JIngle all the way

wow

While a cashier was beeping my groceries, I looked frantically in my purse for my debit card bc the cash folder was low.. I had taken it out and it was sitting next to my bed for no reason... hubby was out preaching in Denton... I was about to say sorry I don't have the money when my oldest asked, Mommy, do you need me to go get my wallet? It's in the car. Needless to say, she paid for groceries today with the money she earned from her selling cake pops. I just want to say, she saved the day, and Jesus is so good to me. 

How Majestic Is Your Name

To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith. A Psalm of David.

8 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

5 Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings[b]
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
7 all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Thank you

Our pastor has preached the sermon I really needed to hear. 

The world hasn't ended yet and the United States is still standing. We must continue to keep faith, tread on with hope, and do our duties as Jesus freaks.

The Perfect Storm

There is a need to document what is happening. When I began to experience a spiritual rest and mountain top high with the Lord a few months ago, I started to wonder what is next to come for our family. A bit excited but a bit cautious. When God prepares me this way, I knew something big is going to happen. He was building me up this time to receive something humungous. Something bigger than anything that has happened in several years.

In April, I typed up an entry entitled "New Leaf". The spiritual healing and rest happened 2 months after grieving what happened in our short fostering season. It is now almost August. Troubles started 3 weeks ago in mid July. Van needs a couple thousand bucks worth of repairing. That was fine cuz who needs air conditioned transportation? Who needs a van?

Then, our zucchini plants were attacked by squash borers, 11/13 plants died. Gardening and eating our own harvest is a big deal. Food is expensive!

Then I got a letter about my professional teaching certificate renewal that I needed not 2 but 3 credits of SWD classes.

Then, a few days ago, our one income has been exterminated. Without warning. Even though people could have warned people out of compassion or mercy or whatever.

Then some guy decides to fight another guy in my husband's office where he was on his last two weeks to where a police report had to be filed.

Today, I opened our library account, $25.99 for a lost book we did not lose. REALLY?!

Anyway, Satan is whipping up a perfect storm for us. He sure is having fun. Last time Phil left overseas, I remember another perfect storm. I might have recorded it, I might not have. But I remember it. Someone does not want God's work to be done.

God has a huge plan for us and He has allowed Satan to sift us. There's something that needs to be sifted so... we submit to it. The Lord will deliver us through it, or out of it, or into glory. But I prayed days ago, that when I became a Christian, I knew. I surrendered my all then, and I am never backing out. I am going to serve the Lord with my life. No matter where, how, when, etc There is nothing else that's worth doing. Everything in the world will fade. I don't want to work for things that fade. I don't want to waste the one life God gave me.

All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give
I will ever love and trust in
In His presence daily give
I surrender all
I surrender all
All to Jesus I surrender
I surrender ALL

I am giving Him all. No reservations.

Here is a list of what I treasure.
my future, my husband, my kids, my gifts and talents, friends, my phone, my wifi, my laptop, my rights, money, my pride, my desire to get a masters, leading worship, writing music, my ambitions, my health...

More will happen. The perfect storm will come. But after the storm,... promises. The day after we lost our main income, people kept sending me pics of rainbows they saw after some rain. Coincidence? I think not. Reassurance. Reassurance that I am the apple of God's eye, the daughter of the KING, princess of God, His most worthy possession, His trophy, Jesus's bride,... that I am taken care of, much more important than the sparrows and the flowers of the fields.

After the sifting, after the perfect storm dies down, God will rain down His mercy, grace, and blessings on us. He will take care of everything and we will not be forgotten. That's what Satan wants us to believe, that we are forgotten in this time of need. No. God has not forgotten about us. And if Satan hasn't forgotten about us either and has asked to sift us, that's actually pretty good news for us as Christians. We will make Jesus famous.

Amen and Amen.

An Open Letter to FWISD School board members and fellow Fort Worth Residents

My name is Joanna Koo. I have been teaching for more than 15 years. I am currently a private music instructor but I am also a former public and private school teacher from Miami-Dade County in Florida where I taught a wide range of students including those with severe physical, social and emotional problems at a Bertha Abess Children's Center. 

I empathize with every child that has been bullied because they were too skinny or too short or too fat or too smart or too religious or too bubbly or too quiet or too different. I know what it was like to be bullied. I was often bullied as a minority, suffered depression and anxiety growing up, and went through school with a mentally handicapped brother who had stones thrown at him. However, this is not about the children, nor the adults, nor who is wrong or right. 

Before Texas and Florida, I lived in China, specifically Hong Kong, for 16 years.  We moved to Florida in 1997 because the British had to hand Hong Kong over to Communist China after a loan. My parents decided to immigrate to the land of the free because they believed that the US constitution would allow their children and children’s children grow under the protection of their own choices. 

My parents’ fears slowly came true about Hong Kong.  If you care to read about it, please research the Umbrella Movement. I was already a mother then, and was thankful that my children and grandchildren could live under the liberty and protection of “We, the people” and our choices.

My oldest child has been studying the constitution and asked me about the new bathroom guidelines and why no voting was needed to pass such an important policy that affected so many children. I didn’t know what to tell her except that no one is perfect and that people find ways to abuse their power in office. Thankfully, the Constitution and those who uphold the Constitution still exist.

From studying American history, I was inspired to learn how Americans fought for their freedom to vote and struggled to keep the Constitution intact to protect the country. Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” If we let this go tonight without repealing and putting this to a vote, how can we still call ourselves America? The deeper issue here is about what we are giving up as the People. Progress cannot be quickened by judicial tyranny but by the patient progress of the People’s choices. If this important policy is not repealed and put to a vote, it will display to the entire world, a severe symptom of a broken democracy. And to those who keep telling people like me to get with the program, I quote Captain America who said to Nick Fury regarding Project Insight,  “Don’t hold your breath.” Thank you.

new leaf

I have been on a spiritual mountain top with God for the past couple of months. I think something big is about to happen. Just don't know what. But, my spirit is refreshed and excited. I have just finished my arrangement for Star Wars beginning strings and piano arrangement so that's pretty exciting too. I have been praying to become a morning person. It's been working. I think because I want it and because I am allowing God to do His work. I wanted it before but not this much. haha...

grief

Surprisingly I have not allowed myself to grieve till today. The idea of going through grief for "losing" a baby that was not mine seemed ridiculous so my brain was stopping me from doing it. Anyway, I am now going through classic depression. Not feeling hungry, sleeping in, sleeping late, not being excited, feeling glum etc. After my cry, I feel better. I will be monitoring my progress. This psalm has been floating in me. I am learning to trust God further and deeper. Will I continue to follow Him and trust Him even though nothing made sense to me? Will I continue to put my faith in Him as I doubt His sovereignty? Have I lost perspective as I "suffer" and "surrender all"? For the past couple of years, the theme of surrendering all to Jesus have opened a portal to allowing God into everything.  

Psalm 1
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
