Say No To Rape
Every human being on this earth deserves to be respected and loved.
Sign this petition to fight against men raping their wives. Men thinks that that it is okay to rape their wives just because they are legally bound together by a marriage cert. What does that marriage certificate really means? In this present society, I would say it doesnot mean alot isnot it. More and more couples are living together viewing that marriage is not that all important; and they go on separate ways when things dont work out. If marriage isnot view as much importance as before, why do some men use the marriage cert as a device against their wives?
Remember your daughter, friend, neigbor, classmates, collegue may be the next victim.

Turn your eyes to Jesus
The phrase "turn your eyes to Jesus" is commonly heard by many christians. How many of you would agree that it is easy for us to physcially turn our eyes to Jesus; screaming to God: "where are you Lord? Have you dissappeared on me?" but yet our stubborn hearts choose to stay put. "Turning your eyes to Jesus" is a complete surrender, and an act of submission to God. PRIDE is a nasty word because it gets into our way most of the time. We want to do our ways (arms cross) with our snobbish attitude; because we cant lower our pride to embrace the Godly way. So often, pride leads to self-effort. Pride is self-indulgence; and one is basically glorifying the flesh and "I". And, remember God gives us freedom of choice; if we choose to remain in our ways He will allow us to do so. But because every christian has the holy spirit in them to guide them, our nasty ways wont remain for too long because "the emergency button" will go off. How does that works? We starts to get furstrated easily, feel unrest, or even signs of worrying...
I was reading Pastor Benjamin's Blog; and it definitely inspires me alot. I still remember my prayer to the Lord is to allow God to use me mightly and challenge me in many ways... duh! Thats why i am here. But when problems arises, I start to get upset, furstrated, lost and even depressed. Humans are such big contradictors huh!!!
And not forgetting my complaints... WHY GOD???? WHY DID YOU LET THIS HAPPEN???!!! Answer: "God did not put those trials, but God allowed it, because of the call in our lives you know? God is preparing you for greater things" [Pastor Benjamin's Blog]. It is like the divine key from heaven that unlocks the million doubts that I had few days again. Praise the Lord. :) Thankyou Pastor! Appreciated. Though I dont know what great plans God has for me, but I choose to have have a good opinion of God. Jesus is good and He wants to bless you. You dont see the rainbow until the thunderstorm is over. :) SMILE!!!!!!!!!!

Thankfulness
the hardest thing in life is to be real to yourself.
how many times have you looked into the mirror and say "boy, I wish things were different?"
many of us tend to regret many many and I mean many things they did in life but how many of us actually have a thankful attitude towards life?
In tough times it can be so hard to be thankful, but I still choose to thank you Daddy God:
Thanking Jesus for each day thaat I can see His wonderful creation
Thanking Jesus for your provision
Thanking Jesus for your promises that you will bless and prosper me.
I hope you understand
I hope you know me
I hope you bother to care about me
I hope you are well...
Yes, Thankyou Daddy God for blessing me with a pair of FAME ticket... As a result, I get the chance to be a blessing to someone. :) I wanted to watch FAME for the longes time ever, but I felt the spirit promted me to wait. I struggled for a little while but choose to submit eventually. Not long after, I receive an email from the school saying that they are giving out free FAME movie tickets... 75 pairs only! I dont normally sit infront of the computer around 4ish... and I happen to be sitting infront of the comp! Praise the Lord. WHOO-HOO.
FAME Movie was good... I really like the part where the guy sing to girl... in order to win her heart! It was so sweet.. I will post the lyrics someday. hahaa. Good things are worth waiting for... :P

RainDrops of L.O.v.e!
it is currently pouring outside.
I looked outside and saw nothing but droplets of your love.
I said to myself, let your L.O.v.e rained on me like the morning dew...
the spattering sound of the rain reminds me of your love constantly pumping for me.
Daddy God, teach me to forgive; teach me to love the unlovable... teach me more about your Grace.
The rainbow comes after a thunderstorm. Thankyou Daddy God for cheering me up!!! :)
its already 3am and why am I still up???!!
Thankyou for keeping me company during my wee hours.

Dallas Texas
it has been over a month since i move to Dallas, and thought i shld pen something down. Crazy weekend...3 exams next week. NO FUN!!!!
things were going crazy with all the moving in at first; getting furniture, getting around, meeting new people--- in short, getting ready for school. This definitely reminds me when I first move to Austin. And of course, this make me understand and acknowlege that moving is one of the stressors in life. Yeah, moving is exciting where you get to be in a new environment, meet new people etc. but still it can be stressful.
I am more and less settled down here in Dallas, making new friends, classes and daily routine. I am pretty much into the flow of things in my life. But, I wld not say my life is a routine for things do act up sometimes. I am glad that I found a christian fellowship that I really like, and the people there are cool and fun to hang out with. Yes, I just came back from fall retreat. It was amazing... I wish it cld be longer though. Sermon was good, worship was fantastic... meeting new people was superb. It was simply the love of Christ that brought people together, isnot that awesome? The part that I really like was the campfire where everyone shares about what communion means to them and take communion together as one body. :)
I was being asked if I would rather stay in U.S or go back home after graduation. For now, I would prefer staying in the U.S; not because I feel Americanized but rather there is a feeling that you cant explain with words; it seems like you are being suck into the system. When will I decide to get out? Hmm.. let me think. Until legal actions come against me for expired visa or I-20 or when I have enough fun. In short. Its plain curiousity that held my feets to the ground. Honestly, I have never seriously thought about the answers to the question before. Probably its a way of escape, or getting comfortable with the lifestyle, or it can maybe be the desire to be independent and matures. When you are all alone in a foreign country, you truely see the grace and hands of God in your life. Not saying that its all going to be easy times; but it is during these tough times that you know that you have someone to run to and a pair of loving arms to depend on. Probably this is the reason why i want to stay here... getting out of comfort zone and be challenged in many ways (though its not very fun most of the time).
How many times you hear people saying "curiousity kills the cat"? In other words, the world is saying it pays a price to fufil one's curiousity. Being curious is not a bad thing, but curiousity means taking risk. Risk to many people is scary. WHY? Many people fear of the unknown, and dont know where their curiousity is going to lead them or maybe the fear of losing their security. My point here is the fact that the world lacks of love and security drives more people to take a step back from taking risks. But, if you know there is a loving Daddy God who will never leave you nor forshake you; would you make a different choice in your path? Think about it for a moment..... This reminds me of one of my motivating factors that makes me decide to come to U.S on 12/31/2007. (Boy, it has been a while) Knowing how much I am loved and forgiven by Jesus's crucification on the cross gives me courage and boldness to step in a foreign land even when I do not know what to expect (except the grace and love of God in my life. Yes thats sufficient!!!). It was exciting to me, and still is to me. The love of God will never cause you to lose your path. In fact, the love of God will lead to you the right path... meeting the right people at the right time. Jesus is more than a God. HE IS MY FATHER WHO LOVES ME DEARLY. THANKYOU DADDY GOD FOR THIS AWESOME LOVE that I sometimes take it for granted. hee.
good night y'all!
