Be Creative

Every day is an opportunity to be creative - the canvas is your mind, the brushes and colours are your thoughts and feelings, the panorama is your story, the complete picture a work of art called, 'my life'. Be careful what you put on the canvas today - it matters."

Heal Yourself

A couple of years ago now.. I have suffered on what people would say as just psychosomatic disease..
Its a disorder having physical symptoms but originating from mental or emotional causes.

I still remember that day .. I was so sad that I wasn't able to get the promotion that I've been targeting for 3 years. I didn't receive any negative feedback it's just that they don't like me. I was so angered by it because I have prepared for it for 2 years made sure that I am qualified for it. I have mentors who told me that there was no way that I will not get it.. But I wasn't chosen.. For reasons that they alone know.. I wasn't able to sleep nor eat properly  for  days and on D day I took 5 espressos and 5 quails egg. I felt so hot and I felt that my blood is rushing to my head.. I look so flushed.. I felt so dizzy and I can't even stand. I was rushed to the ER and found out that my Blood pressure reaches 180/120 they gave sublingual every after 30 mins. but the pressure didn't drop. I had my friend call my mom to follow us in the hospital. My mom is doctor she would know what's happening.. Everybody is telling me that it's just stress.. Before that day I don't know what stress means.. I thought nothing can stress me out and its impossible for me to feel it. I am a very jolly person.. I use to say let the problem take care of itself ..I will not even think of it.. But there I was in the ER all stressed out and I even thought that I will die that day.. But I didn't.. After that day I could not go alone any longer.. I was so nervous that I might pass out anytime..  I really was able to develop nervousness and it's debilitating me.. I I suffered from that feeling for 1 1/2 years..

Until I grew tired of it.. I couldn't do the things that I used to do.. "It's time that I put an end to it." It took time for me to go back to my normal self.. I took baby steps in doing so.. I started thinking of Happy Thoughts/ Memories.. I looked at the mirror and was disgusted by what I saw.. I gained 20 pounds I was so big that I wasn't able to fit on my clothes, My skin was so oily and I look ugh.. so ugly..  They used to say that I look like a movie star... but now  ( hahaha).. not even a trace of it..
 
Before my greediness to power started.. I was a simple person who works to live not vice versa.. I used to be contented on what I have and can afford.. I was so at peace then.. That I loved sharing that wonderful feeling to everybody that I thought needed it.. And this was the key to my self healing..  I turned back to God and ask him to help me , help myself . He did.. It took a long time for me to realize that ..to believe that He could heal me..  I remember .. my mom was telling me that we all have a gift to heal..

What am I trying to drive at now, that  we have the power to fix or destroy ourselves and others. It was given to us by God. It's what we call freedom. No amount of medicines can cure us if we are the ones who inflict pain.We must at all costs start thinking positively that God has a grand plan for everyone one of us. Sure we have plans for ourselves, but is it in accordance of His plan? Why would we think of things that is sure to destroy our sanity. Let us put our trust in God . I am so ecstatic now because of this. I know that there are a lot who is continually suffering. Please feel free to message me so we could counsel each other. I still am in the process of repairing myself and in helping people heal themselves . I am also healing me.

I am slowly but surely regaining strength to make things in my life a lot more brighter. I hope you can share with me your thoughts too. Just beautiful thoughts. Let's scrap that thoughts that will help us. ok

God Uses Ordinary People to Do Extraordinary ThingsBy Robert Moment

The power of God is unlimited. God is not limited in any way by your education, economic status, race or social standing.

There is no such thing as the wrong side of the tracks with God. I think it was Jim Collins who wrote the book "Good to Great," which said, "It is a sin to be good when you can be great." The power of God is unlimited. God is not limited in any way by your education, economic status, race or social standing. Those are artificial limitations that only matter to the world, not to the Lord.

If you say, "God, I am available to You and I submit and surrender to Your will for my life," something amazing will start to happen in your life because God will use you to do His will and purpose. God will take the ordinary and turn it into the extraordinary! Develop a habit of being what God knows you can be and surrender fully to His will. Remember that His view is the long view of the world and His goals are not focused on the little picture. God can do extraordinary things using ordinary people in seemingly small ways.

There was a young girl at the turn of the century outside of Philadelphia who was crying near a small church when the pastor walked by. When he asked her what was wrong, she sobbed that there hadn't been enough room in the Sunday School class for her. Seeing her filthy clothes, the pastor guessed that she may have been turned away for other reasons. He marched her back in and found a place for her in the class. She listened and loved the Bible stories she heard each Sunday after that.

Two years later, the little girl died. When the pastor came to make final arrangements, he discovered a coin purse with her belongings. Inside the coin purse was 57 cents and a slip of paper that said, "To make the church bigger so more kids can go to the Sunday School."

The pastor told the girl's story that Sunday in church, and challenged his deacons to raise enough money to build a bigger church. The newspapers picked up the story. And a realtor offered a parcel of land worth thousands of dollars to build the church on. When told that the church couldn't afford the asking price, he offered to sell it to them for 57 cents.

It would seem impossible to build a church with 57 cents, but that didn't stop one little girl from trying to create a miracle. Today you can go to Temple Baptist church of Philadelphia and Temple University. Go visit the Sunday School building next to Good Samaritan Hospital, where there is more than enough room for everyone. In one room you will see the picture of a young girl who started it all with 57 cents. Alongside it is the picture of the Reverend Dr. Russell Conwell, who multiplied that 57 cents through countless others.

God had taken the very ordinary donation of a poor child, less than a dollar, and turned it into something extraordinary! It became the driving force that turned the heart of a landowner, motivated the revival of a church and eventually founded a University! All because an ordinary young minister made sure an ordinary young girl went to Sunday School one ordinary morning.

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
- Philippians 4:13


God always sees what is inside of us. We all have gifts, talents and opportunities that He can shape into miraculous moments. We must stop looking at what we don't have and start looking at what God can do in our lives.

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago. They


had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their

rush, with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held

a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to

reach the plane in time for their nearly missed boarding.

ALL BUT ONE !!!
He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings, and experienced a twinge of
compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned.
He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they
arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the
terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor.
He was glad he did.


The 16-year-old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in
frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled
about her, no one stopping and no one to care for her plight.


The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and
helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and
bruised; these he set aside in another basket.

When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, 'Here, please take this $40 for the
damage we did. Are you okay?' She nodded through her tears.. He continued on with, 'I hope we
didn't spoil your day too badly.'

As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, 'Mister. ...' He
paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes.


She continued, 'Are you Jesus?'
He stopped in mid-stride, and he wondered. Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight
with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: 'Are you Jesus?' Do people mistake you for
Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as
we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace.


If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply
quoting Scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day.
You are the apple of His eye even though we, too, have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what He
was doing and picked you and me up on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged
fruit.


Please share this, if you feel led to do so.

Sometimes we just take things for granted, when we really
need to be sharing what we know...Thanks.

May all your Prayers be answered.


A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.

The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God.

However, to determine whose prayers should be most effective, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food.

The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island and boarded the ship with his wife.

Since none of the other man’s prayers had been answered, he considered him unworthy to receive God's blessings, so he decided to leave the second man on the island.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?"

"My blessings are a result of my faith and prayers, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so I figured he does not deserve anything."

"You are sorely mistaken, and are in great debt to him.”

“How’s that?” the first man asked.
It was his great faith that invoked the blessings, and he prayed that all your prayers might be answered."

Are our blessings the fruits of our prayers and work alone, or of those of another praying for us? What (and who) are you praying for?

With obedience come blessings. May all your righteous prayers be answered.
