random question for you all:

If you ask someone a question, perhaps in regards to asking for something that person has or just simply asking something for it in return, whatever "IT" may be, how persistent can you be if that person says, "no" but you'd still want it from them, before you look like a complete dork.?

=D any words of wisdom much appreciated! sorry for the ambiguity. hehe

I still Believe

Scattered words and empty thoughts
Seem to pour from my heart
I've never felt so torn before
Seems I don't know where to start
But its now that I feel your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Though the questions still fog up my mind
With promises I still seem to bear
Even when answers slowly unwind
It's my heart I see you prepare
But its now, that I feel, your grace fall like rain
From every fingertip washing away my pain

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

Well the only place I can go is into your arms
Where I throw to you my feeble prayers well in brokeness
I can see that this was your will for me
Help me to know that you are near

I still believe in your faithfulness
I still believe in your truth
I still believe in your holy word
Even when I don't see, I still believe

the crash in Brazil- from one of our EM members...

The plane that was recently crash in Brazil was my parents' flight. Dear God. I didn't even know about that until Roomie told me about the crash. When he got home it was around 7:10pm ish. He was wondering and asking me questions- if that was the flight that my folks were on, etc. So I read all my precious e-mail just to double check. Nothing. Dear God, I pray that they are ok and weren't on that flight (as I thought to myself). So I told Roomie that they are in the Amazon Jungle like the e-mail said... but I was worried... so I send an e-mail to my folks just in case... as I pray silently and watch a Disney channel show on my computer... I prayed that my folks are doing a okay...RING... 7:37pm... Out of area... I wonder is this Brazil... GOOD NEWS or is it Bad News... Oh God... As I wonder "now"... Wait!!! people in Brazil doesn't know my number only my folks... can it be... Yes, its a female voice... but no it doesn't sound like mom...Hello... as I reply back... Did you heard about the flight in Brazil, Andrew... It's me... Mom... and Dad is here somewhere in the airport... and yes, that was our flight that recently crash... and no, we weren't onboard... the flight was delay from the other airport... at least for 5 hrs... so we are doing 'OK' for now... Thank God... the flight was delayed... Gotta go and find your Dad... Hopefully, you, Hannah, Jonathan and Michelle are doing fine... Call you back hopefully soon... Pray for us... So it was Mom and the flight that crash was their flight... Dear God, Thank You for the delay and for their safety. You do always watch over us no matter what. Thank You... As I pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Amen

Please continue to pray for our folks' safety and for others who you know that are traveling... Thank You... ROOT (Phil 2)

and if you are still wondering its' Hannah and Andrew Chung's folks that are traveling in Brazil. They won't be back for at least another 2 weeks. Many of us already knows that their folks are away. Hannah is staying with Michelle while Andrew is staying with Jonathan til their folks are back. Pray for them. Thank YOU.
