Being Desperate to Enjoy Our Birthright Today

Friday, August 27, 2010

I really enjoyed the 2010 Poland camp – the general subject was the significance, preciousness, and enjoyment of the birthright in God’s economy. The birthright is the special portion of the firstborn, which, in the Old Testament, included the priesthood, the kingship, and the double portion of the land.

Enjoyment from My First Poland Camp

This was my first Poland camp and I enjoyed it so much. Enjoying the Lord with the saints… and gaining more of the Lord! I will definitely come back next year!

My Enjoyment from the Poland Camp

Friday, August 27, 2010

We have spent one week in Poland this year at the “Poland Camp” getting into The Significance, Preciousness, and Enjoyment of the Birthright in God’s Economy. What is the birthright, and why is it so important? In the old times, in a family, the firstborn son had “the birthright,” which, according to the Bible, included a double portion of the land (a double portion more than any of the other children/sons/daughters), the priesthood, and the kingship.

We Need to Enjoy Christ and be Fully in Love with Him

Friday, August 27, 2010

I enjoyed this past Poland camp very much – and here is a small portion of my enjoyment from the camp. We need to enjoy Christ and be fully in love with Him. We need to be convinced that He’s the best thing that has happened to us and could happen to anyone. If we love and appreciate Him in such way, we will be willing to give Christ to others.

Our Enjoyment of the Birthright

Friday, August 27, 2010

Just the title is filled with a wow-factor that gives me goosebumps. Saints, did you know, that you have a BIRTHRIGHT? Yes, and what a right that has been given to you just for being born—the right to the priesthood, the kingship and a double portion of the land. What does that mean?

Gas Station Salvation

Friday, February 19, 2010

Twice a year the students at UCI take the opportunity to visit various localities. This past trip was to Northern and Central California, mainly around the Bay Area and Fresno. What a privilege it was to blend with the young people, the college students, and all the saints in Santa Clara, San Jose, Pleasant Hill, Berkeley, San Francisco, Cupertino, and Fresno!

Operation Big Mountain

Monday, October 19, 2009

My university is a predominately Roman Catholic private university. I never thought that the Lord could use me or anyone else to move in this university. However, I was taken aback when what started as a Day of Spiritual Refreshment turned into a campus operation between three saints: an upper classman, my roommate, and me. On the Day of Spiritual Refreshment the Lord touched me at a meeting where the topic was to preach the gospel. At the end of the day, I took a stack of gospel tracts back to my dorm, because I wanted to slip them under the doors of my hallmates. This small start gave the upper classman, a brother named Phil, an idea. Phil contacted my roommate and I and said that he was going to order a case of 650 Bibles for America door hangers, because he felt that the students at Villanova really needed the Lord. When the door hangers came, we assembled all of them.

College Training: Christ Lives in Me

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Praise the Lord for revealing so many aspects of Himself to us and in us at the college-aged training. I am beginning to realize that I have an exceedingly rich Father who wishes to dispense all that He has to me. Simply responding to His compelling love, trusting in Him who is faithful to work out all things, and presenting ourselves as open vessels make us glorious inheritors of the hearing of faith.

College Training: Seeing Christ Causes Us to Take a Different Way

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

"And after they heard the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which they saw at its rising led them until it came and stood over the place where the child was. And when they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy... And falling down, they worshipped Him; and opening their treasures, they offered gifts to Him, gold and frankincense and myrrh... And because they had been divinely instructed in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed by another way to their country."—Matthew 2:9-12

Spending Time with the Saints in Europe

Saturday, August 15, 2009

In May 2009, the Lord granted the opportunity for a sister and me to travel to Europe. Our original plan was to visit a family, enjoy ourselves, and have a nice vacation. However, the Lord had other plans for us. We instead got knit and blended with the saints in Europe! I can truly say that spending time with the saints was the best part of our trip. We didn’t even have to be in a meeting or anything; just being with the saints such as eating dinner, talking with one another, or just even walking somewhere together was so sweet. The saints gladly opened their homes to us on short notice, provided us with food, and told us to help ourselves to anything. I felt so comfortable and right at home that many times I’d forget that I was in a foreign country. The saints usually weren’t able to show us around during the day because they had to work, so dinner was usually the time when we’d fellowship together. Even though the saints were tired from the day, they would still spend time with us whenever they could.

Attending the College Training as a Graduated Senior

Monday, August 03, 2009

The college training for me was the best possible way to start off my college years. Before going to the college training, one of my fears was that I would get lost in the world. I was scared that I would get too busy and that I would forget all about my spirit. But, by going to the college training, not only did I learn practical ways to enjoy the Lord at any moment, I also got the chance to interact with the brothers and sisters in my locality.

College Training: Our Human Spirit, Companions, and Prayer

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

As the uniquely qualified ones to preach the gospel on the campuses, the college students must realize their top responsibility: to announce the good news to the seeking ones and bring them to the Lord. During this past college training, the speaking brothers commissioned the young people to release the gospel as a wildfire on their campuses, and challenged them to bear at least one remaining fruit this coming year.

Blending Trip to Europe

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

This past summer I got a great opportunity to go to Europe. Just me and another sister spent four weeks traveling around Europe taking in all the wonderful views, going to famous places, standing in long lines, eating lots of food, eating lots of chocolate, sitting on trains, running to catch trains, getting confused, WALKING, getting no sleep, and having the best, most precious time with the saints. To sum up this trip in a few words would be insane, perhaps even impossible. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s been two months since the trip and I think I’m still experiencing the affects it’s had on me. To be frank, when I initially started planning this trip I had no conscious decision or want to really see what was on the Lord’s heart concerning Europe.

Travels to South Africa

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

I had the opportunity to go with my family to South Africa for two weeks in January 2009. The saints there do not get many visitors because it is not a place that you pass through, and it is expensive to get there. However, we decided it would be worth it to pay the price and go and be able to blend with the saints as well as see the beautiful country. We spent about six days in Pretoria. Our time there was so precious. Even though our trip was a family vacation, we split up and stayed with different saints.
