Eating and Diet Pills

I’ve been eating a lot since last week, you can actually see of the food I’ve been having in my gods’ best gift blog. And tonight, we will be heading out again to this nice but cheap Thai restaurant with our friends. I love being with friends but I don’t love the expenses. lol although I know it’s worth it.

So it won’t be a surprise if hubby sees me reviewing the top ten diet pills that work fast over the internet. I’ve taken a few brands when I was still single but I stopped long time ago. And because I was diagnosed of PCOS it’s been quite hard to lose weight. Of course proper diet and exercise is still the best option.

Christmas is coming

It’s mid- September already and I know there are people who are already buying Christmas gifts to avoid the Christmas Rush in December. I wish to do the same but not this early though, I’ll probably start October. I have more nephews than nieces so checking the cars and power wheels toys is a must for me. For the girls, dolls and cooking set toys are the favorites.

The only thing I hate during Christmas season is the traffic. It is at it worse on that month.

But nonetheless, I am excited for Christmas.

Your first Love

by : Taffi L. Dollar (from Make your day count)

Revelation 2:4 (Amplified Bible)

But I have this [one charge to make] against you: that you have left (abandoned) the love that you had at first [you have deserted Me, your first love].

*~*

Do you remember how you felt when you first became born again and were so in love with Jesus that you had to tell everyone? Most likely, however as time went on, the cares of this world began to wear you down and your joy began to diminish. Rather than asking God for help, you tried to do everything in your own strength. Eventually, you felt too overwhelmed to read the bible, go to church or pray.

That’s how separation from God begins. All the devil needs is the slightest crack in your foundation to get a foothold, which unchecked becomes a stronghold; and your spiritual life, health, finances, and relationships begin to suffer. This is the beginning of the end that Satan has planned for you. (John 10.10)

My husband, Creflo, says that whatever you give your attention to is what you will desire. Begin to read the Word every day,whether you feel like it or not; it strengthens your spirit. Go to church to get fed the Word at least twice a week. Rise earlier to spend time talking and listening to God.

Though at first you may not feel like doing these things your desire for the things of God will return and your love for Him will grow. Your heart will once again overflow with love for the Lord.

Have a nice week everyone!!

The Holy Alphabet

Got  this from my email  and I think it is is too nice not to share ;)


*~*

Although things are not perfect 
Because of trial or pain 
Continue in thanksgiving 
Do not begin to blame 
Even when the times are hard 
Fierce winds are bound to blow 
God is forever able 
Hold on to what you know 
Imagine life without His love 
J oy would cease to be 
Keep thanking Him for all the things 
Love imparts to thee 
Move out of "Camp Complaining" 
No weapon that is known 
On earth can yield the power 
Praise can do alone 
Quit looking at the future 
Redeem the time at hand 
Start every day with worship 
To "thank" is a command 
Until we see Him coming 
Victorious in the sky 
We'll run the race with gratitude 
X alting God most high 
Y es, there'll be good times and yes some will be bad, but... 
Z ion waits in glory...where none are ever sad!

Further Studies

A friend is seriously considering taking up Masters Degree abroad, she already left her job to pursue it. I hope she’ll discover Knewton’s gmat prep courses because I think it would be a big help for her. I have read many good testimonials about them, people getting good results in the examination. If I am a business graduate too and I want to pursue graduate studies, I’ll probably enroll my self with the same.

Although I also want to study but I might take Counseling or other course that I might use in the ministry and mission fields someday.

Girls Talk

Time flies when you're having fun!. It is so true :)

I just had the longest girls talk from my friends in church and we didn't even notice that it's already 4:00 in the morning. And I know I should be sleeping now but pity me, my eyes and mind are still both awake so here am I, still in front of the PC.

Isn’t it amazing how us women can talk about everything? Well, we didn’t only talk about hcg Austin or losing weight but we talked about more serious stuff like past heart aches, men cheating their partners, homosexuality and some Christian issues.

Well, I enjoyed it. I hope they did too!!

Thankful Thursday

I know we will never run out of things to be grateful for if we will only count our blessings.

Last Saturday was my youngest nephew's 1st birthday celebration and I want to thank God for giving him to our family. He is such a cute  and indeed a source of joy. We are thankful that he is healthy and that he can now walk on his own!!

It's my hubby's birthday next week!- and I can't tell how much grateful I am for my husband even if it is not his birthday.I can not imagine my life without him. I'll post more about him next week :)

Thanking God for his GRACE- as Iris have shared on her blog today. GRACE is unmerited favor from the Lord and who couldn't be thankful?

Have a nice day everyone!

Our motorbike

Three years ago, God gave us this motorbike and we are forever grateful. It has been so useful for us especially for the ministry. Although a lot of people do not favor motorbikes on the road because of the high statistics of road accident, we are even more grateful that for three long years God has always protected us. We never forget to say a prayer once we’re seated on the bike. And one thing more, maintenance is not as high as those of cars and SUV’s. We do not need air filters or grilles, the only major problem we encountered are the tires but thank God again we bought new ones and replaced it two months ago.

Now that it has turned 3 years old, I just hope it won’t give us headaches and will still be good to us like before. We still need him everyday. And if ever God give us a car (we’re praying for that also) we would still be using him from time to time. I think I am already used to not being caught in a traffic jam.

It’s been 3 fruitful years for us and our motorbike, we've survived a lot of  tough times like this 

 (ours was the small one)

but we are still looking forward to many good times with him.

Health workers

medical and healthcare jobs are so in demand now in abroad. Some even say that the best nurses and doctors of our country are working overseas because of course higher pay and better benefits.

But I commend those who still chose to work and serve here despite of not getting enough salaries. I am humbled by Doctors for the Barrios. They are the doctors and health workers that volunteers to serve in far flung places of the Philippines, most of those places do not even have electricity. Sometimes they even have to walk hundred miles to visit the people.

I hope there will be more of them here. Just this year, a documentary was shown exposing mountain people that do not have an access to hospital and medicines. For them to get medical treatment, they have to go down by foot and carry the sick in a hammock for at least 3 to 5 hours.

We need doctors here. We need nurses. We need health workers. But we need those who have the heart to serve.

Our ministry is conducting health teachings and small medical mission in some depressed areas in the metropolis. If you want to volunteer just let us know.

Multi-tasking..bad or good?

I know most of us specially women multitasks, as much as possible we do not want to waste precious time so we end up doing/ juggling a lot with our two hands. In my case one mind. You see. I'm reading about this marketing materials called point of purchase displays while listening to music and at the same time taking all the lyrics of the songs in my heart ( just like "You are amazing God" that is playing now) and not only that I am also playing bejewelled on another tab. From time to time, I also peek on facebook to check if I have notifications. I know I multitask a lot and I admit sometimes it is not good. As I have said, I only have one mind and well two hands. But I just want to maximized the use of my PC and my time while I'm sitting in front of it. Is that bad? What do you think?

How about you? How far do you multitask? Do you cook while doing laundry? Do you watch TV while cleaning the house?
