5TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY

Time flies. Love come and go. Attitude changes.

But my love for WRITING didn't stop.

And i am glad to realized that it's my 5th year now BLOGGING.

I would like to take this moment to "THANK" all the people behind this site, www.blogger.com, for an opportunity they are giving us for writing our thoughts, ideas, likes/dislikes, beliefs, love stories, life stories FREE-OF-CHARGE.

That's one thing to be thankful at. But ofcourse, through this site, i was able to share my faith in God which is the most important thing. And i hope my readers, atleast, understand my simple epistle and was able to be encouraged and learn from the writing and feel and accept the Lord Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

I am thankful from day 1 until now that the blog still exist to give the writers freedom to write their thoughts and beliefs too without limitations.

The respect and appreciation that i got from people who visited my blog is something to feel grateful at. Plus the many blogs that i read and i subscribed too that has affected me and my faith and my love for Jesus.

Thank you so much whoever you are.

And thank you Lord for the desire for writing bout Your goodness and the desire to shout-out Your praise. You are honored, magnified and glorified above all.

I love you, Lord Jesus.

I am not really good at editing..lol

ATTITUDE

After walking around and paying some bills, i stopped at Chowking Olongapo to get my lunch. This has been my favorite place for meals because they offer satisfactory food and real food compared to other fastfood chains. I always order a cup of rice, kangkong, tofu and just water.

But today, i have a different kind of experience. One cashier/staff got my attention. Another staff incharge of delivery went to the place near the counter to inquire of the order when he accidentally touch the small cup that is being filled, by the lady staff, with gravy. The lady doesnt like it and all of the sudden left with a bad face.

I was second in line by the counter and by the time the cashier ask me of my order, i was blank. I got distracted from the scene that got my attention.

I don't like the attitude of the lady staff to thing that the man staff already said SORRY. I believe the man staff is new to the fastfood. And everybody made mistakes on first times.

And the worst thing is that i ordered Chowking Lauriat instead of my favorite dish here.

Oh well, attitude, especifically BAD ATTITUDE can be distractive...very distractive.

While i am writing this post, i can only ask for forgiveness for the feelings that i've felt.

LESSON:

It's hard working in a fastfood chain. Its a fast-phase enviroment. Employees should have that great and extended patience at all times. Their actions and reactions will affect how the customers feel about the food that  they are gonna eat.

Anyway, this is also the first time i've encountered such an attitude.  And this won't stop me from eating chowking meals and going back here again and again and referring it to my friends.

Dating Tips for Christians

I saw this on facebook group known as "all true men" and i believe this is worth sharing.

10 Dating Tips for Christian Singles

1) Do not be unequally yoked.

Take II Cor. 6:14 seriously.
Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness? (NLT)

If you are dating someone who doesn't have a personal relationship with Christ, you are playing with fire. If you fall in love, what will you do? Don’t let the relationship progress to a physical point and then hope you can cut it off later.

2) Put on the armor of God daily. You need all the help you can get in today’s world. Are you spending time with God? Do you depend on Him to meet your needs of love and security? You can resist temptation if you put on the whole armor of God (Eph. 6:10-20).

3) Put obedience over passion. Not everything we do that’s right, feels good. In fact, usually the opposite is true. It feels incredibly good to give in to passion. But, the authority of Christ needs to take precedence over your physical drives. Society tells you to give in to the moment. Christ tells you to be obedient to His word.

4) Physical expression must be appropriate. Physical touch/intimacy should correspond with commitment. This doesn't mean anything goes if you are engaged. Physical touch should be in the context of a meaningful relationship, not reduced to satisfaction of personal need.

5) Limits must be set mutually. Both partners should take responsibility for setting limits. Mutual boundary keeping reflects maturity.

6) Examine your personal motives.
What is your motivation - power and control, gratifying your own ego, meeting a selfish need, or genuine affection?

7) Is there too much physical and too little other? If the social, emotional, spiritual dimensions are missing or lacking, you are out of balance. If you can’t stand the person but have a great physical relationship, rethink the relationship.

Less is better.

If one person is uncomfortable with any type of physical expression, don’t do it. You should respect and honor each other. Don’t push a date to do anything that makes him/her feel uncomfortable.

9) Be guided by love versus lust. Love is the fruit of the Spirit. From love comes self-control. Operate in love, not lust.

10) Allow the Holy Spirit to direct and lead you. If you feel convicted of certain behaviors, stop doing them.

Special Note: If you are a teen, you must honor your parents and respect their counsel (Ephesians 6:2-3). You are subject to parental authority. Don’t be sexually active just because you can get away with it.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiastes 4:12

Healing

Its been three (3) weeks now since i have this flu...and its still infecting my whole body and making me feel muscle-weak. Had fever and it ended for 4 days and after two weeks, colds came. It is never good to be sick for weeks. My husband has been worrying. I have been drinking a lot of fruit juices and ginger ale and calamansi juice has become my daily fluid companion. Its not healthy to be sick...this is obvious lol.

But it is not good since i use my voice in the ministry, all for the glory of God. I am praying for complete healing and deliverance from this infection. Mama told me maybe this is an allergic reaction to dust and smoke. Aunt say its "binat" from being sicked and still doing a lot of daily stuffs.

This is my prayer:

Lord, You created everything according to Your desire
My voice to You i surrender
And everything that's taking place within my throat and body i give it all to You
If this sickness came from my unrighteousness, forgive me
If this is to test me, give me enough strength to endure and overcome its pain
If this is the work of the enemy, i casts it out in Jesus' mighty Name (in Jesus Name)
Lord, i just wanna offer You my all
My body and soul are not my own, it came from You
Give me good health and let me give You glory
As long as i shall live
And give me power to shout out Your praise
In Jesus Name i pray, Amen.

On Taking Online Quizzes

Not much to do today. So i decided to open my computer and look for something interesting.

Pop-ups....Bling!

I saw an online quiz. In here, you will choose what type of quiz would you like to take up.

I am just having fun but ofcourse i chose the ones that had to do with my spiritual life.

And these are the result of the quizzes i've took:

1. What is your soul name?

Result: Grace or Benjiman

"you are kind to all things and that's how it is going to be"

2. What is God's gift to you?

Result: A WORSHIPPER

"Your destiny is a worshipper. Worship is a natural instinct and a basic need for every person. A simple definition of worship is to regard with great devotion or to honor as a divine being. Worship happens when we sing to God, whether in church or alone - in our cars or in the shower. Your desire is to please the heart of God, it is worship, no matter where the location or how many are involved. A life of praise and worship fills your deepest needs and amazingly it also brings great joy to God. Ask God it might be you !"

3. Which mighty woman of the Bible are you most like?

Result: You are most like DEBORAH

"You aren't afraid to speak your mind. You know what you want, and go for it. You are motivated, and you revel in personal victories. You are wise in many ways, and you know well, and trust the God you serve. You are courageous, and can look fear in the face. You are a victor."

"People like you and follow your leadership. You love deeply even though relationships can cause you great pain. You�re sensitive and just want to get along with everyone."

5. Bible Trivia

Note: Im taking this quiz without knowing it's reality.

I believe only God will tell us who we are to Him. Reading and studying His words...is the best thing to know.

Fearing God and knowing His purpose in your life are important for "soul prosperity"

In His grace we have found our identity. It's in Jesus.

Encouragement I Love Today

Here to Eternity

The love of God...His faithfulness...His truth...His strength and power...His might...His promises are FOREVER.

Never a day will we not experience His presence not unless our hearts are open.

We sang a song yesterday entitled, HERE TO ETERNITY....and this song brought revival at Church. Spirit moved non-stop, hearts grown inlove, life-changed.

We have been singing this song since i was in college, the time also that i got born again, and yet it still makes impact...i great one that really lifted up souls.

I love the Lord so much but i know He loves me more than i could ever imagine.

Lyrics:

Your kingdom generation
Declares Your majesty
And our lives are resounding with Your praise
We see Your spirit moving
We burn with holy fire
And Your glory is seen through all the earth
You set eternity in my heart
And i live for You, for You
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Honor and praise forever
We'll shout a victory cry
From here to eternity
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We'll take our place in history
We'll shout Your awesome love
From here to eternity

It's really amazing to see people in worship and in total surrender to the Lord. God is magnified, glorified and adored above all.

Praise the Lord oh my soul.

Shampoo

Not advertising this but i just would like to share my appreciation of palmolive shampoos.

What i like about it is that:

1. It doesn't irritate my scalp
2. It has a smell that is not too hard on nose
3. Its keeping my hair smooth all day and even up to 2 days
4. Its PINK

So what it has to do with my life?

Well, when i start the day being clean not just spiritually speaking but also personally and physically, the whole day attitude follows. Its being fresh all day long. Being irritable will just make you less a Christian. Being clean shows a glow in you. And we praise the Lord for the GLOW and it is showing how glorious He is for giving us a stress-free day.

Thanks be to God, the lover of our soul.

God's Own

Forever thankful that i am always reminded of my worth to the Lord: I am His Child...the daughter of the Most High.

How can i complain if the one who owns me showed a lot of greatness, goodness and faithfulness.

The Bible says, "he is the same yesterday, today and forever." He never stops loving. He remained strong and remained the source of our strength.

I am a child. I have needs. I need guidance and protection. He is my Father. I need Him.

I declare today and always that no forms of darkness, famines, no weapons against me shall prosper and shall separate me from the love of my Father God.

I am a child of God. I am a princess.
