Horrifying nightmare
Yesterday night I had the most horrifying nightmare I have ever had in my entire life. What I was dreaming was that I was in a room and there were other people in the room as well. But all of these people that were Asian, (I think they were Korean), were trapped in a area where a brown net was covering them. I had a knife and set them free. Then all of a sudden, this guy starts shooting everyone and kills a people. Somehow me and another person survive. Then the gunman starts chasing me and wants to kill me. I run and hide behind these tables in a college like classroom auditorium. The nightmare was so real I could see him shooting at me and I could literally feel the bullets flying past me. What was interesting is that none of them hit me. I was running everywhere trying to get away from the gunman who was consistently shooting bullets at me. I remember there was one part of the nightmare where I was sprinting down the aisle of this huge college classroom going down the steps when I encountered the gunman. He was reloading his gun and I had two choices: I could either hide from the gunman again under a table, or I could stand up and run in front of the gunman and escape through the door. I did feel that I wanted to run through the door, but I just couldn't. I was stuck because I was so scared and was hesitating. So what did I do? Well one thing I knew, I was scared of running away. I needed to make a stand, and take action. I remember my friends's dad told me "don't be afraid." From that moment, my nightmare stopped. I believed that the Lord was showing me a vision of some kind of situation that I was going to encounter later. I don't know if it was true or not, but I'll see. I will talk with the Lord about it, but that was one frightening dream!

Today I had to take my friend to this golf range in this area called Sunol to check if his golf club was still there. Then we came back home and hung out a little, before we decided to get lunch. We left to have lunch at Taco Bell, even though I was kinda mad my friend ordered a chicken quasadilla. Afterwards, I needed to drop him off at home. Later I had to go to the bank to get cash, and then buy groceries. Today was a pretty rough day, and it was hard, but I can persevere through the Lord. He is the one that gives me the strength to cope with life's problems every day. God is praised every day. Amen.

This early afternoon I needed to go get gas for my car and then came back home to relax for a little before taking off to my dentist. They told me that I need to get two fillings for my two bottom wisdom teeth because I think they told me that I have two cavities. Not a good thing, yikes. Then later on in the evening I went to Jack in the Box to eat my dinner. While I was there I place a Mark Cahill tract booklet on top of the hand dryer in the bathroom to give people a surprise when they see it. :) When I was in my car, I accidentally spilled a little bit of my Dr.Pepper on the passenger seat. I cleaned it a little, but I'll have to clean it more either tonight or tomorrow. And of course I read my devotional, that I need to start doing instead of slacking off on it. And then tomorrow I need to take a friend of mine to a driving range that we were before so he can see if his club that he left is still there. My first day of college starts next Monday and I am excited, yet nervous at the same time. I also have to purchase groceries for tomorrow. My days are going to be growing busier but with the Lord, I can persevere through everything. "I can do all things through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13. Amen!

Tonight was the night I was about to go witnessing with a Christian family and part of their Church joined as well. After worship, prayer and bible study, we left to the Great Mall handing out pamphlets about a Christian event that my Christian family's Church building was hosting. Some people didn't want it, and some people did. But the main purpose was that we got the pamphlets out of our hands and into the hands of lost people to invite them. I walked up to these two teenagers to witness to them. I found out that one of the teenagers friend was autistic and so I could not talk with him. But I got to talk with the other teen who's name was Danish. He was a Muslim and told me the common beliefs that all Muslims believe such as: they don't believe Jesus was the Son of God, they don't believe He did on the Cross and rose from the dead, they believe He is just a prophet. I find it interesting in Luke 9:18-20 which is Peter's profession of Christ and who Peter says Jesus is after He asks Him. "Once when Jesus was praying in private and his disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life." "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God." Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God who was sent to die for all the sins of mankind. Me and Danish talked and talked and I shared with him the Ten Commandments, repentance, the cross, etc. then I gave him a tract booklet after. Then my Christian friend continued talking with the person I just stopped talking with! God is so faithful, you just have to do your part and God will do His by using another believer to continue the conversation or a new one. What was interesting was that my Christian friend Perry told Danish that he was Muslim for 23 years. I have never heard that before from him and I thought that was very interesting. Then afterward when I was talking with a Christian friend, I told her that I wanted to witness to this young teenage stranger sitting down. I walked up to him and asked him "hey man, how you doing? Can you help me out? I'm working on a project." He said sure and then I asked him "Well I am asking the question if you died tonight are you 100% assured you would go to Heaven?" He told me that he doesn't believe in the Heaven and Hell type of afterlife, so I asked him what he did believe in. He told me he believed in reincarnation, so me and him talked about it for a little. I asked him what his name was and he said Peter. I shared with him the Ten Commandments, repentance, the cross, blood of Jesus Christ, etc. He also told me stories too. He told me that he believed in ghosts as well because he said that when he was going to sleep one night, the door just shut right as if it was an invisible force. Of course there is no such things as ghosts, but demons do exist and will try to take us away from the living God who is the Lord Jesus Christ. Satan exists and will tempt us believers to fall away. We must stand strong with the truth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Peter also told me that the greatest pursuit is to struggle to live. Isn't that true for all of us? We are in a daily battle every day fighting against trying to live in this world and we struggle with all of these responsibilities in life. And most of the time we have no control over any of them. I am struggling right now trying to live alone and it's tough, it's not easy. But one thing I have that most lost people in the world don't is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the reason I live and I breath every day. Without Him, I am literally nothing. The Word of God is our fuel to live and to survive on this world. Peter also told me another interesting thing how he grew up Buddhist, since both his parents were, but he believed in reincarnation since that is a very popular belief in Hinduism. But was was even more interesting than that was even though he did not believe in Jesus, he saw the passion of the Christ and that just tore him. He acknowledged how much Jesus suffered even though he didn't believe in Him, and the torment he endured while here on earth. He told me people could not stand to watch that since it was so gruesome with all that blood and gore that Jesus shed. But Jesus did that all for us and shed his blood so we can be forgiven of all of our sins. After I talked with Peter I told him that I shared all of this with him because I cared about his soul and where he would spend eternity. During the conversation earlier he was smoking a lot and it was in my face and I had trouble breathing and Peter asked me if I was alright. I told him that I was and he told me that I was freaking him out and he was concerned about me. And then later on when I was finishing up the conversation near the end before I gave him a tract booklet, his friend was coming near us to smoke. Peter told his friend "don't come near him. He's been exposed to a lot of second hand smoke." When you stand up for Jesus Christ, lost people will make a stand for you. Please pray for Danish and Peter to come to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Praise the Lord!!!
