Pastor Jim also talked about Jabez's prayer(1 Chronicles 4:10):
甚 願 你 賜 福 與 我 , 擴 張 我 的 境 界 , 常 與 我 同 在 , 保 佑 我 不 遭 患 難 , 不 受 艱 苦 。
Jabez's birth caused a lot of pain for his mom. Jabez means pain. Pastor Jim said that often we can get stupid nicknams... based on what other expect of us. But we certainly don't have to live based on other people's expectations... or even our low expectations of ourselves. God can certainly help us out if we really want to. Jabez is the guy who really wanted it... and so God paid special attention on him. (God paused and specifically mentioned him in more detail in the middle of the genealogy section!!!)

I also wanted to put something I heard over the radio in the blog, but I kept on forgetting... that's something I heard over the radio from Pastor Greg... about how we can tell if we are well...
1) Are we WORSHIPPERS?
2) Are we EVANGELISTS?
3) Are we LEARNING?
4) Are we LOVING?
Are we WELL? Just ask ourselves these 4 questions. Now that I've learned how to make sushi, guess I have to go learn something else new... ;)
