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.

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!!!

Orange Peels

Guys I miss Blogging! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....and since I'm not using my comptuer I don't have pictures or anything so I get all annoyed and don't want to post. You know I miss you all though and I really have gotten over my computer addiction, I have a substitute laptop for now which doesn't have wireless so I have to plug the internet cable in every time and it's not in my room, and the time I did go online with it I got tonz of mosquito bites on my feet sitting out in the hallway. Oh well ptl I don't even ever feel like getting online, or blogging, but what I miss is writing letters---Stephie and Cwissy I promise I will write you both soon, esspecially Cwissy before your bday:D So the point of this post is that even when I do have a nice laptop with my wireless (aka my laptop will be fixed) I won't be online much or blogging so much, not that I don't like it, it's just I was way to addicted and I don't want to be like that again. You guys have no idea I couldn't last 1 day without my computer and you won't believe how much free time I have without a computer, ofc I need it for some things but ya...I think you should get the point and if not uhhh just pretend you do. Oh by the way I'm listening to this super cool song right now called "We can make a difference" I like it (the message) but totally not my style song. I will try to find it to post here...brb

Ok back...I could not find the one with Jaci Velasquez (the singer) singing it, but if you watch this one you will get the picture. 


Ok the end of my weird post, I donno whats wrong with me today:D

Computer Crash!

Well anyway wish you the best hope all your wishes come true (as long as they don't have any bad affect on my life) and hope you get to eat 5  plates of steak and RICE (you still have to have some Filipino affects on you). Don't forget to use a spoon and a fork (good manners remember) and tell your brothers and sister to give you a birthday tickling for me:D GBY! ---Nat
Ps. Anita's reminding you to drink lots of 
milk powder as it's good for you!                                

A Thought Provoking Story

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone,
except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was
able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’ The girl looked at
her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her.
She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’

Always There

Jesus is all you'll ever need!

(Jesus speaking:)     

41.  When  David  Livingstone  began  his

missionary  expeditions  across Africa,  things
were still a sacrifice for him. At the beginning
of his service to Me, he couldn’t truthfully say, “I
have never made a sacrifice,” because he hadn’t
proved  Me  yet.  He  hadn’t  tested  My  promises
yet. He hadn’t yet tasted of My rewards in return
for his sacrifices. He hadn’t yet experienced that
I was enough for him.
       42. And so there were sacrifices. First the
sacrifices  were  relatively  small,  like  the  harsh
climates  he  had  to  endure,  the  uncomfortable
traveling  conditions,  the  dangerous  tribes  he
encountered,  the  pests  and  plagues  of Africa
like the mosquitoes, bugs, filthy water, and much
more. Sometimes he wondered why he was even
embarking  on  such  a  mission  when  the  fruit
seemed so pathetic; in fact, for the first few years
the fruit was hardly even budding.
       43. Then the sacrifices became greater, like
having to leave his wife and children while he
went on missions to other tribes; watching his
children suffer the sicknesses of Africa; allowing
Me to take one of his children Home to Heaven;
sending his whole family back to England while
he labored alone in Africa; trusting Me, although
his life was touched with affliction time and time
again.
       44.  These  were  greater  sacrifices,  but
because he had sacrificed in the little things, he
had come to see that I was enough reason and
purpose to endure the bigger sacrifices too. He
had experienced My rewards in return, and this
gave him faith and that level of passion to be able
to sacrifice yet more for Me.
       45. As he continued to serve and sacrifice,
he continued to experience My great capacity
to satisfy. Each year he found that I was more to
him than the year before. And through proving Me,
through testing My promises, through sacrificing
all to Me, he was able to discover if I alone was
enough for him. And by the words of his testimony,
“I have never made a sacrifice,” you can see that
he found that I was enough.
       46.  In  much  the  same  way,  you  too  can
reach that level of passion where I alone am
enough to you. It is through the paths of sacrifice,
obedience, service and lowliness that you discover
My great capacity to be the world for you.

Spirit Helpers

The adults decided that if we want to watch Legend of the Seeker we have to memorize 3 verses before each episode and we normally watch 2...so man that is hard. But so far we have been doing pretty good :D then all of a sudden the decided we had to memorize 3 spirit helpers and their counterparts before each episode, so in order to watch 2 episodes we have to learn 3 verses and 3 spirit helpers demon thingies.... Now for me since I already know my spirit helpers that is easy peesy, I only have to do verses. Then they decided that we have to read this GN called New Spirit World Power. First I was annoyed that it was so hard just to watch, but then I decided it was good for me as I need to work with my spirit helpers, I mean the last time I talked to them was probably a few months ago. So therefore I am going to start...wish me luck (aka pray for me, I don't believe in luck). Soon I will be pro in everything...I wish. O ya and I am doing art....If i can get my art to look like this

this is a flat surface btw

than I will get payed for it (yes the money will go to the home, but still man they will pay for my art!). Ok well my try at this picture 

didn't turn out so well, like you see this picture it looks like the ground isn't flat, and in my picture the ground looks flat

Ok this is my one. It's different but ptl it turned out ok, my dad is going to show it to the guy who wants to buy my pictures and I hope he likes it:D (pray he does). And even if he doesn't soon I will learn to draw the proper way and then it will be good. Plus if he pays good then I will ask the home to let me keep a percent of the money so I can save up to buy an e-guitar, unless Jesus doesn't supply one first. 

--the lighting in my picture is bad but that's cuz it was taken with a junk phone camera.

Zindy-zone.dk

She is the most awesome artist ever....well most of her pictures that is. Have a look at some of my favorites--not in any order

Ok well that is just some........she's an awesome artist, and one day I hope I will be able to draw as well as her:D One of my favorite things about her is her imagination, she draws what I wish I could draw, like awesome angels, and super pretty, beautiful people. I'm jealous
