Lord I often wonder what
You ever see in me
I more than often let you down
And am not what I should be
It seems it’s in the little things
That I struggle with each day
I find it hard to focus on you
And know not what to pray
I want to rise above this Lord
But fail so many times
The steps of progress that I take
Seems harder each day to climb
I lack the energy that I need
To do what I know is right
I start to stumble and lose my way
I’m just too tired to fight!
Lord I feel like screaming out‘
Are you listening to my cry?
Can you see the state I’m in?
Or have you closed your eyes?’
But then I have to remind myself
That you care more than I know
You see the turmoil that I’m in
And your love you always show
It is not you that have closed eyes
But it’s I that cannot see
I overlook your steadfast love
And your tender mercies for me
Jesus I pray you’ll come and touch me
With your love once more
And draw me deeply into yourself
To rejoice as I have before

In The Name Of God???
In name of god they pillage and destroy
And in name of god they chose to fight and die
And their enemies their enemies because
They worship different god with different laws.
When I was young a wise man said to me
That god belong to all humanity
And that god could only feel disgust and shame
When humans for their war cry use his name.
It's religion that cause the great divide
And in name of god far too many have died
They go to war and worship god in song
But the god they fight for condemn war as wrong.
And even in the twentieth century
We've yet to learn from past history
Still in god's name men go to war and die
Whilst god looks on with disapproving eye.
And in name of god they chose to fight and die
And their enemies their enemies because
They worship different god with different laws.

How Do I Praise You Lord ??
How do I praise You, Lord
When my words are so time worn?
When the only phrases left have
Of their power been shorn?
How do I praise You
When I am so often confused and lost?
How do I praise You
When I need to praise You the most?
How do I praise You Lord
How do I describe Your Amazing Grace,
When those very words
Have become so commonplace?
Do I get down on my knees
And lift my hands into the sky?
Does that give the words the power
To lift Your Name on high?
I will praise You from my heart
In a language my mind can’t comprehend.
In words that haven’t lost their power,
In phrases only You can understand.
I will praise You like the Psalmist
With words that paint a picture of Your love.
So that everyone can see
It comes only from above.
I will praise You when I am weak
Knowing it is Your Strength that makes me strong.
I will praise You when the days are short
And the nights, dark and long.
I will praise You when I am sleeping
In my dreams, I will know You are close.
When I least feel like praising You,
That is when I will praise You the most.
Now and forever to Your Glory
I will sing.
I will lift Your Name on High Lord
And, in my life, Your Truth shall reign.
When my words are so time worn?

little hills VS mountains
Treat all your problems as little hills,
on the Highway of Life, that you climb.
They may require great effort,
but it's not impossible, you'll find!
Don't let imagination,
turn the hills into mountains for you,
for you will become disheartened,
thinking, you'll never come through!
So approach your hill of trouble today,
take it one step at a time,
and, keep your eyes on Jesus,
He will give you strength for the climb!
on the Highway of Life, that you climb.
They may require great effort,
but it's not impossible, you'll find!

take it one step at a time,
and, keep your eyes on Jesus,
He will give you strength for the climb!

We Thank Thee, O God
First of all.. lets us thank HE because I'm back.... and for everthing HE has done...
I Thank you, Lord, for birds that sing,
For morning dew and bells that ring,
Children whose sticky candy fingers cling,
A button and a piece of string.
I thank you for wild flowers and trees,
For lady bugs and bumblebees,
For planes that fly the seven seas,
And mice that nibble at our cheese
I thank you for the babies small,
For the common folks that heed the call,
For men that grow so straight and tall,
And for the Christ who died for all.
I thank you for the cool of night,
For colors in the northern light,
For oceans reaching out of sight,
And for the thunder’s savage might.
I thank you for the new fallen snow,
For hearth fires warm, comforting glow,
For winds that whistle mean,
and blow, And for rooster’s timely crow
I thank you for the frost on roofs,
For frozen ground and noisy hoofs,
For fattening swine and his “Wuff Wuffs”,
And he never seems to get enough.
I thank you for the barley sheaves,
For wrens that twitter on the eaves,
For webs the busy spider weaves,
And chipmunks bouncing through the leaves
I thank you for your great rainbow,
For apple sauce and cookie dough,
For garden seeds to plant and grow,
And mother singing soft and low
Now who from my poor hands can rend,
Or who can greater riches lend?
Let me, Thy humble servant, tend,
This royal kingdom without end.
I hide my guilty head in shame,
When doubt doth dim my Saviour’s fame,
And I accept a lesser name,
Unmindful of just why He came.
I think of arguing and hate,
Of threats that could pronounce a fate.
There’s no reward for such a date,
And I would loose my thankful state.
I thank you for the things about,
As these we could not do without.
We’re healthy and vigorous and stout,
Forbid that we should ever doubt.
I thank you for the abiding part,
Where, Spirit born, we make our start,
By claiming an immortal heart.
Thus, from here on, our lives you chart,
Thank you for those to be,
And thank you for converting me.
Praise THE LORD...

I'll not be SILENT
It was time to sleep, but i couldn't. i don't know why. Im truly lost. Actually if people know my background, they will unterstand my situation. So, I took my BIBLE and began to read. The first verse that God show was...
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
Having God with me where ever I go is comforting. I know that He will watch out for me, and I realize now that He always has been there, even when I didn’t have much to do with Him. Being safe is just one aspect of always having Him near, it also means that in addition to watching out for my well being, He is there when I am faced with temptation, and then it is up to me to make the right choice. Watching over me does not mean He will keep me living right, doing that is my part of the bargain.
The second verse"
9 And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people.” Acts 18:9-10
Actually, I still have trouble speaking about my faith. Oh sure, I have this blog, but how many people know about it. I don’t advertise it too much. Well before this I decided to share with my friends about my faith, but up till this moment, I haven't started anything, except via this blog. I hesitated, and realized that my hesitation was because I was worried about what some people would think about my faith. When I got to this scripture for today, it was an awakening. If my friends had issues with it, then did I really want them as friends?

Power of Prayer
Just a simple thought that i wanna share with all......
And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25
Prayer can make great things happen, as long as you believe in what you are asking for and as long as you have forgiven those who have wronged you.
Praying is something I need work at. I tend not to ask because I feel like God is doing a pretty good job at watching out for me. If I do pray, it tends to be for others who need it more than I. Even with all that, I learned that my prayers will be helped along as long as I have forgiven people who have done me wrong.
