sTiLL the saMe oNLy better

It was and still a special and memorable day. I will never forget the exact events that happened during that day. It was October 2006 when i attended a certain retreat in our church, the "encounter God retreat". Many people already did their testimonies about that certain retreat that after it you're life really will change. I know their testimonies are true for i really see their difference. I knew that a month after that our family will transfer here in Doha, i don’t want to have any regrets, and I joined.



The retreat lasts for three days and i was down to the last day on the retreat. Still i haven't found or felt the change that they were talking about. The session ended i walked out of the church, wondering what would happen to me now. I never wanted to go out since i really felt different during the retreat. At that point i was feeling scared and lost. I believe it was God who put the song into my mind, the song that our pastor sings every night before we go to sleep. The song is entitled still. I believe it is form the book of Psalms chapter 49 verse 15-16.



I believe that God really want me to have that song. That song thought me a lot of things. Whenever I’m down or troubled all i have to do is be still and He is God. He would not give me something i couldn't handle. Through that song i had a better view of life. I became optimistic; I began to regard everything as a blessing. I know that I don’t have to worry since I don’t have anything to worry about. God is with me and always will be.

    uh... i'm not gonna go for your grammar coz i got the sense anyways :) but you know, i noticed you really are into songs aren't you? God speaks to you in songs (or life in general). somehow that's something that sticks to you a lot. :) that's really cool coz i love music and life speaks to me in that way too :) keep God in your heart always and the difference is already there: salvation :)

MARIEL!

HAHA whaT mariel means by urban dictionary XD SUPER LOL A girl that is very spontaneous that always has some amazing advise to give. She'll always be there even if she has something better to do. Basically the best person you can meet in life. =] also, very talented. "Dangggggg that Mariel girl has got it going on!!!" Not, as said by other people, a slut, but in fact a highly intelligent, sarcastic, virgin. They frequently sigh at the stupidity that they are surrounded with Jazz: I dont dress slutty, i get all A's, AND my IQ is 120 Ho: Psshaw! Your SUCH a Mariel. Im going to go have sex with 10 diffrent guys then fail all my tests and repeat the grade! A dumbass who has no idea what is going on around her (or him but that would be weird) Mariel thought there was fifty-one states yesterday, so i slapped her and she shut up.

mY 4th yr project in values.. as i remember it.. our teacher asked us to choose which philosophy is best applied in our lives.. and this is how i did it! :)) --- HAHAHA ANG HABA PALA XD --- I, my self, prefer to be more of a realist. Realism is seeing things as what they truly are. It is not wrong to dream and to create a vision of what you want to be or how things you want to be in the future but being able to see the true value of a certain object is, to what I believe, is a blessing. I once read in a book, though it is only in the writer’s opinion, it says that when you die you will not actually go to this “paradise” but instead God will give you the chance for Him to explain your life and that will be the greatest gift you can ever receive. I believe in that. That being able to see the real meaning why you have met this certain someone, experienced this certain situation and felt those certain feelings will be the best reward one can ever receive. Through realism, we can achieve th
