Qualitues to Look For In A Prospective Husband - Part 2
11) Is he a man I could submit to?
Ephesians 5:25-27

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
(Do take note, this is not slavery but submission. Girls do it willingly and they do it for their husband. Is he mature and spiritually in decision making? Is he able to lead you spiritually? Husband must make wife holy, is all the decision spiritually helping the wife?)

12) Is he a man I could respect? Even fear him?
Ephesians 5:33
However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

1 Peter 3:5-6

For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
(Is he a person that you can respect and gives your confident? Is he a person that you fear in a good sense? Just like you love God but at the same time you fear God. Do you have the same feeling from him?)

13) Is he a good steward of his money? Is he willing to provide for his family?
1 Timothy 5:8

If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
(I don't think I need to talk much about this as I believe all of the readers out there will know what is the consequences if their financial are not well managed.)

14) Is he a good steward of his time?
Ephesians 5:15-16
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
(Is he using his time spiritually? Or is he spending more time on worldly things? Is he good at managing his time? Is he always late? )

15) Does he keep his life pure?
1 Corinthians 6:12-20

Everything is permissible for me"—but not everything is beneficial. "Everything is permissible for me"—but I will not be mastered by anything. "Food for the stomach and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy them both. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us also. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself? Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-8
For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus. It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
(Does he struggle with his own holiness? Though he know that he can never be perfect but does he still strike for perfection? Does he feel guilt? Blush etc when he commited a sin? How he treat his own sin? Struggle with it? Casually living his life?)

16) Does he loves me enough to die for me?
Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her
(Is he willing to die for you? Love is selfless.... Sacrificial love... )

缺席的新郎

Was shock after reading this E-mail. Please read this...

缺席的新郎----大家一定要看看，祝大家永远健康！

我痛恨自己没有在醒来的时候叫醒他，我心疼的让他再睡一下,他就永远得睡过去了。我最欣赏他的认真负责，成了看不见的杀手, 该怨谁？恨谁？怪谁呢？

我们一起在广告公司玩设计，他的创意、我的完稿、我们的搭配是那么完美，以至于公司的上上下下把我们自然而然的送作堆我喜欢的是他的拼劲，和他曾出不穷的点子,而且，他的幽默会在生活中随时随地出现，每每让我惊喜不止, 却万万没有想到，在我们的婚礼上，他也开了一个最残忍的玩笑

我觉得自己非常幸福，得到这样认真负责又乐观进取的好男人。我们的相识也和他的顽皮个性一般，是充满戏剧化的。刚开始熟悉他的同事，因为，他的点子多而把他称作?梅花鹿?。久而久之，又嫌三个字太拗口，就简称他为鹿

我刚进公司的时候很不习惯，因为我姓陆，在校同学都叫我陆。每次有人叫他，我会下意识的应声。每次有人叫我，他也会笑嘻嘻的答应。他说：你就别叫陆小姐，就叫鹿太太好啦！从此，我就多了一个?鹿太?的绰号，以区别我们两人。

尽管，我心中满不愿意，却又觉得挺好玩的。和他深入交往之后，就渐渐觉得当鹿太太应该是一件很快乐的事。他给我的欢笑，会让我却了烦重琐碎的美工，而觉得手中的完稿，每个表现都新鲜盎然起来

四年的交往，我们情投意合，进而同居三年，却一直发不出喜帖来。并不是我们有意长跑，而是他的职务越来越重要，工作也越来越烦重，我们根本腾不出假期来结婚。他升了官，责任在身，每次比稿都要他领队详细说明产品设计，公司的业务蒸蒸日上，他的个人时间就越来越少，我有时还陪他加班，送点吃吃喝喝的为他补身体。

看他一支烟接着一支烟的抽，心疼的感觉他没办法体会，只说再拼一阵子就好。等存够了钱，我们可以开始自己创业就不必那么累了，我们的创业梦进行得很顺利。公司的老板也非常得器重他，累积的人脉、作品的口碑、得奖的荣誉、以及他谈笑风生的可爱个性，在在为他的事业加分。我觉得自己非常幸福，得到这样认真负责又乐观进取的好男人。我欣喜万分，梦想当新娘的画面早在我心头反反复覆几十遍。

我的怀孕，来得不知是不是时候，从忙碌的工作中，发现不适的异样，检查出来已经三个多月时，我非常的懊恼，认为他这样没日没夜的工作，不该在这个时候烦扰他，但是，他非常开心，当场就大声的说：陆太，嫁给我吧！正正式式的当鹿太吧！全办公室响起如雷的掌声，我的泪也欢喜的夺眶而出七年的爱情长跑，终于要跑上红毯彼端，我欣喜万分，梦想当新娘的画早在我心头反反复复几十遍。

我们趁着肚子没有明显凸出时赶快去拍婚纱照。这家老客户跟他很熟，拍了比别人多三倍的底片，穿的礼服、选的地点、做的表情都是鹿自己设计的，他说一辈子只结一次婚，一定要搞笑一点，让人永远难忘。老板很大手笔送我们二十万的礼金，说是给他的创业基金，从此变成了同行，大家要互相帮忙。

他高高兴兴的答应在婚前完成最后一批比稿设计，我先辞去工作，一则孕吐难过，二则婚前有许多事要忙，他都没时间弄，我就只能为他分担我们家里的事，好让他在公司忙得没有后顾之忧。

他几乎是每天加班到早上六点才回家，迷迷糊糊睡到中午又回公司继续上班。连续一个礼拜终于交出了所有的设计稿，也交接所有的业务，离我们的婚礼只剩下不到三十个小时，我劝他什么是都别管，还是先睡一下吧！我们如何相信一个年轻力壮，从无宿疾的顽强生命，一睡成永眠婚礼。倒数计时的最后一天，他一睡就没有醒过来，他睡了十二个小时，清晨我醒来时，悄悄过去吻他，他的鼻息还非常均匀，可爱的长睫毛还闪一两下，好像在梦中还有什么歪点子一样，我觉得幸福塞满胸臆。漫长的做脸、上妆、弄头发过程，其实他可以不必陪我，弄完我去美容院旁的饭店休息室等他来就可以了。没想到我在饭店等了一个小时，手机和家中电话都没人接，他的亲戚一个也不见，后来，我才知道，他们一到家，发现他已经没有呼吸，连忙送到医院，医生判断是时下流行的过劳死，在连续加班后回家睡觉，一睡就成永眠。

要我如何相信一个年轻力壮，从无宿疾的顽强生命，就这样因为体内长期运作失调，而造成器官内讧，衰竭而死？家人商量着该如何告诉怀孕的我，以及所有准备好大闹一场的同事好友们，喜筵成了非正式的告别式，所有参加婚礼的宾客都忍不住落泪。我呆在新娘休息室，抱着他试穿过的西庄礼服不肯放，我痛恨自己没有在醒来时叫醒他，我心疼的让他再睡一下，他就永远得睡过去了。公司的老板内疚万分，他的父母则伤心得连话都不跟我说一句。我肚子里来不及见到亲爹的孩子，更是一阵阵作呕得提醒我，我最欣赏他的认真负责，成了看不见的杀手，我连恨都没法去恨，该怨谁？恨谁？怪谁呢？

(看完只有一个感想,工作虽然重要身体健康更重要)沉重的话题：一个97级的名校高才生，毕业后进微软的，上月死了，只不过25岁的黄金年龄，珍视自己的生命吧，大家。对自己好一点。

早一点睡,这件事是真的,因为一个朋友就在联旭当设计,死掉的人都还是她熟悉的同事。她同事死前每天加班到早上六点才回家,睡到中午又回公司继续上班,连续五天最后一天睡一睡就没醒过来了,死前都很健康无任何心脏方面的疾病。其实这已经是她们公司第三个过劳死的了,希望大家能随时注意自己的身体状况。

对了,今天听到一个悲伤的消息。广告界的好青年,又挂了一人了。此人是联旭的,是业务还是设计我也搞不清楚,来过我们公司几次。前几天在连续加班后的某晚, 回家睡觉后第二天就叫不醒,挂了。奇的是,约二个月前,也是联旭的一位女生业务,也是这样,不过她是离职后第二天,还是第几天,睡一觉就起不来了。医生说是猝死,推测是过劳。

总之,昨天和前天,晚上九点联旭就全部关灯,大家都不加班了。大家要好好保重身体呢。

发生迹象：原本一向身体健康,时常运动(打篮球)但在近日连续熬夜数晚,经过数日后,突然第二天起床会觉得很疲劳！一闭眼就想睡觉！(跟前一日熬夜的感觉不同),而且会腰酸背痛,但一到晚上精神又好起来！

别以为这是小事！根据中医的看法,是因过劳而造成体内器官阴阳失调,就是体内器官起内讧,互相打架,最后造成器官衰竭而死

医生建议：晚上10：00前最好上床休息,中午尽可能睡半小时到一小时的午觉(午睡一小时抵过晚上睡三小时),年轻人一天至少要睡足八小时！

那些经常半夜不睡觉的人！！收到没！收到没！！收到就早点睡啦！还看！

PS.为了大家健康,请转寄给你的朋友~~~谢谢！

晚上9-11点为免疫系统（淋巴）排毒时间，此段时间应安静或听音乐

晚间11-凌晨1点，肝的排毒，需在熟睡中进行。

凌晨1-3点，胆的排毒，亦同。

凌晨3-5点，肺的排毒。此即为何咳嗽的人在这段时间咳得最剧烈，因排毒动作已走到肺；不应用止咳药，以免抑制废积物的排除。

凌晨5-7点，大肠的排毒，应上厕所排便。

凌晨7-9点，小肠大量吸收营养的时段，应吃早餐。疗病者最好早吃，在６点半前，养生者在７点半前，不吃早餐者应改变习惯，即使拖到９、10点吃都比不吃好。

半夜至凌晨４点为脊椎造血时段，必须熟睡，不宜熬夜。

Qualitues to Look For In A Prospective Husband. - Part 1

Wao terrific week.... A lot of ups and downs.... Now... I want to get serious in this post... Because I will be talking about something spiritual that I learnt in Christian Fellowship. I learnt this quite some time ago but due to some circumstances, I think it is necessary to post this out for my readers, friends, etc...

A short introduction.... Who doesn't long for companionship? Who don't wish to have a person to always be there to support you when you are in trials? A person that pour out unconditional love to you? A person that you can blurt out all your problems and at the same time getting some advice? The list go on and on and on... I think without me saying much most of you all will know what I wanted to convey to you... Yes, you got it right... I will be talking about relationship in this post... Well, there is always a saying that said "Ladies first", so I will be talking about "qualities to look for in a prospective husband" first while "qualities to look for in a prospective wife" in another post =)

Guys, I know this might seems that it doesn't concern you but let me tell you that it is equally important to read it! You can actually take this as a measurement to have a self-check on yourself! Do you have all this qualities? Well, I know it is impossible for everyone to obtain each and every qualities that I stated down here but take this as a challenge for you to be a better guy~

*PLEASE TAKE NOTE*

This is just a guidance for everyone.....

Qualitues to Look For In A Prospective Husband.

1) Does he knows Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour?

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
Do Not Be Yoked With Unbelievers Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belia? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

(It is clearly written in the bible that we should not yoke with unbeliever. However, God gave us free will to chose whether or not to follow His command or not. Which will you chose? To rebel agaisnt Him? To follow after Him? Before you say anything, think twice on your action.... Is there a time where God try to hurt you? It is written in the bible that His plan is to prosper us and never to harm us... Now... Make your decision...)

1 John 2:3-6

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, "I know him," but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

(Always be careful.... Specially girls... Knowing girls, we always tend to take guys' word for granted as we "love" them... However, claiming yourself as a Christian doesn't mean you are a Christian! Always remember that! How to know whether is he a true Christian? Look at the following.)

1 Corinthians 2:12-14
We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

(Does he act like a Christian? Is the spirit of God with him?)

Romans 8:12-17

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.

(Is he born again? Or is he still in his sinful nature? Does he follow the pattern of the world?)

Jeremiah 31:33-34
"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the LORD. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."

(The moment that a person is born again, God will be with him. The center of his life will be God and nothing else.)

Ezekiel 36:25-27

I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.

Hebrews 10:14-17

because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." Then he adds: "Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."

2) Does he display the fruit of the Spirit in his life?

Galatians 5:22-23

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

(Love - Did he show God's love? Does he loves himself as who he is? Does he loves people around him, including his enermy? Or he have selected people to love? A Christian should love everyone as themselves. Pouring out God's love to everyone around him. Is he doing that?

Joy - He should feel fulfilled and contented in themselves.

Peace - When problems come, what is his first action? Panic? Rush? Or calm down, stop and pray?

Patient - How he deal with people? Do he see the same value in children as adult?

Kindness - Out of own nature, is he kind?

Goodness - Helping people regardless of status, age, gender etc. If he doesn't like something, will he act cruelly as he doesn't like it?

faithful - Is he faithful or is he a person who go according to the "wind" direction?

gentleness - Is he gentle? Does he knows in which situation he should be soft?

self-control - Is he good at controlling himself? His anger, temptation etc)

3) Does he have a hunger and a thrist for God's word? Does he read it and study it? Is it the foundation and framework of his thinking?

Psalm 19:7-11

The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul. The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the LORD are sure and altogether righteous. 10 They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb. By them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

2Timothy 3:15-17

and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

2 Timothy 2:15

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

John 8:30-32

Even as he spoke, many put their faith in him. To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Titus 2:5

to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

(Is he always lead by feeling or God? Does he make decision based on God's word or own desires?)

4) What are his goals? Are they to glorify God and does he delight in Him? or are they self-focused; for example, on a successful career or financial success?

1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Psalm 37:4-6

Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.

5) Does he realise that the sins of the parents are cisited on children, and the reason, purpose and implications of that?

Exodus 20:5

You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,

Exodus 34:7

maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.

(Does he realise his family weakness and take the effort to change it?)

6) Will he be able to be my spiritual leader?

1 Corintians 11:3

Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

(Good husband will be the one who looks at spiritual things rather than worldly things. If he didn't even knows his own mistakes, will you want to submit to such person?)

7) Will he knows how to apply God's word in my life to sanctify me?

Ephesians 5:25-27

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.

8) Does he love to meet with God's people?

Hebrews 10:24-25

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching

9) Is he faithful? Does he keep his word no matter what it costs? Does he do what he says he will do?

Luke 16:10

Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

10) Does he seek the good of others or does he just look out for his own interests?

Phil 2:3-4

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
(Is he giving you the same treatment as others? If yes, then it is a good thing. It showed that he is consistence in his attitude. Love should be spiritual first then only passion)

Puritans

Been looking back at my blog... I really didn't realise I went through all those stuff... It is good to look back at things sometimes... I have tears in eyes when I look back my past... Many things happened in my life... Ups and downs... But God never leave me... Even a single step... He is always besides me... I really am a spoilt brad... Not knowing the word "appreciation"...

I went through some blogs and I realise that people changed... How come not them? I really don't get it... Why is it so hard to move? Yes, I studied management subject... I know what is the "resistance of change" but all this are not physical things I am looking at but spiritually... Why putting me in such a shoe where I don't know what to do next and how to handle stuff? Strength and knowledge are things I need from God... I really don't know what to do next but to pray... I really wish to have a time off... I just applied for leave for September... I really don't wish to work anymore.. Enough... Enough of spending time in the library instead of spending time with God...

Having some difficulties in my life now but I know all this are under His sovereign control... I still believe that all His plan is to prosper us and never to harm us... I will need to be patient with His plan... I really wish I can go through this "wave"... My classes will be starting soon and I need to register before the 7th of September... Good news? The lecturer haven reply my mail regarding my scholarship and she is currently in Africa. I really don't know what to do with it... I regretted not handing in the letter earlier instead of waiting for my last semester result to come out. I know only one thing... God prepared everything... If He didn't want me to get it, He will surely provide me another way to support my study...

Having a lot in head... I don't know what is in front of me... I just want a life that is according to His will... I want to be one of the "Puritans"!

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

A small child walked daily to and from school. Though the weather one morning was questionable and clouds were forming, this child made the daily trek to the elementary school.

As the day progressed, the winds whipped up, along with thunder and lightning.

The mother was worried that her child would be frightened walking back home from school, and she herself feared the electrical storm might harm her child.

Following the roar of the thunder, lightning would cut through the sky like a flaming sword. Being concerned, the mother got into her car and drove along the route to her child's school. Soon she saw her small child walking along, but at each flash of lightning, the child would stop, look up at the sky and smile.

One followed another, each time with her child stopping, looking at the streak of light and smiling. Finally, the mother called and asked, "What are you doing!

Her child answered, " I'm smiling for God, He keeps taking pictures of me."

"WINDSHIELD WIPER LESSON FROM A CHILD"

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the roads are wet and slick.

Suddenly, my son Matthew spoke up from his relaxed position in the front seat.

"Mom, I'm thinking of something."

This announcement usually meant he had been pondering some fact for a while and was now ready to expound all that his seven-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"The rain," he began, "is like sin and the windshield wipers are like God, wiping our sins away." After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.

"That's really good, Matthew."

Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little boy take this revelation?

So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain keeps on coming? What does that tell you?" Matthew didn't hesitate one moment with his answer:

"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."

I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on. Isn't it comforting to know that God does keep forgiving us? That all we have to do is trust Jesus as our savior and He will keep washing our sins away.

Yes, it is true that God always forgive us when we sin, but never ever take that for granted! Fight your own desires and have a breakthrough in life!

I wish for u...

I found this while I am surfing the internet... Very cute... =) Enjoy..

I wish for you..

Comfort on difficult days,
Smiles when sadness intrudes,
Rainbows to follow the clouds,

Laughter to kiss your lips,
Sunsets to warm you heart,
Gentle hugs when spirits sag,

Friendship to brighten your being,
Beauty for your eyes to see,
Confidence for when you doubt,

Faith so you can believe,
Courage to know yourself,
Patience to accept the truth,
And love to complete your life.

Lord's voice

The Lord's voice?

This will give you the chills........GOOD chills.

A young man had been to Wednesday night Bible Study. The Pastor had shared about listening to God and obeying the Lord's voice. The young man couldn't help but wonder, "Does God still speak to people?" After service he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message. Several different ones talked about how God had led them in different ways.

It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, "God...If you still speak to people speak to me. I will listen. I will do my best to obey." As he drove down the main street of his town, he had the strangest thought to stop and buy a gallon of milk. He shook his head and said out loud, "God is that you?" He didn't get a reply and started on toward home. But again, the thought, buy a gallon of milk. The young man thought about Samuel and how he didn't recognize the voice of God, and how little Samuel ran to Eli. "Okay, God, in case that is you, I will buy the milk." It didn't seem like too hard a test of obedience. He could always use the milk.

He stopped and purchased the gallon of milk and started off toward home. As he passed Seventh Street, he again felt the urge, "Turn Down that street." This is crazy he thought and drove on past the intersection. Again, he felt that he should turn down Seventh Street. At the next intersection, he turned back and headed down Seventh. Half jokingly, he said out loud, "Okay, God, I will". He drove several blocks, when suddenly, he felt like he should stop. He pulled over to the curb and looked around. He was in semi commercial area of town. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst of neighborhoods either. The businesses were closed and most of the houses looked dark like the people were already in bed.

Again, he sensed something, "Go and give the milk to the people in the house across the street." The young man looked at the house. It was dark and it looked like the people were either gone or they were already asleep. He started to open the door and then sat back in the car seat. Lord, this is insane. Those people are asleep and if I wake them up, they are going to be mad and I will look stupid." Again, he felt like he should go and give the milk.

Finally, he opened the door, "Okay God, if this is you, I will go to the door and I will give them the milk. If you want me to look like a crazy person, okay. I want to be obedient. I guess that will count for something but if they don't answer right away, I am out of here." He walked across the street and rang the bell. He could hear some noise inside. A man's voice yelled out, "Who is it? What do you want?"

Then the door opened before the young man could get away. The man was standing there in his jeans and T-shirt. He looked like he just got out of bed. He had a strange look on his face and he didn't seem too happy to have some stranger standing on his doorstep. "What is it?"

The young man thrust out the gallon of milk, "Here, I brought this to you." The man took the milk and rushed down a hallway. Then from down the hall came a woman carrying the milk toward the kitchen. The man was following her holding a baby. The baby was crying. The man had tears streaming down his face.

The man began speaking and half crying, "We were just praying. We had some big bills this month and we ran out of money. We didn't have any milk for our baby. I was just praying and asking God to show me how to get some milk."? His wife in the kitchen yelled out, "I ask him to send an Angel with some. Are you an Angel?"

The young man reached into his wallet and pulled out all the money he had on him and put in the man's hand. He turned and walked back toward his car and the tears were streaming down his face. He knew that God still answer prayers.

THIS IS A SIMPLE TEST....? If you believe that God is alive and well, send this to at least ten people and the person that sent it to you!!!!!!!!

This is so true. Sometimes it's the simplest things that God asks us to do that cause us, if we are obedient to what He's asking, to be able to hear. His voice more clear than ever. Please listen, and obey! It will bless you (and the world). Phil 4:13

This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.
If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed? Pass this on, only if you mean it. Yes, I do Love you Lord.

Story time...

Sally jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room.
She said: "How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?"
The surgeon said, "I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it."
Sally said, "Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?"

The surgeon asked, "Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university."

Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good-bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair.
"Would you like a lock of his hair?" the nurse asked.

Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to
Sally.
The mother said, "It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the university for study. He said it
might help somebody else. "I said no at first, but Jimmy said, 'Mom, I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom." She went on, "My Jimmy ,had a heart of gold. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could."

Sally walked out of Children's mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car. The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house. She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room. She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She laid down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep. It was around midnight when Sally awoke. Laying beside her on the bed was a folded letter.

The letter said:

"Dear Mom, I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say I LOVE YOU. I will always love you, Mom, even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stu ff girls like, you know. Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, wh en I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good-bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter. I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'Where was He when I needed him?' "God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children. Oh, by the way, Mom, no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now. He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper.

Seeking apologies and being thankful

I really want to thank God for everything in my life. Everything is perfectly planned by Him... Facing many trials right now but I want to say thank you to all those people who faithfully keep me in their daily prayer. I really am grateful. I really appreciate all your time and effort being spent... Thank you... I was touched when I got to know many kept me in their daily prayer...

At the same time, I wanted to seek for forgiveness from those whom I have hurt them. Regardless of actions, words, mentally, spiritually nor physically. Sorry as I didn't learn it well to hold my tongue. Sorry as I didn't learn well to hold my actions. Sorry for not using my piggy brain before I do stuff nor speak. If I ever hurt you in anyway, I would like to apologies, young and old, I will want to sincerely seek for your forgivenss. Especially to my family, a uncle from the library team, KM, and "banana".

I really thank God for my life and thank God for all this people that He allowed me to meet with...
