Emotions

Emotions are often one of the hardest things to work with in our Christian life.  Some of the worst decisions I've ever made was due to emotions, negative emotions more specifically.

Holiday season approaching, had a great weekend, Zech is still not sleeping through the night since coming back from Taiwan. Yest. Corn came over and bought dinner, had a good time, also had a good time with Watching hacksaw ridge, pretty good movie about a 7th day Adventist sticking with his faith.

found a new job w/ the county! Hard to figure out when to let them know

spiritual tank

Has been very low as of late.  Not much time with God or his word.  But something that did fill it recently was the new hillsong movie.  It allowed me to refocus on what life's about and not feeling angry about the people in my life but letting God give me love to extend to others.  It's a super natural experience that is necessary for all Christian to live a successful Christian life, especially if they don't have great circumstances.

I can start to see I become less Judgmental, and the circumstances that would generally tick me off don't bother me as much as if anything gives me a fresh new approach to handle them when I have God's inspirational word flowing through me.

9/1/16

Lots of things doing well, got a raise, had a great healthy kid,parents are healthy, great church family(not perfect), blessed with great shelter, decent possibility of a new job.   Been learning to cook, rotisserie much better, great friends, God has blessed me tremendously.  I think it has to do with this concept called future grace.  A phrase coined by John Piper, a pretty good theologian who just thinks about things in a very practical way. Nobody's got it better than me!

A new earth

As a Christian, my previous preconception of heaven revolved around going or elevating to a "new" place while the current place existed for the "still alive" or maybe non-christians.  Unfortunately, as I've been doing revelations, it's about this current earth is going to be wiped away, and this current earth is transformed/renewed/restored.  In this new earth, God promises Joy, splendor and communion with Him forever in His city.  What is the difference between this new earth and "His city"?

Baby business

We "appear" to understand more and more about why the baby cries...

It was 

1st couple days: baby hungry, not enough milk

2nd : not latching properly

3rd: Baby had diaper rash - use some vasoline than sesame oil, baby poo and pee staying on the skin too long

4th : now we are trying the pee b4 u daiper technique

things" are settling down"

baby stuff/ tips and tricks

So it's about 16 days and the first couple of days, apparently the baby was starving and that's why he was so fussy, and breast milk just wasn't coming out. So we went with some formula and syringe, it seemed to be a little bit better but baby was still under weight and didn't get back his beginning birth weight so we tried aggressive feeding and went with the bottle.  Apparently we fed him too aggressively and within a day he gain 6 oz, which was way to crazy so they said we were feeding him too fast. Now they said try this new technique called paced bottle feeding.  We also got some good latching techniques.

so far so good, God's been good!

New Kid:

God's been great, we had Zech 1 day after expected date, but got admitted on due date.  Lots of support from Parents.Warriors are in the playoffs, beating rockets 4-1.  Now game 1 of blazers w/ no Curry.  He slipped. Got 2 great subs, so we are in good shape.   Not sure how life changes but hopefully I'll keep my sanity, which I'm sure God would allow.
