DC Trip

I praise God for my trip to DC. I love the city! I don’t care too much for the sites and tourist attractions but I just like the feel of the city. It’s definitely more Cali-like than Minnesota (It’s still snowing by the way). I had a blast even though Frances thought I was bored the whole time. I was able to rest and hang out with Elijah.

I am only in the airport and I miss him so much. I am getting water-eyed just writing this. We had such a good time together walking in the streets by ourselves, running around his new spider-man punching toy, and laying down together. I don’t think he understood the fact that I was not going to see him for a long time because when I said bye I had to wake him up myself. He was kind of out of it still but I could still hear him say “Lallu” very softly in my ear.

I love that little guy so much! I thank God that I have such an awesome family. I am so excited now to see Xander and Zack very soon. Thank you God!

(I’m full out crying in the airport writing this now)

Never feels like home

I hung out with my closest friends out here the other day and I realized (again) how different life is here. The friends that I have here are so great and so encouraging but its just not home. I don't know if it's because I live alone but as long as I have lived here I have never felt like this was home. Maybe it's because I think of home a lot and I miss my Family. I haven't even seen Zack Zack but I love him to death already. Anyway, I hate to be redundant but I miss you guys and you guys cannot be duplicated.

Sleep to the Glory of God

How do you sleep to the glory of God? I always feel like sleep is wasting a day and that if you are sleeping you are being unproductive. I sleep horribly during the week. I found that takes a huge toll on your walk with the Lord. The devil is trying to attack your heart because that is what the Lord looks at. Your mind keeps you alert and on guard. It protects your heart. When you are sleepy and your mind is prone to wander then your heart becomes an easy target for the devil. So, having said all that, please pray that I would sleep well to the glory of God by refreshing my mind and body for the battle at hand. How do you sleep to the glory of God? Well.

Tough Guy

Ok, so last night I was the bouncer for the restaurant that I work at. I got there around 9 o'clock and I left work around 3:30am. What a night I had!!! I broke up two fights and some people wanted to fight me because I had to go around telling people that they had enough to drink and take it away from them. They did not want to stop so I had to kick them out of the restaurant. They did not want to fight me because they said "he probably knows taekwondo or something." Some drunk people were following me around the restaurant. It was an intense St Patty's day for me.

I had to get up this morning at 6:30 for work at Best Buy.... I'm exhausted.

February Vs. March

March is way better than February. I felt like crap in February for some reason... Things just seemed as they were going wrong all the time. March is 10 times better so far.

The enemy comes back

Man. I don't know what to say. I miss you guys. I miss home. I'm getting homesick and I think it has a lot to do with the weather. I'm getting to the point where I want to go back home but then I think of the growth that the Lord has done in me I get excited to be here for the next few years. Pray for me please. I am running low on the strength because of the two jobs. I am not able to study as much or even keep my eyes open. If you get a chance please do pray that I get used to having 2 jobs. I miss you guys so much!

Wow!

Praise the LORD!!! I was speechless! Here's the conversation...

One of my BFF: Hey Yek, how far are you from E. Lake St.?

Yek: Not too far, why?

BFF: I am sending you money through Western Union and they are open 24 hrs. Call me when you get it.

Yek: Ok, thanks.

So I go to the Western Union and I get the money and I was in shock. The amount of money that I saw was out of this world! I almost peed in my pants! I called BFF back and the conversation continued.....

Yek: Are you Crazy?!?!

BFF: (chuckling) yeah, I knew you would need it.

Yek: Are you serious?!?! That's like... Why would... Wow! Thank you! Thank you! Praise God.

BFF: I'll talk to you later...

Yek: Ok. Wow! Thanks, bye.

I leave the name/s anonymous because the reward is in heaven. It was done in secret where only the Lord would see it so I praise God for the humility and the grace that was shown towards me.

BFF, you are blessed and I praise God that you would are using it to help others in need. I praise God for you and I love you very much and I cannot believe that you would sacrifice that much for me. I know it is because we have a savior that sacrificed everything for you... and me. Thanks again.
