Little Faith + Big God = Huge Results

>>from my inbox:
Start with the Faith You Have
by Rick Warren
“[The boy’s father said,] ‘If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!’ Jesus said, ‘If’ There are no ‘ifs’ among believers. Anything can happen.’ No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the father cried, ‘Then I believe. Help me with my doubts!’” Mark 9:22–24


Is it possible to be filled with faith and doubt at the same time? Yes!
You can have faith that God wants you to do something and still be scared to death.


Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is going ahead and doing what you’re called to do in spite of your fear. You have to begin with the faith you already have; it may be just a little, but you start there.


a) Jesus looked at the man and said, “I can heal your son. If you will believe, I will heal him.”The father then makes a classic statement: “Lord, I do believe. Help me overcome my unbelief.”


b) Matthew 17:20 says, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed … Nothing will be impossible for you.” That’s not a lot of faith; in fact, it’s just a little faith. But what else does that verse teach? “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move,’ and it will move.”
Mustard seed faith moves mountains. Don’t get this reversed; we tend to read this verse backward; we want it to say, “If you have faith like a mountain, you can move a mustard seed."


- I'm afraid of my future, what lies ahead of me and whenever I struggle, messages from my inbox relates to my situation. Indeed God is watching. One time, I prayed so hard until I feel the peace in my heart. Sometimes I sway, forget to thank Him for all the blessings, sleep at night without offering a prayer, too busy to go to church, and still God loves me, even before I explain he already forgive me. I'm so blessed. I may lose everybody, everything, but He will never leave me. "Please help me get close to you," I always ask this, 'coz time and time again, I betray Him (I'm trying not to, but there are forces around me that makes me do bad, toinks! explanation! hahha!), and when it happens I need to renew my faith.

lazy friday

Woke up at 8am, had my breakfast, do the laundry (not yet done, 1 more batch), watched criminal minds, I really love Morgan, hahhaha! It's already 12 noon, and I'm sleepy. Need to go to the grocery, no food in the fridge even snacks we don't have. Also, my mobile internet is not working, sad I cannot tweet the girls, I'm too lazy to log-in to the computer. Such a lazy day. hehhehe.

The Wounded by Love Agreement

Posted By Paulo Coelho On September 25, 2007


GENERAL PROVISIONS
A] Considering that it’s absolutely correct the saying that states that “all is fair in love and war”;


B] Considering that in war we have the Geneva Convention, adopted in August 22nd of 1864, that determines the fate of the wounded in battlefields whereas there is no agreement that was promulgated until this day that deals with the wounded of love, who are much more populous;


IT IS HEREBY DECLARED THAT:
ART. 1 – All lovers, male or female, are now being notified that love, besides being a blessing, is also something very dangerous, unpredictable and able to cause serious damages. Consequently the one who decides to love has to know that his body and soul are exposed to many types of wounds and will not be able to blame the partner in any moment, since the risk is equal to both.


ART. 2- Once a lost arrow from the bow of Cupid hits a person, that person has to immediately ask the archer to dart another arrow in the opposite direction, so that one will not fall prey to the wound famously known as “non-reciprocal love”. In case Cupid refuses such act, the Agreement here promulgated demands that the wounded immediately retrieves the arrow from his heart and throw it in the bin.
*Note:In order to achieve this effect, the wounded has to avoid phone calls, internet messages, flower deliveries, or any other act of seduction, since these acts may achieve short term results, but are inevitably erased by time. The convention declares that the wounded has to quickly seek the company of other people in order to control the obsessive thought “it’s still worth to fight for this person”.


ART. 3 – In case the wound comes from third parties, meaning, the loved one is interested in someone else who was not expected in the pre-established plans, it is hereby expressly forbidden any act of revenge. In this case, it is permitted the profuse use of tears, some punches on the wall or pillow, talks with friends where the wounded can freely insult the ex-partner, allege his complete lack of good-taste, but refraining to lessen the partner’s honor.
NOTE: The agreement determines that art. 2 can also be applied: the wounded may seek the company of other people, preferably in places where the partner does not dwell.


ART. 4 – In case of light wounds, hereby classified as small betrayals, fulminating passions that do not last long, transitory sexual disinterest or dysfunction, one has to quickly and abundantly apply a medicine called Forgiveness. Once this medicine applied, one must never look back and the subject must be completely forgotten, never being mentioned as an argument in eventual fights or moments of wrath.


ART. 5 – In the case of definitive wounds, also called “brake-ups”, the only medicine capable of truly healing one’s heart is Time. It’s pointless and ineffective to find consolation with fortune-tellers (that will always allege that the lost love will return), romantic books (in which the endings are always happy ones), TV soap operas or other similar things. One has to suffer with intensity, completely avoiding the use of drugs, painkillers, prayers. Alcohol is only allowed in moderation, never surpassing more than two glasses of wine per day.


FINAL PROVISION: the wounded of love, contrary to the wounded of armed conflicts, are neither victims nor torturers. They have chosen something that is part of life and therefore they have to face the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.


*For those that were never wounded by love, they will never be able to say: “I lived”. Because they haven’t.
