This Isn't A Love Story This Is A Story About Love
I am a part of AACF UCR. Attend Sandals Church in Riverside and Higher Vision Church in Santa Clarita.
Welcome to my outreach and prayer blog :)
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Ephesians 6:18-19
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:16
I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. Ecclesiastes 3:12
If love was a storybook. We would meet on the very first page.
-God

To all my brothers and sisters in Christ. To me you are like my family and many of you have been so kind with your messages and your posts show me how dedicated you all are to serving God. I get new followers each day and I always try to be consistent in quality posts every day. I pray for all of you each night and it definitely has been a blessing being able to serve you all and talk to many of you. If you were all here I would give each one of you a hug. Hope this brightens up your day :)

God loves you so much......
That every morning when you wake up God would leave you not only a text with encouraging passages from His Word and messages, but also call you so you could hear His voice saying “You are special to me, I will always love you first and you are perfect just the way you are”. Then visit you every morning just so you can run into His open arms and God will say, “I will be with you…….Always and Forever”. And God would do this every morning for us because that is how much He loves us.

"God doesn't have a Blackberry or iPhone, but He is my Favorite Contact. He doesn't have Facebook, but He is my Best Friend. He doesn't have Tumblr, but I follow Him. He doesn't have Internet, but I am connected to Him 24/7."
Let us all tear down the walls that keep God out of the picture so we can live lives dedicated to His will for us. By doing so it will allow us to not focus on things like beauty, fame, possessions, money, and the things that the world views as “good” but allow us to say “yes” to God when it comes to devoting our lives to serving others, missions, and living everyday by God’s Word. As God’s children we are called to be transformed by the spirit and see that there is more to this life than the things we see around us. Things in this life are only temporary, but a relationship with God will last forever. If there is someone you don’t know that needs prayer or needs God in their lives, do not be afraid to reach out to them, but remove all the barriers keeping you from doing so and remember to put others before yourself and God first and foremost.

God would like nothing more...
than for you to run to Him and say, “I can never thank you enough for all you have done for me and all the things that give myself and so many Christians hope. It is because of what You have done for me that I will devote my whole life to putting You first, glorifying, and seeking You out with all my heart. I may not be perfect and I do stumble, but I will always do my best to please You and NEVER stop loving and putting my trust in You. Lastly, I will be a light and encouragement for others and ALWAYS keep You and my brothers and sisters in Christ in my prayers and my heart.

Whether you know me or not, I pray that you will find something encouraging in my posts or a push in the right direction.
Up To my 3rd Year of College
My Story…
God has really changed my life and still continues to work in me every day. How did I come to Christ you may ask? Well my family not Christian so I spent about 18 years or so without having a real relationship with God or knowing who He was. I always thought that Christians were only out to convert you and increase their membership so I kinda tried to stay distant. Up until college I did go to church with some friends, but only because everyone else went. I never went consistently and sometimes went weeks to months without going. I always did my own thing and there are many things i regret doing and seeing friends that I grew up with doing/saying even up to my first year of college that would not be pleasing to God. I was never a bad kid, in fact I always tried to put others before myself and everyone always thought I was one of the nicest people they’ve met. I was just an average student in school (way below avg. in Asian standards), barely a 3.0 when college apps rolled around. I was set on going to a community college and I really did not care for school anymore. A few days before apps were due my parents told me to send a few in and maybe I will get lucky. So a few days before apps were due I wrote up my personal statement and sent it in with a 1600 sat and 3.03 gpa. To my surprise I got into a few schools. I chose UC Riverside because it was the best school I got into. During my senior year I received a D in my senior English class. However, I found a summer online English class I could take that would replace it so I could still attend college. At UCR I met a friend at my orientation who would later show me to a fellowship on campus called AACF(Asian American Christian Fellowship). I had no intent at all to join a Christian group on campus and the first time I went; I didn’t think much of it and didn’t really want to go back especially when I had a lot of what I thought “better things to do”. My third quarter of school I gave it another chance and went with a group of people whom would later become my closest friends and brothers and sisters in Christ. God really spoke to me through the message and worship that day and since then I have gone to practically every meeting. I became a consistent church goer both away at school and at home. I sometimes go with my friends, but most of the time I go alone. At school I share a house with amazing brothers in Christ and surrounded by so many brothers and sisters I have grown to love through my fellowship. God gave me the opportunity during my third year of college to lead on the core team only a year after I came to know God. Leading multimedia team, prayer meetings, bible discussions, and praise night. That was a very special year for me because I got the opportunity to take my family to church and fellowship. Even though they still don’t believe in God, a seed was planted in their hearts. Now God has given me the opportunity to lead my fellowship (one of the largest clubs on campus). To be a leader and ambassador for Him. Currently, I am using this blog to glorify Him and tell others about His wondrous acts. To proclaim His name and to be able to pray and encourage people across the world. I have been blessed by the opportunity to be able to minister to my family and be a light to others so they may come to know God like I have. I know this is long, but if anyone wants to know some of my story here it is. I know God is real and He definitely does have a plan for me. How can I ever thank God enough for all the things He has done in my life. Even when I didn’t know Him at all, He still came to my rescue and brought me closer to Him and I could not ask for a better life than the one He has given me. I hope this is some kind of an encouragement to someone out there. Don’t give up because God is not giving up on you. God, You are already the hero in my story :)
