Buried Treasure

Growing up in church, I would hear various versions of "what's your treasure?" Typically the punch line would be "the Bible should be your treasure." Whoever was giving the sermon or sharing a discussion would say something along the lines of, "If I told you there was a treasure chest of gold buried in the backyard, how many of you would spend countless hours searching for it until you found it?" They would proceed with, "But if we told you there was a Bible buried in the backyard, how many of you would dig for it?" In my head, I've always said, "Of course I would search for the Bible, but I knew in my heart.... YEAH RIGHT"

Well, I've grown up a lot since that time.... as you know I'm going to ISRAEL! I finally got my travel package today. The first thing in my package.... A NEW INDUCTIVE BIBLE!!!! I jumped for joy. I couldn't believe it. There are so many people I long to give this Bible to... so that they can learn to study God's truth and get to know Him personally. MY TREASURE!!! I've never been so excited to see a brand new Bible.

American Idol

My mom is hilarious. She can't stand Sanjaya (as only I really think his family can stand him as a singer and that one girl that cried). Well, as he was singing tonight she said in Vietnamese, "Yuck, man if I were sitting in the audience, I would stick my foot out and trip him."

AHAHAHAHA. Yes, my mom said that. She's funny.

Israel, Here I Come!

For those who haven't heard, I'm on my way to Israel from May 2 - 14th!!! You better believe I'm totally hyped to walk the same streets Jesus walked and to hear His sermon on the Mount.... ON THE SAME MOUNT! Okay, this may mean absolutely nothing to those who don't love Jesus and love studying His word, but ever since the 11th grade my life changed when I began to truly study God's word. Later on, I studied through the kings and prophets in the Old Testament. That was when I had a new found love for history because I realized that everything centers around God's chosen people, the Jews!

Yes of course the gospel is now first for the Jews and then to the Gentiles, but still we can't really understand who God is unless we study His character and His relationship to the Israelites. Anyhow, as I'm studying through Revelation, I get this amazing opportunity to go to these places I've just underlined in my Bible.

AHHHHHHHH, I'm just giddy. Okay, so Lord willing, I will be there with tons of pictures and most likely a bunch of tears, humbled that He chose me. HE, "EGO EMI" chose me.... not just for this trip, but for eternity.

Do you know the great I AM?

I will be at the Jordan River!!!!!!!! *YAHHHHHH*

Ungabunga

I have never been a fan of making my bed. After all, why should you? You're just going to mess it up in a few hours. Well, when I came home and found my bed made, I thought, "ungabunga." I love my bed made. Thanks bed maker. BTW, I just bought a new bed and new bedframe. However, none of my sheets really match... just the way I like it.
