Expecting Miracles

It's ok to have doubts, even John the Baptist did!

Matthew 11:2-6

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of^[a] his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

and this is what Jesus has to say about him

“Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."

Believe it or not,

The Kingdom

Is Here

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." John 14:12

His Word Is True. The Blind See, the Lame Walk, the Lepers are Cleansed, and the Deaf Hear;
The Dead are Raised Up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

does He offend you?

i'm going to a conference in Toronto next week where i'll get to meet people who've prayed and seen Jesus do these things Countless times!!! PTL for Heidi and Rolland Baker!!! Jesus give me the Faith to follow You with such Reckless Abandon - Believing, Because You Died, there will Always be Enough.

"The Lord has been reminding me that our job is to love. I want to keep it simple. I could tell you about the thousands of churches and the mighty revival that is taking place. I could tell you about the thousands of people we are feeding every day. I could tell you about all the signs, wonders and miracles. But I prefer to tell you about one life, a little boy named Selsun. This Friday [Mar 24, 2006] I found him wandering the streets of Maputo, sad, despondent and rejected. I walked in the back streets with him, making friends. I went to where he was living, under a veranda. I found out his parents died in a train crash and his aunt beat him. She did not want him. I was reminded that it is all about loving the one in front of us. We decided to take him to our Zimpeto center. He now loves Jesus. He has a home. He is no longer afraid or alone. Now he can see his dreams fufilled and go to school! We need to keep it simple and love the one in front of us. Thank you for caring. You are loved.

Much love in Jesus,
Heidi"

Access

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:43:35 GMT

i love this word

and i love what it IS, to be able to get all kinds of info about Anything with a few clicks,
to be able to reach a muscle that needs work,
to be able to reach you, no matter how far away you are,
to be able to come into Gods presence, despite my sinfulness.

Something that really hit me when Janine died, was that i couldn't access her anymore.
I wanted so much to be able to send her an email, and get one back.
To be able to show up her house and see her.
Hug her, Pray with her
See her face smiling through a webcam.
Anything!

It wasn't going to happen. I was Cut Off.

i HATE that. i think friends should be friends forever. even if we don't get to talk or see each other anymore, because of time, and how our lives have moved in different directions, if i've known you, i'll always have the memories we shared, remember the good times, and think fondly of you.

If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

it may not be easy to let go and forget past hurts, but if God can forgive me for spitting in His face, and crucifying Him, and you can forgive me for the countless other stupid things i do, forgiving others is not too much to ask.

my sisters partner thinks that relationships have an expiry date. O_o

what do you think?

how much access should people have to you?

this is something that's really been on my mind, since i've been told i'm WAY TOO OPEN.
but what is the harm in sharing what is going on in my heart and mind with others.. if it's not hate speech..

i want to be known, and testify of Gods goodness, sharing that with Everyone i know who cares to read
- and honestly i don't think that many people do :p

what zion said once in a comment rings true "A city on a hill cannot be hidden, but a city still has walls"

but how does that play out in life?

your Impact.

if anyone is resting in peace, she is.

i first met janine downstairs in one of those little rooms at frazerlands.. it was for souljourners, though i have no idea why so many of us were in one of those tiny rooms. it was neat that she was there, because the friend who had invited her had stopped coming!

i didn't have much contact with her again until we went on a missions trip together.. she amazed me, with the greatest capacity and joy in prayer that i'd even encountered.

i remember getting lost with her, on the streets of shenzen.
Foolishly we decided to take a walk alone
without bringing a phone or any money
just our room keys
and Jesus
out at 11 o'clock at night.

of all the people in the group, i think the two of us were the least prepared to be walking around alone..
in the personality test we had to take before the trip, both of us had scored as ENFP
whose prayer, according to the sheet we were given
is: "God, help me keep my mind on one thi - Look a bird! - at a time..."

so we walked out, with our heads in the clouds :)
and got back
by Gods Grace Alone
at 3 am. ;)

i had forgotten that she was the one who invited me to THIS

if i stuck together all the time i got to spent with her, i think it would be less than 4 weeks
but still, she made a Huge Impact on my life. and many others

Think about the impact you're making, and Can Make everyday!

This is from an email Janine sent some SJers a few yrs ago... she had volunteered to call each person in the group,
take our prayer requests, and email them out the to the rest of the group.

>i read this today -
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands but yours,
No feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which
Christ's compassion must look out on the world;
Yours are the feet with which
He is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which
He is to bless us now.

okay, i pray for the Spirit's strength in all of us and for a really
God-filled, beautiful week.

-til friday-
love, janine

it maybe Friday Now.. and like Jesus disciples when He was on the cross, we might not understand
we might be standing here confused, and crying out eyes out..
BUT SUNDAY'S COMING!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope to see some of you SJers at the viewing at ocean park on sunday night.

AAAH!!! I GET IT!!!

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 16:16:56 GMT

you know how we read a lot of books, or listen to lots of sermons, and go to lots of conferences,

or things happen

and sometimes WE GET IT!!! and it TRANSFORMS OUR LIVES!!!

but more often than that, we don't. and we keep doing the stupid things we wish we could stop doing.

well this weekend at The Landmark Forum i GOT A LOT of things. A LOT.

it's crazy how much of who we are today results from decisions we made when we were little.

for example:

when i was little, watching movies, and reading books i decided that there was main characters and other characters in this story we call life.. and i thought Maybe i could be a main character, cause my mom died when i was in gr 5 and that seemed like a Really big thing that would happen to main characters.. but the main character always gets a boyfriend/girlfriend.. and i never did (BEFORE I WAS IN GRADE FIVE!!! AHAHA DUUUH, it's so funny, just because no boy i'd had a crush on had a crush on me back before then, i decided no one EVER WOULD :P)

anyways one of my best friends Did have a boyfriend, so i decided SHE was the main character and i was one of her supporting characters. -> So i Lived my Life like that O_O_O

she ran for student council -> i was her campaign manager
she was the lead in a play -> i was part of the chorus
she was student council president -> i was vice president
we sang in a group of 3 together, but i always saw myself as a backup singer
i wasn't, and never thought i would be "good enough"

IT'S CRAAAAZY to SEE now, that i MADE ALL THAT UP!!!

and another thing that i realized, just today as i was driving and singing praise,
singing "You have promised You will not abandon"

that i NEVER REALLY BELIEVED THAT about God, cause i KNOW how i don't always keep my word about things i say i will do (like being on time, or promises i make to myself about waking up at a certain time) - so because i Didn't Believe Myself, or other people about keeping their word, i didn't believe God Either!!! BUT Now that i know that i Can keep my word, and be on time or whatever if i Really Try and Do all that i can to keep it, now that i see how important My WORD IS, to my integrity ect) - i Can Believe Him Too!!!!! HE WILL KEEP HIS PROMISES TO ME!!!!!!!

ps. my best friend from then is rita leung and she wrote a book! she was trying to make it as a singer in taiwan and even though she hadn't come out with a cd some ppl asked her if she'd like to write a book about it! :D if you know her, or even if you don't she's having a party on sunday to sell them!!!

i'd love to see you there! (VAN HORNE, HAMBER, WHATEVER REUNION!!!!)

Get the book! ;D

Please...

"rita's notes are consistantly awesome"

i had to agree

after our run last night, my old running buddy came over to hang out - and in our search for old nintendo games i came across a TREASURE - a Box full of old notes/cards and writing assignments from elementary thru highschooL.

to commemorate this day, the day of one of my best friends birth,
i would like to share with you some of her creative genius.

from my birthday card in gr 7
(i know this card was from gr 7 or younger because it's from stefani karan, phoebe tsui and sheila lee as well!)

Zana
Zana is a banana
when she saw a monster
she rana
Zana is a banana

by Rita Pita

when i get a chance i'll scan and put up a picture she drew..

and this is from a card she bought, she didn't compose it, but i think it's so nice

You and Me ~
we're like two
Peas in a Pod.

... those slightly irregular,
        discolored ones
that most people throw out,
    but two of a kind,
          nonetheless

BAHAHAhaha

.. to the girL who's been with me through so many of the significant events of my life,
from elementary schooL, through highschooL, university and working life,
from my first love to the last, from days as a sikh to my baptism, from my first time giving blood
to getting my last tattoo (which i got on wednesday :)

some things don't change.
you are my friend.
thanks for being there.
i really thank God for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IRENE!!!

Fri, 18 May 2007 18:22:28 GMT

i these girLs So Much! but the one in particular i'm honouring today is the one right beside me

you know the last entry i wrote.. a billion yrs ago .. i was talking about the situation i was in teaching spa students massage.. where i felt i was dishonouring God by doing such a bad job, and which took up all my time so i couldn't do anything else.

the admin of this schooL was so disorganized that Out of Nowhere, the week before i was supposed to be finished (i found them teachers to replace me cause i didn't want to abandon the students i had gotten to know without any teacher at all ) to do another class for 2 wks.

they couldn't find Anyone Else. - thing was, my dad was coming into town, and i already had clients booked in to the times i had been blocking off for teaching.

Irene was an answer to my prayers at that time - cause i honestly wasn't sure.. they Really needed someone.. should i do it?

the Night Before i was supposed to meet with the dean, she dropped off a book at my house.. i had lent it another girL a Loooooong time ago and then forgot about it, and she lent it to irene.. who also forgot about it.. until The Perfect Time, by Gods Grace.

guess what the book was

unrelated - donna is helping me make the slideshow for the wedding

if you have any pics of me and you, :D :D
or you and luke, :D :D
or groups of us, :D :D :D :D :D
please send them to zanaslideshow@gmail.com

note.
