REDLINE Men's Conference and my NEW baby...

REDLINE MEN'S CONFERENCE Rocked!! Man it was an awesome time of worship, fellowship and preaching, all done with my brothers in Christ. The preachings were just riveting. This guy, Bishop Joseph Garlington was juz amazing. he had a sidekick named Clarence, who had piano skill i was drooling over. he just created the awesome atmosphere for the preaching. Joseph spoke on knowing God's will for your life. I liked what he said about those who worry whether they are in God's will or not....

If you want to be in God's will, ask Him to put you there.

It's no point asking God over and over again whether you're in His will, just ask him to put you there and have faith that He will :)

He spoke about 5 constants that you face on a God given mission for your life:
a) Enemies
"Without Goliath, David would only be a kid who threw rocks". Enemies WILL come and stand in our way, no question about it. The thing is, God KNOWS that the enemy is there, but he sends us on the mission anyway, so that we will learn to deal with them.

b) Destructive and Constructive Elements
These are elements that tear down strongholds and build altars in your life. And everytime were tearing down stuff which is not in God's will, the bible says were untying the works of the enemy. How powerful is that! By getting ourselves right, were actually undoing what the devil did and maybe even helping someone else get themselves right :)

c) Opposition
1 Chorinthians 16:9 says that a wide door avails itself but there are adversaries in the way. Whenever a door is open, there will be opposition that will try and stop you because Opportunity is preceeded by opposition. But on the other hand, opposition is an indicator that were right on track in our mission for him. Reminds me of James 1:3 ... ( and Hau Wei grins as he reads this... :D Bro ur on the right track, keep at it!)

d) Requirement in courage
A possible acronymn for FEAR could be False Expectations Appearing Real. Fear is a decision; either we submit to it or resist it. the choice is ours. Psalms 23 comes to mind. i'm so thankful he's always there to walk me through my mission.

e) Nothing Happens in the Kingdom until SOMETHING is said.
Words CAN become worlds. If you need to say something that will encourage or correct someone else, please do it because don't expect changes until something is said.

This message just blew me away. Couldn't help thinking how much the girls (who were having thier own girly PJ party hehe) missed. This word wasn't ONLY meant for men, but it was something every christian should embrace. the other speakers also did extremely well, and overall this Men's Conference was just an awesome time for me. (although i didn't really get the car bashing bit....and why we got skittles...hehe)

Anyways i wanna take some time to introduce you guys to my new baby....she's NOT a musical instrument this time. She somewhat complicated and very very delicate....Meet Ms. Loudness Indicator!!

I told you she was complicated stuff hehe. Basically what this does is it takes in audio signals via the mic on the left and it will light up the LED's on the right according to the loudness of the input sound based on a logarithmic scale. All in all this baby consists of 34 resistors, 6 OP AMPS, 5 LED's, 3 capacitors, a diode and a mic, totalling at 50 components!! (to put things in perspective, other projects have only about 11 components on average). i'm soooo proud of my baby!! (oh yeah she's actually shared between me and Prasad :P)

She's going for assessment on Monday. i hope she shines her cute lil LED's for all to see hehehehehe.....:D. Couldn't have done it without the help (and patience) of my group partner. Man this semester's getting nuttier by the day. thanks for getting me through the MIPS test man....the stuff u told me b4 the test came out exactly as u said it ... phew~
