Attitude Problem
One of my faithful friend, while on General Bible Study called me and asked if i would like to hear the preaching/teaching even on phone. This friend of mine doesn't even know that im struggling with a certain behavior problem. But i said yes to her.
Whew! The preaching feeds me. And thanks be to God for using a friend as an instrument for me. I am willing to be renewed and be changed...all because of the Lord.
From the preaching comes the word "humility and obedience". It says there that our faith is seen through being humble and learning to obey. God is helping us to change through rebukes or correction.
And again, i am one blessed soul because the Lord remains faithful and gracious to a sinner like me.
Praise and glory be to our Lord God Almighty.

Psalm 94:18-19 (New International Version)
18 When I said, "My foot is slipping,"
your love, O LORD, supported me.
19 When anxiety was great within me,
your consolation brought joy to my soul.
Life has curves. Whether it be crooked, zigzag, straight, or seems unended, we know that God led our feet and soul in every direction. As what we've heard over and over, "LIFE IS A SERIES OF TEST". And each one of us has curves to go through. But with our faith in God, we were able to surpass and survived the curves and glorifying God through it.
We are conquerors in Christ.

As Shared by Ma'am Rachel
Happiness is an inside job-not about chasing greater net worth, but cultivating greater self-worth; not about having money,but finding more meaning in life. Only in CHRIST shall we lack nothing. In HIM we are complete.
One thing I've learned from God is how to get along happily...whether I have much or little...I know how to live in nothing or w/ everything.I've learned the secret of contentment in every situation...Do you know why? because GOD is more than enough to cover everything!
Our thoughts are powerful that we could allow them to build us up rather than teat us down. With GOD's help,we can discipline our thoughts to benefit every area of our life. Let's commit our thought to God & let HIM show us how to become victorious.-->Philippians 4:8
Prophets Daniel's faithful, consistent & disciplined prayer continually aligned his life with God, which proved to be the wellspring of his godly character.
Even when others turn away,JESUS stays with us.
"Regardless of what you have come to believe about GOD based on your experience, the truth is that when GOD thinks of you, love swells in HIS heart & a smile to HIS face."
Waiting on JESUS is not a passive act.Waiting on JESUS is soul work. As we wait,we relinquish control,surrender our wills,give up our false hopes & realize that if anything is going to happen at all,it will have to be GOD'S doing
When we are intentional about noticing our relational & physical surroundings,we see things we did see before. JESUS encouraged us to "notice" when he reminded us to look at the birds & observe the flowers (Matt.6:25-34) The simplicity of a wildflower reveals the effortless care that GOD offers us.
Praise God for knowing Ma'am Rachel. She is a pastor's wife and a mother of 3 beautiful kids.She is a blessing to me.

Encouragement for Today
Give your life fully to God, so He can use it for His glory and the advancement of His Kingdom. Hebrew 4:12
"That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us; which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." Hebrews 6:18-19. A sweet promise, for all of us.

BEAR A CHANCE
I know a poem requires a rhyme. And it should be simple and understandable.
I am doing it now and i would like to share it with you because i need your help with the grammar and the use of punctuation which i admit i am not very much educated with it.
The title of the poem is "A New Day"
Every morning I wake up
The breezes are beyond my grasp
But one thing, I understand
This is a new day to live, though hard
In my young mind, I glance
Trying to cope up with the crisis, and stand
Parents say life isn’t easy, to bear a chance
This is a new day to live, but I am proud
Go to school, learned another lesson
Back home and found, another reason to laugh
Family’s love I would never fail to have
This is a new day to live, yet I am glad
In my youth, I found my life back
Jesus I’ve learned, sacrificed a lot
No more worries, His grace I have found
This is a new day to live and say, PRAISE GOD
I would like to hear from anyone who would peaked on this blog.
Something i feel wrong on the second verse/stanza. Which is my blogpost title "bear a chance"...can you help me explain it based on your understanding of it.
Chance have many meanings. Could be an opportunity or happenings. But how about "bear a chance"?
I would like to say thank you in advance.
Glory to God for His love and mercy!!!

TRUST IN THE LORD
--- To TRUST IN THE LORD.
There are lots of verses from the Bible to live by, by a person who seeks to learn and be changed.
It's so easy to trust in man, but i must confessed that it isn't easy to TRUST AGAIN when the person cause u hurt and so much pain. But we must understand that man are not perfect, only God is. So better for us to trust in God than to trust in man.
We have limits. Some people don't believe they have limits. God set those limits for us to seek His help and not to seek for whatever we can still do. We can do nothing. God is not mock. Every Words that comes out of Him were and remained true. God thought us to be humble. Humility leads us to trust Him in whatever or however our lives are. As we humble ourselves, as we trust Him, He will surely help us and will never leave us no matter what.
I have been worried about something lately. This i know i cannot do something about. I maybe strong but this time, im the weakest. I've accepted my weakness and opened my heart to what God has in store for me as i trusted Him my life.
I don't wanna disappoint God because i'm weak. I wanna glorify Him in my weakness.
In His strength i would love to dwell.
In His might, i would love to be comforted.
In His power, i know i'll be safe.
In His faithfulness, i know i can endure things.
In His love and grace, i know i already won the battle. Jesus won the battle for me. I am one blessed daughter of the Most Holy and on-High Father.
The key? TRUSTING HIM MY LIFE.
Have a blessed weekend everyone.
