It's your choice

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass,it's about learning to dance in the rain.
Somewhere there's someone who dreams of your smile,and finds in your presence that life is worth while.So when you are lonely, remember it's trueSomebody somewhere is thinking of you.- K. Blackburn -

THE BLESSING (part 2)

Like I was saying God loves us ,That when we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, we accepted The Blessing, The Anointing, The Word,Power,Love,Mercy,Grace,Forgiveness and all the blessings in THE BLESSING!
Gen.20:1 - 18
20:1 NOW ABRAHAM journeyed from there toward the South country (the Negeb) and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur; and he lived
temporarily in Gerar.
20:2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah [into his harem].
20:3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night and said, Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken
[as your own], for she is a man's wife.
20:4 But Abimelech had not come near her, so he said, Lord, will you slay a people who are just and innocent?
20:5 Did not the man tell me, She is my sister? And she herself said, He is my brother. In integrity of heart and innocency of hands I have
done this.
20:6 Then God said to him in the dream, Yes, I know you did this in the integrity of your heart, for it was I Who kept you back and spared you
from sinning against Me; therefore I did not give you occasion to touch her.
20:7 So now restore to the man his wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not restore her [to him],
know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.
20:8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning and called all his servants and told them all these things; and the men were exceedingly filled
with reverence and fear.
20:9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? And how have I offended you that you have brought on
me and my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me what ought not to be done [to anyone].
20:10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see [in us] that [justified] you in doing such a thing as this?
20:11 And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely there is no reverence or fear of God at all in this place, and they will slay me because of
my wife.
20:12 But truly, she is my sister; she is the daughter of my father but not of my mother; and she became my wife.
20:13 When God caused me to wander from my father's house, I said to her, This kindness you can show me: at every place we stop, say of
me, He is my brother.
20:14 Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham and restored to him Sarah his wife.
20:15 And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you; dwell wherever it pleases you.
20:16 And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given this brother of yours a thousand pieces of silver; see, it is to compensate you [for all that
has occurred] and to vindicate your honor before all who are with you; before all men you are cleared and compensated.
20:17 So Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female slaves, and they bore children,
20:18 For the Lord had closed fast the wombs of all in Abimelech's household because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.
GEN: 22:17
22:17 In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the
seashore. And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies,
GOD cut covenant with Abraham, in actual fact, He put Abraham to sleep and cut covenant with himself.


BE FRUITFUL MULTIPLY REPLENISH THE EARTH
Imagine the very first words Adam hears is BE FRUITFUL MULITPLY REPLENISH THE EARTH!
That sets the theme for the rest of the Bible
The same way Jesus spoke to the fig tree
MARK 11:13 - 14
11:13 And seeing in the distance a fig tree [covered] with leaves, He went to see if He could find any [fruit] on it [for in the fig tree the fruit
appears at the same time as the leaves]. But when He came up to it, He found nothing but leaves, for the fig season had not yet come.
11:14 And He said to it, No one ever again shall eat fruit from you. And His disciples were listening [to what He said].

MARK 11:20 - 26
11:20 In the morning, when they were passing along, they noticed that the fig tree was withered [completely] away to its roots.
11:21 And Peter remembered and said to Him, Master, look! The fig tree which You doomed has withered away!
11:22 And Jesus, replying, said to them, Have faith in God [constantly].
11:23 Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes
that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will
[get it].
11:25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your
Father Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
11:26 But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your failings and shortcomings.
Jesus had the Blessing what ever he said came to past.
That is the same for you and I,God created us in His Image and Likeness.A SPEAKING SPIRIT
Before Adam sinned he only spoke life and what ever he spoke that was it.
Now after Adam sinned he was speaking both life and death and it ought not to be!
God our Father commanded Adam to be fruitful,he commanded the Blessing.
He God commanded the darkness to be light.God spoke things into being.WOW!
The same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead dwells in us.
Jesus commanded the storm to still; He commanded Lazarus to get up from the dead!
Jesus said come follow me,greater works shall you do in my Name.

Abraham commanded the blessing that he received by FAITH TO MANIFEST WHERE EVER HE MAY BE.IN actual fact the Blessing produced life.

Made me Glad - Hillsong

THE BLESSING (part 1)

When God created Adam ,He made him like Himself, in His own IMAGE AND LIKENESS.
The bible says He formed him out of the dust of the earth, and breathed Himself into him.
Gen.1:26
1:26 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority
over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.
What am I saying? I'm saying that God created someone like Himself, a speaking spirit!
When God saw darkness , He did not say ,it's dark or anything about it, He said Let There Be Light.
God was calling those things that be not as though they were. Adam named everthing,the plant's animals etc.Wow!
God wanted someone that He could talk to, fellowship, walkwith,share with,that which He created,the heavens and the earth.
Do you know the first words Adam heard was Be Fruitful and Multiply and replenish the earth, and subdue it and have dominion.
Gen.1:28
1:28 And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it [using all its vast resources in the service
of God and man]; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and over every living creature that moves upon the earth.
He blessed them, they received the Blessing! Be Fruitful and Multiply, the Blessing was for them to prosper, The Anointing,impowered,
Replenish the earth.
The garden of Eden had everything they would need,in other words they were instructed and impowered and anointed to increase what was in the garden of Eden throughout the earth.
Before Adam and Eve SINNED they had all their needs met and purpose to increase in every area of their lives and to produce after their kind.Had fellowship with God , they walked with God. Is'nt that just wonderful!
Yes we know the way things went, Adam and Eve flell , they died spritualy , the wages of sin is death, that did not stop God from loving them, he still clothed them.One minute they were in fellowship with God ,walking with Him and the next cut off , seperated from Him.
Through sin Adam gave his authority to Satan ,dominion and power.
Our Father had to look for someone on the earth that He could come into agreement with,that would help Him Restore the earth.
He loves us so much,He never gave up on us ,never will ,as long as we are alive there is hope for God to use us in the plans that He Predestined before He created the Heavens and the Earth. He knew you and me ,he new our weaknesses our strengths,He new that He could use us to be a part of replenishing the earth. That is why He said in Matthew 6:33 Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added!
Seek First His Kingdom - His way of doing things.
Calling those things that be not as though they were!
Abram!
Gen. 12:
12:1 NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your
father's house, to the land that I will show you.
12:2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and
distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].
12:3 And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent
language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves].
12:4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left
Haran.
12:5 Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the persons [servants] that
they had acquired in Haran, and they went forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
12:6 Abram passed through the land to the locality of Shechem, to the oak or terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the
land.
12:7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity. So Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had
appeared to him.
12:8 From there he pulled up [his tent pegs] and departed to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west
and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.
12:9 Abram journeyed on, still going toward the South (the Negeb).
12:10 Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down into Egypt to live temporarily, for the famine in the land was oppressive
(intense and grievous).
12:11 And when he was about to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai his wife, I know that you are beautiful to behold.
12:12 So when the Egyptians see you, they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.
12:13 Say, I beg of you, that you are my sister, so that it may go well with me for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.
12:14 And when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.
12:15 The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house [harem].
12:16 And he treated Abram well for her sake; he acquired sheep, oxen, he-donkeys, menservants, maidservants, she-donkeys, and
camels.
12:17 But the Lord scourged Pharaoh and his household with serious plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
12:18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?
12:19 Why did you say, She is my sister, so that I took her to be my wife? Now then, here is your wife; take her and get away [from here]!
12:20 And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him, and they brought him on his way with his wife and all that he had.

God calls Abram asks him to leave his family and come and follow Him.Leave the worlds way of doing things and He would Bless him.
As we know that God Blessed him - The Blessing - God said to him through you all the nations will be Blessd,all the families on the earth.WOW!
We know from scripture that Abram made some mistakes ,God led him into the wilderness,Gods intension was to prove to Abram that GOD WOULD SUPPLY ALL HIS NEEDS.AND THAT HE WOULD PROSPER HIM IN EVERY AREA OF HIS LIFE.
Even in the wilderness God want's to show himself Strong to you and to me,to everyone who would believe Him.
The bible says that Abram believed God and God creditted to him as Righteousness
Righteousness not of works but of faith, righteousness that comes by Faith and not of works.
In other words Abram believed God , God's way of doing things
He struggled in the beginning for he went to Egypt, he even lied about Sari being his sister,because she was so beautiful.
We know that Pharoh wanted her for his wife, but found out that she was Abams wife.
Remember The Lord said to Abram whoever blesses you I will Bless , whoever curses you I will curse.
Pharoh understood this and that is why he sent abram away with his wife and blessed him.
Gen:15:
15:1 AFTER THESE things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram, I am your Shield, your abundant
compensation, and your reward shall be exceedingly great.
15:2 And Abram said, Lord God, what can You give me, since I am going on [from this world] childless and he who shall be the owner and
heir of my house is this [steward] Eliezer of Damascus?
15:3 And Abram continued, Look, You have given me no child; and [a servant] born in my house is my heir.
15:4 And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, This man shall not be your heir, but he who shall come from your own body shall
be your heir.
15:5 And He brought him outside [his tent into the starlight] and said, Look now toward the heavens and count the stars-if you are able to
number them. Then He said to him, So shall your descendants be.
15:6 And he [Abram] believed in (trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord, and He counted it to him as righteousness (right
standing with God).
Let me move on, God decides to change Abram's name to Abraham, from fatherless to father of many nations wow!
You notice something here? Calling those things that be not as though they were.
Abram began to call himself Abraham father of many nations, God shows him the sand and said that his offspring shall be as the sand ,and then shows him the stars and says to him see if you can count that! WOW!
Things begin to change for Abraham , he begins to see the promisses of God. He believed God, he did not consider his own body nor that his wife's womb was dead, he belived God! He Trusted GOD TO DO THAT WHICH HE SAID HE WOULD DO!
We have to come to the place where we believe God,His Promisses ,His WORD, HIS WAY OF DOING THINGS!
HE LOVES US AND NEVER WILL HE STOP LOVING US!
WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!
You know if I continualy say I am a good person and that I love people , I am going to believe it, it's going to start effect my way of thinking ,my way of doing things , my way of seeing life.
It was by FAITH that Abraham received the promisses, By Faith , FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD!
IN Joshua 1:8
1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do
according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.
God's desire is that we prosper. His way of prospering us is Through His WORD.
LET NOT MY WORD DEPART FROM YOUR LIPS MEDITATE ON IT DAY AND NIGHT
If we want to be suceessful then we have to do it HIS WAY, JESUS DID SAY I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
Any way let me continue ,if we are born again ,then we have been born into his Kingdom under His rules and regulations, His way of doing things.
He says to us meditate on my Word day and night, and you will have success where ever you go! WOW!
LET NOT MY WORD DEPART FROM YOUR LIPS , KEEP THEM ON YOUR LIPS EVERY DAY AND NIGHT.
We need to become diligent towards the things of God ,but becareful His WAY!
FAITH cometh by hearing the Word ,and God want's the Word to come out of our mouths.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh!
Like a rudar of a ship ,the rudar being so small yet it directs the ship.
So is the tongue so small yet it directs our lives,our destiny!
The tongue speaking good and evil yet it ought not to be so .
The Word of God on our lips daily will direct us in the plans and purposes of God.THE BLESSING!!!!!!
God watches over His Word to perform it!

PSALM 91

PSALM 91


91:1 HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no
foe can withstand].

91:2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust!

91:3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.
91:4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield
and a buckler.
91:5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day,
91:6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.
91:7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.
91:8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked.
91:9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
91:10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.
91:11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and
service].
91:12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
91:13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.

91:14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name
[has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness-trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never].
91:15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
91:16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

23:1 THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack.
23:2 He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.
23:3 He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him-not for
my earning it, but] for His name's sake.
23:4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to
protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me.
23:5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over.
23:6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of
the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.

LOVE SURVIVES

Love SurvivesTime to share is always thereI peered thru lifeEver avoiding strifeBut now am undoneMy barriers brokenFor one has found meReached in and unbound meHer love has burst my bondsAnd set music to my songsHer need for meAnd mine for sheHas made my Winter SpringA new startWith hammering heartWe color the world with our dreamNothing is as it did seemThe darkness of my solitude is doneShe - my rising sun.- Robert K.

I CAN'T HELP THINKING

I CAN'T HELP THINKING
This morning I was walking Upon grass sprinkled in dew When someone unknown came and said, "Let me walk with you." She knew no consent was needed And so in silence we walked Comfortably we went nowhere And nowhere is where we talked Fields were all around us Morning sun was shining through And even now I remember That someone being you I couldn't help thinking How beautiful it was to me To walk so very far with you And sit with you by the sea The sun was rising over the waves And your face was kissed with light I couldn't help thinking How this moment was so right The silence was so beautiful And I loved how it went unbroken Heaven is remaining with you Where no words must be spoken With you, hours are like minutes And fly by till it's night So we stare up at a sky That possesses stars so bright Staying here with you Proves how I love you so And this is how I tell you So you'll never let me go

I WILL SAY IT ALL OVER AGAIN

I Will Say It All Over Again
by Ur Angel

I've said it before......
But I will say it once again.

Since the day we first met......
It's as if a new world's just begun,
My life has just begun.
Your love is a special gift that comes from God above.
In my mind,
Our life as one will never end.

I've realized that I can't forget......
The way you are, the way you care.
How much I care for you, How much I love you......
Must we really wait for time to tell?
I can't quite express the way I feel,
But I hope you'll understand the things that I must confess now.

I'll shout out to the sky, "Above you there's no other".
I'll promise the blue oceans, "I'll do anything for your love".
I'll swear by the moon & the stars, "Without your love, I'd die".
I'll challenge my own heart to say wholeheartedly to you, "I truly love you".

If 'till now you're still uncertain,
I will say it all over again.

Saturday, July 7, 2007

I never want to forget
I never want to forget the love I feel for you,
I hope to indulge myself in everything you do,
remembering every motion,
every feeling so pure and true
the way you walk, the way you talk
your smile, your touch,
the sound of you whisper as you say
‘I love you so much’
I never want to forget this feeling inside
I don't ever want this feeling to pass me by
I look upon you in the midnight light,
feeling the warmth of your body close
holding me so tight
your eye lids reflect a waxy glow
watching them flicker of dreams never told.
listening to the sound of your heart
feeling it pound, surging upon my every part
I never want to forget
how it feels to be so in love,
especially when it is you
I always had dreamed of..
to live in this moment
In Our ever lasting love..
I Never Meant To Hurt You
by Cynthia Chatterton

As I lay here in the dark
Silence fills the air,
I wonder why I didn't notice
Just how much you care.

I can't believe I hurt you
After knowing what you've seen,
I know that I was wrong
Heartless, cold and mean.

An apology is given
It comes straight from my heart,
I never meant to hurt you
I've loved you from the start.

I know that you're confused
On how I went astray,
It hurts me more than you,
I regret it every day.

This lifetime isn't over
Yet I feel it frozen in place,
I need to hold you in my arms,
I need to touch your face.

Let me make it better
And we'll push the hurt aside,
But, if it doesn't work,
At least we know we tried.



Those actions aren't me
My true self slipped away,
But now I got "Me" back
And I need for you to stay.

Let me make you trust me
I just can't let you go,
I CAN bring you happiness
That's something we both know.

I'm truly, truly sorry
I've never been so sad,
Knowing that I'm losing
The greatest thing I've had.

I'll never do you wrong
I promise I'll be good,
Let me in your life again
To stand where I once stood.

The Magic Of Love

Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life's sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there's nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
Love can transform
The most commonplace
Into beauty and splendor
And sweetness and grace.
Love is unselfish,
Understanding and kind,
For it sees with its heart
And not with its mind!!
Love is the answer
That everyone seeks...
Love is the language,
That every heart speaks.
Love can't be bought,
It is priceless and free,
Love, like pure magic,
Is life's sweet mystery!!

A friends greeting

A Friend's Greeting

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me;
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be;

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

Poem for Sharon

Poem For Sharon

Why is it that some people who find love,
handle it with such carelessness?

Some people search for love all their lives.
When it is found, why put it down and forget about it,
only to realize how much it meant when it is gone?

When you find love, hold on to it,
celebrate its feelings,
drown in them every day,
be consumed by them...

I am consumed by you Sharon.

I will never set aside my love.
I will never look for it only when it is lost.

I love you.
I will show you and tell you every day.

Birthday boy

I'm celebrating my birthday today, i have so much to be thankful for.The past year had it's moments! I have a wonderful family who loves me unconditionaly and for that i thank The Lord Jesus Christ. He has poured out His blessing on me and His mercies are new every morning.

We are going out to Pietersburg which is about three hours drive away,and will be coming back on sunday.My wife and children have really spoilt me with alot of gift's which i did not expect!

Seed!

I was thinking to myself you need to say something,who knows who may read this,in actual fact i know i may need this at some other time.

I picture a flower growing and coming to full bloom,and gaze on the beauty,for the flower to be where it is now,it started as a seed.It may have looked insignifcant,unattractive,attracted no attention to itself. You would not even be able to identify the purpose of it,been dead as you look at it.
Given the opportunity,the right conditions,enviroment and even some storms,that may have threatened it,yet as I gaze at the beauty there is a history to it.A story!

You maybe going through a storm right now,not sure what direction to take,or how you got to be in the situation you find yourself,dont give up!
There is day and night,seasons..autum,winter ,spring and summer and so it is in life,you have a purpose in this life.You can and are affecting your enviroment in one way or another.Don't let circumstances dictate who you are,you were not created for the earth, but th earth for you.

You have been impowered to change your enviroment,you have the ability to change the circumstances you find yourself.

One word can and will change your life and the lives of others, Purpose.

I have more to share and would like you to share your thoughts and who knows who else we can be encouraged and helped to forfull their purpose!

Embracing Destiny

Embracing Destiny

To become the personYou are truly meant to be,You must be subjected toLife's trials and tribulationsStumbling along the way,Experiencing love and heartache,To appreciate all that you had ...And that of which you have yet to attain,Never allowing life's lessonsTo shatter your dreams ...Embracing Destiny
When fate throws you a curve,And it's not within your master plan ...Heave it back
It is within each of us,To determine what is desirable for us individuallyLife and love is meant to be cherished,Sharing with all those you adore Whether you choose to forge your path aloneOr hand in hand with person of choiceDoing it with enthusiasmIs truly paramount
Live your life to the fullestAs if it were your last day of mortalityFor each day is truly a precious giftFear not the unknown,Embrace Destiny and make it your own.

Filling my heart with Words of Faith

Faith is calling those things that are not as though they were.
Then my heart must speak once again,for out of the heart flow the issues of life!
Thank you Lord for been the same yesterday today and forever,that you never give up on me.
You never leave me nor forsake me,You mend the broken hearted.

I thank you that you are always there for me,even when i failed you.
I speak to my heart and say be healed and be made whole,for once again you can have what you say you can have. You said to me that you came that my joy may be full.

Thank You that in your presence there is fullness of joy,i realise that without you in any relationship there are bound to be problems,but with you i can overcome, for you made me an overcomer.One that speaks to mountians and they obey!

Thank You for a new day, Your mercies are new every morning,and your grace is suffcient.
I speak to Goodness and Mercy to follow me all the days of my life.
And yes i will dwell in the house of theLord forever,for in your house there is no lack,sickness or fear,but Faith Love and Hope and the greatest is Love.

Thank You Lord!

Blessed be your name forever!

PS.Thank You for Blessed!

A broken Heart

What does it take to mend a broken heart?
when someone has abused a relationship,when you give your all, heart and soul,to findout that the person was only after your money!

Dog and duck playing together

Elvis duck (khaki campbell breed) chasing Bluey dog (Australian cattle dog cross). Bluey takes it as funny playing but Elvis might actually be much more serious trying to protect his family: his wife Mavis (a muscovy duck) and the eggs she was laying. At first we were afraid that Bluey might accidentally hurt Elvis but she never did.

Filmed at Machans beach, Cairns, Queensland, Australia in October 2005.

My heart for you!

Loving you

Nothing stays the same. Sunrise becomes sunset; Morning turns into night; An angry storm can turn Into a gentle breeze; A tiny seed can become a Towering tree; A lowly caterpillar Transforms into a Colorful butterfly; A child grows into a man. Life goes on. Seasons change. Circumstances change. People change. But I know That I will always love you No matter what happens Or whatever changes That will take place in our lives.

The heart of the matter

A person in love reveals the most of his or her heart!
Experencing emotions that only love can bring.
and yet when we love the most, we can also be hurt the most
So why is it that we desire to be loved,knowing that with love there is also pain!
if this is true, can broken hearts ever reveal the love that only true love can bring?

Getting started!

I'm not one that talks much, but i do enjoy getting to know people and what they have to share.
i must say even though we may never meet , but there is a connection and that's good.
we may not have the same interests, it's like touching hands only this time it's our hearts. Amazing what we share in words is who we are. Or should i say what we are potraying!
i'm really blessed reading some of the blogs, the pictures of some of the places i might never get to see. i feel priveledged!
