured out both she and her roommate's keys were locked in the room! GASP ... I'm so messed up. THINK, BRYAN, THINK! Anyway, yeah. When I tried to get help, the RA was unavailable ... so I climbed through Andrew's window into Tina's room. That was FUN!!!! Actually, it wasn't that fun, but yeah. Kinda fun being two floors up and doing jungle antics. HAH HAH! Anyway ... now my name is mud w/ the suite. (*sigh*) oh well ... time to buy their friendship. Beamers for EVERYONE!

DO I LOOK LIKE A TOTAL CHUMP OR SOMETHING?!?!?!?!?!

Okay, two weeks ago while I was waiting for the bus, a guy comes up to me and asks me for change. He doesn't go to anyone else; he only comes up to me. I give him some change, but then I don't have enough money for the bus fare!

LAST WEEK, while I was at the bart station waiting for my dad to pick me up, this white dude comes up to me and asks for some spare change. Again, he doesn't go up to anyone else. I ask, "How much do you need?" He replies, "Well, I'm trying to get from Union City to Oakland, so whatever you can spare." I end up giving him all the change I have (around three bucks) ... I would have given him my five dollar bill, too, but I changed my mind at the last minute. As soon as I give him the money, he hops onto a bus. I'm sure three bucks wouldn't be enough to get him to Oakland ... He didn't even ask anyone else for change after me ... I think I've been had ...

Oh well, let's just say that I have a generous heart. HAH HAH ... unlikely ...
