Spring have arrived beautifully.

I used to see people dressed in thick coats and mufflers. Now, they are in T-shirts and berms and short mini skirts.

It is refreshing though. Coming back from Spring break made me saw a different Mannheim. One that is more cheerful and joyous.

There are some things God is showing me about myself recently.

1) I am a perfectionist. And when I am not careful about it, I can anger people rather easily.

2) I can be rather hard on myself. Sometimes, I clearly know it is not my fault, but I keep thinking it is my fault and feel bad about it and become emo.

3) I was very adventurous and book a overnight bus from Berlin to Amsterdam ALONE, in the end i got scolded by 2 people and I decided to take a train instead.

I realized God is very graceful and gracious. He knows that I am young and bound to make mistakes, so He allows me to learn. He also send people in my life to protect me fiercely. And I thank God for them.

I have taken some time to listen to the online sermons. I call them webcasts.

and somehow really, i feel that the entire spiritual atmosphere in fcbc is changing. there is something new and glorious, ready to burst out. A new level of faith i think. and somehow suddenly, i look forward to go back to church.

Faith is acting on the person of God.
- Everything I do must be on the basis that God exists. I pray that God will teach me even in exchange, to be generous, to love my neighbours.

Faith is acting on the power of God
-God's world is a world of supernatural, of seeing the invisible, of a reality greater than that.
- We are operating things in a natural world, but be driven by the reality of the supernatural
- so that we will not work by logic, but by faith, tapping on the supernatural
- do not be block by the successes, but grow ten times more than that. YOU DO NOT RETURN TO WHERE YOU ARE, YOU GO BEYOND TT.
- I sense from the holy spirit that i am often hindered by a series of success and high faith journeys that i went through w God before, and i sense that the holy spirit telling me I need to go beyond this. all these are not enough. its sin to think that it is enough.

Faith is acting on the purpose of God
- who you marry, what you do, the school tt you are in, are shaped by the dream. seeing this dream in your heart: faith. :)
