Wow...2008...gone so fast.

In a blink of an eye...before we know it...

As we look back to the first day of school...like in my case, the first day of Form 2...

All the memories that fly by...sad times, happy times, angry times, stupid times...all gone...

All that's left are the memories...which will one day be just a tiny dot etched in the corners of our minds...

Life was something God gave to us...and we should be thankful we were chosen by Him to carry out what He would do on Earth...

To love.
To care.
To spread His Word.
To heal.
To pray and worship Him.
To trust.
And many many other positive things.

Be thankful, cos' when you know you livin and breathin every single moment now, while someone's life has ended in this world.

Be thankful that you were even born, unlike those little babies that die of abortion or miscarriage.

Be thankful that God specially chose each and every one of us to glorify His name and to share His love among others.

Yes, the purpose of Him giving us life is to fulfill His Word in our "first life", before moving on to our "second life" which is eternal. =)

I just thought of this concept. I figured that our life on Earth is like a trial to determine if we earn a place in heaven or not, judging by how much good we have done. It is a fair thing to do, we are given a mind of our own, privilege of making decisions on our own and so on...

So it's up to each and everyone of us..let's not take the wrong path.

For if we do, we'll suffer much more in our "second life"..just that we'll be suffering in Hell rather than being in blissful paradise.

So if we have done anything bad like:

* Satanism- okay, I listen to satanic songs but I don't practice satanism

* Premarital Sex

* Well, anything that is sinful and unclean

Please, let us all not hesitate to repent...it doesn't mean we have to go for Confession in Church or what...just be really really sorry for our sins and ask God for forgiveness...I'm sure He'll forgive us...=)

So live 2009 and the coming years to the fullest, everyone! Life could be short or long, depending on how we live it. By drugs, sex and alcohol or by faith, trust, love and hope. Our lives is in God's hand, He could take it away anytime, anywhere. Never blame God for someone's death or a dying person...as He has his reasons for everything.

So Happy 2009 everyone! Live in the light of God...XD

God Bless You.

My 101st post...in let's see...March, April May...now it's December (12-3+1)..erm...erm....(9+1)=10! My 101st post in 10 months...XD

I've been listening to this song for quite some time now..ever since the year 2006..this song is so inspiring and I feel that I should share it all with you..if you would actually be considerate enough to not turn off the music player in my blog now, (i changed the playlist AGAIN), the first song would be the song I'm talking about now.

"Can't Take That Away From Me" by Mariah Carey

They can't say, anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down, but I will not allow,
Anyone to succeed, hanging clouds over me and,
They can't try not to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all, but I refuse to falter in what I believe,
Or lose faith in my dreams, cause' there's,
There's a light in me that shines brightly,
They can try, but they can't take that away from me...
Nonononononononono...yea....Oh..
They, they can't do, anything they want to you,
If you let them in, but they won't never win,
If you cling to your pride, and just push them aside see,
I, I have learned there's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul, that they cannot possess,
So I won't be afraid, and the darkness will fade, cause' there's,
There's a light in me that shines brightly, yes,
They can try, but they can't take that away from me,
No...they can't take this,
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me,
Where I need to go...Oh...they, can't say,
Anything they want to, say,
Try to bring me down, but I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily, sailing out of their reach oh Lord,
They do try, hard to make me feel, that I, don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe, or lose faith in my dreams,
Cause' there's, a light in me, that shines...brightly yea...
They can try, but they can't take that away from...me...

Yes, if you did actually read through the whole thing, you can see..no, you can FEEL there's this source of inspiration coming from this lyrics. When I heard this song for the first time, I IMMEDIATELY fell in love with it. No kidding. It inspired me so much and it gave a whole new meaning to my life. Through this song, I learned to remain strong when people persecute me, remain faithful amidst all the evil that is happening in this world right now, trust that when something happens that isn't according to our will, it will be according to God's as He knows what is best for us.

Mariah wrote this song lyric by herself. If you listen to the way she sings it, you can actually feel how much pain she has been through in her life. Growing up in a broken family, being teased of her race when she was in school, persecution. This song has something special about it, I swear.

I could be pasting some lyrics of praise and worship songs here like let's see..."I Could Sing of Your Love Forever". But no, from hundreds of worship songs that I could choose from, I chose this from Mariah Carey, the best female singer in the world. And I had this instinct in me asking me to write a post about this, so here I am, writing the lyrics out and sharing it with y'all.

To all the people out there, like me:

Have you felt so alone?
Have you felt so crushed that your whole world seems so lifeless?
Have you felt so helpless that when you reach out your hand, nobody takes it?
Have you treated people good and they returned your favours with nasty deeds? (persecution)
Have you been brought down so badly you cried yourself to sleep every night?
Have you helped others in their time of need, but no one helps you when you need it?
Have you loved someone and not have them love you back?

If you answered "yes" to all these questions, then give this song a listen.

Close your eyes and picture a life where sorrow doesn't exist...a world where peace and love unending...=)

This song has touched my life and it can touch yours too..that's why I named my Playlist Column, "Mine + Yours = Ours"..because what God has given me, will also be given to you. (:

"Can't Take That Away From Me" works wonders...=D

God Bless You.

A prayer for those who are persecuted.

Psalms 35 (34) (picked from the CCB Bible:Catholic Pastoral Edition)

O Lord, attack those who attack me: fight against those who fight against me.
Come to my aid with armour and shield;
stand with your spear and war ax, halt my pursuers.
Say to my soul, "I am your deliverer."
Let them be shaken and dishonoured, those who seek my life.
Let them be routed and destroyed, those who plot my ruin.
Let them be like chaff before the wind, when the Lord's angel drives them away.
Let their escape path be dark and precipitous, where the Lord's angel always at their heels.
They sent their net against net against me for no cause, they dug a pit for me without reason.
Let ruin come upon them unexpectedly, let them be entangled in their own snare; let them fall into the trap of their own making.
Then will my soul rejoice in the Lord and exult in his salvation.
My whole being will excalim, "O Lord, who is like you? You deliver the oppressed from those too strong for them, you rescue the poor and the needy from their oppressors."
False witnesses take the stand, accusing me of crimes of which I am innocent.
For my kindness they return evil, bringing my life to despair.
When they were sick, I wore sackcloth and fasted, I prayed hard with head bowed,
as if I were bereft of a friend or brother;
I shed tears in grief, as one mourning the death of his mother.
But when I stumbled they gathered in glee and, began to strike me, like strangers they disowned me and accused me falsely.
Like an ungodly circle of mockers, they gnashed their teeth and made me the butt of all their ridicule.
How long, O Lord, will you look on?
Deliver my life, my only one, from these lions.
Then I will thank you in the great assembly;
I will praise you in the mighty throng.
Do not let them gloat over me- those who, unprovoked, have become my foes.
Do not let them wink maliciously- those who hate me without cause.
Sowing discontent with their tongue and mind, they devise false accusations against the peace-loving people of the land.
They open wide their mouths against me: "Aha! aha!" they say, "We have seen it with our own eyes!"
But you, O Lord, who have seen, do not keep silent.
Do not stand far from me.
Stir yourself up, stand up for my rights and my cause, my God and my Lord!
Declare me innocent, O Lord, my God, according to your justice.
Let them not gloat over me.
Never give them reason to say, "We have trampled him down!"
Let them be utterly disgraced and confounded, who exult over my calamity.
Let them be ashamed and dishonored, who rejoice at my distress.
But let them be glad and rejoice, who are in sympathy with my cause.
And may they ever say, "Great is the Lord, who has justified his servant."
Then will my tongue proclaim your righteousness, and sing your praises all day long.

Thank the Lord, for the trials that He bring to our lives...and the persecutors..they have been influenced by the devil. Persecution is a sin and the work of Satan...Pray if you have been persecuted with the above prayer, and never forget to glorify God's name, no matter what the situation may be, good or bad.

And I assure you, if you put your trust and faith in Him, your pain will soon be over. =)

"Place your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you, for he never allows the upright to fall." Psalms 55 (54):23

Once again, God bless all of you. And Merry Christmas XD
