amazing grace was awesome... it's movie by the way for those who are wondering what th heck i am rambling on about... about a man who fought long and hard to abolished slave trade.... it is titled amazing grace because it's the story of the man who wrote the song "amazing grace". He was the captain of a slave trade ship. the cruelty, inhumane suffering that he witnessed led him to write this song i believe. the description of being traded like animals, shipped in cubicles the size of standing coffins, with no proper sanitation or waste disposal.... dying of despair or dysentery.... it all seems a vague and faraway... yet it is the brutal fact of life that it all happened... and how evil and deprived men can be... an inspiring movie that a few men and women can change what seemed a hopeless act of cruelty into a crusade of hope, justice and freedom for people who were undefended.... some day i wished i could do the same... fight for something i have a real passion for, do something to make this world a better place....

          The U in JesUs

Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand,
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His Upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true,
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know, But it all starts with U.

Is God calling you to do something difficult? Perhaps to take a missions
trip to help people in need. Or to witness to someone throwing her life
away with bad decisions. Or to show kindness and love in a relationship
that needs encouragement. If you aren’t sure you can do it, ask God to
help you. Then, trusting your loving heavenly Father, dive toward that
goal. It could be the best play of your life. Dave Branon
Prior to ripping out the wires of relationships, we could check to see if patience and forgiveness are connected in our own heart.

It’s good to look inside our heart—to check the obvious first—even when it feels as if all our problems are caused by others. David C. McCasland

I’ll check within my own heart first,
The obvious to see,
That faults I find in others
Are really faults in me. —D. De Haan


this is so true. seeking God's will in my life was more a out look searching for things that are external. and today's daily bread devotion reminded me, i should do some soul searching, look inside my heart and check what's obvious rather than to look outward for something obscure. hoping God will show me some sign however small. I should check the condition fo my heart whether there are any issues that are obviously wrong or need to be brought before God.

And i somehow know, i could be more patient, i could be more forgiving.

i m down....

more down that i've ever been in a long time... i don't want to talk bout it.... yet in my blues,
i see the people who cares for me, and i am touched that in my darkness.... people who i take for granted around me really care and love me... maybe this is God's wake up call for me.... i need to see things differently... i need to have a different perspective of my life....
