I have been pondering about one thing, it is my desire to grow up that make me sin, we also have this desire to be loved and etc..all kind of desires... God created with beautiful emotions (in His likeness), HE want us to have feelings and desires just as He are.. But wen we fall, satan have captives over our desire, he manipulate and deceive us with our emotions...he can deceive u by using loneliness, pain, hurts to set u in bondage.. God created the hole (loneliness) so that He can feel us with it and only He alone can fill it.. so as we fall, we constanly seek to fill this hole but it won't work (trust me) as this place is only for Him. Eve was tempted and fall, the serpant tempted and stirred her desire to gain wisdom and desire to see things (ur eyes will be opened as the serpant said) God created this desire for wisdom and to see or learn things, HE want us to have the desire to have more wisdom about HIM and to learn about HIM.. HE created with the breath of HIS life, with brains and emotions... of course the satan (deceiver and manipulator) twisted the desire...
new international bible-genesis 2:4-7
You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. 5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves

My church-BUC
Been joining BUC (Bandar Utama Chapel) since last year October (if I am not mistaken)... Its really nice small congregation and its a cell church... Its great to belong to a family of God-Body of Christ... This year Easter, I have been approached to make decision regarding Baptism. Together with Aaron Tam, we have a talk with our Growth Group (cell) Elder or also known as Pastor, Uncle Hock Seng about it.. Even as that time, God use this time to show me how my church function as a Body of Christ... God let me see how the BUC members support each other (elders opening house to the members, prayers for each other, parenting helps and also funeral time) I see the fellowship thr...Even as Uncle Hock Seng say, Baptism is to proclaim that u now belong to this family of Christ... I also receive Breads in Church which is one of the main functions of church.... btw, i didn't realized how much tis church have people who truly support the members and a place whr God presence comfort instead of condemning or pressuring u when u sin, untill I experience..i won't really reveal the detail of what happen (sorry for no juicy detail- bbtw, i dun think it is juicy at all) as i find it not necessary..wat matters is lessons learned and God forgiveness transfrom me and bring me to another level of submission... He heal me regarding my desire to grow up and break free, I believe in a lie that I am imature and childish as what my parent said since small. I strruggle with inadequate feeling, therefore tries anything to proof that I am capable such as being rebelious and striving hard... I learned from a hard way the first lesson of submissions, still more to come... Praise God for His ever comforting hands and embrace even as I failed Him, assuring me it will be alright with His tender voice... He lifted up all the burden and pressure with His love, only wen I am vulnerable HE can work in me...I can only surrender and abandon myself at that time..When u r the weakest, God is the strongest..Even though it happens about 1 months ago..i will contantly be reminded of it and I won't regret it happens as I truly learned form my mistake.. I won't trade it with anything...For Jesus came to change ashes into Beauty...Thanks for people who stand by me even as this time... God bless

A Perfect Wedding: Inviting the Author of Romance to Make Your Day Beautiful - by leslie and eric ludy --- In this little book, Leslie and I desire to dust off God's ancient path – a path that leads couples to the perfection of marriage intimacy. What makes a perfect wedding, and subsequently, a perfect marriage? The answer is not roses, rhymes, tender rhetoric, or even raw grit and determination. Rather, the Author of romance Himself wants to be your Wedding Planner. A wedding day doesn’t define a great and lasting marriage, but like a pulse, it identifies the life at the center of it. Humanly built wedding days set up couples for humanly marred marriages, but God-crafted wedding days provide a foundation for a beautiful lifetime of profound shared intimacy. A wedding day is a taste of what’s to come. The tenor of a wedding day can often be the tenor of an entire marriage. Is a wedding about you, the bride and groom? Or is it about Someone greater than you? Those who learn the answer to this all-important question correctly unlock the great mystery of marital success. If you are like many other couples in our generation who long for something more than mediocrity in your future marriage, then get off to the right start by assigning God the position of Wedding Coordinator. This book displays how breathtakingly beautiful your wedding day (and your marriage) can be when the Author of lasting love becomes the Guest of Honor. Included with this book is a CD of five original wedding songs that Leslie and I wrote and recorded in our own studio – each song is an expression of one of the specific truths written about in this book, and each one includes a performance track as well. One of our favorite songs on this album is a new wedding version of Faithfully – the full-length song that was originally included with When God Writes Your Love Story. Couples all around the country have used Faithfully in their weddings to express the beauty of a God-written love story.
When Dreams Come True: a love story only God could write by eric and leslie ludy- Whenever anyone says to us, “So tell us about your love story” we tell them to read When Dreams Come True. Our love story, in our humble opinion, was (and is) one of the most amazing in the history of the world. Not because of our own romantic ability – rather, because God Himself scripted the details. All of the struggles, doubts, hopes, fears, failures and triumphs of our relationship are captured in this book. During our single years and throughout our love story, Leslie and I both kept detailed journals, which we drew from when putting this book together. As a result, this story provides an intimate peak inside our hearts and minds during the process of building a God-written love story. It’s written like a novel, but the story is true. If you want a clear example of what a Heaven-built romance can look like, this is the book for you. If you have ever struggled with the idea of giving God full control of this area of your life, this book will offer you a refreshing vision of hope
When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships by Eric and Leslie Ludy- This book has provided the foundation for a whole new way of thinking about relationships among today’s younger generation. Rather than building a love story the way the world does (with a few Christian morals tacked on for good measure) this book introduces readers to a far superior way of building a love story…God’s way. After all, God is the One who invented the concept of romance in the first place! And God doesn’t need to imitate the world’s way of building a relationship…He has His very own perfect, amazing, beautiful way of writing a love story, and it is far more fulfilling and romantic than anything Hollywood could ever concoct. Leslie and I believe that the foundation for an amazing, lifelong love story begins even before you meet your future spouse, by allowing the Author of romance to script your love story and show you how to love like He loves. Rather than chasing after temporary relationships, this book challenges readers to give the “pen” to God and allow Him to script their love story in His own perfect time and way. In this book, we take readers through the “Four Secrets to an Amazing Love Story” – practical things that you can do now to prepare for a love story that will go the distance. From learning to love your spouse even before you meet them, to understanding the difference between mere abstinence and true purity; from practicing the skills of tenderness and selflessness that will make you a superhero spouse, to experiencing God’s best in your single years; from understanding renewed purity to making your parents your teammates – this book is loaded with inspiration, motivation, and practical insight for experiencing a God-written love story.
"Sit Walk Stand"Watchman Nee- An inspiring look at Ephesians and the believer's association with Christ, the world, and Satan. A classic by Watchman Nee
"God Of Abraham Isaac And Jacob"Watchman Nee-
The Christian life is based on the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of these Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation
"Holy Spirit and Reality"Watchman Nee- The Christian Life seemingly involves many outward matters and things, such as Baptism, the Breaking of Bread, Worship, Praise, Prayer, Forgiveness, Humility, and Love For One Another. As such, it is easy to focus on these things but miss the spiritual reality behind them. This reality is the Holy Spirit. Apart from the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of Reality, all of these things, no matter how faithfully practiced, are merely outward conduct that is devoid of any real inward spiritual content. Here, Watchman Nee speaks of the believer's need to advance from outward practices to a genuine, spiritual living that is centered on knowing and experiencing the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is actively working to reveal Himself to us and to discipline us so that we may be guided into God's reality.

Passion and Purity: Learning to Bring Your Love Life under Christ's Control by Elisabeth Elliot, Joshua Harris (Foreword by), Ruth Bell Graham (Introduction)
From the PublisherPopular seminar speaker Elisabeth Elliot has written a book about bringing one's love life under the authority of Jesus Christ. She gives direction in such areas as singleness or marriage, putting God's desires ahead of personal desires, what men look for in a woman, virginity and chastity, and the man's and woman's role in relationships.
Quest for Love: True Stories of Passion and Purity by Elisabeth Elliot
From the Publisher"What if I never marry - will God take that desire away?" "I have deep feelings for this guy, but he says I am like a sister to him. What should I do?" "Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?" These are just a few of the questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her best-selling book Passion and Purity. In Quest for Love, Elliot shares many of these letters and responds to the writers' heartfelt needs and confusion with sound, biblical guidance. With warmth and humor, she dusts off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood, and then applies them to dating and singleness today. Quest for Love is brimming with true stories about how men and women find each other. Some of the stories end unhappily and serve as wake-up calls to those on the edge of making serious mistakes. Others, including moving love stories of Christian heroes, give testimony to "a faithful shepherd bringing people together." The tales in this book reveal that the key to a great love life is adhering to high moral standards - no matter how old-fashioned they seem - and daily committing matters of the heart to Christ.
Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons
by Gregory E. Lang, Janet Moran (Photographer), Janet Lankford-Moran (Photographer)
From the PublisherThe relationship between father and daughter almost defies description. Nurtured with love, the relationship strengthens and brings out the best in both, softening the rough edges of fathers and providing strength and security for their daughters. Why a Daughter Needs a Dad is one father's loving reflection upon what he brings - or hopes to bring - to his daughter's life. The warmth of hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity, the creation of a history from which both he and his daughter may draw - these things make up the warmhearted relationship he enjoys with his daughter and shares with readers in this sensitive and thoughtful book. Janet Lankford - Moran's photographs warmly illustrate many of the unique aspects of the ways fathers and daughters relate to one another.
The result is a book that will inspire fathers to embrace the irreplaceable role they play in their daughters' lives, to provide them with the love, nurture, and support they seek, and to enjoy the blessings that come back to them many times over.
Why a Daughter Needs a Mom by Gregory Lang
From the PublisherMothers and daughters often see themselves when they look at each other: mothers seeing themselves as a child again and daughters glimpsing the woman they will likely become. While this can be frightening at times, it also can be comforting. A daughter needs her mother to tell her the journey from girl to woman is more exciting than frightening and, with the blessing of children and grandchildren, the journey never ends. In his relationship with his own daughter, Greg Lang admits that while she once was his “playful partner in crime” and “most adoring audience,” she now turns to her mother for consolation and understanding. “Mothers are the best listeners,” he writes, “whether the news is good or bad. Moms know the reason for tears need not always be explained, but a big hug, a laugh, and chocolate always make things brighter.” A mom is a daughter’s role model through each stage of life, and wise and fortunate mothers are able to stay one step ahead of their daughters’ development along the way. A mother’s comfort soothes hurt feelings from playground to prom, from first-job pitfalls to first-pregnancy concerns. There is no substitute in a daughters’ life for Mom. With charming photographs of mothers and daughters of various backgrounds and ages, Why a Daughter Needs a Mom will inspire mothers everywhere to empower their daughters to reach their full potential in becoming strong, purposeful, independent women.

Honest and heartfelt, here's what daughters everywhere want to share with their mom.
• "Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades, and friends-but only one mother in the whole wide world."-Kate Douglas Wiggin
• How about hiding those naked baby pictures of me when my boyfriend is around?
• "Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother."—Moorish Proverb

You're Wearing That?: Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation by Deborah Tannen
From the PublisherDeborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don’t Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women’s lives: the mother-daughter relationship.It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other’s power and underestimates her own. Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves? Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship.With groundbreaking insights,pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen’s humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You’re Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives.

"Why should a man still be expected to initiate romance?" These are just a few of the questions posed in letters to Elisabeth Elliot by readers of her best-selling book Passion and Purity. In Quest for Love, Elliot shares many of these letters and responds to the writers' heartfelt needs and confusion with sound, biblical guidance. With warmth and humor, she dusts off "antiquated" concepts such as commitment, integrity, honor, and servanthood, and then applies them to dating and singleness today. Quest for Love is brimming with true stories about how men and women find each other. Some of the stories end unhappily and serve as wake-up calls to those on the edge of making serious mistakes. Others, including moving love stories of Christian heroes, give testimony to "a faithful shepherd bringing people together." The tales in this book reveal that the key to a great love life is adhering to high moral standards - no matter how old-fashioned they seem - and daily committing matters of the heart to Christ.
Why a Daughter Needs a Dad: A Hundred Reasons
by Gregory E. Lang, Janet Moran (Photographer), Janet Lankford-Moran (Photographer)
From the PublisherThe relationship between father and daughter almost defies description. Nurtured with love, the relationship strengthens and brings out the best in both, softening the rough edges of fathers and providing strength and security for their daughters. Why a Daughter Needs a Dad is one father's loving reflection upon what he brings - or hopes to bring - to his daughter's life. The warmth of hugs and laughter, the comfort of familiarity, the creation of a history from which both he and his daughter may draw - these things make up the warmhearted relationship he enjoys with his daughter and shares with readers in this sensitive and thoughtful book. Janet Lankford - Moran's photographs warmly illustrate many of the unique aspects of the ways fathers and daughters relate to one another.
The result is a book that will inspire fathers to embrace the irreplaceable role they play in their daughters' lives, to provide them with the love, nurture, and support they seek, and to enjoy the blessings that come back to them many times over.
Why a Daughter Needs a Mom by Gregory Lang
From the PublisherMothers and daughters often see themselves when they look at each other: mothers seeing themselves as a child again and daughters glimpsing the woman they will likely become. While this can be frightening at times, it also can be comforting. A daughter needs her mother to tell her the journey from girl to woman is more exciting than frightening and, with the blessing of children and grandchildren, the journey never ends. In his relationship with his own daughter, Greg Lang admits that while she once was his “playful partner in crime” and “most adoring audience,” she now turns to her mother for consolation and understanding. “Mothers are the best listeners,” he writes, “whether the news is good or bad. Moms know the reason for tears need not always be explained, but a big hug, a laugh, and chocolate always make things brighter.” A mom is a daughter’s role model through each stage of life, and wise and fortunate mothers are able to stay one step ahead of their daughters’ development along the way. A mother’s comfort soothes hurt feelings from playground to prom, from first-job pitfalls to first-pregnancy concerns. There is no substitute in a daughters’ life for Mom. With charming photographs of mothers and daughters of various backgrounds and ages, Why a Daughter Needs a Mom will inspire mothers everywhere to empower their daughters to reach their full potential in becoming strong, purposeful, independent women.
What Every Daughter Wants Her Mother to Know by Betty Sargent, Betsy Perry, Betsy F. Perry
From the PublisherDaughters and moms have a special bond, but it isn't always easy to communicate.
What Every Daughter Wants Her Mother to Know says everything to your mother that you wish you had, accented with warm photos. Sweet without being overly sentimental, every daughter's mother will love this book as an impromptu gift, thank-you, Mother's Day present or Christmas surprise.
Honest and heartfelt, here's what daughters everywhere want to share with their mom.
• "Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades, and friends-but only one mother in the whole wide world."-Kate Douglas Wiggin
• How about hiding those naked baby pictures of me when my boyfriend is around?
• "Every beetle is a gazelle in the eyes of its mother."—Moorish Proverb
• It took me years to realize that when you told me I looked tired or that my hair was dirty, you did it out of love, not criticism.
The Incredible Truth About Mothers by Bradley Trevor Greive

In this moving and yet often side-splittingly funny homage to mothers everywhere, the best-selling author has masterfully paired his insightful prose with humorous animal photography that quickly and succinctly sums up his narrative’s loving nuances.

You're Wearing That?: Understanding Mothers and Daughters in Conversation by Deborah Tannen
From the PublisherDeborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don’t Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women’s lives: the mother-daughter relationship.It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other’s power and underestimates her own. Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves? Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship.With groundbreaking insights,pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen’s humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You’re Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives.
I Only Say This because I Love You: Talking to Your Parents, Partner, Sibs, and Kids when You're All Adults by Deborah Tannen

In this illuminating book, Deborah Tannen, the linguist and and bestselling author of You Just Don't Understand and many other books, reveals why talking to family members is so often painful and problematic even when we're all adults.

Korean movie-- 200 pounds beauty
My relatives came over my hse on thurs... i came back home on fri to have dinner with them and after dat we went for movie (which is my emphasis here and pardon me if i go off track) so the whole car full of excited 4 teens (my 2 brothers and 2 cousins) and 2 young adults (me and my other cousin)...after much discussion and deciding...we went to cineleisure in the curve and movie on our pick is 200 pounds beauty (a korean movie) when you hear about korean movie, run to the nearest store and buy few boxes of tissues (and yes I am exaggerating it) The plot of korean movie come normally with a package of tears and laugther...
We have about 1 hour plus before the clock tick 12am which is the movie time... we found a snooker and football machine place...so the time is fill with fun and shout from the games...ahaha, first time playing snooker...(yes, i know the jaw is drooping as a result of suprise) btw, i di hit in some balls =)
Here come the review of 200 pounds beauty movie :
To summarizes it... i personally think this movie is out regarding the rise of plastic surgery in korean ladies. It is a rising idustry and profit...dats y business people lovesss ladies, their eyes shine with money as ladies will spend loads of money for beauty purposes...well, pro and cons is thr...
This movie revolves around the glamour life of singer and producers....of course, not forgeting our ugly fat duckling the heroin...the glamour life of our singer, the pretty and hot singer but (notice the but), she is not talented with notes... our heroin which have a angelic and powerful voice plus heart...FIY, she fall in love with the producer, the hero..
At the hero birthday, heroin's heart broke when she accidently heard that the singer and hero are using her for profit...she eventually seek resolve by having plastic surgery...enduring all the agony of knives cutting her flesh.
our heroin turn from a fat, ugly duckling to a beautiful swimming swarm...leaving all the guys stirred up and stalking her...She later find herself being a replacement to the once fat and ugly self... this time, she is introduce as a star for her look and voice...
She also rekindle her romance with the hero... (watch the movie to know)
The singer was jealous and angry of heroin as she was getting all attention and the singer is losing her place..so she set to find out more about her identity...
the concert is the highlight..where heroin force herself to go on stage...the moment she see her dad dancing in front (she refuse to recognize her dad before that and shoo him away as some stalker fans..her fren who backup singer with her before this took the dad away and is angry over her) she cry and stooped the guard from shooing her dad at the concert... in tears she tell the truth out- who she is and why she did it.. she finally found herself back... she apologised for what she did...the crowds encourage her and concert continue in tears....her fren came to the stage in back up singer helping her to finish the song as she can't hold her tears..she went down and hug her dad...
she is still a singer but using her real name after that...she concentrate in her singing and taking care of her mentally ill dad which assume her as his wife...
one point, girls struggle with issue whether they are desirable or not... eventough they are pretty, they still wander around searching affirmation of opposite sex...they want to know whether they have people desire and love them or not. I too struggle with this...it only improve when I allow God to work in this area. God will constanly remind me of how desirable I am...only He our bridegroom can satisfy the needs of being love...for He put in our hearts the longing...He want us to be satisfy in His love alone.

lovey dovey...=P
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

The instruction of God for gift of prophecy and tongues
Gifts of Prophecy and Tongues
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. I then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.
For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"says the Lord.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
Orderly Worship
What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
From this, u can c dat God is a structred God and He want everything in orderly.... He command the instruction becoz at dat time the people missuse the gift of tongues and prophesy. They even talk to each other in tongue. Speaking in tongue is a way we communicate with God and dat devil will not understand wat we are telling God.The Lord is also concern about non-believers as He is worried dat speaking in tongue might draw non-believers away and even scared them...God is concern also dat we dun stumble our brother or sister in Christ. For example in 1 Corinthians 10 - So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble.
1 Corinthians- Be careful, however, that the exercise of your freedom does not become a stumbling block to the weak
But God do want us to have the gift...He want us to use it for His glory...=)
Follow the way of love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy.
For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his spirit.
But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5I would like every one of you to speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless he interprets, so that the church may be edified.
Now, brothers, if I come to you and speak in tongues, what good will I be to you, unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or word of instruction?
Even in the case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or harp, how will anyone know what tune is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes?
Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle?
So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just be speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world, yet none of them is without meaning. I then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.
For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that he may interpret what he says. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind. If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since he does not know what you are saying? You may be giving thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified.
I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you. But in the church I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue.
Brothers, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults. In the Law it is written:
"Through men of strange tongues
and through the lips of foreigners
I will speak to this people,
but even then they will not listen to me,"says the Lord.
Tongues, then, are a sign, not for believers but for unbelievers; prophecy, however, is for believers, not for unbelievers. So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues, and some who do not understand or some unbelievers come in, will they not say that you are out of your mind? But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everybody is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, "God is really among you!"
Orderly Worship
What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. If anyone speaks in a tongue, two—or at the most three—should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret. If there is no interpreter, the speaker should keep quiet in the church and speak to himself and God.
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace. As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord's command. If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored.
Therefore, my brothers, be eager to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.
From this, u can c dat God is a structred God and He want everything in orderly.... He command the instruction becoz at dat time the people missuse the gift of tongues and prophesy. They even talk to each other in tongue. Speaking in tongue is a way we communicate with God and dat devil will not understand wat we are telling God.The Lord is also concern about non-believers as He is worried dat speaking in tongue might draw non-believers away and even scared them...God is concern also dat we dun stumble our brother or sister in Christ.

holidays
I am on holidays...whew....but i still in kdu....never get one day of free from kdu... bz with chirstian fellowship and campus friends (basically both abreviation is cf haha) cf camp is coming so we have planning to do (some problem occur but by God grace it is overcome d and we are raring for the camp) God will alwiz be with us, Emanuel! Everything is able in Him as God say, is thr anything big enough for me? for Christian Fellwoship, prayer meet is on as usual at 5pm...we also have to set up booth to promote fri christian fellowship meeting...nowadays i on9 alot as i m waiting for the booth and prayer or commitee meet time to come...was quite tired and discourage at the booth wen thr is no one to help me...but God alwiz encourage me and He nvr forsake me...oh ya..i have anxiety over my exam result as well...(scary, result is coming out soon and i am really worry) I remember this verse at this time- in the multitude of my anxieties, God comforts light up my soul.. well, nowadays as i focus on God and receive Him, He show me more of His holy, perfect and unconditional love...i now realized the importance of soaking (receiving God love and presence) He is really working wen u surrender urself unto His hands, wen we decrease, He increase =p God love is holy as in He is above all the creation and He hate sin...He is never associated with anything unpure or sinful...that is why when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." read Luke 5:1-8 for the whole verse.. why peter responded like dat when Jesus net is overflow with fish? peter can ask Jesus to teach him the way to catch fish like Jesus do instead of asking Jesus to leave them...This is because peter came to realized dat God is holy and God hate sin. of course we are sinners and yet God love us so much dat He give us Jesus, His only begotten son. peter kneel down and confess to Jesus dat he is of a sinful man...it act a sermon from covlife church (youth retreat mission camp)...
Some people claim dat they find it hard to receive God or how to receive Him or feel dat He is far from us... wat u can try is open some worship songs and sing...let the song prepare your heart to ponder on His love and den slowly invite holy spirit to come into your hearts (God is our gardener, He will plant seed in our heart, nurture it, water it and let it become a forest) one very important thing is u can't reasoned too much about God, u received Him with a child like faith...God also says that faith is something u dun c but believe in...thr is one verse- blessed are those who doesn't c but choose to belive in me...btw, God is nvr far from us but it is us who are far from Him..constantly communicate with God, He wan to hear u =p God also remind us of the importance of choosing the right friends. A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend." (Proverbs 7:17) "Do not be deceived: "Evil company corrupts good habits." He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20) read the article for more understanding- http://www.bible-knowledge.com/bible-friends.html
=) Ps: Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. hoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1 John 4:7-8)Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:11
btw..can't wait for my next semester =) my final semester...times flies! wish i can strive more for God

One rainy afternoon I was driving along one of the main streets
of town, taking those extra precautions necessary when the
roads are wet and slick.
Suddenly, my daughter, Aspen ,
spoke up from her relaxed position in her seat. "Dad, I'm
thinking of something."
This announcement usually meant she had been pondering some
fact for a while, and was now ready to expound all
that her six-year-old mind had discovered. I was eager to hear.
"What are you thinking?" I asked.
"The rain!" she began, "is like sin, and the windshield
wipers are like God wiping our sins away."
After the chill bumps raced up my arms I was able to respond.
"That's really good, Aspen."
Then my curiosity broke in. How far would this little girl take
this revelatio! n? So I asked... "Do you notice how the rain
keeps on coming? What does that tell you?"
Aspen didn't hesitate one moment with her answer:
"We keep on sinning, and God just keeps on forgiving us."
I will always remember this whenever I turn my wipers on.
In order to see the Rainbow, you must first endure some
water
READ THE FIRST LINE CAREFULLY.
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Happy moments, praise God.
Difficult moments, seek God.
Quiet moments, worship God.
Painful moments, trust God.
Every moment, thank God.
This is a Thomas Kinkade painting.
Jesus Test
This is an easy test, you score 100 or zero. It's your choice. If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.
Jesus said, "if you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."
Not ashamed Pass this on . . . only if you mean it.
Yes, I do Love God.
He is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and everyday.
Without Him, I will be nothing. !
Without Him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.
Phil 4:13
This is the simplest test. If you Love God, and are not ashamed of all the marvelous things he has done for you.
Love
L - Life - Long commitment
O - Other - Centred lifestyle
V - Value - Based decision
E - Empowered - Growth relationship
For all you people who say, "I love you"
when you
have no clue what love is exactly!!!
Something to ponder upon...
Are your palms sweaty, is your heart racing
and is
your voice caught within your chest?
It isn't love, it's LIKE.
You can't keep your eyes or hands off of
her/him?
It isn't love, it's LUST.
Are you proud, and eager to show her/him off?
It isn't love, it's LUCK.
Do you want her because you know she's/he's
there?
It isn't love, it's LONELINESS.
Are you with her/him because it's what
everyone
wants?
It isn't love, it?s LOYALTY.
Are you with her because she/he kissed you,
or
held your hand?
It isn't love, it's LOW CONFIDENCE.
Do you stay for her/him confessions of love,
because you don't want to hurt her/him?
It isn't love, it's PITY.
Do you belong to her/him because the sight
of
her/him makes your heart skip a beat?
It isn't love, it's INFATUATION.
Do you pardon her faults because you care
about
her/him?
It isn't love, it's FRIENDSHIP.
Do you tell her/him every day she is the only
one
you think of?
It isn't love, it's a LIE.
Are you willing to give up all of your favorite
things
or her sake?
It isn't love, it's CHARITY.
====================
====================
Does your heart ache and break when she's
sad?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you cry for her/his pain, even when
she's/he's
strong?
Then it's LOVE.
Do her/his eyes see your true heart, and touch
your soul so deeply it hurts?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you stay because a blinding,
incomprehensible
mix of pain and relation pulls you close and
holds
you to her/him?
Then it's LOVE.
Do you accept her/his faults because it's a
part of
who she/he is?
Then it's LOVE.
Are you attracted to others, but stay with
her/him
faithfully without regret??
Then it's LOVE.
Would you give her/him your heart, your life,
your
death??
Then it's LOVE.
Now, if love is painful, and tortures us so,
why do
we love? Why is it all we search for in life?
This
pain, this agony? Why is it all we long for?
This
torture, this powerful death of self? Why? The
answer is so simple cause it's...LOVE. It is
such
an addictive thing that even people who are
not
having it wish to experience it and share it
with
others as well.
Pass this to all your friends so they don't
make the
same mistake with their LOVE LIVES!! I like
the
dreams of the future better than the history of
the
past...
Love hurts our feeling, but it's also the reason
our
soul heal...
Jesus love is sacrificing, how amazing is such love and grace?
only Jesus love can heal us!!! His love is perfect and unconditional!
He is the truth, the way and life!!
He is our hope, love, peace and care!!

Last week a 3 year old girl (in South Africa) was beaten and raped.
She is still alive. The man responsible was released on bail yesterday.
He is walking the streets. If you are too busy to read this then just
sign your name and forward this on.
The South African Government is planning to close the Child Protection
Unit and this is a petition against it. This is a very important
petition. It is an essential part of the justice system for children.
You may
have already heard that there's a myth in South Africa that having sex
with a virgin will cure AIDS. The younger the virgin, the more potent
the cure. This has led to an epidemic of rapes by infected males, with
the correspondent infection of innocent kids. Many have died in these
cruel rapes.
Recently in Cape Town, a 9-month-old baby was raped by 6 men. Please
think about that for a moment. The child abuse situation is now
reaching
catastrophic proportions and if we don't do something, then who will?

WOMEN OF STRENGTH
A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...
A strong woman isn't afraid of anything ...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...
A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her ...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...
A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them...
A strong woman walks sure footedly ...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...
A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...
but a woman of strength wears grace...
A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...

OUR LORD’s PRAYER
OUR LORD’s PRAYEROur Father Who Art In Heaven.Yes?Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.But -- you called Me! Called you? No, I didn't call you. I'm praying. Our Father who art in Heaven. There -- you did it again!Did what? Called Me. You said, "Our Father who art in Heaven" Well, here I am. What's on your mind? But I didn't mean anything by it. I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day. I always say the Lord's Prayer. It makes me feel good, kind of like fulfilling a duty. Well, all right. Go on.Okay, Hallowed be thy name . .Hold it right there. What do you mean by that?By what?By "Hallowed be thy name"? It means, it means . . good grief, I don't know what it means. How in the world should I know? It's just a part of the prayer. By the way, what does it mean? It means honored, holy, wonderful.Hey, that makes sense. I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before. Thanks. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Do you really mean that?Sure, why not?What are you doing about it?Doing? Why, nothing, I guess. I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control, of everything down here like you have up there.
We're kinda in a mess down here you know.Yes, I know; but, have I got control of you?Well, I go to church. That isn't what I asked you. What about your bad temper? You've really got a problem there, you know. And then there's the way you spend your money, all on yourself. And what about the kind of books you read?Now hold on just a minute! Stop picking on me!I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church! Excuse Me. I thought you were praying for my will to be done. If that is to happen, it will have to start with the ones who are praying for it. Like you -- for example.Oh, all right. I guess I do have some hang-ups.
Now that you mention it, I could probably name some others.I haven't thought about it very much until now, but I really would like to cut out some of those things.I would like to, you know, be really free. Good. Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together. You and Me. I'm proud of You. Look, Lord, if you don't mind, I need to finish up here. This is taking a lot longer than it usually does. Give us this day, our daily bread. You need to cut out the bread. You're overweight as it is. Hey, wait a minute! What is this? Here I was doing my religious duty, and all of a sudden you break in and remind me of all my hang-ups. Praying is a dangerous thing. You just might get what you ask for. Remember, you called ME -- and here I am.It's too late to stop now. Keep praying. ( . . . pause . . ) Well, go on.
I'm scared to.Scared? Of what?I know what you'll say.Try Me !Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. What about Ann? See? I knew it! I knew you would bring her up! Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories. She never paid back the money she owes me. I've sworn to get even with her!But -- your prayer -- What about your prayer?I didn't -- mean it. At least not in her case. Well, at least you're honest about it. But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I get even with her. Revenge is sweet you know.Boy, have I got some plans for her. She'll wish she had never been born. No, you won't feel any better. You'll feel worse. Revenge isn't sweet at all.You know how unhappy you are -- Well, I can change that.You can? How?Forgive Ann. Then, I'll forgive you; And the hate and the sin, will be Ann's problem -- not yours. You will have settled the problem as far as you are concerned.Oh, you know, you're right. You always are. And more than I want to get even, I want to be right with You . (sigh).All right . . . O.K.. . I forgive her.There now! Wonderful! How does that feel?Hmmmm. Well, not bad. Not bad at all! In fact, I feel pretty great! You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight tonight.I haven't been getting much rest, you know.Yeah, I know. But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on.Oh, all right. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Good! Good! I'll do that. Just don't put yourself in a place where you can be tempted.What do you mean by that? You know what I mean.Yeah. I know.Okay. Go ahead. Finish your prayer.For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.Do you know what would bring me glory. What would really
make me happy?No, but I'd like to know. I want to please you now. I've really made a mess of things. I want to truly follow you. I can see now how great that would be.So, tell me . . How do I make you happy?You just did.

soar like eagles...grabbed from anna blog =b
SOARING LIKE EAGLES
Before you read, i would like to thank Aaron for passing this to me during cf camp at peacehaven.. I think these lessons are relevant for all you eagles out there..6 Lessons From Eagles"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."Isaiah 40:31Have you ever wondered why Isaiah 40:31 is written the way it is?Q 1 :: Why is the Eagle mentioned specifically?Q 2 :: What so special about Eagles that they have a place in the Bible?Q 3 :: What is the linkage between waiting upon the Lord and renewal of strength?Q 4 :: Why is it that when you mount up with wings like eagles, you do not get tired?Read on and you will find the answer.The eagle is a creation of God. It is the most majestic of all birds and is mentioned many times in the Bible. In fact, the eagle is mentioned 38 times, much more than the dove or other birds.An eagle is around 90cm tall and reaches over 2m between the wings. She builds her nest on the cliff or in a high tree. The nest is so large that a human can sleep in it. It can weigh 700kg and is also comfortable.With the basis of God's Word, we shall see what the king of birds can show us concerning truths about God, and also about Christians. May the pracital lessons contained here be of encouragement to you. God Bless.Lesson 1 :: All Baby Eagles Must Learn To FlyHigh in the mountains, a baby eagle is born. Like all other babies, there are two things that baby eagles, known as eaglets love to do: Eat and sleep. The baby eagle would spend its initial life in the comfort of the nest. Everyday, mama eagle would find food and drop it directly into the open mouths of the hungry eaglet. With a satisfied stomach, the eaglet then goes to sleep and the cycle continues when it becomes hungry again.This goes on for a few weeks, until one day, mama eagle would just hover over the nest. This time, there is no food. After hovering a few rounds, mama eagle would make a dive into the nest and begins to shake it violently. She then takes one of her babies in her mouth and starts soaring into the skies. The baby eaglet begins to tremble, "Mama is mad! Mama is mad!". Suddenly she drops the baby eaglet that starts to struggle. Just before the eaglet smashes againt the rocks, mama eagle would sweep down and pick it up. This goes on for about five to eight times. The eaglet starts to wonder why mama is doing this. Every time it is being froppwed from the sky, the eaglet would streggle by flapping its wings."Mama can fly. I want to fly liker her too!" the eaglet says to itself.What a beautiful picture! Mama is teaching her young to fly. At about the fourteenth of fifteenth try, the eaglet begins to fly.Relevance :: Christians are like baby eagles, comfortable in the nest. They come to church once a week to find food. They would wait for pastor to drop "spiritual" food into their mouths. When the service is over, they would go home, "sleep" for a few days and the cycle continues, until one day, something happens and they streggle. The nest gets shaken and they dont know what to do."Its the devil! Its the devil!" they exclaim. No, its not! Its just our loving Father who allows our nest to be shaken because He wants us to grow into maturity, so that we can fly. Its no point being an eagle that cannot fly.The Word of God says in Exodus 19:4 that God bare the children of Israel on eagles wings. Here we see the eagle symbolises God, The way mama eagle treats her young shows us how God treats His children. Just when it seems like were going under.. SWISH.. like mama eagle, God, comes and picks us up.In the world, they pish people upward when they are going up. But God lets us fall down to get us up. Hard times come, but after a couple of times I start to pray a little bit more, I start to read God's word a little bit more. And suddenly I realise that the answers to my prayers are coming.hard times always come but I find Im not helpless, no, I see that I can stand on Gods word. What has happened? Ice learned to spread my wings! Ive learned to fly. GOD carries us supernaturally through all our trials, even if we dont feel it. Yea, who can see the wind. While mama eagle teaches her young to use their own wings, God teaches us to believe His Word and use our Faith.Lessons 2 :: Eagles Are Made For The High PlacesUnlike other birds that fly in the lowlands, eagles are made to fly in the high places, out of sight of the naked human eye and out of range of the hunters rifle.Relevance ::God made us to fly in the high places, free from the worlds control. A tourist to the Jurong Bird Park once commented that the eagles there looked very clean. In reply, the bird keeper said: "When eagles are in freedom, they are the cleanest birds. But when they are in captivity, they are the dirtiest."God made us pure and holy to conform to the image of His Son. If Christians are in captivity, that is, being subjected to the ways of the world, we can be there "dirtiest" of all creatures. Unless we "fly" in the high places, out of the worlds control, and according to how God has made us, well maintain the dirtiest of creatures.Lesson 3 :: Eagles So Not Fly, They SoarEagles do not fly like other birds, flapping their wings profusely and using their own strength. Instead, eagles SOAR majestically, making use of the wind currents to gain height. What makes the eagle so special is that she sits on the rock and reads the wind and when the time is perfect she takes off and soars upward with her great wings. There is a special up-going wind where the eagle rides the wind and circle high and higher toward the sky, without effort. She just spreads her wings.Relevance:The wind is referred many times in the Bible as the Holy Spirit. We can learn to cooperate with the Hily Spirit and let Him lift us closer to Jesus. The eagle in this case is the Christian who is being lifted by the Holy Spirit up and closer to Jesus.Like eagles, we should learn to ride on the current of the Holy Spirit, instead of relying on our own strength. Only then can we "gain height" to "fly" in the high places. Isaiah 40:31 talks about growing in Christ, that happens when we have fellowship with Him in the Spirit.Lesson 4 :: Eagles Go Through Specific Periods Of RenewalWhen they are about 60 years old, eagles go through a period of renewal. An eagle would find a secret place up in the mountains. It would start to claw at its face and tear out the feathers that have been damages over the years. As a result, it would bleed badly. The eagle would then wait patiently for the rays of the sun to heal it.Through this, the eagle renews its strength by getting rid of the unnecessary things. Otherwise it would not be able to live till 120 years that it normally does.Relevance ::Like eagles, Christians need to go through a renewal period sometime in our lives to rid ourselves of the unnecessary things and to wait upon the Lord. Renewal is a divine principal where God cuts off the unfruitful things in us so as to bring out the fruitful.Lesson 5 :: Eagles Get Sick, Just Like HumansWhen an eagle gets sick, it does not go to the doctor. It simply finds a favourite spot in the mountains and await the rays of the sun to heal it. The sun plays a major role in the life of an eagle and as such, is a major source of healing too.Relevance ::When we get sick, besides going to the doctor, do we also look to the Lord who plays a major role in our lives as our source of healing?Lesson 6 :: Every Eagle Has To DieWhen an eagle is about to die, it will fly to its favourite spot in the mountains, wraps its wings round itself and look at the suns rays and dies.Relevance ::Ideally, all Christians should die looking towards Jesus as our source of hope and comfort.Isaiah 40:31 -- "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

high school musical (nice movie!!!)
Start of Something New
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
And right here tonight
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side
I know that something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
I never knew that it could happen
Till it happened to me
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
It's a start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Start of something new
Get'cha Head in the Game
Coach said to fake right
And break left
Watch out for the pick
And keep an eye on defense
Gotta run the give and go
And take the ball to the hole
But don't be afraid
To shoot the outside "J"
Just keep ya head in the game
Just keep ya head in the game
And don't be afraid
To shoot the outside "J"
Just keep ya head in the game
U gotta
Get'cha get'cha head in the game
We gotta
Get our, get our, get our, get our head in the game
(repeat 3x)
Let's make sure
That we get the rebound
'Cause when we get it
Then the crowd will go wild
A second chance
Gotta grab it and go
Maybe this time
We'll hit the right notes
Wait a minute
It's not the time or place
Wait a minute
Get my head in the game
Wait a minute
Get my head in the game
Wait a minute
Wait a minute
I gotta
Get my, get my head in the game
You gotta
Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
(repeat 3x)
Why am I feeling so wrong
My head's in the game
But my heart's in the song
She makes this feel so right
(SPOKEN)
Should I go for it
Better shake this, yikes!
I gotta
Get my, get my head in the game
You gotta
Get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
(repeat 4x)
What I've Been Looking For
Ryan:It's hard to believe
That I couldn't see
Together: You were always there beside me
Thought I was alone
With no one to hold
But you were always right beside me
Sharpay:This feelings like no other
Together:I want you to know

Zeke:
You can bet
There's nothin' but net
When I am in a zone and on a roll
But I've got a confession
My own secret obsession
And it's making me lose control
Jocks:
Everybody gather 'round
Zeke(spoken):
Well if Troy can tell his secret than I can tell mine...I bake
Jock(spoken):
What?
Zeke(spoken):
I love to bake! Strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy
Jocks:
Not another sound
Zeke(spoken):
Someday I hope to make the perfect creme brulee

Follow one simple rule
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo
Martha Cox:
Look at me
And what do you see
Intelligence beyond compare
But inside I am stirring
Something strange is occuring
It's a secret I need to share

Open up, dig way down deep

Hip hop is my passion! I love to pop and lock and jam and break!
Braniac(spoken):
Is that even legal?
Brainiacs:
Not another peep
Martha(spoken):
It's just dancing. Sometimes I think it's cooler than homework.
Brainiacs:
No, no, no, noooooooooo

Stick to the stuff you know
It is better by far
To keep things as they are
Don't mess with the flow, no no
Stick to the status quo

When There Was Me and You
It's funny when you find yourself
Looking from the outside
I'm standing here but all I want
Is to be over there
Why did I let myself believe
Miracles could happen
Cause now I have to pretend
That I don't really care'
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
Thats coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know your not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
Breaking Free
Troy:
We are soaring, flying
There are not a star in heaven
That we cant reach
Gabriella:
If we are trying
So we are breaking free
Troy:
You know the world can see us
In a way that is different than who we are
Gabriella:
Creating space between us
Til we have separate hearts
Both:
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe
Chorus :
Troy:
We are breaking free
Gabriella:
We are soaring
Troy:
Flying
Both: There are not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
Troy:
If we are trying
Both: Yeah, we are breaking free
Troy:
Oh, we are breaking free
Gabriella:
Ohhhh
Troy:
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Gabriella:
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls
Both: Rising til it lifts us up
So every one can see
Chorus:
Troy:
We are breaking free
Gabriella: We are soaring
Troy:
Flying
Both:
There are not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
Troy: If we are trying
Yeah we are breaking free
Gabriella:
Ohhhh running
Troy:
Climbing
To get to that place
Both:
To be all that we can be
Troy:
Now is the time
Both:
So we are breaking free
Troy:
We are breaking free
Gabriella:
Ohhh , yeah
Troy:
More than hope
More than faith
Gabriella:
This is true
This is fate
And together
Both: We see it coming
Troy:
More than you
More than me
Gabriella:
Not a want, but a need
Both:
Both of us breaking free
Chorus:
Gabriella:
Soaring
Troy:
Flying
Both:
There are not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we are trying
Troy:
Yeah we are breaking free
Gabriella:

To be all that we can be

Both:
You know the world can see us
In a way that is different than who we are
