Overcomer, Pastor Craig

Overcome things to build our faith.

1. With Christ, You Are An Overcomer
Romans 8:31-32, 35, 37

We still battle trouble or hardship; persecution, famine, danger.
We are more than conquerors, through Christ who loved us.
Hupernikao (hoop-er-nik-ah'-o): to vanquish beyond recognition, gain o decisive victory, exceedingly more than a conqueror.

John 16:33 though we are more than conquerors doesn't mean we won't have troubles. We will overcome these things through Christ, by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.


As An Overcomer

1. Fight With Conquering Attitudes.

We always have a victim thinking, that we will never get out of our problems; depression, sadness, loneliness etc.

2 Corinthians 10:5
Always know that we can do it through Christ.
Nothing can seperate us from God

Psalm 18:29
Stop whining and start thinking/doing that God can bring us through our walls

2. Fight With Spiritual Weapons!
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
Divine powers to fight.
Don't think that all we can do is pray.
Fight like a Man of God.
Affirm that God can do it.

2 Corinthians 4:7-9
1 John 4:4
No weapon formed against us shall prosper.

Who do you think you are?

Without Christ, there's something wrong with you.
Eph. 2:1, 3-5.

With christ you are God's master piece.
Eph. 2:8-10
Salvation is not for the good things we have done.
We are saved for good works.
We are saved by grace by faith through Christ.
God don't make no junk.

As God's Masterpiece

You are created for the Master's purpose,work.
Psalm 139:13-16

We are created at this time for this time.
But we some times don't know what's the master purpose.

If you don't know the pupose of the thing you will abuse it.
The oxygen mask xD

You have everything you need to do everything that God wants you to do.
2 Peter 1:3

We sometimes envy others, and forget what we are and what God wants us to do.
Stop looking at what we can't do and then we can see what we can do. Believe it!

God uses everything to bring about His purposes.
Romans 8:28

God takes/uses the hard things and bad things for your own good. But not for anyone but only for those who love Him and is called according to His purpose.

If you don't like your life.
Let God remake you.
Jeremiah 18:3-4

God is the potter we are the clay. If we don't agree with what we have done let Him remold us.

Major Accomplishment

At the plight of snow going away, the sun is coming back unto Abilene =)
Everything is starting to grow again and I can't wait to see when everything is all green and to say Spring is here =D

"Wheresss that wabbitttt" =B

This week I manage to accomplish something!

I wore less clothes!!

I'm so proud of myself, usually, because of the cold, I would wear for layers of clothes.

Then since last week I manage to slowly cut down to TREE layers =)

On Tuesday I wore 2!!!!

Then yesterday I only had a shirt and jeans.

Finally..

today I wore my crocs.. a shirt... SHORT pants.

GASPINGGGG FIVEEEE

It's still cold in the morning, and when it's chapel time and we have to walk to the back of the school where there is less sunlight, I'll get shivers but I'm getting used to it =D

Ok so on the topic of coldness in Abilene.

It's equal to a meat freezer =)

*LoL just played a word in Word For Friends on my phone and owned with the word gramp for 42 points =) with the help of a word builder*

The cold here is not like the kind of cold where by we step outside and don't feel cold. It's like you open the door and bang its just cold cold cold cold. So cold that if you don't use lotion your skin will start to crack and it hurts.

When it gets to below 0 Celsius its just so hard to get around, the fact that my classes are not in an enclosed building makes it worst. Getting to the first class is hard, warm up then after 45mins I have to change class and start the whole process again. To put my bum on a cold seat is so cruel =( worst than that is to put my bum on a cold toilet seat, life changing period.

I kinda get now why my sister now says 14-16 Celsius is warm and can sweat XD

Yesterday my host mom told me

"Danzel.. at night you need to watch out, because theres coyotes running about outside."

Stories of giant spiders

scorpions

weird bugs

big bugs

rattle snakes

Classmates trying to pull a prank at night at my place, which reminds me to remind them bout the coyotes,

Life's really lonely on the ranch =D

Oh and when I come home, I like to sing home home on the range =P

Until something exciting happens =)

TREE Trees =)

Bro post

Do I hate blogging?

Well, yes I do! =D

Firstly, I miss my wingman!

Do you know how hard it is to keep in contact with people living 14hours away!

It's like when I'm awake they are asleep and when I'm asleep their awake.

Oh honey :/

Everyday I crave for Nasi Lemak, I long for the burn that I can feel from the start to the end as it leaves me. I want the half cooked fried egg to just spill its glorious substance into my mouth.

I miss curry mee, how it holds me with its thick mee, while covering me with bee hoon.

Anyways this post is definitely for Lenix!

Cause I can' speak to him for a long time so I can't tell him what has been happening.

Okay so... everyone in Abilene is nice. Like really nice, because the people are nice so Abilene must be nice lor? Right? Right?

Studying here was kinda weird I mean like I wasn't use to taking notes and listening to some one TEACHING, gosh its been like freaking long since I was in a classroom sitting on a desk listening to some one. I have like 8 periods of 45mins everyday. school starts at 8:00 and like from 8:00-8:40 I have a subject called Math Applications its like normal math that we all learn but it's on a computer. So everyday I have to go to the lab a.k.a computer room I didn't know that =P First like 2-3 weeks I didn't do anything in that class because they have not sent me the program so I sat there like an idiot looking at people do math for the first few days, after that I started playing minesweeper and people got mesmerized by the malaysian intelligence I had =D

But on the computer I used to use there was some idiot's high score that I couldn't beat so I hated that. After a few days from school I started to get work so I studied in that class, nothing much else to do. Then I finally got my program and the teacher, Mrs. Mckonell (something like that la == its not like she'll fail me for not spelling her name right in math), moved me 2 rows down and i started using that computer, later on that computer got screwed up because I was too awesome(the program couldn't start some error problem), then I moved one more row down and thats where I am currently sitting.

How does the program work?

Its like you start it up and load your profile then on it, it has like 10 topics of math divided into like about 10 sections with a review at the end. Anyways dont think so canggih its a simple program.

Questions page taking up 3/4 of screen while the other quarter is like buttons to press.

So how to get pass each sections? You have to take a test(or as they say it "certify") then you do about 10-20(maybe) questions and if you dont get mistakes that goes pass the mistake limit then you get a CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU HAVE BEEN CERTIFIED!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! You print out the slip and pass it to the teacher, but now she says dont print it just tell her. Others have to show her, but I dont cause she trust me =D YAY!

Okay... thats first period phew..

Its like 8:45-9:00 i think..After first period on mon,wed,fri we have chapel, while on tues & thurs its homeroom like a class meeting.

2nd period is GOV/ECON 9:00/05-9:45/50 I took the class to review H&G but so happens the teacher(Mrs. robbins) says we dont need history so shes gonna teach us about Econ cause we all going to college ==......

But shes the funniest teacher out of all.

Then we have break at like 9:50 if you dont line up fast the food finishes thats annoying ==.

The break food that is served is nice I think you would like it but after awhile everyone gets sien of the pizzas imagine a small circle pie and thats the pizza =) They have donuts everyday and it aint the stale kinds its like eating j.co its soft.

Thats what they serve all the times but other days theres nicer stuff like bread with egg and meat or like sausages or french fries, or other stuff which I still dono 0.o

So the break ends at like 10:05-11 then 3rd period ENGLISH*jeng.. jeng jeng....* at like 10:10

I really don't like english now, last time I didnt mind it but now I dont.

Her name is Mrs. Gillberth a great a teacher and super strict teacher, nice person, a more cultured version of teacher evelyn but shes a better person, sometimes =P

Anyways the work she gives is hard =/ and not simple I guess its good for me but I hate it.

11:00-11:40

Then next period, 4th period Bible I like Bible cause its in the same room and I dont have to walk out of the class and I also have the books I need in my bag so I just sit there. Bible class is easy =) and interesting, Mr. & Mrs. Fisher teaches us, mostly the teaching is done by the wife. on wed, we have a thing called Pals whereby seniors are partnered with little kids and you just hang with them during their lunch time and play with them afterwards, I have this kid called sidney nice boy likes football and plays it all the time, commentates his own games too XD knows whats his talkng about but i dont XD

11:50-12:40

Next is biology, the most lawless class XD cause you can use your phone or listen to music and do whatever if the teacher(Dr.Hood, a woman) is not teaching. Biology, well theres not really any teaching to it, she just gives us notes and we fill them up with our biology book and after a few weeks she gives us a test which she tells us what to study. Thats how biology should be taught!! =P

After this is lunch and sometimes Dr.Hood lets us out early, but sometimes not, only if your leaving campus to go and eat. As seniors we're really quite free and easy we get to leave campus whenever we want as long as theres no class. we dont get study halls(study by yourself) but free period. Best part about biology is that I can take dual credit and bring it over to uni =) so i get like 4hours for 200+ doauwwwlars but right now, as usual, im getting problems with the registrations la the payment la, and even telling me im not in the class la ==!!!!

Ok so lunch either eat in or out, I rarely eat out only if like they offer. But lunch is fine at school aint that bad and its not like its not edible. Though a tad bit exp =).

eat eat eat bla bla bla 1:10 is the next period

1:15-2:00

6th period CISBA, Mrs. HATTICKS. Gosh that teacher has some kind of problem with the class except for special people, shes the only teacher who told me my hair is long and that I need to cut it == screwed up teacher. CISBA is computer class. Right now we're on video editting as you know already. They just extended..

Damn just went to the school website to check my english grades and she still hasnt mark my test gosh so stressful...

they just extended the dateline for the video to be dued few less stress.

Ok so next is 7th period 2:05 to 2:45, mon, wed I have english/reading lab. Mrs. Gillberth again its like to help those who are sitting for SAT or ACT or like me GED or like me again both =). Its a random class just really random like sometimes its work sometimes its not sometimes she just asks us to do something else. On tues,thurs I have choir its fun sometimes but really annoying cause no kawan/gang to hang with. The worst part you those like of orang hitam dari Ahfreeka like cakap banyak, hypocrites, dia duduk di kanan saya. Anyways so it ishmeih of the ashsay? =P lol.. does kind of people who get on your nerves even though their not your nerves, spoils the period. LOL.... =P my choir teacher are Mrs.baker and Mrs.Rosie really funny partners XD

On fridays 7th period is free period for me so I usually go to the library and talk with the librarian Mrs. Louise a really sweet lady, love having conversations with her, either that or I study or angry birds =)

2:50-3:40

8th period, mon,wed,fri its Anthropology while tues,thurs I can live school early if I want to but usually i just chill till school over then go home. So Ted Presley teaches that subject. I get dual credit for this class too. Ted Presley is the same person from Eli360 so in class I usually have problems to what to call him mr. presley? ted? opa? XD opa is just for fun, german for grandfather SO WHAT IF YOU KNOW THAT ILL STIL TELL U =P

Anthropology is hard to understand but its really good la, he teaches like in university style so its hard to grasp, its those kind of classes you just wade tru it.

After all that at 3:40 school is over.

Thats how I spend my days =D

EVERYDAY school like that took a long while to get used to it weihh.

First few weeks I have to keep looking at the schedule paper after each class to know whats next, which room to go to, and whos the teacher ==!!!

School life, friends and all well its like normal thing clicks as usual, not everyone is everyone's friend but since its Abilene and Abilene is nice THUS formulating that they are candy? =D

The international students hang together, but more specifically the asians =)

I have a couple of frens but not alot and not a bunch lols. Luckily still got my awesome frens at hsu and lubbock! phew.

Days are fun when I get to hang out with steph caryn and more malaysians, the song of malaysians talking is like tanbun biscuits =) lols i kno i totally said that correclty =P

staying at home is either boring or studying with stress ntothing much =/

Which is why i prefer hanging with everyone from hsu from happening, malaysian gossiping, thumbs up.

Bro FIVE!!

Okay this like my daily life church on sundays i to go steph's church called ubc, it has a band. O m g man, I cant stand acapella and hymns sometimes organs. ITS TOO TORTURINGGGG dude when you come here ill bring you to their usual chuches =P then show you to ubc then can appreciate it dy XD
