Intimacy with God
Paul wrote to Timothy in
2 Timothy 4:16-17 (New International Version)
16At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. 17But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth.
As with Paul, so it is with us. There is really only One we can rely on with the confidence that we will never be forsaken. So I am drawn to His faithfulness and love for me. The more I admit my need for intimacy with the Lord, the more i desire HIml the more I desire Him the deeper my intimacy.

Beatitudes -- business view
Adopted from "Doing God's Business", by Paul Stevens
Blessed are the poor in spirit -- those who think much of God and others, and little of themselves
Blessed are those who mourn -- who admit when they are wrong and grieve for sin in persons and organizations
Blessed are those who yield rights for the betterment of others -- the meek shall inherit the earth
Blessed are those who passionately desire that the right thing be done -- hungering and thirsting for righteousness
Blessed are the merciful -- those who show kindess and grace when others let thme down
Blessed are the pure in heart -- those who cultivate "a single eye" and focus all their life on God and God's kingdom
Blessed are the peacemakers -- those who bring together factions and people, building community among those who are at odds with one another
Blessed are those who "take" the pain of doing the right thing -- who are persecuted because of righteousness

Success
You can use most any measure
When you're speaking of 'Success'.
You can measure it in fancy home,
Expensive car or dress.
But....the measure of your REAL success
Is the one you can not spend.
It's the way your kids describe YOU
When they're speaking to a friend!

One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

am I lovely and caring?
recently my friend introduced me to some tests on Facebook... and since i am free so i took a try... and the result surprised me....What do you think?
the test is called "what type of woman are you?"
my result is ...
You are lovely and caring. You help others and spread out a lot of sympathy. Your life aim maybe is to serve the people. But your weakness is that you forget about yourself, your own needs. All your time is hold back for your friends and family. You are always there for people in trouble. Ready for any emergency. You make a lot of sacrifices just to be a good human.
But every woman has her needs, her longings and a destiny. Don't loose yourself in work or curing other people's souls. You will have your own problems in your life.
Another problem is that you don't say your opinion when it's right and important to say it. People trample onto your soul if you are always so kind and lovely and helpful. They will play on you.
Though you should try to relax more and enjoy your life, you should not loose the gift that was given to you to help others . Not everyone is created this way... You are uniqe and rare!
