Pure heart is beauty

I know yesterday I was asking for eye cream, today me and my friend who is getting married next year are talking about acne scar removal cream and about diamond peel. We agreed we will both have facial next month (we need to save first). She got a leaflet from our nearby shop and we concluded it's the cheapest one around this area.

But guess what, beauty is deep, it is more than what the eyes can see. It is something you hold in your heart and no one can take it away from you. Old age, diseases can make you ugly physically but if you have a good and pure heart, you are still beautiful.

Be joyful, be pure in heart, be thankful and you'll be pretty forever!!!

Sleeping late = eye bugs

Who wants to give me the best eye wrinkle cream they have? I need it so badly :) Would you mind if I share please?

I've been sleeping so late lately..and when I say late , it means really late, like today I haven't slept yet and it's already 4:51 AM. Besides of the wrinkle in my eyes I also have this big black around it. Imagine how I look like now. A zombie? I guess so.

I joined the youth's prayer vigil last night so that explains why am Is till awake at this very hour. SO the sleeplessness is worth it.

I hope to get back to normal sleeping habit next week.

Special Children

This morning, I joined our team in our ministry at the SPED (School for Special Children). It was my first time. We have been ministering to the parents of these children for almost a month now. A father stood up this morning and said he prayed for the first time for his child with MR (mentally retarded) during last week’s bible study. He shared how he felt about his faith when he heard about the story of the blind Bartimaeus

Testimonies like this keep us going, it warms our heart for we know that a seed of faith is being planted to these people everytime we go and visit them. You can very well see in their eyes, they need help and they need God.

For a while I was surrounded with special children, some with ADHD, MR, and Down Syndrome. People tend to look at them differently because we only see with our eyes, but I am sure God looks at them the same way he looks at everyone. God’s eyes surpasses beneath the physical and outward appearance.

If you think you are too short, (and you need hgh supplement) or you are too big, maybe you look differently from what the society calls normal always remember that God loves you and that each individual is special to HIM.

Therefore I am also one of God’s special children. Right?

Thankful Thursday

It's Thankful Thursday and yes I am early for the post today :) It is only 1:57 AM Thursday here. here's my thankful list for this week :)

1. I am thankful for the husband's birthday last Tuesday. We celebrated 29 years of God's goodness in his life. I am thankful that I've got to spend the whole day with him, we watch a movie then had dinner at Shakey's :) Just the two of us. I am so thankful for my God's best.

 (goofing around on his b-day)

2. Our friends/housemate (Carmel & Andrew) are leaving this morning for Canada and we are praising God with them for all the provisions, for the visa, for the tickets and for everything that God has bestowed to them. We indeed serve a faithful God!

3. I am thanking God that He keeps on inspiring us, to dream new dreams and to reach for it. You know when you hear good stories that inspires you, you're motivated and encouraged. Like when I hear good weight-loss stories, faith challenging stories, it refuels your drive.

4. Life may not always be good but I am super thankful that God is always good.He never change.

Iris of Grace Alone is hosting this month, head on to her site and visit more thankful posts.

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!!
