ENJOY THESE MUSIC VIDEOS, JUST TO MAKE YOU SWAY YOUR SOUL AND BODY A BIT..
WHO SAYS by SELENA GOMEZ - I just love the song, especially the line " I'm no beauty queen, I'm just beautiful me". True, we are no beauty queens but we have our own beauties and to say so it's kind of a general in nature. Coz there's a lot of areas that we may be called beautiful, not just physically right? And she's right who says anyway of what we do. We're not here to please anyone. So enjoy..:)

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

WILL YOU RESPOND TO BE GOD'S CHILD?
A Father's love is greater than anyone else. Like our parents they know us more than any person that we share our life with. They love us no matter what wrong we have done for them. All we need to do in order for us to be forgiven is ask for forgiveness and confess our mistakes. Our parents are willing to forgive us no matter what the cost is. Like our parents, God can do more of it than our parents can do for us. Remember how God gave his own own son in John 3:16 it says:
John 3:16
New International Version (NIV)
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
God awaits us to call on Him..How about you? Are you one of God's child?If not what are you waiting for? Call unto God and let Him be your Savior and the Controller of your life.
I will share you something, before when I am not still a Christian - a child of God, doing things I thought was right in this contemporary world was way far different or let say wrong when you know what God really wants you to do. It is a life changing event when you truly accept God and when you have a personal relationship with Him. It was on October 2006 during my second year in college when I accepted God in my life. And on December 07, 2008 I was baptized. Here is something that I will share to you, it was shared to me when I was in 2nd year college - the time that I accepted God in to take control of my life. From Campus Crusade for Christ - the Christian organization where I have been affiliated. try to visit http://www.campuscrusade.com for more information on how you can develop your Christian life.
NOW, BEFORE YOU GO OVER READING THIS, I WILL LEAVE YOU JUST ONE QUESTION: WILL YOU RESPOND TO BE GOD'S CHILD AND WILL YOU LET HIM BE YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR?

SURPASSING THE LIMIT by FAITH
There is a certain capacity or limit that an individual can have. It is always been said that there is always limit in everything. But what if the fact that you know that it is your limit but still you try your best out to surpass it. There are certain situations in our lives that, maybe, just a bit maybe we should cross the borderline. Anyway, when you have potential skills or talent that is in you, sometimes you can even surpass the talent that you have. Let's just say in a game you will go to the next level. And when you are on the last stage you can even go far on it.
There may come a time wherein you may feel so down in your life and you may think that it may be the end of everything. You may feel so hopeless sometimes about your life but everyday is a moment to cherish and be thankful for. But there's a movie that I have watched and it's titled LIMITLESS. But this movie is about the overuse of a certain drug wherein it will make you super genius. But I just want to say that even though we don't intake such drug I know that we can overpass everything in our life if we put our heart and trust to God. Remember that without God we are NOTHING.
Faith Quotes for Christians
I hope these faith quotes for Christians will strengthen and uplift you. That they will give you courage and give you hope.
We walk in faith each day, believing that God will guide and protect us...that there is something greater awaiting us.
Our faith gives us the fuel and the passion to push toward our God-given purpose each day - for His glory. These faith quotations can support and motivate you in the good times and the bad.
"For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:16-17
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Hebrews 11:3
"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Hebrews 11:7
"We cannot ask in behalf of Christ what Christ would not ask Himself if He were praying." ~ A. B. Simpson
"Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused." ~ Charles Spurgeon
Consider These Faith Quotes And Pass Them On!
"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." Jeremiah 17:7
"In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't." ~ Blaise Pascal
"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe." ~ Voltaire
"I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker." ~ Voltaire
Have a blessed week for everyone. May everyday serves as a blessing for all of us.

REVIVING SPIRITS
There are moments in ones life that we will be in the downside story of our lives. Seemed like the road of success made a detour and then in just a split seconds it seemed like everything was gone. It's truly inspiring to know that there are certain people that has strong determination in life whatever aspect in my it may be. If you are really determined to do or achieve something, and in the course of doing that you have experienced difficulty or problem, it will never be a hindrance for you. Just be firm with your determination in life and focus on your goal. Nothing is impossible to a person with strong determination in life - neither disability nor sickness can never be a hindrance.
Remember failure will only took place if the person gives up. As long as there is still a will to go on and continue, success awaits you. Lesson is that never give up, never loose hope and faith. Hold on to that determination inside you and never let negative feedback affects your life. Don't let it eat you whole.:)
DETERMINATON
In 1883, a creative engineer named John Roebling was inspired by an idea to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with the Long Island. However bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was an impossible feat and told Roebling to forget the idea. It just could not be done. It was not practical. It had never been done before.
Roebling could not ignore the vision he had in his mind of this bridge. He thought about it all the time and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. He just had to share the dream with someone else. After much discussion and persuasion he managed to convince his son Washington, an up and coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.
Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. With great excitement and inspiration, and the headiness of a wild challenge before them, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was injured and left with a certain amount of brain damage, which resulted in him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
"We told them so."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."
"Crazy men and their crazy dreams."
"It`s foolish to chase wild visions."
Everyone had a negative comment to make and felt that the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington was never discouraged and still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.
He tried to inspire and pass on his enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay on his bed in his hospital room, with the sunlight streaming through the windows, a gentle breeze blew the flimsy white curtains apart and he was able to see the sky and the tops of the trees outside for just a moment.
It seemed that there was a message for him not to give up. Suddenly an idea hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this, he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife.
He touched his wife's arm with that finger, indicating to her that he wanted her to call the engineers again. Then he used the same method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish but the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed. Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's indomitable spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances. It is also a tribute to the engineers and their team work, and to their faith in a man who was considered mad by half the world. It stands too as a tangible monument to the love and devotion of his wife who for 13 long years patiently decoded the messages of her husband and told the engineers what to do.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die attitude that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and achieves an impossible goal.
Often when we face obstacles in our day-to-day life, our hurdles seem very small in comparison to what many others have to face. TheBrooklyn Bridge shows us that dreams that seem impossible can be realised with determination and persistence, no matter what the odds are.
Even the most distant dream can be realized with determination and persistence.

Touching life story.....
A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For
many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's
showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told
him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited
signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the
morning of his graduation his father called him into his private
study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine
son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son
a beautiful wrapped gift box.
Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man
opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible. Angrily,
he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you
give me a Bible?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the holy
book.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in
business.
He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his
father was very old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He
had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make
arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had
passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He
needed to come home immediately and take care things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and
regret filled his heart.
He began to search his father's important papers and
saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With
tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he
read those words, a car key dropped from an envelope
taped behind the Bible.
It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the
sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation,
and the words...PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not
packaged as we expected?

SOMETHING DIFFERENT (Matt Wertz - 5:19)
Guys, since I'm in a good mood now, I wanna share you a song that sticks to my heart since I discovered it on youtube, I think three or four years ago. It's a cool song by Matt Wertz. Maybe to some of you, you're familiar with it but anyway I just want to share..Enjoy..:D
July came, I thought I had it all together
Until you said
"I need some space"
Truth be told
It's so hard to wait
One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19....
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go.
We both know that I could think myself dizzy
Right now I'm spinning around
You said, "baby, don't worry"
But I just miss you right now
I said, I miss you right now
One eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19....
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go.
Baby, take all the time you need
I just want you to know
I'll be here, waiting
With one eye on the clock
And one on the phone
It's 5:19....
I'm feeling alone
If I could talk to you
I'd want you to know
I'm holding loose
But ain't letting go.
(x2)
Ooooo....
Ain't letting go
And guys funny but she (Megan Lee) sounds like Justin Beiber in this song..:D

HAPPINESS
"Happiness is the only thing on earth that cannot be paid by any diamonds, gold or money."
True. Happiness is something that can't be replaced by any expensive stone or material in this world. It's something that is so precious, more precious than diamonds or golds.. But why is that, sometimes being happy is so hard. Piles of problems would eat us whole and we forgot the essence of being happy. We have been overwhelmed with frustrations, sadness and until to a point of giving up. Little that we know that we are overtaken with evil - pessimistic, frustrated, sad and hopeless. We oftentimes forget to hold on still to the One who's giving us all the strength and hope in life. The One whom we can find happiness in His presence.
In this world, there's a lot of things that could make us happy may it be material things or person. But happiness will start from us- within us and of course together with the peace that's coming from the presence of God in your life. As I continue to live my life, I want it to become meaningful and full of thanks and praises to the Creator of all things that makes me happy. I won't waste my time and life being in a situation wherein all I feel is sadness. We are not born in this world to be and to feel that way. We are created by God to experience His wonderful blessings that are overflowing. For example in this Bible verse:
First, Psalms 23 is written to those who are sheep of God. He is their shepherd.
The relationship between Shepherd and Sheep is very close. The Sheep are dependent on the Shepherd not only for protection, but also for direction. The Sheep will stay in the same location or place until the Shepherd moves them. They won’t wander. Even when the grass is all eaten, instead of moving, they will stay in the same place and starve before seeking new pastures.
What does that mean for us?
The Lord orders our steps. He determines where we are and we will remain there until he leads us to an new place.
No dried up place for God’s sheep.
Even when we are confused or puzzled or without understanding, God will take us to “Green Pastures” and make us to lay down. And we will go because we are his sheep and we hear his voice (John 10:27)
He also will lead us besides the “Still Waters”.
God wants us to find a peaceful place in him. A place where we can become restful, not restless. Yes sir, The Shepherd, wants us to be surrounded with Prosperity. With Plenty of Green Pastures and Still Waters.
Our soul represents our mind, our feelings, our intellect. God’s people don’t think like unbelievers. Yep, we are a different lot. Remember, we must trust him for all our decisions. We must hear his voice and not follow another. God has restored our soul. He has changed our minds.
God will lead us in the path of righteousoness because he has a promise to keep. Promises he made to Abraham and all his heirs. By faith in Jesus, those promises are ours as well. And God keeps his promises. His name (reputation) is on the line. That why he can’t let his sheep fall.
Even in the midst of those who mean us harm, we can be comfortable and assured that God is with us.. God has promised us favor from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet.. The Blessings of the Lord will overflow.
http://bibleprosperityscriptures.com
So there's no reason for us to feel sad. Maybe we may experienced it but let us not dwell on it, instead let us face it. As I was starting to begin this post, I felt sad and weary at that time. But then as I remember some promises of God and as I remember some songs that could lighten up what I feel right now, my mood changed and I'm glad. To all those who feel weary, sad, tired, gloomy or whatever you call it may your mood be changed as you read and listen. May your sadness turn into happiness. Don't forget to smile. Smiling can lighten up the burden that you feel in your heart. :D
Happy morning everyone..:)

The relationship between Shepherd and Sheep is very close. The Sheep are dependent on the Shepherd not only for protection, but also for direction. The Sheep will stay in the same location or place until the Shepherd moves them. They won’t wander.

What does that mean for us?
The Lord orders our steps. He determines where we are and we will remain there until he leads us to an new place.
Green Pastures and Still Waters
Because we trust and obey, we shall not want. He has promised to supply all of our wants. (see Phillipians 4:19) The Lord even makes me (us) to “lay down in green pastures”.No dried up place for God’s sheep.
Even when we are confused or puzzled or without understanding, God will take us to “Green Pastures” and make us to lay down. And we will go because we are his sheep and we hear his voice (John 10:27)
He also will lead us besides the “Still Waters”.
God wants us to find a peaceful place in him. A place where we can become restful, not restless. Yes sir, The Shepherd, wants us to be surrounded with Prosperity. With Plenty of Green Pastures and Still Waters.
A Restored Soul
“He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake “Our soul represents our mind, our feelings, our intellect. God’s people don’t think like unbelievers. Yep, we are a different lot. Remember, we must trust him for all our decisions. We must hear his voice and not follow another. God has restored our soul. He has changed our minds.
God will lead us in the path of righteousoness because he has a promise to keep. Promises he made to Abraham and all his heirs. By faith in Jesus, those promises are ours as well. And God keeps his promises. His name (reputation) is on the line. That why he can’t let his sheep fall.
We Will Fear No Evil
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.“ We will not be afraid, because he has promised to never leave or forsake us. (Hebrews 13:5)
Our Cup Runneth Over
“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.”Even in the midst of those who mean us harm, we can be comfortable and assured that God is with us.. God has promised us favor from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet.. The Blessings of the Lord will overflow.
A Believer’s Assurance of Prosperity
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.” We are confident that God’s promises of goodness and mercy will remain with us all the days of our lives. Therefore we know that we will dwell with him forever.
So there's no reason for us to feel sad. Maybe we may experienced it but let us not dwell on it, instead let us face it. As I was starting to begin this post, I felt sad and weary at that time. But then as I remember some promises of God and as I remember some songs that could lighten up what I feel right now, my mood changed and I'm glad. To all those who feel weary, sad, tired, gloomy or whatever you call it may your mood be changed as you read and listen. May your sadness turn into happiness. Don't forget to smile. Smiling can lighten up the burden that you feel in your heart. :D
Happy morning everyone..:)

Faith+Hope+Love
Starting the day filled with Faith to the One who gave us the breath of life. Never giving up in the midst of all the circumstances, struggles and problems that comes our way. Always holding on to the words that He has promised to us. Always be positive. Having our Hope strong that no matter what happened He will always be there for us. It is said in His promise in:
But most of all let us not forget to Love one another which is this is the great commandment of God. To love one another. And this is first demonstrated by God in:
And here are songs that leaves a mark on my heart and life..:D
Enhoy..:D
And most of all here is something to enlighten us knowing that we have a Jehovah-jireh, our Lord of provider of everything..
JEHOVAH-JIREH
je-ho'-va-ji'-re (yahweh yir'-eh, "Yahweh sees"): The name given by Abraham to the place where he had sacrificed a ram provided by God, instead of his son Isaac (Gen 22:14). The meaning plainly is that the Lord sees and provides for the necessities of His servants. There is an allusion to Gen 22:8 where Abraham says, "God will provide himself (the Revised Version, margin "will see for himself") the lamb for a burnt offering." The verse (22:14 the King James Version) goes on to connect the incident with the popular proverb, "In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen" (the Revised Version (British and American) "provided"), the Revised Version margin suggests "he shall be seen." "The mount of Yahweh" in other places denotes the temple hill at Jerusalem (Ps 24:3; Isa 2:3, etc.). With changes of the punctuation very different readings have been suggested. According to Swete's text: "And Abraham called the name of that place (the) `Lord saw' (aorist) in order that they may say today: `In the mountain (the) Lord was seen'" (aorist). Septuagint reads, "In the mountain Yahweh seeth," or "will see." If there is merely a verbal connection between the clauses we should most naturally read, "In the mount of Yahweh one is seen (appears)," i.e. men, people, appear--the reference being to the custom of visiting the temple at pilgrimages (Driver, HDB, under the word). But if the connection of the proverb with the name "Yahweh-jireh" depends on the double sense of the word "see," then the best explanation may be, Yahweh sees the needs of those who come to worship before Him on Zion, and there "is seen," i.e. reveals Himself to them by answering their prayers and supplying their wants. His "seeing," in other words, takes practical effect in a "being seen" (ibid.).

Hebrews 13:5 5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,
“Never will I leave you;
never will I forsake you.”[a
never will I forsake you.”[a
But most of all let us not forget to Love one another which is this is the great commandment of God. To love one another. And this is first demonstrated by God in:
John 3:16 ESV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
