Fear? Darkness? NO! light is coming

Where am I? Who am I?

Questions and query... In my head spinning none stop.. I know it well that someone is holding my future.. I am starting to take things for granted due to this.. Is it that important to know who am I? That's my answer to my "head"... I choose to let go of myself.. I don't wish to know myself.. Knowing myself hurt more than I can imagine..

Pressure, pressure and pressure all around me.. I started to ponder on the pressure around me.. Is it necessary for me to take it that seriously? I know I can never work well in an environment full of pressure yet I need to put myself in that environment in order to survive.. Am I taking other's words too seriously instead of God's?

Where is the "child" inside of me? Seeking.. Searching.. Looking.. Eagerly I am finding.. yet.. I fail to find it..

The jovial, merry and bubbly me no more exist.. Somehow, I forget how to smile.. The word "smile" does it exist? Yes, it does.. but not in my world I presume? Darkness all around.. I choose to be in that world.. Wanting to overcome it, stand up and bring in brightness to the dark dark world seems to be a failure.. Due to depending on my own flesh..

God suddenly put in a song in my heart.. Know what?

Centre Of My Life

Jonas Myrin, Natasha Bedingfield

Let my walk speak loud
And my words be true
Let my life be whole and my eyes on You
Lord I'm stepping out, from the comfort zone
Letting go of me, holding on to You

Freedom comes, when I call You Lord
You are Lord, my God

You are the Centre of it all
The universe declares in awe
Your Majesty, I surrender all

I make You the Centre of my life
Lord I respond with all I am
You placed in me the song
Of Heaven's melody
Your Majesty, I live to sing Your song

Verse 2:
I have found Your peace,
it replaces any fear
You have done it all, I can trust in You
Lord I'm stepping out, from the comfort zone
Letting go of me, holding on to You

Bridge:
This is Your song, not mine
It is Your song, that brings healing to this land
This is Your song, not mine
It is Your song, that brings freedom
..

I know.. I know deep in my heart what does this song means.. The words.. Very familiar.. It is what God said previously.. I am hurting Him badly yet I am not doing something? Am I taking action? Hahaha.. I doubt till the max I am doing something to solve it..

Somehow, God present is very very real in me.. I am not imaging stuff or I am lying to myself.. but I can just feel him... So close, so near.. When I pray, I know He's listening..

A sister once asked me how come I always speak in tongue when I am driving. I said don't know. She said is it because you are not confident in your driving and she started laughing... [For your information, yes I do SIT while driving, regardless I'm alone nor fetching my friends. However, when I'm fetching non-christian friends I tend to pray in heart]

Deep in my heart, I actually want to say, I pray because I want to talk to God, no matter what I am doing, I don't wish to let go even a single second to speak to Him.. Know why? because I lost Him before.. Never wish to have that feeling ever in my life again.. I rather you take my life away! I rather suffer! but not taking His present from my life..

I am no one in this world.. Living in a world of lies and pressure.. Keep in mind one thing my dear.. THIS IS MY TEMPORARY HOME NOT PERMENANT! You want to attack me? COME! I am not scare to come face to face with you! I have nothing to fear but God! You want to condemn me? In your dream! You can never do that because God is there to protect and taking care of me! HAVE FAITH 633!

Kiss Goodbye
王力宏

baby不要再哭泣
　　这一幕多么熟悉
　　紧握着你的手彼此都舍不得分离
　　每一次想开口但不如保持安静
　　给我一分钟专心
　　好好欣赏你的美
　　幸福搭配悲伤
　　痛是在我心交叉
　　挫折的眼泪不能测试爱的重量
　　付出的爱收不回
　　还欠你的我不能给
　　别把我心也带走
　　去跟随

　　每一次和你分开
　　深深的被你打败
　　每一次放弃你的温柔
　　痛苦难以释怀
　　每一次kiss you goodbye
　　爱情的滋味此刻我终于最明白
　　
　　但欠你的我不能给
　　我才明白爱最真实的滋味
　　我终于明白

When I am weak n weary

When I am weak, You are my strength.
When I am weak, You are by my side supporting me.
When I am weak, You tell me that You will never leave me.
When I am weak, You tell me that You will never forsake me.
When I am weak, Your love strengthen me.
When I am weak, Your words sustain me.
When I am weak, You lifted me up once again..
When I am weak, Your love is sufficient for me...

Lord, You are my strenght..
Because You first love, that's why I can love others.
Help me Lord to focus my sight on You and not the "wind".
Lord, I am weak but this is the time when
I am the strongest as You are here with me
and to be my strength..
Thank you, Lord...
I love You!

Th3 TEsT....

John Blanchard stood up ffrom the bench, straightened his army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.

John's interest in her had begun 13 months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with its words, but with the notes pencilled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell.

With time and effort he located her address. She lived in NY City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World Was II.

During the next year and one month, the 2 grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding.

John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7pm at Grand Central Station in NY.

"You'll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel."

So at the apppointed time, he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let John tell you what happened:

"A young women was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like spring time come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose.

"As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips, 'Going my way, sailor?' she murmured. Almost uncontrollably, I made one step closer to her and then I saw Hollis Maynell.

"She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A women well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thickankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the women whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.

"And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it will be something precious, comething perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful.

I squarred my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the women, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment.

"I am Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?"

The women's face broadened into a tolerant smile.

"I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "But the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"

"It is not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive."

Many times we often look at the looks of others and fell in love with them... ended up with sorrow and sadness as at the end of the relationship, we realise we had made the wrong choice... Are you one of them? One thing I don't like people to say to me, "I Love you" before he even got to know me in-dept..Looks are deceiving, that's what I always remind myself..

I really hope I will meet a guy like John.. A person who go for heart rather than looks... Yes, he might be disappointed at first but at last he choose to pick the women whose heart he know, didn't he? Romantic.. =)

Lend me your hope

Lend me your hope for awhile,

I seem to have mislaid mine.

Lost and hopeless feelings accompany me daily,

pain and confusion are my companions.

I know not where to turn;

Looking ahead to future times does not bring forth

images of renewed hope.

I see troubled times, pain-filled days, and mare tragedy.

Lend me your hope for awhile,

I seem to have mislaid mine.

Hold my hand and hug me;

listen to all my ramblings, recovery seems so far distant.

The road to healing seems like a long lonely one.

Lend me your hope for awhile,

I seems to have mislaid mine.

Stand by me, offer me your presence, your heart and

your love.

Acknowledge my pain, it is so real and ever present.

I am overwhelmed with sad and conflicting thoughts.

Lend me your hope for awhile;

a time will come when I will heal,

and I will share my renewal,

hope and love with others.

A very meaningful peom to me.. The author is unknown though... Taken from Victory over the darkness, by Neil T.Anderson. I think the author faced the same situation with me? Having pain and confusion as companions... Somehow, something in this book catch my attention..

"Do these words reflect your experience and echo your plea as a believer? Do you sometimes feel hemmed in by the world, the flesh and the devil to the point that you wonder if your Christianity is worth anything? Do you sometimes fear you will never be all God called you to be? Do you long to get on with your Christian maturity and experience the freedom God's Word promises?

Well, I won't tell you which sentence catch my attention that made me stop for awhile and ponder on the question being posted to me. I just can't stop myself from thinking.. My brain.. reflected tones of events in life, as though I am leaving this world soon.. (since young, I heard that when a person is dying, he/she brain will play back his/her life...) All those event were so real in my head as if it is happening in front of me!

Ponder on my life, my attitude, my thinking, my actions, my attire, my everything! After a person encounters God, she will be changed. Am I? I doubt... I am more like a person that hurt Him till the max rather than putting a smile on His face... Heart is willing, body is weak.. My heart is not connecting with my body... Hopeless 33.. Very hopeless..

L!f3 is like a boat? =/

Life Is like a Boat

Bleach ED Theme

Performed by Rie Fu
Kana/Kanji version

Nobody knows who I really am

I never felt this empty before

And if I ever need someone to come along

Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong
We are all rowing the boat of fate

The waves keep on comin' and we can't escape

But if we ever get lost on our way

The waves would guide you thru another day

遠くで息をしてる　透明になったみたい

暗闇に思えたけど　目隠しされてただけ
祈りをささげて　新しい日を待つ

鮮やかに　光る海　その果てまで

Nobody knows who I really am

Maybe they just don't give a damn

But if I ever need someone to come along

I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

人の心はうつりゆく　抜け出したくなる

つきはまた新しい周期で　舟を連れてく

And every time I see your face,

The oceans heave up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars,

And soon I can see the shore
Oh, I can see the shore

When will I.... can see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am

I never thought I'd feel this way towards you

And if you ever need someone to come along

I will follow you, and keep you strong

旅はまだ続いてく　穏やかな日も

つきはまた新しい周期で　舟を照らし出す
祈りをささげて　新しい日を待つ

鮮やかに　光る海　その果てまで

And every time I see your face,

The oceans heave up to my heart

You make me wanna strain at the oars,

And soon I can see the shore

運命の船を漕ぎ

波は次から次へと

私たちを襲うけど

それも素敵な旅ね

どれも素敵な旅ね

Isn't it Strange? Consider this..

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT

Isn't it strange how a 20 dollar bill
seems like such a large
amount when you donate it to church,
but such a small amount when you go shopping?

Isn't it strange how 2 hours seem so long when
you're at church, and how
short they seem when you're watching a good movie?

Isn't it strange that you can't
find a word to say whenyou're praying,
but you have no trouble thinking
what to talk about with a friend?

Isn't it strange how difficult
and boring it is to read one chapter of the Bible,
but how easyit is to read 100 pages of
a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants

front-row-tickets to concerts or games,

but they do whatever is possible

to sit at the last row in Church?

Isn't it strange how we need to know

about an event for Church 2-3weeks before the day

so we can include it in our agenda,

but we can adjust it for other events inthe last minute?

Isn't it strange how difficult itis to learn a fact

about God to share it with others,

but how easy it is to

learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?

Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven,

but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails

and they are forwarded right away,

but when we are going to send messages about God,

we think about it twice before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Now that you've read this message,

forward it to anybody that you consider a friend, family member or foe(enemy).

If you don't do it not only you will deprive yourself from being blessed,

but you will also do that to others who may need God in their life.

A prayer..

Heavenly Father, I pray that you will just forgive my sins and cleanse me once agian with your blood. I pray that Lord you will just take away the fear in me and rain down on me the peace from above.

I pray that Lord whatever I have studied will remain in me. I pray that Lord I am able to answer all the question in the test later with the knowledge that I have. I pray that I have sufficient time to write down all the answer. I pray that I'm able to glorify Your mighty name with my result.

Thank you Lord for not leaving me alone.. Thank you Lord for the blessing on me.. I uphold my exam into Your mighty hand, may you Lord take care of the exam...

All this I pray in Jesus name, Amen!

STUPID....

Yawn... Super SLEEPY!!! God, help me! Law.. seriously kills me.. I am in the midst of blur blur situation... What is agent? What is independent contractor? haha.. An independent constractor is a person who contract with another do something for him who is not controlled by other nor subject to other's right to control with the respect to his physical conduct in the performance of the undertaking. How come the definition need to be that long? Issh...

Java test is down the drain.... It looks impossible for me to get an A.. In fact, I doubt I can even get a B+! T.T

How come when I want to prepare for my exam the time passes by so fast and the same thing happened when I am sitting for an exam.. I have insufficient time to write! How come....

Pray, pray and pray for me! Need tones of prayers.. Need knowledge and wisdom to score in this semester final exam... Today is MY LAST PAPER! PRAY! hopefully I can do well by God's grace.. Amen...

commitment... A hard lesson to learn...

Commitment means
we take the worst of each other
the best of each other
and the in-between of each other.
Stirring it all together
we say with loyalty
and gental understanding
"I love and totally accept the mixture of you"


(1 Peter 3:8-9)
To sum up, let all be harmonious , sympathetic,
botherly, kindheartedly,
and humble in spirit;
not returning evil with evil,
or insult for insult,
but giving a blessing

Giving is better than receiving

Do not be one who stretches out his hands to receive but closes them when it comes to giving.

-The Didache

Grant Us True Peace....

O God! O our Master!

You are eternal life and everlasting peace by Your essence and attributes.

The everlasting peace is from You and it returns to You.

O our Sustainer!

Grant us the life of true peace and usher us into the abode of peace.

O Glorious and Bounteous One!

You are blessed and sublime.

Got this prayer from a website... Well I think this prayer is very suitable for me as I seriously need peace of God in me... Hopefully all of you are blessed too~

Scary...

Yesterday.... Is the day... I fear the most.. I seriously underestimated what God can really do! For some reason, I don't what happened as well, I told God to strike me with lighting... I am seriously out of my mind! I was not "me"!

It was raining heavily yesterday... Around 4pm... I was waiting for Ewilly to come over my house to fetch me.. I was making myself something to drink and suddenly this words came out from my mouth.. I said "God, it is raining now... How nice..." (For your information, I like the rain a lot) suddenly I said "I am very sinful..." In conjuction, I felt very very guilty.. Only God and I know what happened... Until the extend, I felt like I am not worthy to praise Him at all.. Not worthy to even talk to Him... Not worthy to even call out His name... Not even worthy to look up and say "I love You"... I keep on apologies.. Yes, I will never deny that I am sinful.. I will never... because I know... know that I am sinful in nature.. When I said this, in my heart I said to myself "God loves me very much, He will never do such thing even though I asked for it... Later I just repend then can already...

Note here... See how contradicting I am that time? I was totally blur! I struggled... Which to listen? For a moment, I lost myself... I tend to take things for granted...

Now.. what happened next shock me! I said "God, tell me where should I stand in order for you to punish me... Tell me the place that I should stand in order for the lighting to strike me..."

I seriously have no idea what got into me... Seriously don't know! I was at my living room that time, suddenly I went to the TV switch and on it. While I am walking to the couch, suddenly there is a explotion... Something like lighting strike on the TV. I... Totally stone... Looking at the TV... Nothing happened... I went to the switch, nothing at all.. No smoke, no burn, NOTHING.. My body was not with me for a while... I just stood there... I switch off the TV.. Scary!

I sat down and pray.. Then something came into my head.. What am I doing? What did I said just now? How come I said something like that? No matter how sinful I am, God will forgive and change me, IF I REPEND sincerely! I know that by faith, I am saved... How come suddenly I tend to take things for granted? All that I have, belongs to Him, never mine... but how come I came out with all this? I, myself was blur.. super blur.. Stress all around me.. I am like flying with the wind.. Scary!

However, I thank God for speaking to me through the sermon... I knew what went wrong in my life.. Now... I need to seriously need to... come back to Him... A breakthough will be happening in my life.. That is all I know... and that is what I believe...

A reminder to myself.....
=Phil=
Always remember this...

-Signing off-

Choices... In Life...

John is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say.

When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, John was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?"

He replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or ... you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood."

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or...I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or... I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested.

"Yes, it is," he said.

"Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood.

The bottom line: It's your choice how you live your life." I reflected on what he said.

Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that he was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, he was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back.

I saw him about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins...Wanna see my scars?"

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter," he replied.

"Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or...I could choose to die. I chose to live."

"Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked.

He continued, "..the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read 'he's a dead man'. I knew I needed to take action."

"What did you do?" I asked.

"Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me," said John.

"She asked if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes, I replied.'

The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, 'Gravity'." Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."

He lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude... I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything .

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34.

After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

A Dream? A Reality? A Vision? A lesson...

Have you ever experience a day when you wake up from your beautiful sleep and suddenly God is speaking to you? The moment you open your eyes and you said "Good morning, Daddy" and He started to speaks... well of cause He will make sure you open your "ears" and listen to Him...

This is what happened to me... I was amaze yet disappointed... Amaze on how God speaks to me but disappointed with myself after hearing what God wants to said to me. God kept on urging me to read a book in the bible.. I have no idea what is the book about before I read it... The spirit was telling me that I need to open the bible and read that book immediately.. It is quite serious...

Ah... Good rebuke... I know what is in me.. RUBBISH!!!! I tried to hide from God although I know it is useless... I was scare.. I was crying and praying... God actually pointed it out... I was avoiding all this while.. Having breakthrough in life but I fall once again... Humans.. Disappoint you anytime and anywhere doesn't it? Including self..

A person who is under stress seriously does tones of silly stuff... My brain is never associate with my heart for the past few weeks.. It is true that "what I need to do, I don't do but what I am not suppose to do, I do..."

I am always weak.. That is why I need You more, Lord.

I am always in troubles... That is why I yearn even more for You, Lord.

I am always in hopeless situation yet because of You I have hope in everything.

I always have uncertainty in my head yet You assure me that all Your plans is to prosper me and never to hurt me.

Lord, come into my life as I commit it into Your hand.

Lord, come into my troubles as I uphold them into Your hand.

Lord, come and be the center of my heart and guide me!

Help me out of all this mess..

Help me to let go of myself

and hold on to You...

I just want to say "thank you" to you, Lord.

All You have done in my life..

Good or bad...

I just want to give thanks....

I love You, Father....

Love at First Sight....

Love at First Sight
by Wislawa Szymborska (translated by Walter Whipple)

Both are convinced
that a sudden surge of emotion bound them together.
Beautiful is such a certainty,
but uncertainty is more beautiful.Because they didn’t know each other earlier,
they suppose that
nothing was happening between them.
What of the streets, stairways and corridors
where they could have passed each other long ago?I’d like to ask them
whether they remember–perhaps in a revolving door
ever being face to face?
an “excuse me” in a crowdor a voice “wrong number” in the receiver.
But I know their answer:
no, they don’t remember.They’d be greatly astonished
to learn that for a long time
chance had been playing with them.Not yet wholly ready
to transform into fate for them
it approached them,
then backed off,
stood in their way
and, suppressing a giggle,
jumped to the side.There were signs, signals:
but what of it if they were illegible.
Perhaps three years ago,or last Tuesday
did a certain leaflet fly
from shoulder to shoulder?There was something lost and picked up.
Who knows but what it was a ball
in the bushes of childhood.There were doorknobs and bells
on which earlier touch piled on touch.
Bags beside each other in the luggage room.
Perhaps they had the same dream on a certain night,
suddenly erased after waking.Every beginning
is but a continuation,
and the book of events
is never more than half open.

Fortuneteller
by Li Zhiyi (Movie Translation)

I live at the head of the Yangtze River,
you live at its mouth
I think of you constantly but never see you
Though we drink the same Yangtze water
When will this river rest?
When will my pain end?
If your feelings are just the same as mine,
We’ll never stop longing for each other.

Wh@t a day...

How to describe my day? Good? Bad? Hmm... Non of the "above" will be my answer... Lost is a more appropriate word to describe my day...

I was actually planning to study yet I fail to do so.. My final is just around the corner and my head is filled with "rubbish"... With what I have now, I can guarantee I will definitely get myself into deep troubles.... Why? Simple... I need to foot my own education and worse comes to worst, you might see me working in one of the shopping mall while everybody is studying....

I have no idea what on earth happened to me.. Not even a clue why all those things came back and haunt me. The thing that I am more concerned is why on earth am I so worried? I prayed but I consider that as a prayer without conviction and faith. In the prayer, I said I want to invite God in my troubles and I commited everything that is borthering me into His mighty hand but what happened? I fail to commit completely. I take back the troubles that I put in God's hand and getting even more worry about it.

Stupidity is the only word I can used to describe.... I felt I am like the Israelite, experienced so many God's grace and love yet I still doubt... Ordering someone to spy on the promise land and making sure that what God gives is seriously good. Why do so? Don't you know that God only gives us the best? All His plan is to prosper us not to harm us!

Just now when I was checking my mail, somehow, God touches my heart through a mail. It wrote there "God loves you and watches over you every day". It is short yes but just like that... This few words... Is more than enough for me... I am filled spiritually...

Besides that, out of the blue, my Window Media Player is playing the song "Still"... I have around 100+ songs in the list and normally this song won't be played as I shuffled the songs. This is a very meaningful song to me... This is the song that I like when I am converted... It is consider as a song that bring me to Christ. The lyrics of the song once again remind me of the joy of salvation.... I should always be happy as God has given me a "black box with a hole" not a "Black box"...

Thank you Daddy... Thank you for reminding me that You are always there for me... Thank you for reminding me the joy of salvation... Thank you for not letting me go even though I am a rebellious girl... Thank you for taking care of my troubles... and most importantly... Thank you for reminding me not to worry on what happened in my life but to seek You first... As You said You will always take care of me.... Thank you Lord...

God's boxes

I got this from a friend... It touches my heart... Hmm.. I don't wish to share the reason though... However, this is very meaningful and I hope that you will treasure your friends even more after reading this.

God's Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes, Which God gave me to hold.

He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box, And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes, Both my joys and sorrows I stored, But though the gold became heavier each day, The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black, I wanted to find out why, And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole, Which my sorrows had fallen out by. I showed the hole to God, and mused,

"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"

He smiled a gentle smile and said,

"My child, they're all here with me.."

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes, Why the gold and the black with the hole?

"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings, The black is for you to let go."

We should consider all of our friends a blessing. Send this to a friend today just to let them know you are thinking of them and that they are a joy in your life. A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends. But the treasure inside for you to see, Is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.

S-o-R-r-Y

Laying down your arms,

surrendering,

saying you are sorry,

realizing that you have been on the wrong track

and getting ready to start life over again from the ground floor

- that is the only way out of a hole.

-C.S. Lewis

Watch out...

Watch your thoughts; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions, they become habits.

Watch your habits, they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

- Frank Outlaw
