Life is His to take away.

Postscript from last evening: Egg prata+Roti tissue+Banana/chocolate/ice cream/curry prata+milo=weird and wonderful tastes+upset stomach

How blissful. I'd never intended to adopt another kitten, but Willow, not seeking my opinion, apparently had. *sigh* What am I to do.











Praise the Lord for an awesome time of worship tonight! (Mich you're truly annointed.) God brought these words back home-

Lord I offer my life to You.
What can we give, that You have not given
And what do we have, that is not already Yours
All we possess are these lives that we're living
And that's what we give You Lord


To a friend who has planned to die at 30:

We do not live to work, to earn material posessions, or to seek and find love in human beings. I have found complete contentment not in any of these, but in the resolution that I live for Christ alone, the only one who is able to love me unconditionally. Nothing else on earth can satisfy me in spirit and soul like He can, for He is my maker. My purpose in life is to honour Him in all that I do- and it doesn't matter what I do.
So, whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Cor 10:31
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. Jer 29:11

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thess 5:16-18

I know it sounds simplistic, idealistic, overly-religious. But this comes from the bottom of my heart, and I'm not just quoting scripture- it's about things I've put to the test and have come to believe in. When I allow the Lord to be seated above all else in my life, everything falls into place. By no means does this imply that my life will be easy; on the contrary, it opens the doors to more trials, hurt and hardship; anything the Lord will let me go through to build me up and make me a better person. "Falling into place" means that I am able to experience the peace and joy which comes only with the knowledge that I am obeying Him. Thus I endeavour... to love the people God places along the path of my life, and to share His love with them.


Thank you dear friends and family, past and present, who have blessed me along the way and have made such a difference by loving me. Oftentimes I thank the Lord for you.
