ReflEctiONs..
Hi! I was so tired yesterday that I forgot about the weekend that just passed! Hmm..on Sun, Mike Connell prayed for me before the sermon. Couldn't really remember what he said about me, but glad that my dad's gonna get the recording for me to hear! Thanks dad! I only recalled him asking me "Do you know that God loves you?" When I opened my mouth to speak, no voice came out...so i could only nod my head in response. Hmm..think the last time I talked to him was the deliverance at former hollywood theatre, when i brought Sarah Connell out. Gosh..time flies..but as he prayed for me..in an instant..the memories over the past 3 years flashed through my head..i was drained out..but felt God was telling me He was there through it all..not for one second was He away from me..and I was touched..that God is a faithful God..even at times that we are not..felt blessed. Talked to Gabriel the night before..and he told me that no matter what might happen..he'll make sure he'll never leave church..something about that statement struck me..but i just can't seem to decipher what God's trying to tell me. Will spend time to seek Him! Okie..gotta stop here..have work to do! tAtaz!

hEre's sOmetHing tHat cAugHt my atteNtiOn!

"Food For Thought"

God didn't promise days without pain,
laughter without sorrow, sun without rain,
but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Disappointments are like road humps,
they slow you down a bit..
but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the humps too long. Move on!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
just sit tight and be happy,
because God is thinking of
something BETTER to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad,
consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events,
to teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.

You can't make someone love you,
all you can do is be someone who can be loved,
the rest is up to the person,
to realize your worth.

What the heart gives away is never gone...
It is kept in the hearts of others.
Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risks.
Secure a special place in your heart.
A certain place only you can enter.
For there will come a time when you need to find yourself..
and only your heart will show you the way.

The measure of love is when you love without measure.
In life there are very rare chances that you'll meet the person you love,
and loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go,
the chance might never come your way again.

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend so much time looking for the right person to love,
or finding fault with those we already love,
when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

When you truly care for someone,
you don't look for faults,
you don't look for answers,
you don't look for mistakes.
Instead, you fight the mistakes,
you accept the faults, and you overlook the excuses.

Never abandon an old friend!
You will never find one who can take his place.
Friendship is like wine,
it gets better as it grows older.
