Story.
Daniel: I guess we are the left overs in this world.
Jasmine: I think so.. All of my friends have boyfriends & we are the only 2 persons left in this world without any special someone in our lives.
Daniel: Yup! I don't know what to do.
Jasmine: I know! We'll play a game.
Daniel: What game?
Jasmine: I'll be your girlfriend for 30 days & you will be my boyfriend.
Daniel: That's a great plan in fact, I don't have anything to do for the
following weeks..
DAY 1:
They watched their first movie together & were both touched in the romantic film.
DAY 4:
They went to the beach & had a picnic... Daniel & Jasmine had their quality time together.
DAY 12:
Daniel invited Jasmine to a circus and they went to a Horror House.. Jasmine was scared and she tried to touch Daniel's hand but by accident she touched someone else's and they both laughed..
DAY 14:
They saw a fortune teller down the road and asked for their future. The
fortune teller said: 'My darlings, please don't waste the time of your lives... spend your time together happily.' Then tears flow from the teller's eyes.
DAY 20:
Jasmine invited Daniel to go to the hill and they saw a meteor... Jasmine mumbled something.
DAY 28:
They rode on a bus and because of the bumpy road, Jasmine gave her first kiss to Daniel by accident.
DAY 29:
11:37 pm
Daniel & Jasmine were sitting in the park where they first decided to play this game...
Daniel: I'm tired Jasmine... do you want any drinks? I'll buy you one.. I'll just go down the road..
Jasmine: Apple juice would be fine, thanks.
Daniel: Wait for me...
20 minutes later... a stranger approached Jasmine.
Stranger: Are you a friend of Daniel?
Jasmine: Yes, why? What happened?
Stranger: A reckless drunken driver ran over Daniel & he is critical in the hospital.
11:57pm;The doctor came out from the emergency room & handed out an apple juice & a letter to Jasmine.
Doctor: We found this in Daniel's pocket.
Jasmine read the letter which says:
Jasmine, this past few days, I realized you are really a cute girl & I am falling for you.. your cherished smile, your everything when we played this game.. & before this game ends, I would like you to be my girlfriend for the rest of my life. I love you, Jasmine...
Jasmine crumples the paper & shouted..
'Daniel! I don't want you to die...I love you... Remember that night we saw a meteor? I mumbled something.. I wished that we would be together forever & never end this game. Please don't leave me, Daniel... I love you, you cant do this to me
Then the clock strikes 12 Daniel's heart stop pumping THEN IT WAS THE 30th DAY...
****************************************
Always love your loved ones & show them how you feel before it's too late.. You will never know when they will be gone from your embrace.. If you were given a time to bestow petals of everlasting compassion & love to your love ones, today is the day. Love them while they are still here...

The Heart
"You'll find Jesus there," the boy interrupted.
The surgeon looked up, annoyed.
"I'll cut your heart open," he continued,to see how much damage has been done..."
"But when you open up my heart,you'll find Jesus in there," said the boy.
The surgeon looked to the parents, who sat quietly.
"When I see how much damage has been done, I'll sew your heart and chest back up,
and I'll plan what to do next."
"But you'll find Jesus in my heart.
The Bible says He lives there. The hymns all say He lives there.
You'll find Him in my heart."
The surgeon had had enough.
"I'll tell you what I'll find in your heart.
I'll find damaged muscle, low blood supply, and weakened vessels.
And I'll find out if I can make you well."
"You'll find Jesus there too. He lives there."
The surgeon left.The surgeon sat in his office, recording his notes from the surgery, "...damaged aorta,damaged pulmonary vein, widespread muscle degeneration.
No hope for transplant, no hope for cure.
Therapy:painkillers and bed rest.
Prognosis:here he paused, "death within one year."
He stopped the recorder, but there was more to be said.
"Why?" he asked aloud. "Why did You do this? You've put him here;
You've put him in this pain;and You've cursed him to an early death. Why?"
The Lord answered and said,
"The boy, My lamb, was not meant for your flock for long,
for he is a part of My flock, and will forever be.
Here, in My flock, he will feel no pain, and will be comforted as you cannot imagine.
His parents will one day join him here,and they will know peace,
and My flock will continue to grow."
The surgeon's tears were hot, but his anger was hotter.
"You created that boy, and You created that heart. He'll be dead in months. Why?"
The Lord answered, "The boy, My lamb, shall return to My flock, for He has done his duty;
I did not put My lamb with your flock to lose him, but to retrieve another lost lamb."
The surgeon wept.
The surgeon sat beside the boy's bed; the boy's parents sat across from him.
The boy awoke and whispered, "Did you cut open my heart?
"Yes," said the surgeon.
"What did you find?" asked the boy.
"I found Jesus there," said the surgeon.

What matters.
Thus,it's not Jesus,
but Jesus Christ that matters.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.I'd wish to,too.I know that it won't be easy,the Christian walk..But I don't know why,I seem to be filled with SO MANY questions,doubts,and what nots.It's REALLY HORRENDOUS,I wouldn't wish it on any of my enemies. =x
I really wonder if I am any better than a non-believer.Although I have chosen to take Him as my personal savior,I still have lots of doubts,and very little faith..I don't even know how to pray. )): And yeah.I wonder what's faith.then Yuki gave me Hebrews 11:1. Okayyy.That explains it.A little.I hate how I am so full of questions,but have such little capability to answer them.Makes me feel real useless. ))):
Anyways,this is an excerpt of my letter,from my Mentor;Geofferey:
'Remember this path you have chosen is not always a path full of easiness,but in reality,the hardest route to follow.But do you not wonder why there are so many people still believing in Him?Why there are so many people willing to carry this cross of salvation?'
Well,actual fact is that I DO.In fact,more often than you'd think I will. =x sighs.I am questioning my conviction as well.Why I first believed.
I think it was more for acceptance;a place I belong,where I can be me..I want to find my identity, and be able to live with it,with my head held high.Because what I think of me now,I don't think I deserve a place in His Kingdom.
It's so easy to say,to advice,to quote.But how many of us can really do what we preach?
Stories of Samson & Paul (Saul) gives hope that even the most vile of mankind can be accepted, so long as they confess..But they didn't seem to have much doubts..
Job was a man of character and strength,that even when everything seemed to be gone,he still found strength to praise the Lord.His is a story that shows God is with us through every circumstance,He will let the devil get away with doing anything to us,SO LONG as he doesn't take our lives.It seems to highlight the old cliche;"whatever can't kill you will only serve to make you stronger." Seems to me as though Job was an example of how to be in the world,yet not of the world.
Nicodemus was one who had PLENTY of doubts..But was enlightened in the end.
I felt as though I can relate to this character..Though I may not have memorized the Bible,I do know what I can do.Or can't.But I still question it,and sometimes do it so others would get off my back..
I only hope that now that I've realized this,I'll be able to move on,and improve myself.To be able to grow in my walk with Him..
I don't know how to go about getting involved in an accountability group.Who am I accountable to?Myself & He who is within me..Is that not so?Who else would be interested in my life,since neither my relatives nor family are Christians?.

A church is a hospital for souls
Don't expect to go and not find anyone without at least as many problems as you have yourself.
If someone is hypocritical then church is the perfect place to get set free
Love more, look for faults less
If you want to be touched by God reach out and touch someone with His love
Love the unlovely
Be an encourager - people don't need to be told what their problems are but instead they are looking for answers so point them to Jesus for He is their answer
Support your church, it takes a lot of finances to pay utilities, salaries, supplies etc.
Be quick to forgive, give as much mercy as you yourself need (it's usually more than we think)
Don't take offense, see the people who hurt you through Jesus's eyes and your heart will quickly change.
Or as the Lord put it so very well- Love ye one another even as I have loved you-
