~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today after class I began to pray walk the school, and I saw this guy with bandages on his ankle.

So I went up to him and his friend and asked whether I could pray for him, but he told me that he needed to go to class and hurriedly walked away. His name is Charles, God please give him a miracle and heal his ankle!!

After a wonderful devotion time with Jesus, I got out my "Can I pray for you? God answers prayers" poster and walked to Ring Road, where hundreds of students pass by every day to go to class, get Starbucks, buy books, hang out, and set up booths for clubs.

On my way I saw a guy using crutches and had bandages on his left leg, so I asked him if I could pray for him. But he muttered something and quickly went past me; his friend turned around and said sorry (haha, sorry for what??). In Jesus' Name, Heavenly Father I ask that You would bring miraculous healing upon him! Amen.

I found a spot among all the club booths and held up the sign, and smiled real big (thanks for the tip Johnny! ) . Whenever anyone looked instead of just ignoring, I asked if I could pray for them.

I saw this guy looking at the poster and smiling, when he came back the second time, he walked up to me and we started to talk.

His name is Louis and he just became a Christian about two years ago (praise God!), his mom has been praying for him his entire life, and he finally encountered Jesus and became crazy passionate for Him. Louis said that God always send him someone when he is feeling down, last time he was eating in the cafeteria and he accidentally spilled his drink, embarrassed, he moved to another table, and there was a guy reading the Bible! Right now Louis is reading the Bible with commentaries found online. I was so excited as I prayed for him, then he left to catch the bus.

Then I saw Katie from Intervarsity (a Christian club) and she asked me to pray for her headache, I did and she got better. She also asked me to pray for her family because someone passed away. We encouraged each other before she left.

I was kinda dizzy from the heat but I didn't want to stand in the shadows so I prayed and a cloud came to block the sun!! Thank You Jesus, You are my cloud by day!

Then a guy walked by me and I asked if I could pray for him. I found out that he was also from Intervarsity and we talked and I prayed for him.

Later on a Muslim guy walked up to me to ask what I meant by the poster. "I'm just praying for God to bless people and for whatever else they needed, " I said. "Oh, " He said and told me that he thought I meant that people need to pray through me to talk to God. Enran, that's his name, said that people should pray directly to God and not through someone else. So I offered to pray for him and he asked me to pray for his studies. I did and he left afterwards.

Lots of people gave me prayer requests but said that they didn't have time for me to pray for them right then and there, here are some of the requests:

Patrick (the guy who said sorry to me earlier): his mother is going through hard times
Evan: his grandpa has been having frequent seizures
Brittany: her boyfriend's mom is being checked for cervical cancer
Brandon and Ana: they graduated and need to find jobs

Some people gave me weird looks, some shook their heads, but most people smiled back and said thanks.

A group of touring students went past me and a girl shouted at me, "I'll pray for you too!".

It was really exciting, God You are awesome, but I wish I could get a chance to talk to more nonbelievers. Jesus I want to see a hundred students get saved this quarter, please give me a team of nine other radical Christ followers who want to see UCI being transformed by You!

Some random stuff:

I put my food in the refrigerator in the hall kitchen and someone stole my soy milk, wholewheat bread, strawberries, cheese, ham, and an apple!! (this is one healthy thief lol !!). Ok, lesson learned, I won't put anymore food there!

Praise the Lord! I got a B on my Biology midterm!!!! Amazing!!
