Xin Nian Kuai Le!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Changes

I stayed up late last night to watch President Barack Obama's inaugural speech. I didn't want to miss this event which is forever stamped in America's history as being the first black president of the United States of America.

I remebered the song by 2Pac - Changes, and part of it says, "And although it seems heaven sent, we ain't ready, to see a black President."

I knew this would happen without a shadow of a doubt. It's just a matter of time. And that time is NOW. The whole world witnessed this much awaited but also much skepticized occurence ever in the history of America.

This made me realize that everything in this world is subject to change. If your life right now is messed up, I have good news for you. That too is subject to change. And this also proves that when God says, "It's time," He means IT'S TIME.

God bless us all!

And The List Goes On

For 2009, I made a list of things I wanted to buy as well as a few items of must-do. The things I wanted to buy include a white notebook, an LCD, a shoe cabinet and a few more stuff that are important to me. On my must-do list, there's my prophylaxis, my annual check-up and the likes. On top of these, I also have my daily to-do list.

For some, this habit is rather peculiar, but not for me. I get a sense of satisfaction knowing that I've accomplished the things I needed to do for the day. It keeps me busy and it gives me peace that everything is in order. Don't get me wrong though, I do what I can the best way possible but leave those I don't have control over to God.

Tonight, I'll have a new set of to-do list for tomorrow. And with much delight, I'd be crossing out the things I listed down last night for what I needed to do today.

Let's see...

• Water the plants
• Quiet time
• Pay bills
• Prophylaxis
  

Thankful Thursday

I'd like to thank God for being my Provider, Rewarder, Great Physician, Friend, Father, Husband, Comforter, Shield, Savior, Source of Peace, Strength, Deliverer, Hope, Light, Life, Redeemer, Guide and Counselor.

I'd like to thank God for His Mercy, Patience, Wisdom, Provision, Goodness, Faithfulness, Favor, Sovereignty, Grace, Strength and Power.

I'd like to thank God for my Life, Husband, Marriage, Birth-family, Friends (here and abroad), Job, healing, Good health, Skin, Church, Money and Material Possessions.



I'd like to thank God in advance for everything that He's about to do in my life and marriage. I'm looking forward to seeing my breakthroughs and miracles overtake me. I'm looking forward to seeing all His promises come to pass before my very eyes.

Lord, thank you! ♥


For more Thankful Thursday, visit Iris over at Grace Alone. Have a happy weekend ahead y'all. God bless! =D

Happy New Year!!!

People say that 2009 is going to be worse than 2008. As believers we shouldn't put our hope and trust in what the statistics say or what the world say. We should put our trust in God Almighty who is our Provider, our Great Physician and our Rewarder.

In Jeremiah 29:11 it says, "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'" His word is true yesterday, today and tomorrow. Our God never changes. Let's focus on Him and we will never go wrong.

Here's wishing y'all...

A Prosperous, Joyous and Blessed New Year!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is jiaogulan? 
Jiaogulan is a member of same family as cucumbers, melons, and gourds. It grows in five-leaf clusters, hence its botanical name, Gynostemma pentaphyllum. Jiaogulan has a long history of use in China, but is just now gaining popularity worldwide because of new scientific research supporting a wide range of health benefits that may very well eclipse that of any plant yet discovered. In its native home in southern China, jiaogulan is so revered that it is called xiancao (“herb of immortality”). 

Jiaogulan’s broad spectrum of biological effects can be explained by its status as a potent adaptogen. This rare class of herbs has the ability to bring balance to the body under a wide range of stressful circumstances. Adaptogens also enhance the body’s ability to defend itself by improving immunity and increasing energy, stamina, and endurance. The chemical constituents responsible for the balancing effects of adaptogens are called saponins, and these exist in many forms. It is believed that the adaptogenic power of an herb is directly proportional to its content and variety of saponins. With 28 saponins, Panax ginseng is renowned as an adaptogen.But jiaogulan contains more than 100 health-giving saponins, which experts proclaim to be a broader and more powerful range than any other plant in nature. These include unique gypenoside saponins that are not found in any other species. 

Where does jioagulan grow?
Although it is now cultivated in many Asian countries, it is widely acknowledged that the best and most effective jiaogulan grows in the forests and foothills of its original home in China. 

How much jiaogulan is in Jule®?
The exact amount of jiaogulan, or of the other supernutrients contained in Jule, is not disclosed. This is considered one of the company’s greatest intellectual assets. However, rest assured that each serving contains a highly efficacious amount of active ingredients specifically formulated to deliver maximum nutritional benefits.

What are gypenoside saponins? 
Saponins are a diverse group of chemicals found throughout the plant kingdom, and many have been studied for their health benefits. Jiaogulan contains an elite subgroup of saponins called gypenosides, which may prove to exert the most profound influence on human health. Their structure is similar to the chemical structure of key hormones, and although gypenosides do not function as hormones, they have a remarkable ability to influence the body to produce a healthy balance of its own hormones. Jiaogulan contains more saponins than any other plant, and its bioactive gypenosides are not found in any other species. 

Does Jule treat, cure or prevent disease? 
No. It is not the purpose of a natural product such as Jule to treat, cure, or prevent disease; the FDA only approves drugs to offer these benefits.

Is Jule FDA approved?
There is no official approval process or certificate issued by the FDA to approve the sale of any food or dietary supplement. 

The Food and Drug Administration has established stringent regulations, called Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), to ensure the safety and manufacturing of foods sold in the United States. Jule is manufactured in a GMP-compliant facility.

What is the shelf life of Jule?
Jule is guaranteed to be fully potent for two years from the manufacturing date when kept unopened under cool and dry conditions. Product must be refrigerated upon opening and should be used within 30 days of opening.

Is Jule safe?
Jule is extremely safe and jiaogulan has been consumed in Asia for thousands of years. However, if you are pregnant or nursing, please seek out the advice of a nutritionally oriented medical practitioner before using.

Can Jule be used with other FreeLife products?
Yes. Jule is a perfect partner for the entire FreeLife family of products, including GoChi®, REVERSE!® and TAIslim®. Use all FreeLife products as directed, even when taken with Jule.

What is the best way to drink Jule? 
The daily dosage of Jule is flexible, depending upon one’s needs. Although you can drink as much Jule as you want, we recommend starting with 1-2 ounces twice daily (for a total of 2-4 ounces per day), preferably with your morning and evening meals. As you continue to drink Jule, you may wish to adjust your daily serving to achieve the results you seek. For performance enhancement (sports, etc.), an additional 2 ounces can be taken 30-50 minutes before physical activity. Always 
shake well before pouring Jule. Some people may prefer to mix Jule with water or the beverage of their choice. This is perfectly fine and all the benefits of Jule can still be enjoyed.

Why do I have to shake Jule before pouring?
Jule packs a lot of goodness into each serving. In fact, this liquid tonic is so potent that it is actually super-saturated. The small amount of precipitated nutrients at the bottom of the bottle will go right back into solution with a few quick shakes, and you’ll be able to enjoy the full power of Jule!
