a broken heart

I wana break loose,
to break forth and be out

I wana advance forward,
with hope and strength in my heart

I wana win this war,
from the many furnance of affliction

To soar the sky and sail the sea,
I wana live in victory

But life can be tough in many ways,
even the best fall down sometimes

What matters most isn't what life bring,
but how one deter its strong winds

You are my achor of hope,
You are the strength of my heart,
You are the love of my life,
and You are the Lord of all

Help me Lord, just as i am,
as i limp through my race of faith

I don't want to sucumb to what life brings,
give me strength to resist

To stand strong and tall, that's my goal,
and stay in the middle of the goal

Circumstance don't dictate my life,
People's opinions they come and go,
What matters most is having You in my life.

My greatest value is found in You.

Change isn't change, until it is change.

"Change is not change until it is change. "

Don't just talk, think, dream about it; Get something started!

Nothing aint gona change, if you aint gona move. A quit-er conforms himself to failure because he refuses to push the boundaries of limitation.

Don't just imagine change, do it!

Man are creations of habits, how about starting from your usual rountine habits?
Or how about starting from feeding your mind with the right stuff?
Or how about this, why not talk to someone who can help you initate this change that you seek?
The list goes on.

Listen to the holy frustration inside you, kick some devil's butt today.
For everytime they say "YOU can't", rebuke their claims by confessing "I can!"

Stop sitting at the bottom of your pit and whine about how life has been hard on you. Tragedy hits everybody, just the matter of time. Climb out of your own self-pity pit and do some work buddy.

Talking about pits, consider Isaac.

The enemies came and blocked all the wells up with the rotting dead animal corpses. They threw rocks and dirt down the wells, hoping to shut the children of God away from tapping the resources. They tried to rob them of what God had already provided them through Abraham.

Solution? Start digging today!

Get that stinking attitude out of your system today. Get that hard and stubborn sin out of your life. Stop allowing the devil to fill you up with the filth of this world, start digging deep down inside.

The truth is, God never expect us to give if we got nothing to give. He'll never expect us to be able to change if he hadn't provided every means we need to, to change. Start unclogging your life today.

As they dug in the valley, they found there a well of springing water. (See Genesis 26) As you dig deep into your hearts and your spirit today, you'll find the river of the living waters! Find it, find it in God!

Deep inside everyone of us lies the seeds for greatness.

Find that courage to change today. Stick to it!

You'll never fail, if you never quit.
Failure is reserved for those who have given up trying.

Others can, I can't

"Others can, I can't"

That gona be drilled into my thick skull.

When one walks in the fear of God, he departs from evil.

The decision to leave what seemingly looks, smells and appears to be desirable to the flesh and turn toward walking in the narrow way, in the lifestyle of continual discipline, self-denial and cross-bearing...is definately not an easy one.

Sin is sin. Sin has consequence. Loud and clear.

The choice between what feels right and what is actually right may sound obvious now. But when one goes through life and faced with all its options, the line seems to get blurred on the way.

What governs us now is the fear inside us that- SIN has consequence. To him who knows how to do good and does not do them, it is sin the bible say.

Ask yourself the question:

" Do i wana spend the rest of my life in constant regret Or i may gona suffer awhile now but im gona reap the good fruits later?"

May God gives you the wisdom to make the right decisions in life.

Courage to change

"Life is composed of our choices and constructed by our words." To change your life, change your choices and the use of your words.

You cannot correct whats wrong in your life by continuing to do the same things that caused the problems. You have to be willing to change. You have to have courage to change. Change is the only constant in maturity.

Courage is exemplified by walking away from something when you prefer to fight. Courage is also shown by the willingness to fight when your prefer to run. It is the wisdom to know the difference.

Life

Life's full of uncertainty
full of mystery and unknown
the minute you think you know it all
you get wack by another unexpected surprise

Life's full of sorrow
full of pain and aching of heart
the minute you think you suffered enough
you find people around you breaking you heart

Life's full of temptations
full of right and wrong choices
the moment you think you're all wise and smart
you make a bad choice, and fall to face the consequence

Well, that's the reality of life-that is if you chooses to see its dark side. Without direction and the light of Christ, many find themselves dellusionised, lost and all alone to face the dark clouds of the seemingly mysterious future.

That's why hope is so important.

To have confidence in the future. To be able to walk with the strength that comes out as a result of the hope you carry in your heart.

Carry hope today! Find it, in God.

When there seems no way, He'll make a better way.
When there seems to be no end, He'll bring comfort and healing to the wounds you've got.

Find it, in God.

My hands-on experience at creation!

Here's what im been busy with lately.

Gave a shot at "creation", had a foretaste to how to create from stratch. From picturing how things would be like, to cleaning up the mess of my tank, to buying the stuff to have the best environment for my fishes, to setting up of the equipment....haha.

I may not grasp the depth and the magnitude of the entire libary of God's creation work, but i guess i understood some principals behind it as i went through my little hands-on experience of creating my own aquarium.

As i began to plan what i want, picturing it in my mind how everything will look like, researching the best and most suitable plants and fishes to be put into the tank inorder to have the best results...i understood how God must have felt. He chose and made man, unqiue on this earth...not for the pure fun of seeing us suffer, and die. But to see us strife in His care, to be healthy and growing, to grow into beautiful beings that's breathtaking to behold. God is good.

Secondly, i understood that... God is my provider. No matter how busy i may be, no matter what mood i may be in...i will not leave them to starve and die. Doesn't mean im around them all the time, but i've done too much and i love them enough...i'll feed them with abundance till they're full and satisfied. They dont have to fight to survive, they rest under the provision of my lordship. In fact, overfeeding them may cause them to die faster than i know it.

There's something interesting i discovered, no matter how thoughtful i am, how generous i am in feeding them with as much as they would eat, how much love i have toward them... everytime i stuck my hands into the tank to clean, to remove debris, to add decor, to improve their dwelling place...THEY RUN into hiding! It occured to me, how Man have been running away from the hand of God too. We hate His discipline and we run away from it, in the bubble of our comfort zone,even though we know its good for our soul. Silly fishes, I had to do that because i had to-to bless them, not to torture them! Similarly, God's goal in disciplining us is not to crash us..but to build us up.

Also, like God...my desire for them is to "be fruitful and multiply!" TO increase, to grow, to mature, to be capable of being productive... to fill the entire tank so much so its glorious to behold! After all I had done so much work, so that it will florish and i would recieve glory for it in the end what... That's God's will for us too-to give Him glory, to be grateful and thankful for everything He has done.

God's good, and He never fails us.

Don't worry!
