AWESOME GOD!!!

First of all, my GOD! Yes HIM! I'm not making an expression and I don't even use that expression. I'm just in awe of GOD! Everything about HIM! I am so in love with HIM!

I'm about to leave now for Naga. 2 more hours and we'll be off but I should be early for where our bus will pick us up. I don't want to make a bad impression when it comes to punctuality. I want to be an hour early. Winning souls is investing time and effort. I had a busy week. Now, I'll be away for a week again. Thank you for the comments. My friends, I will catch up soon.

Anyway, please don't forget to pray for our safe trip. For everything to go well with the trip, the driver, the bus and the hotel. Please pray for ELISHA RANDEE VARGAS! We claim GOD'S VICTORY upon her life!

This is such a great day! It's the so-called "Valentine's Day" here. I'd rather call it Hearts' Day. Anyway, I do not need expensive stuffs or whatnots. Being able to hear my Cody's voice inspite of the 8000-mile relationship is awesome. We're almost a year now as a couple. A year of friendship and LOVE. Hearing my Cody pray and calling our GOD awesome is just so fleeting for me. Yeah we always pray whenever we talk. It's something that I couldn't just let go. Such a beautiful day! More beautiful days to come. Life is so beautiful to waste on not-so-good things and memories.

ENJOY YOUR LIFE!

If anyone of you is fasting or gifted with the heart of intercession, please pray for Elisha Randee Vargas. Both of us will go to Naga tomorrow evening - 22 hours from now.

I can smell VICTORY! Can't you? Yes GOD'S VICTORY!!!

Elisha will be competing in Editorial Writing for the National Schools Press Conference next week. Please pray for the entire week this coming week. February 16-20. We need your prayers. Thank you. GOD has provided the fees, lodging and everything. I am certain that HE will provide VICTORY for HIS Name according to HIS Perfect Will.

I won't be able to blog the whole week from February 15-21. I was kind of absent this week and then next week. Well, GOD did a major surgery in my heart. I am so energized!

I had a busy week. Next week will be busy, as well, but it would be nice to have a vacation. Well, I believe it's not a vacation as I will be there for a reason - for GOD's Perfect Purpose.

WITH GOD'S HELP AND REVERENCE, LET US ALL UNITE TO ADVANCE GOD'S KINGDOM! LET HIS KINGDOM COME!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't forget to put ELISHA RANDEE VARGAS on your prayer list. Thank you.

Friday Funnies

Friday Funnies is hosted by my dear friend, Kim of Homesteader's Heart

Acts 2:38

A woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church
services , when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in
the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled: 'Stop! Acts 2:38!'
(Repent and be Baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ , so that your
sins may be forgiven.)

The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police
and explained what she had done.

As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar:
'Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a
scripture to you.'

'Scripture?' replied the burglar. 'She said she had an Ax and Two 38s!'

Send this to someone who needs a laugh today and remember: Knowing
scripture can save your life - in more ways than one!

In Christ,
Heather

Set Apart

Yesterday, Karen and I met with our long-ago guy friend. He is a common friend. We met him when all of us were still studying in Baguio.

We were eating at a fastfood restaurant when Karen asked him why he doesn't want to go abroad. Maybe you're wondering where am I getting with this. Okay, let's start at the top. Our friend, Erik, is a recruiting agent for graduates of any course who would like to work and study in the UK. Karen suddenly asked why wouldn't Erik go abroad, too. He said he wants to stay here in the Philippines. Same as me, I love my country. I would not go abroad just to earn money. My parents instilled that in me. I don't have anything against migrating to other countries because I am in love with an American man. Although, I have a different reason. I love him.

Anyway...I was pondering on Karen's question. Before we left the restaurant, I asked him, "How will it be easy to recruit others to go abroad if you don't even believe in going abroad?" He was speechless. Okay, I must be unfair and caught him off-guard. It was a question that lingered in my mind til now.

Just like in our spiritual lives, if we ourselves do not believe the truth we are sharing, how can we win souls? If we ourselves do not even have sound doctrine, how will we share the Truth? If we, Christians, aren't united, how will we win others for GOD?

We must always have a sound doctrine, an intimate relationship with GOD and a continuous growth in character. No complacency allowed.

What you say should be seen through your actions. If you just do the talk-talk and no actions, it is useless. Hypocrisy is meaningless. It is difficult to win souls for CHRIST if they do not see what you are sharing in you.

I have learned to be skeptic and to test the spirits (Thanks to Cody).

1 John 4:1
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Also, I have learned that not because someone says he/she is a Christian means he/she is living a life in the Perfect Will of GOD. Sadly, it has become just a fad now. It has become a trademark. Although we are all subjected to committing mistakes, we should always watch every step we make and every word we say. Think before speaking/acting. I've heard others say, "Oh humans are not perfect..." Well, JESUS CHRIST died for you. Isn't that reason enough to strive to perfection? Don't you desire to hear the words from our FATHER, "Well done, good and faithful servant?"

Remember, we are GOD's mirrors of HIS glory. Whatever good others see in us, all the glory goes back to GOD alone. BUT, we all stand corrected. Not everything we say is right that's why it is good to have that sound doctrine, intimate relationship with GOD and continuous growth in character. Test the spirits.

I have met people personally who say they are Christians but their actions do not say so. A shoutout to all Christians: PLEASE give our FATHER the glory HE deserves!

ROMANS 6

Be a real friend. Love unconditionally. Be real to others. Do not use GOD's Name in vain. (This applies to everything) Teach what you do. Examine yourselves honestly all the time. Focus on GOD's Will not on your selfish wants. Please do not put our FATHER'S Name to shame.

First LOVE Never Dies

Yes it is Hearts' Day again. One of the most used 'phrase' in the news is "First Love Never Dies"

Some reporters did a survey on Filipinos asking them if "First Love Never Dies" is real.

As I was listening to their answers, I said loudly, "Of course first love never dies because GOD is our First Love."

This is why my header is changed from "GOD's Little Miracle Girl" to "GOD is our First Love"

This is my post. hehehe! As simple as that!

DON'T FORGET:

After that, do not forget to:
GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD!!!

Our GOD who is a Rewarder will:

And if it seems like you're not feeling GOD's love:

Hypocrisy

"Do not teach others how to be strong if you can't be strong with your teachings; do not teach others how to be a friend if you can't be a real friend; do not teach others how to love if you can't give true love. Why? Because that's hypocrisy. You should be a living testimony of GOD's glory, not a stumbling block." ~Matthias Joseph Servis

With All Humility

I am so overwhelmed by the overflowing of visits in my blog even if I've been out for a couple of days. Thank you for my faithful readers. You are all a blessing to me. Thank you for the new subscribers and followers of my blog. You are all very much appreciated by me.

"Others have the habit of just taking when others couldn't even give because they have nothing. You'll never know the blessing in giving if you don't do it. Count your blessings and share them. Don't be a habitual taker. They say, give until it hurts. I'd say, give until you love giving. Don't be satisfied with being blessed. Be a blessing, as well. Before anyone else, start with your family. Didn't GOD give HIS Son for us?" ~Anonymous

Thank you for giving without asking for anything in return, my dear friends!

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!

HE gave me the patience to wait and not worry about my computer. HE changed my heart in patience and discernment. HE changed my heart in prayer, as well. GOD IS MY EVERY PERFECT THING! HE IS SO AMAZING! I GIVE ALL THE PRAISES, GLORY, HONOR AND POWER TO OUR ALMIGHTY FATHER!!!

A message I received today:

GRACE is simply God's power coming down to us, enabling us to do things we can never do on your own & to do them without struggling. May God Bless US. ~Ate Cathy

~~~Below is a blogpost I made last Monday.

It’s February 9, 2008 – my dad’s birthday. Still no internet. I am just writing a blogpost in my MS Word. The days without internet have given me time for my family and time to catch up with my reading. Oh yes I have new books! hehehe! To check out my new book, go see my review at my other blog. Oh yes I am advertising my other blog. hahaha! Just kidding!

Anyway, some updates in my life. I am never worried about losing my internet anymore although it can get weird with the hotline agents since I don’t want to be paying what I’m not using. GOD is good because HE gave me a friend who is my computer technician who can do services for me for free. hehehe! I am so ecstatic that my sisters came home for my dad’s birthday for the weekend. An investment that we will cherish forever. My dad is very happy, as well.

Also, I am very excited for the NSPC. Please pray for Elisha. We claim GOD’s Victory but of course, let HIS Will be done. Please pray for souls to be won there. I am also excited for the HS night since I was the one who asked for the dessert. hehehe! Yes I am a dessert person. We will have chocolate mousse. I am still thinking what to wear though. Any suggestions?

So many revelations still. I will share some of them.

May the song within you which sings for eternity, sing loudly. Heed the songs of heaven. Dismiss the songs of earth. May the FATHER quiet the voices around you which tell you to settle for less than what HE promises. ~Max Lucado

And I’d love to share this too:

by Dennis and Barbara Rainey

The Best and Worst of Times (Part Two)
Ecclesiastes 12:13
The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments.

The doctors went to work on Barbara while Christians across the country prayed. Her heart beat so quickly (200-300 beats per minute) that it was not filling with blood, and her blood pressure went down. This low pressure could harm the baby if it continued.
The doctor made a quick decision. Using electric shock, he successfully reduced her heart rate to 75 beats per minute. Afterward, through tears, we gave thanks for God's intervention in saving both Barbara and the baby.
We talked quite a bit after that terrifying event. Often we think we are in control. We think we can plan our lives. We struggle over so many insignificant things, but we find ourselves asking, "What really matters?"
In the midst of these best and worst of times, a certain book reached us like a beacon in the darkness. It's a book that rips away the veil of idealism about life. It deals with purpose and significance. It gives meaning to life's storms, to prosperity, to our search for security.
The book? Ecclesiastes.
In its pages Solomon paints the paradoxes of life better than Charles Dickens ever dreamed. Whether we're experiencing the best or worst of times, God must be our reference point (see Eccles. 12:13, above). If not, then life is emptiness-void of meaning.
As I drove away from the hospital later that afternoon, I reflected on how different people respond to crisis situations. And I wondered, What is their reference point for a life and death situation? Where do they find meaning? How do they make sense out of suffering?
That night, as I put our five children to bed, we crowded together and prayed. Benjamin, then eight, prayed as only a child can: "Father, we give thanks that Mommy got sick 'cause we know You want us to give thanks in everything...and we give thanks that she's okay, too."
He prayed with childlike faith, and a mature perspective. He understood how God wants us to respond in the best and worst of times. Sometimes it takes a child's faith in God to remind us, doesn't it?
Prayer:
That you would learn to fear God and that He would be your reference point in the best and worst of times.
Discuss: For what tribulations can you thank God today?

I am super blessed financially and I can hardly wait to achieve my dreams which were given by my Dream Giver and will only be achieved through HIM – my Promise Keeper. According to HIS Perfect Will.

One of my closest and loyal friends for more than 10 years now will be dedicating her daughter soon. Thank GOD that will be after my salary pay. hehehe! And no schedule conflict. Also, I am very excited because GOD has been helping me do my calling by drawing the people to me. Good thing I have a flexible work schedule. February will be a busy month – love month, as they say. For me, it’s investment time! Investment is one of my favorite words now. As what Heather Armstrong sent me…

We too often love things and use people when we should be using things and loving people. ~ Author Unknown

GOD has made me focus more on HIM without the internet. Awesome! I can use some vacation. Another vacation week will be next week. hehehe!

Before all of these happened, I had a problem with my identity as GOD’s child. Yesterday at church service, I thought to myself, “Apart from GOD, I am nothing. But because of HIM, I am a princess. A princess who is GOD’s holy ground.

So I refuse to displease HIM – my very loving, faithful and perfect FATHER!

A princess after GOD’s own heart – I can still commit unintentional mistakes but of course, I can watch every step I make to prevent those mistakes. I am not perfect but I want to focus on what JESUS did for me on the Cross – that will be my drive to holiness!

GOD can do the most impossible things and I stand on HIS Promises.

Since I was doubting my identity in CHRIST, GOD assured me that HE loves me...



My morning devotions for today (not full article)…

Not Guilty

Read Leviticus 5:14-19

We all both unintentionally and intentionally wrong GOD and others. But JESUS CHRIST bought our forgiveness on the cross. Offer HIM the sacrifice of confession, and you’ll be covered for overlooking the things you should have done and the things you ought not have. Then pour out the sacrifice of praise. Present the sacrifice of service, helping others in GOD’s name, for “love covers over a multitude of sins” (1 Peter 4:8). Despair has no place here; our advocate perfectly kept even the hidden laws.

I haven’t posted yet the sermons that moved me. Soon.

I am so excited with GOD’s Promise in my lovelife. What GOD wills, no man can break. I am destined to be victorious in all aspects of my life because my DAD wants the best for me. I will never think otherwise. My only desire is to put GOD as number One in my life. Everything else will follow. I am so joyful that GOD gave me a soulmate who feels and thinks the same towards our FATHER.

GOD revived me. GOD refreshed me. Thank GOD for everything!

This is quite a long post. Had to catch up. hahaha! Hope you enjoyed reading. I miss my blog and my Blogger friends and faithful readers. Thank you for your faithfulness.
