weekly breath

Scripture

“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.” Psalms 100:4

The People

Please pray for the people of Egypt. With over 80 million people, Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a tremendous history. Please pray that all the people of Egypt who truly seek God will find Him, and that Christ will be glorified in Egypt.


“Give thanks to the Lord.” It is so important to give thanks to our wonderful God. In America at this time of year, there is a holiday Thanksgiving that is specially set aside to give thanks.

God is the source of every good thing in our lives. In heaven He will be with us forever and will give us every good gift. Here on earth, the greatest gift of all is His Son Jesus who died on the cross for our sins. “He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all — how will He not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?”

So let us give thanks to God. You can give thanks for who He is — our Savior, our Lord, the creator of the universe. You can give thanks for His character — He is loving, and kind, and forgiving, and just, and patient. You can give thanks for the good things in your life — for life, and air to breathe, and food, and your family. And you can even give thanks in the middle of tough times, because God will see you through them and even in difficult circumstances He can bring good in your life.

So let us give thanks! This week, let us pray and

* Give thanks to God for who He is and His wonderful love to us
* Give thanks to God by faith for His financial provision this year and next year for us all
* Give thanks to God for one specific thing He has done for you this year.

THANK YOU so much for your love and prayers. We are brothers and sisters in Christ with all true believers all around the world. People from countries all over the world get this prayer email; someday we will meet in heaven!

May God bless you at this time of Thanksgiving,

Thanks for my friends at Global Media Outreach

Letter

Dear You,


This is a long overdue letter,and for that I am sorry.In fact,a lot of what i want to say in this letter is about apologizing.I never made a conscious choice to hurt you.And yet I have-in so many different ways. Strangely enough,my motivation for doing most of the abusive stuff I did to you was about trying to make me-us feel better.
From as far as I remember , I never felt completely normal,or at least what i thought was normal.I would look at other guy and they just seemed better,smarter and basically more together.I realize now that we all struggle and probably all feel like everyone else is more blessed with something that we didn’t get.
I am sorry for the way I treated you.I am sorry for the things I have said and for the complete lack of faith I have had in you at times.I apologize for not regarding you in the way you deserve,and most of all for not placing you needs above all others.I have looked everywhere but to you for the love I need.I have done things and acted in ways that are shameful.all in the name of earning someone else love,when all the time there you were just waiting for me to look inward.
I know you know that our journey will be a long one,and it will be far from easy.I am afraid that I will fail again,and there is a voice that speaks loudly warning me not to even try,that I am only asking for disappointment.But you deserve a hundred more attempts at getting it right and if that is what it takes,well then,a hundred more it will be.
I know ,as you do,that the journey will be filled steps forward,followed by steps back.But that is okay.Each day I will wake up with a renewed effort and a humble prayer for the guidance I need to get back to you and to be spirit that is truly me.
I know you forgive me and I am so grateful for that.Today is a new day and,with you love and support, I will take those small,but very important,steps forward.


By Love,
Me

Daily Breath

Scripture

“Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; He is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep His commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9

The People

Please pray for the people of Argentina. Argentina is one of the largest countries in South America, with over 40 million people, and is rich in history. Please pray that everyone in Argentina would come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The Power

The Jesus Film is the most widely translated film in human history and tells the story of Jesus Christ. This short tells the true story of Jesus calling Peter to be a fisher of men.


God is faithful! Have you ever had someone who betrayed you — who you could not trust?

God is the exact opposite of that — He is totally faithful and trustworthy. “He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.” You can know for sure that God loves you — and that He will always do what is best for you. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.”

If you are walking across a bridge, you want to know that the bridge will hold your weight — that you can trust walking on it. Please know that God is altogether trustworthy — no one who truly trusts in Him will ever be put to shame. God is faithful, and loving, and kind — His nature is truth. You can trust in Him with your whole life and He will never let you down.

We want the whole world to know Christ! So this week, can you please pray that

* God will help you to truly trust in Him with your whole heart
* God will help us reach even more people for Jesus Christ using the internet
* God will protect our staff and bless our newly revised site

May God bless you each and every day this coming week,Amen.

Perfect Love

"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, and always perseveres." - 1 Cor. 13:4-7

A Song For XX

Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why did I stop?
Please tell me
When will I grow up?
How long can I stay a child?
Where have I come running from?
Where am I running to?

I had no place to live.
I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."I didn't want those words at all.So I pretended not to understand.

Why are you laughing?
Why are you by my side?
Why are you leaving me?
Please tell me.
When did you become strong?
Since when have you felt weakness?
How long must you wait
for the day you understand to come?

The sun is rising.

I must go soon.
I can't stay in the same place forever.
You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.
I thought it was the same as being rejected.
At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.
I definitely knew too much.
They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."
The more people said things like that,the more even laughing became agony.
I was born alone.

I'll go on living alone.
I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.

All The Earth

Father
Into Your courts I will enter
Maker of heaven and earth
I tremble
In Your holy presence

Glory
Glory in Your sanctuary
Splendor and majesty Lord
Before You
All life adores You

All the earth
Will declare
That Your love is everywhere
The fields will exalt
Seas resound

Hear the trees’
Joyful cry
Praising You and so will I
A new song I’ll sing
Lord I will

Glorify and bless Your holy name

Amen.

When ...... Everything will be okay

When she is crying on your shoulder ,
And you don't know what to say ,
Just whisper softly in her ears,
that everything will be okay.

When she says her heart is broken,
And her soul feel so alone ,
Just tell her that you love her ,
Just tell her on the phone .

When you hear her breath so gently
and see tears fall from her eyes ,
Wipe them one by one away ,
Tell her everybody cries ,
And soon she will look up on you ,
And maybe start to smile ,
And thank you for being there
Through all the painful while .
And you’ll look down in her golden eyes ,
And know just what to say :
That on you she can Depend
and everything will be okay .

Forgive yourself

Forgive yourself

We seldom think about forgiving ourselves,but it is an important step in loving ourselves.You probably aren’t aware that there are things you haven’t forgiven yourself for,but if you think about it,you may find that there are.,Right now there are probably a couple of things that you feel guilty,ashamed,or angry at yourself about .
So how do you go about forgiving yourself ?Basically the same way you forgive someone else.Start by getting in touch with what it is you feel bad about .Try to understand why you did what you did and what you intentions were.More often than not,you will find that your intentions weren’t bad ; you just made a mistake or used poor judgement.
If you have done something that endangered your well-being or the well-being of others,it is still important to forgive yourself.Forgiveness is not the same as saying it was okay to do something you now know was wrong. You aren’t condoning your behavior;You are simply forgiving yourself for the poor judgement that led you to it.Try to learn something from your mistake,allow yourself to feel the pain it caused,and decide not to do it again.If you need help preventing yourself from engaging in dangerous behavior again,talk to an adult ( me ) you trust to find out the best way to get assistance.One you have gone through the process of forgiving yourself,then it is time to move on.
This advices make reminds me about us. You always said that you were not good enough for me. You just too care about the money,you just too care about me,you just too neglecting yourself,you just too paying attention on me,until... you manage to spit it out on me,i find out that both of us are really depending on what we actually don’t have. “It is always good to hate something you have,than to love something you don’t have”.I am really agree with this.. You know what ? Everytime we lose each other,pretending that we both have others,we find out that we’ll be more suffer than before. Why ? this is because we are lying each other . Who ask for break up ? Or should I say who forces who to break up ? We both have mistakes,right ? So,whenever this situation came,we both always said: “I’m so sorry to you,because after all of this time, I find out that you are not happy but suffer all of this time,I realize that I’m not the one for you, maybe you should pick her/him,because he/she will be perfect for you.” Oh please... everybody makes mistake,but the fact is,do you want to give up just like that ? or just apologizing ? or take a forwards steps and learn something valuable thing from the incident? Its depend on you! because you know what you want and you just know how to set things right !
I don’t blame you everytime we have a problems,I just blame myself how can I let you do such a things to me ? As you know,instead of hurt you more, I prefer to hurt you less... Because we are on our way to provide each other a medicine to understand each others and of course if we could, we try to not hurt anybody after that.

Forgive Others

Forgive Others
“Forgiveness is the oil of relationship” Do you agree with the statements ?
We could all do without the day we find out someone has been spreading rumors about us . No one is thrilled to find out a friend has been flirting big-time with the guy age likes or, even worse, with her boyfriend.Then these things happen ,it is natural to be angry and hurt.When the hurt is fresh,you may vow that will never forgive the person who made you sad or upset or unhappy.. But after some time passed and you have had the opportunity to talk it out or let the intensity of the pain subside,it is time to think about forgiving.
Forgiveness does not mean you are saying the behavior that hurt you was okay.And it’s quite possible that you might choose to end your relationship based on what happened.Some action are unforgivable,but most aren’t. Holding a grudge-clinging to the hurt and pain – will just make you feel worse .In order to completely heal,you have to forgive.Once you have forgiven,there is space inside your heart to feel more joy,more happiness and more love.
I had learned a valuable things from you. I was once a very mean and hard to forgive others person. I was cruel and I was always think for my own benefits and steps away of others advantages. But sometimes forgive can’t be seek or find. Because its lay within your heart.I hate people,who use to say a words of apologizing but they do nothing after that. And one of the guy is you! You think you are doing the most correct things in this world that is to let me happy,but you failed because you’re not able to make me happy instead of make me more upset and angry. Because you never do what we have discussed and you always do it on your own. Why ? I’ll let yourself find the answer .
People use to make me laugh is because they do happy with me not pretending to be happy... Takes note on that.. so whenever you think of something new to heal me or persuade me,its easy. Let yourself happy first.

Love

Love doesn’t always dressed in the package we want.It doesn’t arrived on our schedule and it doesn’t follow our guidelines and rules .
It is intangible,unpredictable and ...em.. certainly uncontrollable. This is what make it painful but this also what makes it so wonderful and great .
We need to remember to be grateful and honored by its presence in our lives.Be careful not to make rules where love is concerned. Be careful not to let it pass you by just because it doesn’t present itself the way you think it should. When a friend or loved one offers support or pays you a compliments, allow yourself to be receptive.
When you are hurting and in need of nurturing,let others love you ( me ).
When you feel uncomfortable being on the receiving side of love .Try to remember:the more love you’re able to receive,the more love you have to give to others and to yourself. Open your heart and let it in .

Let it go

Let it Go

Throughout your life you will be faced with the challenge of letting go. You may have to let go of a pet that has to be put to sleep , a friend who has moved to another state , or even your favourite shirt that’s been shrunk in the dryer . No matter how big or small your loss might be, letting go is never easy . Your ability to let go is like a muscle you must develop . The more you practice the stronger it gets .
Its important to understand exactly what is means to let go . If your best friend moves far away, you must let go of your attachment to living close to her . You have to learn to be okay with the fact that you wont be going to the mall together every weekend , walking to school side by side , or sitting together at lunch . However , you don’t have to let go of your love for her , and don't have to let go of your friendship . You only have accept that the things you do together as friends are going to be different now . Letting go is the willingness to accept change and loss.
Understanding the difference between love and attachment is very helpful when a romantic relationship ends . At first thing that reminds you of him – the song you used to hear , the places you used to go . You feel like crying everytime you think of him . The only explanation you can think of for how strongly you feel is that maybe you’re still in love with him .
What’s more likely is that you are feeling the effects of severing and attachment . When you let someone into your life romantically , it’s like the two of you weave a blanket around yourselves . When you split up , you have to slowly let the blanket unravel . Each thread that pulls apart can feel painful,even excruciating.But the thing you want to remember is this : Although you are miserable now , you will feel better soon.This is a guarantee. You will not feel this sad forever. Just as it took time to develop an attachment to your boyfriend , it will take time to let it go.
It is also important to be able to let go of your stress . When you catch yourself worrying or obsessing over something you really can’t do anything about,gently remind yourself :This is out of my control. I am going to let it go. This is different from ignoring your problems. You are simply letting go of the anxiety you stop trying to control things and surrender to what it is .
Letting go of a serious problem like an eating disorder or drug addiction is extremely challenging. It can take a long time before you realize you even have a problem. It can take even longer before you realize you are ready to get over it . You may have developed the eating disorder or drug addiction as a way to cope with other painful issues in your life. It is often necessary to turn to others-people already in your life and professionals like therapists and doctors-for objective feedback and support.
Whether you are letting go of a relationship that is no longer healthy or the pain you carry due to personal problems you’ve endured,remind yourself that you are freeing up space in your life for new, positive experiences,people,and emotions.
And this is what I do to let go of myself from loving you...

Second Chance to be Me

Second Chance to be Me
Today for a second I waited,
A pause that I needed to take,
Held tight were my eyes to the pillow,
Delayed was the motion to wake.
A moment was needed to listen,
To the silence that filled the new day.
A moment to be more decisive,
About the self that I want to portray.

Sometimes I wish I felt pretty,
Sometimes I wish I was more,
Sometimes I wish I could vanish,
Through a promising wide – open door.
Sometimes I wish I felt needed.
Sometimes I wish it was true.
Sometimes I wish I could realize,
All the things that I’ve needed to do.

But the wishes of maybe are countless,
And the hours do not disagree,
That time makes a habit of slipping away
And there’s only one chance to be me.

I’ll always know when I’m tired
And I’ll always know each mistake.
I’ll always know when I’m fake.
I’ll never regret that which happens,
I’ll never deny a good friend.
I’ll never, on purpose, harm my own heart,
I’ll be there for me in the end.

The only way to be happy and successful; Do it Anyway

Do it Anyway


People are often unreasonable, irrational and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you;
Be honest and sincere anyway.
What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight;
Create anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, will often be forgotten;
Do good anyway.
Give the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give your best anyway.
In the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

- Mother Teresa

Inspiration

Inspiration

Life is so strange.Why some people are born and do nothing but suffer their whole lives.Poverty,pain,whatever the case is.And some people grow up with a life of luxury.I don’t have a perfect life,but there is nothing i would change.I wish I could sit here and say I thank God every day for my blessings,but that would be a lie.I don”t thank God nearly enough.When I think of people who are blind,I can’t imagine going a day without seeing the sun come in thought my window,or not being able to look into people’s eyes when they speak.And then,when I think of people who are deaf,I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to not hear the one I love saying, or his sweet voice whispering, “ I love you.” I’m so very blessed , and i think most of us tend to take our blessings for granted. Of course, I wish something were different.I wish I could weight a little less,be a tad bit prettier,and have the books that i wanted so badly and taste those Ice - Cream everytime I want to. I wish i could look at people and not judge them . I wish I could let Mom hug me once in a while. But unfortunately,we don’t always get what we wish for,and I’m more than willing to settle for what I have tonight. When I go to bed, I think I ‘ll let my Mom hug me and I’ll tell her I love her .And the most important is,I’ll tell her that how much He means to me. If she can just let me do things on my own,how great it is.I don’t wish for a brand new car so I can drive wherever I want, I don’t wish for money to buy the things I wish to buy and I don’t want to argue with her just because I’m still young and I do not know how to choose the white and the black.Sometimes if you just let me do what i wanted to do Mom,you’ll find out that there is nothing less important than just having the time that i wish to spend with him.Why you just can’t see that .So, I’ll try to go to bed a little earlier so maybe i won’t be so tired to think about the problems I used to faced every single moment in a day and I can actually pay attention in Physics class and tomorrow, I will eat a little healthier ,I’ll do my hair nice and I’ll take Fishy for a walk after school. Just to feel better about myself. And when I get home, I’ll look in the mirror and tell myself that everything will be just perfectly fine. Maybe next week i will go to my friends' house and see how they can help me and to look into their eyes a little deeper than usual after all, I have only one life to live, so I better make it good and about this whole inspiration thing,if life itself isn’t something to celebrate, I don’t know what it is.

Mother Teresa Quotes

Mother Teresa Quotes

Abortion

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill

is nothing between.

it by giving way to coldness, unkindness, or impatience.

each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.
Mother Teresa

Silence

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness.

in our own home. Bring love into your home for this is where our
love for each other must start.
Mother Teresa

Unwanted

The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather
the feeling of being unwanted.

we try to do it as beautifully as possible.
Mother Teresa

Heart Of The Matter

Heart Of The Matter

When all is said and done, relationship are all that really matter. It doesn’t matter how much money we have, where we live, or how beautiful toys we’ve collected. None of these can comfort us, console us, cry with us, or love us. Our investment in the people we care about is the only legacy that has the power to endure beyond our lifetime.

God designed us to be in relationship both vertically with Him and horizontally with the people around us . Even though we may have a deep desires to connect with our families, friends, and communities, we've all experienced some of the messiness of relating to others. Expectations, disappointed, betrayals, hurts, lies, misunderstanding- there are so many obstacles to loving other people and being loved by them. But we were created for relationship, and we must be concerned about them ever before.

If you've ever lost a loved one, you know how important it is to try to wrap up any unfinished business between you.It can be as simple as expressing how much you love each or as complicated as discussing the impact of a lifetime of failures and then asking forgiveness. Either way, both of you consider priority- rearranging schedule if necessary , traveling great distances and speaking from your hearts.

Today,though , most of us are so busy. Like me as a student, I've got a lot of homework to do and I always under pressure as i have to paddle my own canoe, plus i have someone to take good care of. And until that time, another colour turns to grey. If I would want to give them the gift of time together,to say all the things that i wanted to say or share the things that i had wanted to share. I would want to leave them with memories, words, and a personal investment that would linger long.

Until now, there are so much things that i wanted to share with you. I wish that we can share our opinion together. I wish we could spend the holidays togeter. I never knew that I could hurt like this.Every memories decorated my life. If only I can experienced that memories again, how spectacular it would be....We would only appreciated that once it lost. Why? Why do we wair until people are dead to give them flowers? It seems ironic that most of us value relationship but don't depend the energy to invest in them fully. In hyperspeed hustle of our overscheduled lives, many of us tend to take others for granted.We should realize just how much we need other people as well as how much they need us.
