I promise to say “who is that?” and not “who dat?” from now on. true story.
next time
If there’s one phrase that I absolutely HATE with unbridled passion, it’s the phrase “next time”.
“There’ll always be next time.”
“Dude, don’t worry, next time.”
“It’s okay, maybe next time.”
“Can’t do it today, next time?”
Sure, there are a myriad of phrases that are indicative of things that can happen in the future. And I probably use these phrases as much as anyone else. But I always try and catch myself before I say “next time”.
Maybe it’s because of my upbringing. Maybe it’s because of my personality. Maybe it’s because of my dad. Maybe it’s because of Justin and Sharon.
But I hope we all think twice before we utter the words “next time”. Because who’s to say if you’ll ever get the opportunity again?
It would be a mistake to think that one’s persona accurately betrays what they’re really like inside.

here is a story that basically shocked my Christian values
when Watchman Nee was young
(if you don’t know who he is, wikipedia him)
he was in a debate with an elderly brother on a certain theological issue
but since the brother was older in age and served longer then him
it was consider impolite and wrong to rebuke him
so he went and found another elder that was older
and the elder happened to agree with Watchman’s view point
so he brought the elder with him to continue the debate with this brother
but the brother only said the following:
“Brother Nee, you still don’t understand the meaning of the cross.”
and from then on, Watchman Nee fasted 40 days for repentance.
between brothers, sometimes there is no need to establish who is right or wrong
and the meaning of the cross is to crucify our own desires, pride, ideals and value
so sometimes debates should not be exchanging bible verses
but joining each other in prayer before God despite the differences
I learned it the hard way

I think Chicago Cubs might win world series this year cuz they have Fukudome
Fukudome is a machine
when you play a Japanese baseball games
theres only 2 people with 3 stats over 90, one is Ichiro, and the other one Fukudome
Funny how the Lord is still using you to teach me things. Justin Chang, you were a man of whom the world was not worthy. Rest in peace bro.

waiting
I was talking with a coworker today, and he was talking to me about aggressiveness. In his opinion, one of the reasons for his success was a relentlessness to pursue after his target at any cost. Even at the expense of rules, or the people around him.
I realized I’m much the same way. In my mind, I think of myself being at point A, and the goal being point B. And it couldn’t be simpler to just take the most direct, quickest route from point A to point B, obliterating anything in your path. At any cost. Who cares about how you do it, get it done and move on.
However, not everything in life works that quickly. And I’ve been learning a lot lately about waiting, about the value of the refinement that comes from having to slow down, take His hand, and slog through. Because when your life is comprised of going from A to B, accomplishing goals and pulverizing the opposition, it’s easy to miss out on the journey, the process, the waiting, and what God wants you to learn from it all.
And though waiting is hard as hell, I find that His timing is usually better than mine.
