What YOUR SOUL SAY?

Your Soul is Communicative

You are quite expressive and thoughtful. You see the world in a way that others are blind to. You are not a very grounded person. You prefer dreams to reality. For you, it's all about possibilities. You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself. Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing. For you, falling in love is all about the adventure and uncertainty. You can only fall in love with someone who keeps you guessing.

WEDNESDAY WORDS OF JOY

I just finished sharing my wednesday word of strength and its wednesday once again, Today I will start sharing with you a new series of WEDNESDAY WORD OF JOY..

Have you noticed that when you take time to consider the Lord's mercy and greatness, fear and hopelessness fade away? When we are in His presence. He changes our weakness to strength and our doubts to faith. He is the Great Shepherd who loves His sheep. The Bible tells us that God waits for us to come to HIM. He is a loving Father, always ready to comfort, receive and forgive His children. His desire is for his children to live lives of abundance, purpose and gladness. It's all available for us-we just need to go to HIM. Spend time in the presence of your Lord. Meditate on His great love for you. Ask him to speak to your heart through these verses. Claim the promises of God for your life. Speak them out and declare them over your circumtances. Exercise faith as you pray-then thank the LORD as you begin to see joy and strength grow in your LIFE.

---The Joy of the LORD is your strength---

Nehemiah 8:10, NKV

Blessed sunday to everyone

THE CHURCH

There are beautiful buildings and cathedrals, humble adobe missions and huts that have on them the name "Church." They have steeples and crosses, bells and towers that have their own way of announcing to passers-by, "This is a church." These man-made structures are churches in one sense of the word, but the church spoken of in the New Testament is something more. The church in its larger sense is made up of all believers. It is called the Body of Christ. God dwells among these believers by His Spirit. We have studied about the Holy Spirit and some of His function, but one of the functions we did not mention is that He unites the church. Ephesians 4:3 says. "Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together." In this lesson we will study what the church is, what it should be doing, and what is going to happen to it. Again, it is the Bible that will give us the right answers.

ITS NAME

When you hear the words body, building, bride, family, do they suggest something in common? All relate to people and in biblical language these words refer to a specific group of people--those who make up God's family. The church is compared to a body of which Christ is the head. Colossians 1:18 says, "He is the head of his body, the church: he is the source of the body's life." " God put all things under Christ's feet and gave him to the church as supreme Lord over all things. The church is Christ's body, the completion of him who himself completes all things everywhere" (Ephesians 1:22-23). "All of you are Christ's body, and each one a part of it" (1Corinthians 12:27). The Bible also likens the church to a building, a temple dedicated to the Lord. "You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus himself. He is the one who holds the whole building together and makes it grow into a sacred temple dedicated to the Lord. In union with him you too are being built together with all the others into a place where God lives through His Spirit" (Ephesians 2:20-22). Another name given to the church is the bride of Christ. The Bible calls Jesus the Lamb and states that the church is the bride that will be married to Him. Revelation 21:9 says, "Come, and I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb." "For the time has come for the wedding of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself for it" (Revelation 19:7). Christ is compared to the husband and the church to the wife in Ephesians 5:25. "Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it." As you read the Bible you will find other comparisons. The important thing to remember is that the church is made up of all those who are truly born-again followers of Christ. It's a growing group, "praising God, and enjoying the good will of all the people. And every day the Lord added to their group those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).

VERSE OF THE WEEK

You, too, are built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, the cornerstone being Christ Jesus himself. He is the one who holds the whole building together and makes it grow into a sacred temple dedicated to the Lord. In union with him you too are being built together with all the others into a place where God lives through His Spirit. - Ephesians 2:20-22

WEDNESDAY WORDS OF STRENGTH

It is wednesday once again and I am sharing with you some phrase that give me strength in my everyday lives.

This will be the last series and Next wednesday I will start my WEDNESDAY WORDS OF JOY..Hope you will join me.

The Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says, "Only in returning to Me and waiting for Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength."

Isaiah 30:15,NLT

..Be strong with the Lord's mighty power. Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies and tricks of the Devil.

Ephesians 6:10-11, NLT

DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE

I was struggling to be stronger to all the trials that I am dealing this time,, and there is one thing I had ...MY FAITH..that God will never forsake me. I am member of CBN-700 Club and I want to share with you the teaching that they just sent me after I call them for prayers...

What does the BIBLE say about Divorce and Remarriage?

The Bible is explicit about divorce and marriage. In the Old Testament, Moses premitted a man to obtain a divorce on just about any grounds. "If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, and if she leaves his house she becomes the wife of other man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of divorce, give it her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then the first husband, who divorce her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the Lord. Do not bring sin upon the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance"(Deuteronomy 24:1-4).

Later on

In the New Testament, when Jesus was asked about divorce, he replied that Moses gave permission to divorce because of the hardness of their hearts. He said that in the beginning it was not this way. Jesus continued, "Haven't you read that at the beggining the Creator made them "male and female" and said..For this reason a MAN WILL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE UNITED TO HIS WIFE, and the TWO WILL BECOME ONE FLESH. so they are no longer two but one. Therefore what "GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET MAN NOT SEPARATE"(Matthew 19:4-6) Before God, marriage is a lifetime relationship that should never be severed by human action. In the book of MALACHI, God says that he hates DIVORCE "(Malachi 2:16). God's perfect will is to the preservation of society and future generation by the preservation of marriages. god will give anyone grea help in sustaining a marriage relationship or in the reconciliation of estranged marriage partners. In extreme cases there are only TWO GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE. WHEN ADULTERY HAS TAKEN PLACE, a divorce can be obtained., because adultery has already severed marriage relationship and divorce is formal acknowledgement of what has already taken place. SECOND, when a husband is so brutalizes his wife that it is imposible to live with him any longer.; or when a wife has so harrased, or brutalized her husband that it becomes imposible for him to stay with her. When this things happen Divorce are permitted. Except for this reason, there is no justification given in the Bible for DIVORCE. No ground exist for divorce on the basis of incompatibility, lack of love, or differing career goals. Frankly, it seems imposbile that two born-again christian who are dedicated to serving JESUS CHRIST can find any grounds for divorce. Oviously, when a person who does not have biblical grounds for divorce, remarries, he or she is technically committing adultery.

EXPERIENCE THE SUMMER SPECTACULAR IN BRANSON

My husband and I are planning to have our summer vacation. He told me that Branson Missouri is a one of the best places for a summer getaway. I was browsing on line and found two great places to stay in Branson. The Hilton Branson Convention Hotel, and Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. We choose the Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing because of their great Escape Packages. Branson has ongoing events for everyone’s entertainment this summer like the exciting Father’s Day Salute, National Kid’s Fest at Silver Dollar City, the 10th Annual Clown Jam, live entertainment, theaters and much more. Both hotels are situated within the electrifying entertainment capital of the Midwest, in Branson Missouri. The Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing and Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel offer guests access to shops, boutiques, restaurants, a river walk and other attractions. And for sure my husband will enjoy all the amenities especially the live entertainment. Some of the best attractions in this place are the golf courses, lakes, and parks which are easily accessible, and a short driving distance from the hotel. Branson has so much to offer their guests, including great golf packages. For sure my husband will really enjoy this because he always loves to play golf. So folks if you want a complete summer escape, book now for Hilton Promenade at Branson Missouri. See you there.

MYLIFESTORY PART XI

My first week in school is over. I adjust myself with all my teacher in different subjects and also to some of my classmates. Some boys always laugh at me every time I participate in recitation because of my accent. But after that week they are very nice to me already especially all those (bopol) or no brain, LOL they always want to sit beside me because they want to copy my exam papers. One time I share my answer to one of my classmate and our teacher caught us and she remind me that don’t tolerate some of my classmates, don’t be afraid of them and I asked an apology from my teacher for what happened. In the middle of the school year, I feel very confident already, I am one of the teacher’s pet (LOL) with my best friend M. We always together specially during exams. Before the class begun we always stay in a tree house in our school, reviewing all our notes for the exams and we never had envy to each other. Even some classmates told my best friend that I am a threat to her to become the first honor or valedictorian. My best friend is so humble and very understanding. Every Sunday we go to church together as what my cousin told us, we almost like gum that can’t be separated. We become the talk of our class because in every test or exam we had, we always in top if not we always have the perfect score. I enjoyed already with my school, all teacher are very supportive and the most important is I gave credit to my cousin who is supporting me on my school expenses. We joined all the extracurricular in school, like sports and even joining some declamation contest like what I am doing in the province.. At the end of the school year they announce the top 5 of the class and unfortunately I am in second place. And for sure on graduation I will be the valedictorian or salutatorian , as I promised my cousin to study hard.

MAKE YOUR LIFE EASY WITH I-VILLAGE

I love to eat, but I hate to cook! Isn't that funny? Yes … I hate cooking. I remember back when my husband first visited the Philippines, I hired my older sister to cook for him three times a day. When I came here I tried my best to prepare food for us. Now that we have been here in the US for a while, I see all household chores here are done by ourselves. Aside from the different cook book recipes, I always browse on line to find some new cooking tips. Once while I was browsing the net, I discovered this one site which features cooking styles, tips, and various simple recipes that are being discussed by Top Chef Contestant, and working mother (Ariane Duarte). You will find on her video how easy and affordable it is to prepare food, and feed a family of four. There are several inexpensive recipes for steak dinners as well as one for ice cream. When it comes to steak dinner,.. Oh!.. for sure my husband will really love it! He often requests me to make his favorite dinner, but I’m always worried because I’m not sure if I can make it come out to be delicious. However, after I saw this video, for sure I will be much more confident to offer him my steak dinner. It’s looks absolutely delicious. So, calling all mothers and wives like me!, visit their site You Can See More Life Made Easy Videos Here and you will become a good chef in your own home sweet home.

THE WORK OF HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit plays an essential part in our salvation. He shows us how wrong our sins are and helps us accept Jesus as our Savior. He changes our lives. "And when he comes [the Holy Spirit], he will prove to the people of the world that they are wrong about sin and about what is right and about God's judgment"(John 16:8). "'I am telling you the truth,' replied Jesus, 'that no one can enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. A person is born physically of human parents, but he is born spiritually of the Spirit'" (John 3:5-6). The Holy Spirit dwells in every believer. He enters the heart when conversion takes place. "To show you that you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out, 'Father, my Father'" (Galatians 4:6). Romans 8:9 says further, "Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him." If we belong to the family of God, His Spirit dwells within us. "For the Spirit that God has given you does not make you slaves and cause you to be afraid; instead, the Spirit makes you God's children, and by the Spirit's power we cry out to God, 'Father! my Father!'" (Romans 8:15-16). We have talked about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and we may also have the infilling of the Holy Spirit which occurs after conversion. It is sometimes called the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Not every believer is baptized in the Holy Spirit, but it is an experience God wants all His children to have. "He [Jesus] has been raised to the right side of God, his Father, and has received from him the Holy Spirit, as he had promised. What you now see and hear is his gift that he has poured out on us" (Acts 2:33). "Peter said unto them, 'Each one of you must turn away from his sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit'" (Acts 2:38). "The Holy Spirit is our Comforter, our Helper. He teaches, gives us love and fellowship, and guides us into truth. He has fruit for us, like joy, peace, patience, humility and self-control (Galatians 5:22) and spiritual gifts with which to minister unto the Lord and to our fellow man" (I Corinthians 12:4-7).

VERSE OF THE WEEK

Peter said unto them, "Each one of you must turn away from his sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, so that your sins will be forgiven; and you will receive God's gift, the Holy Spirit".

- 1 Acts 2:38

PARTY,PARTY...

First, I would like to thanks my friend Joy who invited me to this party. This is my first time to attend a Fil-Am party and its fun. Of course the main event of the party is eating time. Wow… We enjoyed all Filipino foods especially buko salad. Aside from foods we had so much fun singing and some games. But unfortunately we lost the game. After that we go shopping and I bought new shoes. I enjoyed the day and from party my husband pick me up from my friends house. He just came from fishing with big fish so we had a delicious fried fish dinner.

WEDNESDAY WORDS OF STRENGTH

It is wednesday once again and I am sharing with you some phrase that give me strength in my everyday lives. LORD I bent my loads to you..

And God, in HIS mighty power, will protect you until you receive this salvation, because you are trusting HIM. It will be revealed on the last day for all to see. So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though it is necessary for you to endure many trials for a while. These trials are only to test your faith, to show that it is strong and pure. It is being tested as fire test and purifies gold-and your faith is far more precious to GOD than mere gold. So if your faith remains strong after being tried by fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when JESUS CHRIST is revealed to the whole WORLD.

1 Peter 1:5-7(NLT)

THE HOLY SPIRIT

The disciples knew that Jesus was going away. He had told them so. At first it didn't sound like good news and their hearts were troubled. They loved Jesus; they had walked three years with Jesus. How could they live without Him? Jesus read their hearts, and He assured them that it was best for them that He return to His Father in heaven. His Father would send the Holy Spirit (part of the Trinity), and they would never be left alone. God's Spirit wouldn't be felt in just one country, or minister to just one race of people--but over the whole earth. On the Day of Pentecost Peter spoke to the crowd representing at least 15 different language groups. Acts 2:16-17 tells us what he said: "This is what the prophet Joel spoke about: This is what I will do in the last days. God says: I will pour out my Spirit on everyone." In Section 1 we studied about salvation. Did you know that we are brought to salvation through the work of the Holy Spirit? Let's study about the Holy Spirit and His work in us.

THE PERSON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

The Holy Spirit is God. He is the third Person in the Godhead, called the Holy Trinity. Like the Father and the Son, He also has other names. Some are the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, the Comforter. Matthew 28:19 mentions all three Persons. "Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples: baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." The Holy Spirit is like God the Father. He is eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, and everywhere. He works together with the Father and the Son and was with them at Creation. Let's look at some verses that tell us about the Holy Spirit. "Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself as a perfect sacrifice to God" (Hebrews 9:14). "The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes" (1 Corinthians 2:10). "God's spirit made me and gave me life" (Job 33:4). The Holy Spirit moved on prophets and priests in Old Testament times. He helped men and women to serve God. Of Joseph who was sold as a slave into Egypt it was said, "We will never find a better man than Joseph, a man who has God's spirit in him" (Genesis 41:38).

Verse of the Week

Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself as a perfect sacrifice to God.

- Hebrews 9:14 The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes.-

1 Corinthians 2:10 God's spirit made me and gave me life

- Job 33:4

I MISS MY MAHAL...

I am so excited when my husband called and told me that he is coming back tomorrow. He is away for two weeks visiting his mother in NYC. My mother in law was hospitalized for 2 days and thanks God she is feeling better now. For two weeks that my husband is not around I suffered a lot for sleepless night. I am not used to be away from my MAHAL. It is so hard for me not having good sleep because of my job. We worked night shift so when I got home early morning I feel so sad and empty when I arrived and no body home.

SCRUBMAG SITE REVIEW

I have been trying to find job for so long. I am getting desperate already to have one. I already taken many exams and interviews and they always say to wait for their call. I know that during the time that I was working in a personnel office, I would sometimes tell my applicants to just wait for the call, and sometimes it would never happen. In this time of recession, health care jobs are in demand, so I am planning to pursue my career in medical or healthcare fields particularly the nursing field. I wish, I took some short nursing course before I came here to the US. Anyway, I am here already, so what I need to do is to keep on looking for a job. One day while I was browsing online, I found this one great site called Scrubs. While checking out their site I found many interesting topics. I found various career advice and different nursing stories. Not only that, you can also get some beauty tips from experts. There are many inspiring stories that will boost your self-confidence and self-esteem. One of those stories that really inspired me is “The 60-Second Stress Buster” of Jeannie Keenan, RN. Finding her story now was good timing for me especially at this time because I am so stressed in all that is happening to me. I learned from her inspiring story, that Exercise is a great way to keep it all "in check." If your busy day forced you to miss your favorite physical activity, try this technique while lying in bed before you go to sleep: Take slow, deep breaths. Starting with your toes, consciously relax every toe, then your ankles, calves, etc., working your way all the way up to the top of your head. You'll find it easier to fall asleep and you'll get the benefits of taking those nice deep breaths. I am trying it and I feel better. I have peaceful, and stress less nights. If you want to get some tips and advice in different aspects of life, and read some inspiring stories, I encourage you to visit their official website. You will not regret it.

MYLIFESTORY PART IX

After I left my province I am so excited to see the city. We ride ship going to Batangas City and ride car to Calamba City and because I am a certified “promdi” (means from the province) I was so amazed with all the lights and all the cars on the road. After a day living with my cousin which I consider as my poster parents, I always cried every night. I missed my mother, my sisters and brothers. Another thing is I work more in the house doing some household chores which I never did in my province because my mother always do it. One time my cousin found that I am crying , she talked to me and ask me if I want to go back to province or to stay and continue studies. At first I don’t know what I want, I told her that I still don’t know. She told me that I have to find out to myself before the enrollment which is last week of May. So I had almost one week to make up my mind. And before the enrollment I told my cousin that I want to stay and pursue my studies. We go to shopping for my needs in school. We bought school uniforms, new shoes and socks, new bags and all school supplies. I am so happy because I never had all this in my province . My cousin accompanied me to the school during enrollment. She talk to the school adviser about my situation of being transferee. They check all my credentials and I was accepted. I am so excited to the first day of class.
