Why i sing

There is an endless song
Echoes in my soul
I hear the music ring

And though the storms may come
I am holding on
To the rock I cling

How can I keep from singing Your praise
How can I ever say enough
How amazing is Your love
How can I keep from shouting Your name
I know I am loved by the King
And it makes my heart want to sing!

I will lift my eyes
In the darkest night
For I know my Savior lives

And I will walk with You
Knowing You'll see me through
And sing the songs You give

I can sing in the troubled times
Sing when I win
I can sing when I lose my step
And fall down again
I can sing 'cause You pick me up
Sing 'cause You're there
I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
When I call to You in prayer
I can sing with my l  a  s  t     b  r  e  a  t  h
Sing for I know
That I'll sing with the angels
And the saints around the throne!

This is my doing

The disappoinments of life are simply the hidden appoinments of love. C.A. Fox

My child, I have a message for you today. Let me whispher it in your ear so any storm clouds that may arise will shine with glory, and the rough places you may have to walk will be made smooth. It is only four words, but let them sink into your inner being, and use them as a pillow to rest your weary head. This is my doing.

Have you ever realized that whatever concerns you concerns Me too? "For whoever touches you touches the apple of (my) eye" (Zech 2:8). "You are precious and honored in my sight" (Isa. 43:4). Therefore it is my special delight to teach you.

I want you to learn when temptations attack you, and the enemy comes in "like a pent-up flood" (Isa. 59:19), that this is my doing and that your weakness needs my strength, and your safety lies in letting Me fight for you.

Are you in difficult circumstances, surrounded by people who do not understand you, never ask your opinion, and always push you aside? This is my doing. I am the God of circumstances. You did not come to this place by accident--you are exactly where I meant for you to be.

Have you not asked Me to make you humble? Then see that I have placed you in the perfect school where this lesson is taught. Your circumstances and people around you are only being used to accomplish My will.

Are you having problems with money, finding it hard to make ends meet? This is my doing, for I am the One who keeps your finances, and I want you to learn to depend upon Me. My supply is limitless and "I  will meet all your needs" (Phil. 4:19). I want you to prove My promises so no one may say, "You did not trust in the Lord your God" (Deut. 1:32).

Are you experiencing a time of sorrow? This is my doing. I am "a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering" (Isa.53:3). I have allowed your earthly comforters to fail you, so that by turning to Me you may receive "eternal encouragement and good hope" (2 Thess 2:16).

Have you longed to do some great work for Me but instead have been set aside on a bed of sickness and pain? This is my doing. You were so busy I could not get your attention, and I wanted to teach you some of my deepest truths. "They also serve who only stand and wait." In fact, some of my greatest workers are those physically unable to serve, but who have learned to wield the powerful weapon of prayer.

Today, I place a cup of holy oil in your hands. Use it freely, My child. Anoint with it every new circumstance, every word that hurts you, every interruption that makes you impatient, and every weakness you have.

The pain will leave you as you learn to see Me in all things.

Laura A. Barter Snow

all because of You

I want to set the story straight It's time to tell the truth I never could have come so far If it were not for You It's all because of You.... They tell me to abandon You To make my dreams come true So what am i supposed to do If i only dream of You? You covered up my sin You covered up my silence You covered up my shame You made me new again... It's all because of You.... JESUS -- All because of you by Tree63

Liberty in the Ocean

There is liberty in the ocean
In the sea, you find freedom.
Because it is in these waters
That you realize
You are part of something
Much much bigger than your world;
Something unknown.

And it is not knowing,
That you find faith.
And it is in FAITH
That you find FREEDOM.

Ten Little Christians

Ten Little Christians, standing in a line,
One disliked the pastor, then there were nine.

Nine little Christians stayed up very late,
One slept too late on Sunday, then there were eight.

Eight little Christians on their way to Heaven,
One took the low road, then there were seven.

Seven little Christians chirping like some chicks,
One disliked the music, then there were six.

Six little Christians seemed very much alive,
but one lost his interest then there were five.

Five little Christians pulling for heaven's shore,
but one stopped to rest, then there were only four.

Four little Christians, each busy as a bee
One got her feelings hurt, then there were three.

Three little Christians knew not what to do,
One joined the sporting crowd, then there were two.

Two little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done,
differed with each other, then there was one.

One little Christian, can't do much 'tis true;
brought his friend to Bible study-then there were two.

Two earnest Christians, each won one more,
that doubled the number, then there were four.

Four sincere Christians worked early and worked late,
Each won another, then there were eight.

Eight splendid Christians, if they doubled as before,
In just a few short weeks, we'd have 1,024

In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,
You either belong to the Building, Or to the Wrecking Crew.

Italy: Day 1

05.05.09, 10:30PM

i'm sooooo tired! and so cold!! hindi ako prepared...

1 day pa lang ako dito feeling ko tumaba na ako...

can i go home now? =)

AM: arrived at Rome 7AM. we just left our stuff at home then went to Palatine hill, where roman civilization started in the 10th century BC by the coming together of several villages. we heard of a very interesting vestal virign of the temple of Vesta. =)

Lunch: pizza! weird pizza.. like ham & cheese sandwich. ate at the sidewalk.

PM: Colloseo. i finally got to go inside! yey! i tried to imagine the place as it was centuries ago... people coming in to see the show. they brought food with them which they could re-heat in an oven, the ladies would bring make-up and combs, and some would sew with a bone needle while watching. the games were hard to imagine... they said that before, the arena had a moat around it to force the fighters and animals back into the center. but people would jump into the moat to save themselves. since nobody was dying, the young men went to Egypt and brought with them crocodiles from the Nile river. very very brutal times...

then it rained and we waited inside... i bought a book. =)

we walked to piazza Venezia and saw the statue which was a tribute to Victor II...

then to Fontana de Trevi which we did not get to enjoy the first time we were there. we had merienda near the fountain, pizza again & gelatto! =) fell in-love with the fountain...

then to the Pantheon... then Piazza Navona where we ate a delicious pizza 10 years ago... then back to piazza Venezia, this time on the other side of it where we saw the municipal hall (which we mistook for the spanish steps).

Dinner: went home to have dinner.. yummy penne pasta, beef steaks with gravy, salad, blue cheese, olives and cheese. =)

*WIPE OUT*
