I just couldn't sleep last nite, so i looked at the stars.. wondering.. why are there some stars that are so bright and shinning, whereas, most of them simply wasn't so obvious.. and it seems fading?
I prayed .. Oh Father, how can I be the bright shinning star that will continue to shine for You, even during the darkest hour..
You are the One who set all the stars in their place. For that very moment, I found myself singing.. "You are.. Magnificent, Eternity, Wonderful, Glorious.. Jesus ... No one ever will compare to You... Jesus"
Need You, Lord .. for You are my hope and my salvation.. =)
There is a MIRACLE, when you believe, and truly God can turn all situations around, am actually awake now, @ 5am. Usually, I will be sleeping like a log at this hour. However, am not, guess am just too shocked with the miracle work God has done in George's life. Thanks George. Praise God for you! May God continues to use you for His glory.. =)
Our God is an AWESOME God. He reigns. If He can parted the red sea, if He can raised up the dead, what are the things He cannot do. Do not underestimated God's power. He is Mighty, nothing is too big for Him to handle. With God, ALL things are possible. =)
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He will make your paths straight." ~ Proverbs 3:5-6
When you believe - The Prince of Egypt
Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains Long before we knew we could
*** There can be miracles When you believe Though hope is frail It's hard to kill Who knows what miracles You can achieve When you believe Somehow you will You will when you believe
In this time of fear When prayer so often proves in vain Hope seemed like the summer birds Too swiftly flown away Yet now I'm standing here My heart's so full, I can't explain Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say
*** They don't always happen when you ask And it's easy to give in to your fears But when you're blinded by your pain Can't see your way clear through the rain A small, but still, resilient voice Says help is very near
Hi lovely people, just wanna share this song i love very much ~ "who am i"
God speaks to me very clearly in this song, and touches my heart. (i cried) .. and yes, knowing that why would God bother to love me so much, why does He even wanna care about me. Simply the reason is because He loves me.
When we are facing our challenges in our lives, just remember Jesus will calm the storm in us. He will help us to overcome them..
"Not because of who i am, but because of You've done,
Not because of what i've done, but because of who You are."
eNjoY !! Be blessed sisters and brothers in our Lord Jesus. Love ya! ^_^
Wake up early - with no plans ahead, went online, signed in MSN, and saw agnes, so i changed my status to "online" so that she will not get irritated by me being "invisible" .. she asked, "what's the plan for today?"
Without even thinking, i just replied - "maybe to get my hair trim, as it's getting messy and of cuz irritating!! "
With that, i have "something" to do for today.. yeah!

There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven -- A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance. A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing. A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.
and verse 14, I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.
I have been spending time on Bible MP3 for the past few days, and yes, is really good, following the audio and reading the Bible at the same time.
Currently, am reading both version concurrently, i.e the NIV (New International Version), and NKJV (New King James Version).
I actually prefer NIV compared to NKJV.. (dunno why) but not now.. not anymore! as I found out they missed out important Word of God.. :(
how could they do that?
I just would like to point out what I have found out... (so far only two la .. haha.. is enough to break the trust!)
1) NIV - missing of the whole verse Matthew 17:21
which in NKJV; ~ "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
2) NIV - Mark 9:29 ~ "He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."
which in NKJV; ~ "So He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting."
After I learnt about the "mistake" .. perhaps is typo error, or what you name it, am losing confidence in NIV. Am wondering if there's some more?
I remember one of the Pastors mentioned that NIV is the worst version, and now I know why... He recommended NASB (New American Standard Bible). I think I'm getting one of that.. Soon. Very soon.
The University professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"
A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.
"The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460? F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."
The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.
To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least is does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."
The professor sat down.
The young man's name -- Albert Einstein

Am what I am, but, wanted to be what God wants me to be. Am a sinner, saved by grace. Am learning to walk my way right, with the Lord everyday. I want to be a good testimony for Christ Jesus. It may not be easy... but I am willing to do it ..
