Fearless Friday

It's Friday once again. This is a day we come together to pray for each other.

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised." Hebrew 10:35-36

Praise report:

• My friend Armi who had a brain tumor, went to see her doctor yesterday for an MRI. The result came back clear. Praise God!

Please pray for:

• Beth's son. Got this in my inbox --- I got a call from my oldest son this morning and he said in the night he heard my son Rod saying "it is over". I updated him with all that has been happening and told him to contact prayer warriors he knew, but we really need a break through on this. It has come to the point some of the family has decided to confront him and before when he has been confronted, he has either threatened or tried to take his life. You may share this with people you know to be prayer warriors. I need your prayers also as I continually try to leave this in God hands... I have fought this battle for so long that I am really needing all your prayers to sustain me. Thanks. I love you all. Have a great day in the Lord. ~ Love, Beth

• Healing for Denise and Eddie.

• Financial breakthrough for Angie and Randy.

• Financial breakthrough for Sylvia.

• My heart's desires.

• My husband. It's his birthday tomorrow. --- May he put God first in his life and make Jesus the Lord in every area of his life. May he turn away from his sins and go back to God. May his will be in line with God's will. May he come to his senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken him captive to do his will.

These were taken during his water baptism last 2004

Thank you for praying my dear friends.

"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" Jeremiah 32:27

Thankful Thrusday

I first met Duncan, who I fondly call D, four years ago. He came here to Manila with his wife and kids for a vacation. They're from Canada. We are blog friends, like most of us here. When he texted me last December that they'll be coming to Manila, I was so excited. Finally, the wait's over. Last Sunday, we all saw each other again.

Here are some photos of us. Hope you like them.

I wish to meet my other blogger friends... someday... soon... Until then, I continue to thank the Lord for blogger friends I've already met and the ones I'm yet to meet in the near future.

Rejoicing...

Do you ever get butterflies in your tummy just by listening to music that reminds you of beautiful memories in the past? Like your soul is rejoicing and your body is reacting, thus the fluttery feeling?

Teehee... I do.

Thankful Thursday

This week I thank the Lord for:

• Continuously changing me to be a better person. I didn't notice the changes before, but I do now.
• Waking me up at night to quicken me to pray for someone.
• The gifts He sent me through my friends. I love having good surprises from the Lord.
• A hearty laugh every now and then. Wish I could do this more often.
• Peace even if some people are saying nasty things about me. God made me realized last night that these people have issues in their lives, deep seated issues, and I just happened to be the one "out there" to throw their darts at so to speak.

Took this photo yesterday on my way home. This picture didn't do justice on how beautiful this rainbow really was.

Fearless Friday

It's Friday once again, my first Fearless Friday post for this year. This is a day we come together to pray for each other.

"So I (Jesus) say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened..." Luke 11:9-10

"And I (Jesus) will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." John 14:13-14

"I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?" Jeremiah 32:27

"According to your faith will it be done to you" Matthew 9:29

Please pray for:

• Denise and her husband Eddie for complete healing.
• Sylvia. She needs to pay her bills immediately. Please pray for financial provision and breakthrough.
• Angie and her family. Please pray for financial breakthrough.
  
• The people of Haiti.
• Armi who had brain tumor. Please pray for complete healing and fast recovery.
• My friend's uncle Dick who also has brain tumor. The doctors say he is dying. Please pray for him and his family. I still believe in miracles.
  
• Christopher's mom who also has brain tumor and is currently undergoing radiation. Please pray for her healing.
• My mom's complete healing.
  
• My heart's desires.
  

If you have prayer requests and you need somebody to stand in the gap for you, please leave a comment here and I will pray.

This week I thank the Lord for:

• His divine financial blessings. I was surprised to learn that my friend Paz from Canada sent me a few dollars yesterday. Yey!
• The lessons He taught me about Wisdom during our prayer and fasting.
• Hope. I am believing God for answered prayers regarding my faith goals for this year. I thank the Lord for giving me hope.

Deep In Love With You

After all these years of being a Christian, I never really said I love God the way I would say it now... with so much passion in my heart.

I want to share this song with you by Michael W. Smith. It expresses everything I feel for our Almighty God.

Sitting at Your feet is where I want to be
I'm home when I am here with You
Ruined by Your grace, enamored by Your gaze
I can't resist the tenderness in You

I'm deep in love with You, Abba Father
I'm deep in love with You, Lord
My heart, it beats for You, precious Jesus
I'm deep in love with You Lord

Humbled and amazed that You would call my name
I never have to search again
There's a deep desire that's burning like a fire
To know You as my closest friend

Lord, my redeemer, Your blood runs through my veins
My love for You is deeper than it was yesterday
I enter through the curtain, parted by Your grace
Oh, You're the lover of my soul

Thankful Thursday

This week I thank the Lord for:

• His unconditional love He continues to show me.
• His shield of protection over me.
• Friends who continue to lift me up in prayer.
• His Word that guides me.
• His faithfulness.

When a person hurls negative, degrading and profane words at you, I'm sure you too will be thankful for these, knowing in your heart that ---

"No weapon turned against you will succeed. You will silence every voice raised up to accuse you. These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD; your vindication will come from me. I, the LORD, have spoken!" Isaiah 54:17 (NLT)

And God's promise that ---

"It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." Deuteronomy 32:35 (NIV)

Not my words, but HIS.

Forgiving Me

How do you forgive yourself?

I never would've thought about this until my friend Sylvia brought it up a few minutes ago. I confided in her what was troubling me and how I felt. She knew I was crying my eyeballs out last night because I left her a message on her answering machine. She noticed that I kept on bringing up the past and the person I used to be. She also noticed that although I've already asked God for forgiveness, I still have yet to forgive myself. And you know, she's right!

So how do you really forgive yourself?

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!!

I'm so excited for what's in store for me this 2010. This coming Friday will be the start of our annual Seven Days Prayer and Fasting. I'm so excited to know what God's will for me this year. I had a blessed 2009 and I believe that this year will be much more blessed. Aren't you excited?

Anyway, I have a lot of catching up to do with y'all. I'll do that this week. In the meantime, I want to share some photos with you taken last December 31, 2009 with my friends.

Happy New Year!!!

Lord, thank you for everything you have done, what you have made me go through, what you are doing and for what you're about to do in my life. I give you all the glory! In Jesus' mighty name, amen!
