CREATOR and Creation

Ever since I started photography as my hobby, I have always been on a look out for things to take. When I look at the sky, I marvel at how the clouds form all kinds of shapes and everyday the sky is different. In the evening, the sky is the most gorgeous! I have the privilege of seeing the sun set every single day. And let me tell you, it's beautiful! There are days where the sun hung in the sky like a huge golden-fiery ball. It is even better when there is sun after the rain, there will be light rays streaming forth from behind the clouds.

When I look at all these things, I am assured that all these did not come about with a "Bang" but there is a Creator that through His Word, the world was formed and all there is within it.

Yesterday, I witnessed together with my family something very spectacular. I have never seen such a sight before. I was looking out of the window, around 7 when the sun was already behind the trees, when all of a sudden, thick and faded rays began to appear in the sky. At first they were very blur - hardly could be seen. Immediately I grabbed my camera. Unfortunately the camera could not capture the unusual sight because they were not clear. So I waited. Hoping that they would get brighter and clearer. And sure enough they did!! =)

The rays became more and more visible and clear! So visible that my camera was able to capture the red rays! In addition to that, the sky had different shades of colors.

I was glad to be able to see the beautiful scene. I bet most people did not notice!

Here's a picture of it!

God is AWESOME!!

Have a blessed Friday and wishing all of you a wonderful weekend!

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL QUOTE!

I just love quotes!! They are short and simple, yet they are so meaningful! I love notebooks, or anything that contains quotes on each page. I would read every quote and remember it so that I can use it next time. However as much as I have read so many different types of quotes, only a few are worth remembering, like this one:

"WHEN WE LONG FOR LIFE WITHOUT DIFFICULTIES, REMIND OURSELVES THAT OAKS GROW STRONG IN CONTRARY WINDS, AND DIAMONDS ARE MADE UNDER PRESSURE"

Beautiful quote! =)

FEAR AND WORRY

Fear is a poor chisel for carving out tomorrow! When we view our future from a position of fear or worry, we are viewing it in an inaccurate and incorrect view. instead, we should view our future from a point of faith.

An old Swedish proverb says, "Worry gives a small thing a big shadow." A simple definition of worry is: the misuse of the creative imagination that God has placed within each of us. Whenever fear arises in our minds, we should oppose fear with faith. Never succumb to the feeling of fear or weariness that the enemy plants in your mind.

Where does the word "worry" derive from?? Check this out. The word worry derives from an Anglo-Saxon term meaning "to strangle" or "to choke off". There is no question that worry and fear do choke off the creative flow from God. The less you worry, the more ideas, insight, and revelation you will have.

Worry is a route that leads from somewhere to nowhere. Never ever let it direct your life.

In Psalms 55:22 the Bible states, " Cast your burdens upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you." I absolutely love this quote when I read, " Never respond out of fear, and never fear to respond."

Lastly, don't worry and don't fear. Instead take your worry to the Lord, "casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you." ( 1 Peter 5:7)

Have a blessed week and Jesus loves!! =)

GOOD FRIDAY

Wishing all of you a

BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY

We thank God that He hath sent His Son, Jesus to die for our sins. He carried upon his back our sins to the cross, and upon that old rugged cross, our sins were crucified!

It is "good" Friday because we now have eternal life with Christ!! We were once dead, but through Christ, we LIVE!!

- For God so loved the world that He gave His own and only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have ETERNAL life!! John 3:16

- In Him we have Life!

- Greater love hath no man than this, than to lay down His life for His friends!

I LOVE YOU

A woman came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry.

Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?", they asked.

"No", she said. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!!!!!!"

When I was done reading this story, it brought me back to the story of King Solomon, the wisest man ever lived. When he was crowned as king, the Lord appeared to him in the night saying, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."....Solomon answered the Lord saying, ".......Now O Lord my God, you have made me your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties.....So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong...

" The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this. So God said to him, "Since you have asked for this and not long life or wealth for yourself....I will do what you have asked. I will give you a wise and discerning heart..Moreover I will give you what you have not asked for - both riches and honor..."

The Bible speaks much of and emphasizes greatly on the subject - LOVE. Love is indeed the most powerful force in the world. Of the three - faith, hope, and love - Paul writes that Love is the greatest. Which of the three would you choose? Mr. Love? Mr. Wealth or Mr. Success.

would definitely choose LOVE! Even if I do not have all the money or be successful, I would greatly desire to have a peaceful- loving family. And I thank God that I already have it!! =)

There will always be success and wealth where love is, simply because when you love others, God will certainly bless you. The two most important commnandments in the Bible is - Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength. And the second commandment is - Love thy neighour as yourself. God does not emphasize on giving money or material things to your neighour (enemy) but only one thing - LOVE.

God is love, but love is not God -

CHOCOLATE EVERYWHERE!!!

- A good chocolate does not melt in the hand but in the mouth -

Chocolate has been a favorite by many around the world, well to scale it down, I study in a school where most of the students are "chocolate-lovers!!" They can love all chocolates, they eat every chocolate, and they pray for more chocolates. =)

You might be thinking. why a subject on chocolate...well it all started when I visited one of Malaysia's best selling chocolate factory - the Beryl's Chocolate Factory, located in Sri Kembangan on the 6th of March. It was a school field trip, and therefore compulsory.

I did enjoy myself, thought the tour was short. I had a view on how chocolate was made right from the cocoa seed, to the cleaning and to the packaging into lovely, bright wrappers and boxes. In addition to that, I also learned the history of chocolate, the age when chocolate begin, and how chocolate was used during the ancient times. To sum it all up, it was - INTERESTING. That's the word for it.

Pictures are below. Enjoy, chocolate-lovers..=)

IS YOUR LIVING IN VAIN?

It was a cold winter's day that Sunday. The parking lot to the church was filling up quickly. I noticed as I got out of my car that fellow church members were whispering among themselves as they walked to the church. As I got closer I saw a man leaned up against the wall outside the church. He was almost laying down as if he was asleep. He had on a long trench coat that was almost in shreds and a hat topped his head, pulled down so you could not see his face. He wore shoes that looked 30 years old, too small for his feet with holes all over them, his toes stuck out. I assumed this man was homeless and asleep, so I walked on by through the doors of the church. We all fellowshipped for a few minutes, and someone brought up the man laying outside. People snickered and gossiped but no one bothered to ask him to come in, including me. A few moments later church began. We all waited for the Preacher to take his place and to give us the Word, when the doors to the church opened. In came the homeless man walking down the aisle with his head down. People gasped and whispered and made faces. He made his way down the aisle and up onto the pulpit he took off his hat and coat. My heart sank. There stood our preacher ... he was the "homeless man."

No one said a word.

The preacher took his Bible and laid it on the stand. "Folks I don't think I have to tell you what I am preaching about today." Then he started singing the words to this song. "If I can help somebody as I pass along. If I can cheer somebody with a word or song. If I can show somebody that he's traveling wrong. Then my living shall not be in vain."

"IS YOUR LIVING IN VAIN?"

Think about it!!
