EXPERIENCE: Not The Best Teacher; THE LORD IS.

The God Holy Spirit, will transform Christians to the likeness of Jesus Christ, The Lord. (2Corinthians3:18→And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.)
The servant is not perfect, but just faithfully battles in the warfare of the self (spirit vs. flesh) in the pursuit of living for God.
From my complexity, I've learned to be simple..

From my pride, I've learned to be humble..
    From my neglected voice, I've learned to praise Him..
      From my self-confidence, I've learned to abide..
        From my disappointments, I've learned to be content..
          From my only declared love, I've learned to express it..
            From my immeasurable sins, I've been readily forgiven..
              From my complaints, I've learned to appreciate..
                From my own strength, I've learned to be weak..
                  From my head up high, I've learned to bow down & pray..
                    From leaning on my own wisdom, I've learned to trust..
                      From my impatience, I've learned to have faith & be quiet..
                        From my stubbornness, I've learned to obey..

                        From my confusion & weariness, I've learned sufficient grace..
                          And from my sinfulness, I've learned salvation in Christ alone..
                            Without God's abundant grace, mercy &love, who & what will I be?
                            For what is man that You are mindful of Him?
                            Who am I that You are mindful of me?
                            For it is only by Your grace that You've allowed me to love & obey You..
                            Thank you my Lord.. My God.. My Savior & Redeemer.

                            Cecelia Ahern books

                            The very first package I received in my entire 21years on  earth!! And, it's so memorable because it came from someone I didn't know but I was expecting the package anyway. Let me fill you up, last June 15, 2010, I was looking for a free e-book of the book P.S. I Love You written by Cecelia Ahern that i could download; preferably a PDF file. I was browsing through the choices google had presented me and an option struck me, that one which had this title: 5/4: STICKY!: Giving Away Some of My Books (ENDED) it said that free books are being given, though I was looking for an e-book. I checked it out only to find out that the offer is for those in Kuwait only, but i saw these 5 photos of Cecelia Ahern books, my eyes feasted on the photo and I suddenly tried to break the rule which says "INSIDE KUWAIT ONLY!!", by still sending an e-mail anyway at about 11:09PM that day.. I asked if there could really be no way that it could be shipped to other countries and I told where I was from; then the person replied and told me that she'll try to find a way for that. Then, I saw myself breaking another rule which says "don't give personal information to anyone on the internet" because I have given my full address and my mobile number to her.I had such an impulse on that moment but I still managed to pray that my safety is wouldn't be at risk.


                            We still had a few exchange of e-mails and I was asking on how I can contribute to the shipping expenses since I'm from a different country; but she told me that she appreciates it that I want to help with the expenses but also said that she refuse to accept any payments for the books and the shipping, and including in her message that just knowing that her books will be given to someone who would treasure it would be enough for her. Yeah, and that's the least I could do too. She even told me that once she had shipped it, she'll delete my e-mails containing my personal information since my privacy is extremely important to her, I really admire her for that character. I can't believe that someone like her exists. I mean, come on, free books and still be the one to pay for the shipping fee? Asking nothing in return? Is it for real? The answer is absolutely possible, and the Lord showed me that.


                            At June 23, 2010 4:48:12 AM, I received an e-mail from miss Dana (that's what she wrote in one of her e-mails), saying that it's done and I just have to e-mail her when I receive it. So I just waited fore several days. Sometimes, I even think that maybe they can't find our address or maybe something went wrong and I'm not waiting for anything anymore, but at July 10,2010 3:55 PM, I received a package from LBC and I was so excited about it, because I know what it was. 


                            And that's how it went, I immediately took pictures of it as attached in the beginning of this post, some of the pictures, I even sent to miss Dana through e-mail as a matter of thanking her also. Above all, praise God for His blessings and provisions. I didn't have money to buy these books, but still, i got it without spending anything. Amazing, Lord. <3

                            One's Story

                            Everyone has a story.. just that, well, not everyone speaks of it.. not everyone blurts it out to anyone nor in the web. some speak of it only in their hearts.. some, put it to writing where none can ever read it. some just finds a corner and cries it out.. while some lifts it up to the Almighty God.. some, only speaks out to their top secret keepers..

                            as for me? i usually tell a few chosen friends.. usually to my best friend.. put some things to writing, typing, keeping.. i also bring it up to the Lord.. but now, I'm taking the leap of faith; allowing my life to be an open book; and maybe, just maybe and hoping and praying to inspire one, make one smile, or even laugh and that's better. not targeting lots of human.. just one is enough to thank God for. :)
