Be Strong!
Be strong!
When you persevere through this severe trial you will be stronger, more confident, richer, refreshed and better.
Be Strong!
The desire to give up is sometimes overwhelming but don't quit.
Be Strong!
Many of you are now entering the 7 day water portion of 42.
Many of you are just going through a rough time that has absolutely nothing to do with 42.
Be Strong!

THE FUNERAL
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one oftheir colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died! One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, andwhen they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless.
They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.There was a mirror inside the coffin; everyone who looked inside it couldsee himself.There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:There is only one person who is capable of settinglimits to your growth: IT IS YOU!!!!!
Your life does not change when your boss changes,when your friends change,when your parents change, when your husband or wife change,when your company change,when your churchchanges, when your location change, when your money change,when your status change... Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It's the way you face Life that makes the difference.

In the beginning,the girl tried to
find her identity within cliques.
Then she tried to balance her schoolwork,friends,family,and
all other issues alone.
She failed.There was a mass
destructive force in her life.
A tornado swept through her,
disrupting everything she thought she had.
She went back to the one
she knew she could trust.
She went back to her Maker,
and she found the strength
to slowly rebuild her life,
to try and lay the foundation
right this time.
She has learnt from the past.
She will stay true to herself.
The past few days were tiring and depressing.Yet I know I'll find my strength in the LORD,who will build me up.I trust in Him to work in my life,and bring me just the right people that I need.He is my Healer; He can do all that no one could.

As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer. "Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt!
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber.
"I am here, and I am a barber and I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."
"Exactly!" affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.

That is why they say;
Let us not give up in meeting one another,because by ourselves it's really so hard.
But when we are together, the collective can rally round the individual who falters.'
[/quote]
Still,skeptical me asked;
What if the group that meets up are all strayers?
'Then let iron sharpen iron'
This is a lesson to me,and I hope it can be to you too..

Thank you Brother.
As on my life blog,I mentioned about the falling out with my father.I was,and still am feeling angsty.Then a brother came and gave me this verse.It was in relation to another topic I've posted on a forum,but I felt that it comforted me somehow.I don't know why,and I don't know how.
BUT I AM STILL ANGRY.

Who Am I
Casting Crowns
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Bridge:
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.
I am yours.
Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am yours.
I am yours.

Jesus loves;And I lived.
Although I have no idea who you are,I appreciate the frankness in your comment,and the advice therein.
After the death of Kirie,I was VERY angry,upset,betrayed,a total mess.
Also,some ejit came & 'destroyed' me.I was seriously HATING him.But now I've come around it,and have started to pray for him instead.This,of course,was partly because of what was dicussed at the last LM. 'Love the unloveable'.Though I'd like to add 'in your eyes',because no one is unloveable in His.
That's the difference.
So I'm still learning,what love is.
People marry because of love.
& then a few years down the road,they get a divorce.
That is not love.That is infactuation.
Love is {or should be} unconditional.
Honestly speaking,I don't think that'd ever be possible between human & human.
It can only occur from the Savior to the saved.Not even from the saved to the savior.
What do I mean?
God can forever love us unconditionally.But can we say we love Him unconditionally? I can't say that.All I can do,is to try.& I think,it's not the result that matters,but the process.The fact that we've taken the first step to try, is enough for Him.Otherwise,He would never have said He loved us.
Other than loving God,we have to love our neighbors as ourselves.
And YES.that includes everyone you come into contact with.
Your friends,family,colleagues,bosses...
even the person who cuss you from one end of the Earth to another.
Can you do it?
I am willing to try.
He will do the rest.
