hey whats up
i have to say, this year has been awesome and God has provided me with answer(s) i wanted to know for a long time. Also the year of the pig, coincidence? anyways...
First things first, prayers for the injured cop...hope he gets well soon. kinda felt bad afterwards knowing he couldn't be there to prosecute me for my two traffic tickets. I was so darn nervous! the first 3 people who had tickets, the cops that prosecuted them didn't even show up. the scariest thing was that before the court session started, a cop pulled up the prosecutor chair and sat down. The clerk came in and talked to the cop and i overheard that he was in court the whole day. EEK! so after the first 3 defendants had their charges withdrawn, i was like, oh man, that must be the cop!.
They called my name,
"What is your name sir?" the judge asked
"Kim Choy" i replied.
"Police officer did not show because he is injured, charges have been withdrawn" said the clerk.
"You may leave now, sir." said the judge.
"Thank-you" i said.
phew, smile, walked out of the courtroom. I called all the people that were in my car that night i got the ticket and they were over- gratefully glad that i was okay. In times of troubles, i know i still have friends who i can turn to.
Then on the same day, i came back home and got my acceptance letter for the Fall2007 term into Business Management- Level 2. Finally!!!!! it took them forever. They lost my application (i handed it in on Feb 19) and i found they lost it in March. Retarded Ryerson. G-R-R-R. I resubmitted my application Mid-April and i finally got it this past monday. Those were the two biggest things i was waiting for this year and prob the two biggest things i had to wait for this year.
I know i don't pray enough, don't read the bible enough, don't fellowship enough and God still shows his GRACE throughout all my problems in my life. Obstacles i should know i can overcome. He is always there for me and i know i can't rely on others for hope and the future.
SOFTBALL season. I passed the CCSA ump test, with 5 minutes of studying. hehehe
doing two teams this year but more of a leadership in the CCSA league. (Co-Governor and Head Ump) so i think i will take more preference in playing Rock (CCSA league) this year, though i know SWAT (TCSA league) will have an awesome year. I will definitely miss some of SWAT's games this year with ump and CCSA games but its okay since i took preference on SWAT last year.

First post of the year
Its been awhile, and it has always been. nowadays, i can't waste my time typing up what i've done so far in my lfie but i've come back to since i an bored of studying.
very rocky year so far, don't think i've made any progress of my new years resolution yet. i.e losing the 20 pounds from late november to the end of december.
steps i gotta work on:
1) sit-ups (full, and sides) gotta get this stomach down
2) endurance
gotta catch up with academics.
-want to go watch Primeval (the movie about the US's most prolific killer in history like 300 kills or something like that)
- living the new Christian life? its so easy to forget that God is with you all the way. I want to live a life that commanded me to live and i see that its the ONLY way to live. what if i die tonight? in my sleep? what do i tell God? gotta make a more consciencious motion towards that life today, before its too late.
- the lady? haha yea, i got one. i have to consider myself lucky to get one and its even more incredible that she is with me to this day. i still remember while i was single, i wouldn't worry cuz God provides and all but its still possible to get nervous..., and i believe that God has placed an oppurtunitiy in front of me so that i will become a better person and letting me know that i have to cherish God's creation with care and tenderness. Pray to God to open my heart and my mind to become a man of God for her. =) its a working relationship, nothing can be perfect in an instant, its how we both need to put the puzzle together perfectly.
- laters, be back with ya'll soon =)

My Testimonial
I’ve been going to church since grade 4 but I was not brought up in a Christian household. I was introduced to church by my uncle who had just came back from work or school over in Alberta. I met new people and a society I had never known, but the only thing that kept me going were the free lunches after service, which were on my Uncle, of course. I grew up, physically, mentally, and with the knowledge of the bible, but there was one thing missing in my life, but I didn’t know until the summer after grade 10, or 2000. It was a year of horrendous awakening to life, like getting fifty something on my grade 11 math and being Asian at the same time? How could it be? Or getting myself hurt in a relationship. Being a teen wasn’t so easy. Then the summer came and I went to my first retreat ever. In the first night of the retreat, during worship, with the song- God of Wonders playing in the background, I fell into utter amazement at the star-filled sky and at the same moment, I met God and I believed. The next 6 years were no walk in the park either, falling in and out of church with university as the priority from my parents, and my personal relationship with Jesus wasn’t as steady. I needed to escape from the familiar confines of my old church and begin anew. In the beginning of this year, I moved to TCAC and the I met a great deal of knowledge, arguments, and challenges in service and in Sunday school class. I believe Jesus has saved me from my sins, and from that, I will make everything in my life glorify His name and that this life of mine, I owe it to Him. I believe God has asked me now, to take the next step in my journey with Jesus and I gladly take it as my burden and my desire.

This coming week...
before we get on to this coming week, we gotta reflect on last week.
Hectic at work. Hollister. the CEO/President of Abercrombie was coming in and we were staying till like the next morning of the next day for work. CRAZY.
the devo that caught my eye was this one, on November 3:
Counted Faithful
And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, becuase He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. 1 Timothy 1:12
thoughts of this passage:
I truly do thank God for giving me time, taking me away from Engineering, and taking away my pride. I have been humbled and down to my knees. I have reached the bottom of the barrel and i'm still alive. To tell you guys the truth, this has been my WORST year ever, living on this earth. School, Family and everything you can think of.
But it has also given me the freedom to dwell in my spiritual gifts a bit. Growing up Ontario, we had to learn the recorder in grade 1-3, a real instrument by grade 6 to 8, flute was my choice of weapon, and then whatever you wanted to do afterwards was you own choice. I chose the guitar and for all you don't know, i just started in late February and early March. I am blessed for playing at the CCF retreat and just learning more and more lessons in doing God's work. And now, i get to serve at a church, TMPC, and i'm so happy to serving God and doing His work.
and with serving God, i think its time to get baptized. To believe is to ask for salvation, to get baptized is to grow in Christ and declare you will follow Him the rest of you life. I really don't remember when i actually decided to follow God, i am gonna assume it was a progressive thing instead, but i remember one of the very first times i actually felt His presence. It was the summer of grade 12, when Kyrios fellowship went camping. It was at night and sound carried far in the middle of the night. The sky was clear. The stars were everything. I looked up, and saw, and this was the very first time. It was beautiful. Stars reached in all directions and for as long you can see from human eyes. This was the moment i knew God wanted me to meet Him. The greatest thing was, it was with all my closest brothers and sisters at that time. And it was during worship that every word stuck to my head and made sense. This one song has been with me ever since:
God of Wonders
Lord of all creation
of Water, Earth and Sky
Heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on High
God of Wonders beyond our galaxy
You are Holy, Holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are Holy, Holy
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When i stumble in the darkness,
I will call your name by night
Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth.
and thats when i knew i was a Christian. I have asked for His salvation, and though i am NOT worthy of it, He still gives me it.
con't with the devo:
Your ability to serve God is not based on your past, but on your faithfulness today. If you are faithful with the task God entrusts to you, God will enable you to accomplish it. Don't distinguish between big and small assignments from God.
This coming week, i have something special planned for my "special" one. I'm gonna say it right here right now. The surpise hopefully gonna be nice and special and that she will remember. I hope she will like it. The surprise is not tha big compared to the importance of her being in my life. The surprise is______________________. hope you like it hun. ;) did i surprise you? i knew it!

a new season
so... who's tuned in for the new raptors season???? I AM!!!
lots of new faces, new talent, new chemistry....it smells like Christmas to me!! lol a lot more hope than the last three years and a heck of a lot more "players". people who actually know how to play the game of basketball. With Aruajo out, thank God!, and the people who were taking up space at the end of the bench- loren woods, we finally have something to cheer for in the next 3 or so years. Unlike the Leafs, i think the Raptors have more of chance to win a championship team LOL.
yea its basketball season and i was holding it in, even during the preseason, trying to catch on to every single raptors highlights on nba.com or youtube.com lol.
i need to update more don't i? blog stalkers everywhere...hinthint, i'm talking to you lol. thanks to those to keep up with me and like to reflect on their life and how it is treating them. i feel this is a tiny window to my life, but sometimes i do wish it was a little bit bigger and a lot more expressive sometimes, but yeah....
I've read this somewhere:
"No one ever ruined their eyesight by looking at the bright side of life"
and i truly thank God for being there in my life, providing me with food, chinese(but loving as well =P) parents, a roof over my head, a decent job to pay for my tuitions that i actually enjoy working at, and great friends who keep each other on track. Am i happy with my life, for most part yes, but thinking of the future, i need to take my life more serious and make a brilliant effort to get out of the rut i'm in. i have a long way to go, and the roads aren't straight, but with God by my side, anything is possible if you just believe...
Grace, Mercy and Peace. (taken from Experiencing God, my new devo book)
Grace- the unearned gifts the Father bestows on His children.
Mercy- God withholding the punishment we deserve because of our sinfulness
Peace- the state of mind and heart we experience when we are confident of God's grace and mercy towards us.
I feel so bad sometimes when i take advantage of situations where God has given me freedom to do what i always wanted to do and then i forget about Him. Its like letting it slide, and where you shouldn't have, you did. Us humans are forgetful beings.
I need to feel God's grace and mercy within me. I need to stop being forgetful and focus on the things that are needed of me. Not get distracted by things that can pull me down. I need to listen to Him. only then can i ever find peace in my life and with Him.
