You just have to stop, in order to start another new page in growing in Christ. And what happened in the past few years were precious because those days are leading you to where you are now. I was happy to see the "then" Jaeson, and even more thankful to see the "now" you. Jaeson, you are truly a blessing to many lives - not because of the impressive job you did in the past, but actually by stopping what you have been doing and show us with your action what is truly important. Looking forward to seeing a fresh Jaeson living moments with beloved Jesus!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-75912546647533266242008-10-07T00:14:00.000-07:002008-10-07T00:14:00.000-07:00The message you have written up 8 months ago speak...The message you have written up 8 months ago speak straight to me at this very moment, Jaeson!

You said you're going to rest, but you still came to Taiwan (Kaoshiung)and held the special meetings. Oh, you must be very tired talking for 2 days straight :( But I must thank you for that. You called us to be "campus missionaries" and that stroke me really hard. My bro and sis all said that I've changed. <BR/> I wish you can start resting, for it's important to take care of your body and your relationship with God. Your entry also gives me a warning not to be in a rush and forget what God really wants. I can now understand why my father keeps telling me to be "balanced" after I told him about the campus church planting plan. Take care! I will pray for you and of course, the revival. So don't worry about pacing yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-4543264077757844142008-02-03T01:40:00.000-08:002008-02-03T01:40:00.000-08:00jaeson, i am so blessed by reading your entry. i f...jaeson, i am so blessed by reading your entry. i feel like God has been doing the same thing in my life recently... asking me to slow down and take a breather from the stress of work. In fact, He pretty much took me out of my job abruptly, and although it was not the way I wanted to go, I praise His name because finally I feel at peace and actually rested. I've always valued my relationships and I think they were becoming a bit sour; now that I'm no longer working, I am happier and also I think I can improve my relationships. And it's true - relationships are truly such a gift from God...you really can create such moments of pure joy and meaning that no pictures are needed; it'll stay with you forever anyways. I hope you create a lot of those moments, Jaeson, while resting and rekindling that intimate, child like intimacy with the Lord. He is good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-80101144393062258992008-01-31T20:00:00.000-08:002008-01-31T20:00:00.000-08:00Jaeson-- appreciate your honesty and heart.

There is nothing more powerful than discovering that we just ARE significant... period... without any doing. What a joy and relief to come to that place of rest in the Father's arms and to enjoy the relationships we are made for.

In my own way I can relate to your struggles, especially with the lack of isolation in my life. I am not in "ministry" so to speak, but I do work quite a lot, the problem is I have to. At least for now, But I am reminded of when I was in prison and the way that God used it for His glory. The times that I had alone with Him in prison are some of the best "moments " in my life.

Believe it or not, I really admire your humility and honesty. So many ppl can talk about how many good things are happening around them, but not everyone can be so open about the struggles happening in their lives. Thank you for taking the courage to be SO REAL. :)<BR/><BR/>I still remember back in HK when I had my skin problem for years, u prayed for me and said, "your hope is not in god's healing for you, but your hope is in His LOVE for you." When I changed the focus on His love, I started to sense his supernatural JOY! hoorah! hahaha and then, as u saw.. my skin really got healed after... woohoo! He's such a great God :) I pray that day and night His love would pour down on you extravagantly....and even as you go do ministry in Taiwan and HK, I pray that you'll be able to find God in the secret place, just as you found Him back in your freshmen dorm years ago. May He have his mobile presence with you always wherever you go! ;) And I pray that you'll be able to have those 'moments' with the ppl that you care most about over there. I am sure you will! <BR/><BR/>Hehe okay, Bless you OLD HK FRIEEEEND!!! :D Thanks for stopping by Toronto last week! <BR/>baii baii *fobby peace sign*!<BR/>-abbzzzzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-84234720314192341882008-01-28T08:57:00.000-08:002008-01-28T08:57:00.000-08:00what can i say... what a coincidence~ last month, ...what can i say... what a coincidence~ last month, when i was hitting my deadline for a christian mag's column, I had inspiration to tell how I spent my past 23 years from friend-centered, relationship-centered, achievement-centered, self-centered to Christ-centered.<BR/><BR/>^_* may God continue to use you in His ways.Coral Leanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15416528268307383625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-67958384792532444662008-01-28T07:58:00.000-08:002008-01-28T07:58:00.000-08:00JaesonThanks for sharing.

Obviously, this is key to the Kingdom - as He is revealing more intimacy to His body on earth.

Like the ministry burn out (I have also decided to slow down a bit this year :)) to the message of empowering the next generation of leader. So your post basically has confirmed everything God has told me previously. Eureka! :)<BR/><BR/>Awesome! Anyhow, I hope I can discuss with you on how to start mentoring the next generation. God’s been speaking to me about this yet I am still confuse on how to start it since I don’t really have a spiritual mentor myself (other than the Holy Spirit of course). Maybe you can share one or two things about this to me.<BR/><BR/>Well, keep on writing and sharing bro!<BR/>-laugh a lot and be joyful always-<BR/><BR/>Be blessed!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-694191648661275312008-01-27T23:49:00.000-08:002008-01-27T23:49:00.000-08:00Very good post.

I've been learning that He is my inheritance; not destiny, vision, ministry and all the other things we get so zealous about that they end up becoming substitutes for our lack of Him. <BR/><BR/>I'm tired of the substitutes. He is the goal, I really want to partake of Him. Thanks for reminding us all. And thanks for giving us a window into your experience. I pray that others can learn from you and avoid those pitfalls. There aren't too many voices out there warning about these dangers, so I'm glad to hear yours. In fact, success and ministry growth are touted as the goal. It is so refreshing to hear you say otherwise. I respect your candidness and honesty.

God is leading me down almost the exact same path of learning to re-discover intimacy with Him so I can carry it over to my relationships.<BR/>I'm very task oriented, so I tend to fill up my schedule in order to feel like I'm being purposeful. However, this past semester I had almost no time to spend in the Father's presence and got burned out as a result. <BR/>Now my primary mission is to re-discover intimacy with Abba Father and what's in His heart. Recently I stepped down from youth ministry; all I do now is fellowship, worship, and work 4 days a week. Fridays are my "God days", which I devoted almost entirely to simply sitting at Jesus' feet, like Mary of Bethany.<BR/>Praise God for changing our focus to what really matters. I pray we cross paths in the near future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235229.post-80575781504487392872008-01-27T11:48:00.000-08:002008-01-27T11:48:00.000-08:00Be true, be honest,...dear pastor jaeson, I apprec...Be true, be honest,...dear pastor jaeson, I appreciate you very much!<BR/><BR/>Jesus loves you.
