I can’t believe it’s been over a week since I last posted here. There’s just so many things happening in my life right now and sometimes I feel like I am lost. I feel like I’m chasing something and I don’t even know what it is.
It’s exhausting and I just need to have a break and have a grip of my thoughts. I’ll get back to you as soon as I feel much better.
The Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about this…..
Very interesting, a very good read…
It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7):
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man sow,
that shall he also reap.”
Here are some men and women who mocked God :
John Lennon (Singer):
Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said:
“Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that. I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him” (1966).
Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ):
During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would remove him from Presidency.
Sure he got the votes, but he got sick a day before being made President, then he died.
Cazuza (Bi-sexual Brazilian composer, singer and poet):
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),
while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:”God, that’s for you.”
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
“Not even God can sink it”
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
“I don’t need your Jesus”..
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment
Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
“Don’t stop me; I’m going down all the way, down the highway to hell”.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend…..
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
“My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.”
She responded: “Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here…..It’ s Already Full ”
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died,
the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken
Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rose again, and he is still alive.
I was struggling to find a suitable photo in this week’s theme. I’m not really a funny person and I can’t find any unique signs so I have to settle with this sticker that’s been in my room door that my brother got me for my 30th birthday last year. My brother just wants to make fun out of my misery *LOL*
A tag from Liza, it’s interesting to find out that this is actually true for me…

 You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don’t have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you’ll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don’t always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don’t have as much going for them as you do. |
“By faith Abraham… obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.” Hebrews 11:8
I remembered the last time I was in Baguio, deluxe trips are usually available during midnight and we prefer to travel without the stop-overs. Night trips were risky, I remembered being in front of the bus just at the back of the bus driver, it was too cold and I’m tired. I’m sleepy too, but I can’t bring myself to sleep for I fear what lies ahead the curvy roads. As darkness enfolds, I can see the fog envelop the road that winds up the mountains. I’m scared and I keep on humming a praise song in my head just to keep me calm but then I remembered praying for a safe trip just before I entered the bus, I felt ashamed. How can I let my faith just slip away? How can I doubt God’s power to bring us home safely? It was at this point that I closed my eyes and fell sound asleep.
Life is a journey that involves risks. There are certain crossroads and crucial turns when we find our faith tested. We tend to ask God what lies ahead and it’s alright to be terrified sometimes but we must always remember the moment we entrust our God our life, we give Him the power over us and He is now leading the way towards a path that He designed for us. Yes, life can be foggy sometimes and there are dark roads ahead but surely God’s light is more than enough to guide our path.
Abraham had the courage to follow God even though He didn’t know where to go. He obeyed, no questions asked. He left and stepped out of faith, he let himself be guided by the unseen God. As we journey through life everyday, we should always have confidence that God knows the road ahead regardless of life’s seeming uncertainties. Live by faith.
Here’s my take for this week. This is a sand castle from Boracay Island Philippines. The locals, mostly children make this castle every weekend with their bare hands. It’s astonishing to watch how the fine white sand of the island paradise transforms in a work of art in just a matter of minutes. It’s popular among tourist and you can take a snapshot of it with just a donation.
