Oyyy...Happy Birthday

Meggy...ur as old as me now...wow! For some reason I always think your older than me...but still makes u an awesome person no matter how old you are. I miss chatting with you, and always look online to see if you're there, but these days NEVER! Oh well patience, or at least try. MEGGY! (again) Happy Birthday, hope you have the best birthday of your life and enjoy every moment of it (most of the moments are gone now that it's evening :P) Get some nice presents and if people don't give u nice ones go to them and tell them "Hey I'm way to awesome for such a junky present give me a better one!" (Ok sounded dorky) But but, I really really miss you, and hope  u'll come visit me this year, that would be super awesome. You know you're the first Japanese girl I know, I mean I have seen others, but as far as talked to..it was only guys and even those were all over 20, so it's cool knowing you, along with all the other reasons you're really one of a kind. Plus ur crazy and a good cook (I just wish I could benefit from more than just the pictures of your food!) I love you crazy alien and I officially adopt you as my alien, kinda........well friend/pet etc...:D I LOVE YOU!
Nat :)

Ps. I think you make the best Mulan ever!..u totally look the part.

Here a pwetty rose for you! (Smiles and tires to act formal but fails and starts laughing and gives you a hug)

Xn Ad: Absolutely Anything!

(Jesus:) I'm feeling very generous these days toward My obedient children. I'm like a rich man who is handing out gifts and blessings right and left. You who please Me deserve everything that I have to give. Is there something special on your heart? Do you have any secret desires? Now would be an excellent time to ask. It would be My delight to fulfill your wish. ("Prophecy Vitamins, Part 1," ML #3587)

Key Promise:

If you ask anything in My Name, in the power of the keys, I will do it, and you will see miracles. ("Expect miracles/General," Key Promises)

(Jesus:) What do you need? What do you want? The power of Heaven is yours to command, and there are no impossibilities for you, so don't be afraid to ask! And if you don't know what you need, call on My Spirit to pray for you and through you, to bring about My answers and solutions. ("Prophecy Vitamins, Part 1," ML #3587)

Key Promise:

Anything that you need or desire to help you … you can claim through the power of the keys of faith, and it will be yours. ("Work," Key Promises)

(Jesus:) I am the God of the Universe, and all that this world contains is Mine, and Mine to give. The Devil may think that he owns and controls it, but really, I am the One Who is ultimately in control. When you need something, ask Me for it and I will bring it. Even if I have to part a Red Sea of obstacles and difficulties to bring it to you, I will! If something is My will, and if you have been obedient and are doing your best to stay close to Me, I will supply it! So ask, and you will receive. ("Words of Wisdom, Part 1," ML #3614:95)

Key Promise:

Anything you want to do is within your grasp, your reach, your power, because I've given you the keys of the Kingdom, and nothing is impossible to you. ("Spiritual Life," Key Promises)

Notable Quote:

(Jesus:) Your wish is My command in our teamworking relationship. Your portfolio is to do the asking; My portfolio is to do the supplying. ("Prophecy Vitamins, Part 1," ML #3587)

Keep On Praying for the Baby

From Estie’s blog:
Guyss!! Just got news…. and updates on William…. Thank you sooo much to all of you out there praying for him! this means the world to me!!
So the main thing is this… he’s getting better… but he still needs a LOT of prayers both him and his parents…
Got a letter from Anim’s dad (who is with her at this time)… here’s an except of it…
Here’s the main points summarized for prayer request that we see at this time:
> Deliverance from this serious, life threatening skin disease
> For praise for the healing of wounds Jesus has performed already – an emaciated entire ear, raw & bloodied – now almost normal shape & the red soreness down to one tiny small spot; wonderful progress in the healing of a large, open, burn-type sore surrounding his belly button/umbillical cord tip – about 70% healed; his left leg, from the toe up to a little above his knee, raw to the point of almost being down to the muscle tissue – now healed aproximately 40- 50%
> Continued healing of present flesh wounds
> Against scarring, and body parts – hands, arms, feet & legs, fingers & toes etc. - losing range of motion as new skin tissue forms.
> Protection from side effects of morphine & pain killers.
> Against infection of any sort – our main enemy at this time – for miraculous protection for William’s vulnerable open wounds.
> Against the blisters reaching into William’s eyes & effecting his vision & sight.
> Against blistering in William’s mouth & throat, that could potentially make feeding extremely difficult.
> Against developing a diaper rash – which of course could be very complicated to deal with on top of everything else.
>For William’s health overall, against any sickness whatsoever. Even a simple cold could disrupt his eating, which is so very vital to his skin’s healing process right now.
> For the Lord & His spirit helpers to minister to William’s sweet spirit.
> For the staff & all of us to find the least painful & best way to dress & treat his wounds to aid in new skin tissue to grow (so far, the dressing changes have been pretty traumatic for the little fellow, and a real challenge to perfect – it was once daily, but now we’re trying every other day) and also maintain his comfort through the correct delicate balance of pain medicine. (update today: his dressing change went very well, and we were finished in a record time of only ONE hour, as opposed to FOUR hours of painful crying & screaming! – TYJ! And it was done with very little discomfort to William, and best of all, once the old dressing was removed, it revealed his skin tissues healing wonderfully!! – PLEASE keep praying, Dear Family!!)
> For continued good relations & unity with the staff. Also for witnessing opportunities with each of them.
>  For our sample & witness.
> For our physical & spiritual strength & stamina.
> For Anim’s continued faith, strength, peace & trust. She’s been an incredible sample to all of calm strength, and winning the respect & admiration of many, and the comment of one of the main Doctors saying he “is very impressed by her”.
> For good, feeding Word time, & personal time with Jesus.
> For Anim’s continued recovery from her childbirth – (which she did WONDERFULLY at)
> For the Lord’s supply & finances for personal needs & housing during William’s soon coming long-term care.

> For Ezra, of Anim, William’s daddy, to secure a visa to be able to come to the U.S. to join us & be with his family.

I'm sure if you keep on praying Jesus will completely heal him. :)

Music

This post is taken from Joel's Blog and I decided it was worth re-posting as today I realized how important music is to me and the world (I mean I always knew music was awesome but I imagined the world without music). Plus I didn't ask permission (lalala.. Joel don't kill me) 
Note to Joel: I'm making your post a bit more famous be glad


-If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music.
 
-Were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead.

-Music is what feelings sound like.
 
-Music is the poetry of the air.
 
-There is nothing in the world so much 
like prayer as music is.  
                                      
-Play the music, not the instrument.

-You are the music while the music lasts.
 
-Its language is a language which the soul alone understands, but which the soul can never translate.

-A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.


-Music is love in search of a word.

 On biblical scale:
-Moses was a singer and writer.

-David wrote a whole book of songs, the Book of Psalms.

-Jeremiah wrote a song now known as Lamentations.
 
-Hannah, the mother of Samuel, wrote songs, and Deborah and Barak sang a duet before the Children of Israel.
 
-The Lord even used musical instruments to save His children from their enemies, like the trumpets which caused the walls of Jericho to fall and the Midianites to flee from Gideon's meager army of 300 men.


You can read all through the Bible how God's children were constantly singing and making a joyful noise unto the Lord. Even Jesus and His disciples sang songs, and Paul exhorts that we should all sing psalms and spiritual songs. John even heard singing in Heaven--the song of Moses.

Prayer Is Powerful!

One of my friends asked me to pass this around...and even if you don't know who Estie or Windy are just pray for the request:

Estie’s 2 day old baby nephew (William) is in a very serious condition. He has what is called Epidermolysis bullosa or also commonly known as the Butterfly disease. This sickness causes his skin to open up in blisters similar to a 3rd degree burn whenever any sort of friction (including touch) is applied to his skin.
So please, keep him in your prayers as many children don’t survive this disease because the pain is very severe and they can’t handle it, and the ones that do… well, this sickness is for life, which means the sores are for life.
Please, please, please pray that the Lord will do a miracle and completely heal her from this disease even though there is not a cure and nothing doctors can do, we have the best doctor in the whole universe!
But also, if it’s His will for this little baby boy to go back to his arms, that it will be very easy for Anim and her husband.
So please, I ask you to join this prayer chain and re-post this in your own blog and send it to your email contacts. United prayer has amazing power, so let’s do all we can to see this miracle through!
Anim and Ez, we will be praying for you! Keep on going strong for the Lord, when we are weak, it is then that HE is strong and through him NOTHING is impossible! The Lord knows what’s best, and I know it will all work out in the end! We love you!-by Windy

It's St. Patricks Day

Green day...I mean the day when everyone is supposed to dress in green. I was going to but then when I woke up I forgot it was St. Patricks day, and I'm not in the mood for changing, so therefore I have no green on me whatsoever :D but it's ok I can still celebrate it somehow in my heart.

Imagine lots of lepricons around you (if you don't know why then it can just be for fun)


Always remember:

Don't let this happen to you:

Find a four leaf clover (if you have clovers in your country--which you don't here):

Last but not least...look for the rainbow, there is always a pot of gold at the end:

The Youth Club

Since last year April we have been having a youth club, there has been lots of ups and downs, and we have had some breaks. But over all it's still running and fruitful, we did many projects, such as releif work for the typhoon Ondoy, went to PGH (Philipine General Hospital), and roadtrips etc. We also have a blog for it:
uyc-manila
with many subsections. We recently started another subsection which is full of stories and quotes from different places. We found lots of inspirational stories and parts from activated mags, if your interested you can look at it:
uyc-reflexions
I hope you like it.

Have fun reading!

Have Faith--Jesus is Always There!

Whenever things are rough, whenever you feel that they're not turning out the way you'd hoped, when you feel your prayers aren't being answered, when the trials of life are a little too much to bear, when the battle seems too long, when your faith is under attack, when you're feeling weary and aren't sure if you can take much more, climb up onto the rock-solid foundation God has provided for your faith through His many promises and encouraging words, and rest in that safe haven.

Don't try to answer all of the devil's lies and accusations yourself; let the Word answer for you. Take comfort, also, in the fact that this battle isn't uniquely yours. It's one that every Christian of all time has had to reckon with, and the answer is the same today as it has ever been—trust in God and His wonderful ways. You can't figure it all out. Instead, encourage yourself in the Word and relax in the comfort of knowing that Jesus has everything in His hands. Rest in Jesus' arms, let Him shield you and support you, and in God's time the storm will pass.

Prayer request extra: We are moving! Same country, same city, different house. Ok now we are going to live alone (as in just my family) and even though I love my family very much living with only my family is not something I enjoy very much........so pray I will learn to enjoy it, and that we find a new house with 5 rooms, and that everything goes well........also if you want to come live with me ur welcome anytime:P So ya just pray and everything will work out.

Also keep on praying for my guitar, on my birthday people gave me some money for it, so I have like half the amount, pray the rest comes through. TX

I LUV U!!!
