Love this song

I Won't Let You Go - James Morrison

When it's black
Take a little time to hold yourself
Take a little time to feel around
Before it's gone

You won't let go
But you still keep on falling down
Remember how you saved me now
From all of my wrongs, yeah

If there's love just feel it
If there's life we'll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go

Say those words
Say those words like there's nothing else
Close your eyes and you might believe
That there is some way out, yeah

Open up
Open up your heart to me now
Let it all come pouring out
There's nothing I can't take

If there's love just feel it
And if there's life we'll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go

If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go

And if you feel the fading of the light
And you're too weak to carry on the fight
And all your friends that you count on have disappeared
I'll be here, not gone, forever, holding on, oh

If there's love just feel it
And if there's life we'll see it
This is no time to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go

If your sky is falling
Just take my hand and hold it
You don't have to be alone, alone, yeah
I won't let you go

I won't let you go
I won't let
I won't let you go, no
I won't let
I won't let you go Won't let you go

Human Beings not Human Doings - Rick Warren

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 17 Aug 2012 06:14:00 +0000

This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California.

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said: People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity.

We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven. One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.

I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore.

Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:

If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.'

But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life. Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder.

For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit. We made no major purchases.

Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better.

God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.

Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.

Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.

Painful moments, TRUST GOD.

Every moment, THANK GOD..

Why go to Church ?

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:24:00 +0000

Why go to Church?

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this!
If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.
If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.

But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today.

Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"

When you are DOWN to nothing... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible!

Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!"

All right, now that you're done reading, send it on!
I think everyone should read this!

"When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus, could you get that for me?”

What women do at home everyday

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:53:00 +0000

Something interesting to share...

A man came home from work and found his 3 children outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?.. ''Yes," was his incredulous reply.. She answered,. 'Well, today I didn't do it. :)

The Toilet Joke..LOL

OMG !!!!! I was in the public toilets and had just sat down, a voice from the next cubicle said "Hi !, how are you ?" Embarrassed, I said, "I'm doing fine". The voice said "So what are you up to ?". I said, "Just doing the same as you, sitting here !". From next door, "Can I come over?". Annoyed, I said " rather busy right now". The voice said, "Listen, i will have to call you back, there's an idiot next door answering all my questions"

Hair cut and bible characters

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 11:10:00 +0000

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he'd make a deal: 'You bring your grades up from a C to a B average,
study your Bible a little, and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car.'

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, 'Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut.

The boy said, 'You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair...and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.'

Your going to love the Dad's reply:

6 PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 12:19:00 +0000

6 PRINCIPLES OF LIFE

No point using limited life to chase unlimited money.

No point earning so much money you cannot live to spend it.
Money is not yours until you spend it.
When you are young, you use your health to chase your wealth; when you are old, you use your wealth to buy back your health. Difference is that, it is too late.
How happy a man is, is not how much he has but how little he needs.
No point working so hard to provide for the people you have no time to spend with.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A wise man once sat in the audience and cracked a joke.. all of them laughed
like crazy..

After a moment he cracked the same joke again & a little less people laughed
this time...

He cracked the same one again & no one laughed !!!

Then he smiled and said ''when you can't laugh on the same joke again &
again then why do you keep crying over the same thing over & over again''
FORGET the past and MOVE ON .........

Alone I can say, but together we can shout. Alone I can smile, but together we can laugh.
Alone I can enjoy, but together we can celebrate!

The reality in Kathmandu, Nepal. Live in junk

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 00:21:00 +0000

Received this email from a friend.. it's heart breaking to see....

CLUTCHING each other close, these two brothers cling to the very edge of survival on the fringes of a filthy rubbish dump

This stark image, taken in Kathmandu, Nepal, has come top in the Environmental Photographer Of The Year competition. Wearing just a filthy jumper the youngest lad seeks a moment's respite from his dismal surroundings in the arms of his elder sibling.The pair – unwashed and caked in grime – are forced to scour the stinking site day-in day-out to unearth anything they can resell for money.

It's a dreadful existence barely comprehensible to most in the Western World. And one that touched Hong Kong-based photographer Chan Kwok Hung deeply. He said: ""The photo was taken in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and is of two children who lived nearby to the junkyard with their grandmother. Every day they searched the junkyard for something useful that they can resell for money so they can buy food. If they don't find anything their grandmother blamed them seriously."

The snapper come top in the competition which received 10,000 entries from 105 nations. And he's hopeful it can make a difference. “I'm so proud that I am the winner of the Environmental Photographer of the Year Competition,” he said. "This award is very important and meaningful to me because I can share my photo to the world."

The judges heaped praise on Chan for the way he depicted the effect on humans environmental damage causes. "This is a very graphic image that captures the human impact of homelessness," said judge and Chairman of the UK Environmental Agency, Lord Smith.

Elsewhere among the winning, runner-up and highly commended entries include further frames that show the stark reality the impact industry has on the environment.

Atheist, Faith, Light, Darkness, Hot Cold, God, exist

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 03:17:00 +0000

Interesting Conversation

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has
with GOD , the ALMIGHTY . He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . ..

Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD Good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent )

Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
Student : From . . . GOD . . .
Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)

Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So, who Created them ?

(Student ha d no answer)

Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD ?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD ?
Student : No , sir.
Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD , Tasted your GOD , Smelt your GOD ? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM ?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith .
Professor : Yes , Faith . And that is the Problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor : Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor : Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn't.

(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )

Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.

There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.

(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .

But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.
You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD . You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.

Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.

To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a Monkey?
Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going )

Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor. Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?

Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?

(The Class was in Uproar )

Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke out into Laughter )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . ..

No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?

(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith , son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH . That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

NB:

I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so .. .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH .

That student was Albert Einstein .

When we lost hope, how to seek help overcome depression

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:27:00 +0000

This story is my own personal encounter. i would like to share to those who thinks there are in the hopeless situation in their life... lost faith and hope in life....... i hope my story can inspire you and change your life perspective.

Please bear with me with my writing skill, i am not good in writing and i am sure i have made some grammer mistakes.. if you have question please feel free to leave a comment.

How i climbed back from hopelessness to life that full of hopes and future

The story started way back in 2003 when i decided to free myself from the employment regime after under employment for donkey years.

What encouraged me to make a change?
1. I had been wanting to get out of my homeland - Malaysia , i felt sick and tired of the way i lived, the political nonsense and family problems back then.
2. My ego told me i have the capability to excel on my own and many friends have faith in me that i can do well.

After all the serious considerations... off i went to pursue... the roller coaster of my life journey....

I was in sales and marketing field for more than 10 years, was briefly in accounting field for about 1 year and later found out that accounting isn't really something that suitable for me so i switched to sales and marketing which i received a lot of supports from my friends they all agreed that sales and marketing field is more suitable for me as i can really talk a lot and also to them for me being in the accounting field is a waste of my time and talent.

I was brought up in a financially not not sound family,being the only child in the family i have been trained to be very independent since my teenage, i started to work part-time at a local newspaper recycle factory after school and weekend to earn some tiny income to help out when i was around 13 years old back then. My dad had been heavily hit by the 80s recession, he was out of job for many years,the only income that we had was from mum's tiny income working as nanny. I worked at KFC after school on Friday and also Saturday and Sunday for my tuition fees as my parents couldn't afford to pay for me when i was 17 and 18. Unlike others their tuition fees had been taken care of by their parents.

I still remember having to envy my friends and cousins when they have their new clothes for Chinese New Year and also new school uniform. How i wish i could have a least a piece of new school uniform as i can only get those unwanted old clothes and old yellowish school uniforms that passed down from my cousins.
I felt very inferior because i was almost the only one who wore the 'yellowish' supposedly to be white school uniform and others were wearing sparking white uniform.
During that period of time i have experienced dad's creditors' harassment..the creditors shouting and knocking on our door in the middle of the night to ask for money, it was really embarrassing as the whole neighbourhood knows what's happening.And i also the tasted what HUNGER is as there was no food left or money in the house, we were at the dire straits. thanks to the kind provisions from my aunt and grandma, she lent some money to mum to help us to at least have some food to eat.I really very thankful for the kindness of them.
I felt very inferior during my childhood because my family was basically discriminated by the relatives of my mum side simply because we were not well to do.The favouritism from the adults were so obvious that those good food and toys are only for their children, they can go to the shopping mall and i was not allowed to follow.

Due to those bad experiences that i had during my childhood i had developed a very strong character and I told myself i have to do well in life so that me and my family will not be discriminated by others anymore.

Finally, i have finished my study and got my first job as accounts clerk in a property development company, i was consider very lucky to get a considerably good pay first job but after working for about 6 months i felt bored because there were not much to do in that job so started to consider a career switch, choosing between giving it a go to try out sales and marketing job or go back to accounting line.. I went back to accounting line to give it another go. I was lucky again to get another job offer which offered me a even better salary package, i worked hard and my work was appreciated by my superiors and i got my early confirmation and increment in a month time which the probation period suppose to be 3 months. After working there for about a year i realized that i wasn't doing a real accounting job i was just doing a general clerk's job doing general stuff like issue cheques and i learn nothing there. I decided to give sales line a go, but the set back was i have no previous sales and marketing experience nor academic qualification related to sales and marketing, but i kept trying and finally i got a good pay sales job in an IT firm. I felt very proud because my pay was better than those overseas graduates.

That's how my sales career started. I received a lot of praises and recognitions from my previous employers but i think i deserved it because i worked really really hard, i worked during public holidays and weekend. i had the momentum of climbing higher and higher at the corporate ladder.

I was lucky enough to join a cosmetic company that offers incentive tour, incentive as in if you achieved the given target set by the company you will be entitled a free trip together with the customers that achieve their target.That year the incentive tour to Europe! and i made it! it was so surreal! i couldn't believe it until i really set my foot on the Rome Airport.We went to Rome, Venice, Florence, Milan, Lucern, Zurich and Paris.I felt in love with Europe deeply and after came back from the trip i have been dreaming about living in Europe and i don't know when i can go again.

In 2003 i have made a very drastic decision by quitting my job and go to the UK to see if i will have any chance settling there,i went there for one month but didn't manage to get something happen there,with disappointment i went back to KL and started a new job which promised me that i can have full control of the brand that i manage. At the same time my ex-employer was trying very hard to ask me to rejoin them and offered me a promotion and increment but i declined the offer because i don't want to be a puppet of the management, i want to do a brand that fully under my control. Unfortunately after joining the new company when i turned up for work only i was told that there were some changes in the management and asked me to be patient they will slowly reward me with what they have promised me previously. After 3 months there i knew the management is in a mess and i don't want to waste further of my time there,i told myself 'enough is enough' i don't want to be trapped in the rat race for the rest of my life, i want to do something on my own. I was very determined to give it a go,even if i fail at least i have tried and what came into my mind was "I Rather Die Trying Than Die Standing".With the full enthusiasm and immaturity.. i really came out without any proper plan like 'chicken without head'.
Since then i have been trying out so called different 'opportunities' and was struggled to meet my ends meet... Well.. that's how we learn to be wiser through our immaturity.

The 'mishap' didn't stop there.In 2004 Christmas Eve, this is the day where everything started to change for worse.....

My dad who was a chain smoker had severe pain near his chest area, it was so painful till he couldn't even move and sat there for few hours, the pain only starting to ease after 3 jabs of pain killers and he was then hospitalized for 2 weeks due to pneumonia. During his admission i had to go to the hospital few times a day as me and mum have to bring food to dad,dad was on oxygen and this is his first ever hospitalisation in his life. And when we thought that was the worst that can happened the ward that dad stayed felt the building was shaking... everyone needs to be evacuated..and dad was forced to run without oxygen tank or wheelchair as they were running out of 'stock'. Without the oxygen assist dad was nearly out of breath, i was so worried, thank God we managed to get to the assembly area and dad got the oxygen mask back on again. After the drama only we found out the quake was caused by the 2004 Tsutnami that claimed thousands of lives.

After 2 weeks of monitoring and tests, there were no trace of TB or lung cancer which was a big relief to us and he was discharged finally.He didn't really feel well after he discharged from the hospital, he kept complaining that he felt some kind of irritation near his lung area to the extend that he wept, my heart sank when i saw dad shed his tear,this is the first time in my life i saw him cry...dad is a very tough guy, he had been a builder for 40 over years, he could stand the nail pierced into his toe and bleed,i couldn't imagine the torture that brought him to his tears.He was home for about 1 month while waiting for the inefficient government hospital's CT Scan report, finally the report arrived, guess what? it shows 3/4 of my dad's lung was filled with fluid!

We admitted him immediately to another government pulmonary specialist and he was there for 1 month for treatment, the fluid that drained out from his lung was those stinking pus and it was 6L altogether!

During my dad's stay in hospital that's how my life fell apart, i had no income at all and had been survived on credit card advance, until no more credit left in my credit card, my phone line, pay tv and mobile phone was cut off. It was a total distraught!

At that moment i felt physically and mentally very tired even had a thought of ending my life. While i was in the despair suddenly God sent me angels! one day a good friend of mine came to my house and handed me an envelop and it was the thing that i need to most - CASH! i couldn't hold my tears any longer.
And another angel that God sent me was another friend who i just got to know him for few months, we got to know each other when we were so called colleague when i was doing freelance for an ISO company, he gave me the deal that he secured and asked me to go to the client's place to get the agreement signed and let me claim the commission that worth RM5000, at first i was reluctant to take the offer because i was those kind of person who doesn't like to count on others, but he told me he already discussed with his wife and i am in need more than them, he insisted and i accepted the offer eventually.
I was also invited by him to his church for Easter Celebration,i felt my burden was lifted of my shoulder as the wept like a broken levy and immediately i accepted Jesus as my personal Lord and Savior. I felt the peace and comfort that i have never had before, the feeling was undescribable. Thank God dad was recovering quite well.

My financial situation got worse, i sold my car and i went into depression, i distant myself from friends until one day a friend from my then church offered me her help, she drove me to the church for counseling, drove me around to where ever i needed to go. her unconditional love opens up my heart. I was a person with strong character back then who doesn't like to accept help from others. Having said that my husband (my boyfriend back then) had sacrificed a lot for me too, he was always there by my side but there were certain things that he wasn't able to help out due to his situation then.

When you are at the lowest point of your life usually you will come across a lot of jokers who likes to tell you what you should do and blah..blah..blah.. instead of trying to understand how you feel inside, i know what they said are with good intention but they just don't understand people in that situation doesn't like to be judged, luckily i have a group of church friends that never judge me and tell me what i should do , instead they keep praying for me and comforting me. Sometimes in life the one who loves us the most or we love the most can be those who hurts us the most. (they don't do that intentionally, they do so because they care).

A couple of friends saw me and they couldn't believe what they saw, they have never seen that down before, i have lost almost all my self esteem, and a friend kept encouraging me and reminding me "You can lose everything in life but not your self esteem, once you lost it you will be like a dead soul". What he said was very true i was like a zombie .Life is like a race, it bounds to be injuries, when we are injured it doesn't mean you can't run anymore in the future!we just have to slow down and walk slowly or just pause for awhile and wait till we are fully recovered we can continue to keep going and we might be able to go even faster than ever.
All we need to do is to keep the faith and stay positive.

For the past few years many miracles happened in my life..which i will share the next time. I was from dead broke to last year traveled to Europe once more after 8years for my honeymoon :) and i believe there are more to come.....just have to believe...

For people who are having depression 'Staying Positive' is a big word. but trust me, when you start to have the negative thoughts come up immediately switch your mind and tell yourself to stay positive and find a positive thing that you can think of. It will definitely helps slowly but surely. (this won't happen over night, you need to keep doing it to resist the negative thoughts).

After years of depressions, i finally manage to come out of it and today i am a different person.. a better person and a happier person. My friends have seen the transformations in me. Now when i look back i feel very thankful for what had happened to me because those mishaps changed me to a better person. I am more contended with life and take things with gratitude.

* A note to whom that has friends with depression...

please please please listen to them.. at this time they need someone to listen to them not someone to judge them and tell them to do this and this and this...
Try to put yourself in their shoes.. if they can think like you think they wouldn't have gone into depression in the first place.
Try sharing some positive stuff with them.. some encouraging stories.

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11

Overall what helped me through this journey is the strength that the Lord gave me and also the love from my friends and family

If you find this helpful you are always welcome to share with your friends.

I will post more when i have time.

Cheers and God Bless all of you.

'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.

Benefits of coffee for disease / illness

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 02 May 2011 01:20:00 +0000

Received this from a friend, it sounds like a piece of good news for the coffee lovers comme moi ( like me) ^_^ *grins*

For many years, coffee was considered a vice, linked with sleepless nights and cigarettes.

But scientists have discovered that coffee contains potent antioxidants that can fight numerous ailments, including heart disease and diabetes.

According to the American Coffee Association, 54% of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis, and they drink, on average, over three cups each.

The followings are the findings of the illnesses that can be benefited by drinking coffee:

Dementia

Drinking moderate amounts of coffee during middle age -classified as three to five cups daily - can decrease the risk of dementia by 65%, according to a 2009 study by Swedish and Finnish researchers.

Liver disease

In those who drink too much alcohol, those who drank the most coffee - more than four cups every day - reduced their risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis by 80%.

Heart disease

Research associated with The Nurses' Health Study found that women who drank two to three cups of coffee daily had a 25% lower risk of dying from heart disease. Along the same line, a Spanish study found that men who drank more than five cups of coffee each day lowered their risk of dying from heart disease by 44%, and that women who drank four to five cups each day reduced their risk by 34%.

Prostate cancer

A recent study from Harvard Medical School found that men who drank the most coffee slashed their risk of developing the fastest growing and most difficult to treat prostate cancers by more than half when compared to men who drank no coffee.

Gout

Drinking four or more cups of coffee each day dramatically reduces the incidence of gout, say U.S. and Canadian researchers. Men who drank four to five cups daily lowered their risk by 40 percent, and those who drank six or more cups daily reduced their risk of developing gout by 59% when compared to men who didn't drink coffee.

Breast cancer

Coffee can either reduce the risk of developing breast cancer or delay its onset, according to Swedish studies. They found that coffee alters a woman's metabolism and produces a safer balance of estrogens.

Women who drank two to three cups of coffee a day reduced their cancer risk by as much as two-thirds, depending on the specific type of breast cancer.

Diabetes.D

Enjoying six or more cups of coffee daily can cut chances of Type 2 diabetes by 54% in men and 30% in women over those who don't drink coffee.

Parkinson's disease.

Several studies show that drinking coffee lowers a man's risk of developing Parkinson's up to 80 percent - and the more the better.

Colon cancer

A Japanese report found that women who drank three or more cups of coffee every day slashed their risk of developing colon cancer in half.

What's responsible for coffee's healthy benefits? Most researchers believe it's the antioxidants (polyphenols or flavonoids) in coffee, but there are hundreds of compounds in coffee that may be partially responsible.

Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart.

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:26:00 +0000

It is as hard to refuse to listen to gossip as it is to turn down a delicious dessert. Taking just one morsel of either one creates a taste for more. You can resist rumors the same way a determined dieter resists candy-never even open the box. If you don't nibble on the first bite of gossip, you can't take the second and the third.

"Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart." Proverbs 18:8

Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth.

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:24:00 +0000

While there is something to be said for having big dreams, this proverb points out the folly of chasing fantasies. How much better to align your goals with God's, being the kind of person he wants you to be! Such goals (wisdom, honesty, patience, love) may not seem exciting, but they will determine your eternal future. Take time to think about your dreams and goals, and make sure they cover the really important areas of life.

"Sensible people keep their eyes glued on wisdom, but a fool’s eyes wander to the ends of the earth." Proverbs 17:24

Proud people take little account of their weaknesses and do not anticipate stumbling blocks. They think they are above the frailties of common people. In this state of mind they are easily tripped up. Ironically, proud people seldom realize that pride is their problem, although everyone around them is well aware of it. Ask someone you trust whether self-satisfaction has blinded you to warning signs. He or she may help you avoid a fall.

"Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall." Proverbs 16:18

The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:21:00 +0000

The righteous weigh their answers; the wicked don't wait to speak because they don't care about the effects of their words. It is important to have something to say, but it is equally important to weigh it first. Do you carefully plan your words, or do you pour out your thoughts without concern for their impact?

"The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking; the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words."

Proverbs 15:28

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:19:00 +0000

Have you ever tried to argue in a whisper? It is equally hard to argue with someone who insists on answering gently. On the other hand, a rising voice and harsh words almost always trigger an angry response. To turn away wrath and seek peace, choose gentle words.

"A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare." Proverbs 15:1

Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise.

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:18:00 +0000

"I was wrong" or "I need advice" are difficult phrases to utter because they require humility. Pride is an ingredient in every quarrel. It stirs up conflict and divides people. Humility, by contrast, heals. Guard against pride. If you find yourself constantly arguing, examine your life for pride. Be open to the advice of others, ask for help when you need it, and be willing to admit your mistakes.

"Pride leads to conflict; those who take advice are wise." Proverbs 13:10

The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 01:16:00 +0000

Wise people have a quiet confidence. Unstable people (fools) feel the need to prove themselves, but wise people don't have to prove anything. They know they are capable, so they can get on with their work. Beware of showing off. If you are modest, people may not notice you at first, but they will respect you later.

"The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness" Proverbs 12:23

Banana for depression / blood pressure /stroke /morning sickness

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 11:07:00 +0000

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas.?
He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain.? Read on:

Never, put your banana in the refrigerator !!!
Interesting.?? After reading this, you'll never look at a banana in the same way again.? Bananas contain three
natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes. But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.?It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and
conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school (England) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest?ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and pressure at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers.. In?Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking & Tobacco Use:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:
According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40?percent.

Warts:
Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many illness. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and
twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'

Soursop another strong cancer killer

noreply@blogger.com (Faith Seeker) — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 04:26:00 +0000

Received this email from a friend, don't know if it is true as it claims Soursop can kill cancer cells 10,000 times stronger than Chemotherapy just as what the Lemon does (refer to my previous post - Lemon kills cancer cells 10,000 times stronger than Chemo)

The Sour Sop in Asia some call it Western Durian due to its spiky skin on the skin like the king of fruit Durian.

Guyabano, The Soursop Fruit

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.
Why are we not aware of this?
Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by
trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time.
The taste is not bad after all. It's completely natural and definitely has no side effects.
If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

Th is tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English.
The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects.
Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest.
This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections,
is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression,
stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple:
Deep within the Amazon & Indonesia.
Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor,
and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival.
The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source o f this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's!
What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing...

Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon,
breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin,
a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts
down and kills only cancer cells.
It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched--
so why haven't you heard anything about it?
If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--
why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--
and for many, our very lives(!)--are controlled by money and power.

Graviola--the plant that worked too well

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola,
a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Variou s parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.
Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties--and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to
synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients.
If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent,
they'd be able to patent it and make their money back.
Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.
There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.
Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team
whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.
Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest
and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,
they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.
Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious....

...The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.
The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...

..Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests,
yet no double-blind clinical trials--
the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a
treatment's value- -were ever initiated..

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products,
following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to
selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."

...The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that
Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.
Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells),
causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

..A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...
Seven years of silence broken--it's finally here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .

The full Graviola Story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond Chemotherapy:
New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk,
a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances
that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer.

From breakthrough cancer and heart research and revolutionary Amazon Rainforest
herbology to world-leading anti-aging research and nutritional medicine,
every monthly Health Sciences Institute Member's Alert puts in your hands today cures the rest of America --including your own doctor(!)--is likely to find out only ten years from now.
