When Man Plans God laughs. A week ago I made the sad decission not to go to a very close friends wedding. I was sad for two reasons, one that I am not going but more dissapointing was that I was giving up on God.
But God has shown me otherwise. He has shown me that when I plan God Laughs. I don't know about most people but I like to plan things. My mom is a very impulsive person, which is one of the few things we don't ever see eye to eye on. So I plan trips, my day and so on. It gives me a sense of order.
But I do have room for God for He constanly keep me on my toes. I want to share the blessings.
Before I left for the Philippines I've been praying the Lord gives me a digital camera. Well for my going away shindig I was blessed with enough money to purchase my new camera. The following Monday my friend Jack showed me an ad for a camera for a fraction of the cost. So I contacted the store and even though they clearly posted on the ad no reservation or holds I was able to convince the manager to hold it for me. I promised to be there by Wednesday but I missed my appointment. My mom then told me she was going in that area on thursday. I called the shop and sure enough the manager decided to still hold I for me. By the time I got there the manager not only sold me the camera bu gave me a flyer and extra battery, and sold me a memory card and bag at a discount. But wait there's more. Two days later I noticed a pixel was out. I bring it back to the shop and they promised to replace with another refurbished camera. But they didn't have another reurbished camera so they had no choice but to give me a brand new one.
Now during the Philippines I had a series of ups and downs and during one of the lowest points. I wanted to go to Cebu for the upcoming world tournament. But I couldn't afford the rooms so my teachers and his family offered to pay for my room.
Then when I got back from Cebu my niece was getting married so now I can go back to the US which is what j needed.
And now I wanted to go to Hawaii for a friends wedding and I couldn't afford it. But I knew better now. For I know God was going to come through. But just at the moment when I gave up the Lord said I have not. So a friend was going tonpay for my ticket and lodging.
So my brothers and sisters in Christ the Lord provides all and wishes you to be happy. Just surrender it to God. And always remember by putting Him first He will Never put you second.

CHRISTIAN ACTORS AUDITION
Drama Team
Our talents are God's gift to us, what we do with that gifts is our gift to God.
I see so many of my brothers and sisters and Christ with the gift of music having a venue to show off God's handywork. Churches and coffee houses all across th country open their doors and let Christian musicians perform.
But what about people who have been given the gifts of Acting?
So now I'm starting an acting crew whose sole purpose is to worship God through the gift of drama and comedy. Is there money in it? Probably not, but we don't store treasure here on Earth but up in heaven.
If interested please call me at (951)310-2090 or email me at fbserr@gmail.com

Agent of Hate!!!
I know that many a times this blog has been used as a forum of anger and hate. But truly I tell you my brothers and sisters is that I am not an agent of hate but a loyal servant of God. And God is all about love, and in I Corinthians 13 love is defined as not being able to "delight in evil but rejoices in TRUTH." (13:6). But equally important is that "Love always hopes"(13:7) Hope is a charatristic of a better tomorrow.
My brothers and sisters in Christ I ask for your forgiveness for the anger I held in my heart. Being in anger has placed me in sorrow and denied me of rejoicing in truth. But more importantly I ask our God to grant us the serenity that can only come from His everlasting love.
As I wait and hope that whatever that is in your heart against me may be forgiven and forgotten and rejoice together in Jesus Christ.

People who read this
I am not one of these people that writes these online blogs and gets surprised that people read my ONLINE journal.
So for those people who read these blogs and see it as it truly is a venting of my feelings, thank you. But for those who think that I put these things online but think it's because I don't have the "cajones" to say it to their face. Well most of you know that if I won't say it to your face I won't say it online. So for those who try to use my blog as a tool against me. Well your dumber than I thought for how I feel about any issues or any individual or group is not only my constitutional right but know that I do not cower from my oppinion.
If your offended than you could be one of those idiots.

You to Brutus???
In Dante's Inferno there are levels of hell. The deeper the level the more brutal and excruciating the punishment. And remember this is eternity. On the deepest level there is thus three headed dragon. It's mouth is the worse that hell has to offer reserved those who has commited the worse of sins. Two of the two heads are empty one for the Anti-Christ and one for the Devil himself. But one mouth is occupied already and it's Judas Iscariot. Betrayal is the worse kind of sin.
I know there are times that i would have a different point of view than others and you know what that's okay. As long as we handle ourselves in a respectable manner.
But what some people have done to My teacher is beyond me as well as to the point of loosing respect towards these people. And not even give him the most basic rights of being able to defend one self. So for those who are brutus you only have one opportunity to hurt us but we have an eternity of justice. Hope it was worth it.

The Journey WAS ending.
So now I'm back home. It's 2:58 am on a Friday and I now can't sleep. Why is it when I'm driving down the highway I seem to be sleepy but when I'm at home I can't. Oh well it's just as well I need to relax before hitting the pillow anyway.
But let me share the adventure home
Since I missed my appointment with Eric my newest customer (that was referred to me by another customer) last Tuesday due to severe traffic I knew that to maximize having the car I should take care of this install right away. So instaed of taking the 101 S to the 42 highway we decided to stay on the 101 and go straight to my customer. With a quick detour to Oxnard to buy some fresh vegetables. Now one of the things I love about my iPhone is the google maps. Yeah not as great as actual GPS but I don't want to pay $10 a month extra. While waiting the route it wanted to take me on was traffic so I decided to take the back routes instead. And it was gorgeous as well as no one in sight so I was cruising at 60 mph then finally stopped at Eric's work.
Now the install couldn't have been easier I just plugged the PAP2 box and we had in and out calls. At the same time they had another referral to me about 5 minutes away. And sold a 2nd box.
Just when I thought this weekend was a waste, I was ready to write this up as a planting the seed week but instead got two installs in a 30 minute span. But it's because I planted the seed and followed up with my customer.
God is truly amazing and yes this week's install still doesn't cover the expenses but the experience was worth it. I also found another way of marketing this product. But first I need to slee...

My First Long Distance Sales Call
I know my Mom really believes in me. But this week she took it to a whole new level. Ive always known that out of her kids including grandkids that I was the one that thinks a lot like her. And what amazes me is that even though I do think a lot like her there is still alot I don't know.
This week my mother and I went to Salinas California which is about according to google maps is about 6 hours north of Perris. Well with all the traffic it really became an 8 hours drive.
Then we stayed overnight at Tita Charito's house and the next day we were on the road again to San Francisco which was about another 2 hours north to meet Christine Zhao. Only to rush back to Salinas and meet some of the Tumauinians. And all with only one strong possible sale of a product but none of the business package. About a $35 + risidual of $0.03 a month. The gas alone doesn't cover our expenses.
So I thought my Mom would be dissapointed. My sales info was spot on as well as my data. But somehow I have trouble closing. Something is preventing me to close. But my Mom said, "We're just planting seeds. It will take time and so be patient.".
And of course only time will tell if she's right or not. But I do thank God that my Mom is willing to invest not only in my business but more importantly in me.
