Photo not mine
Are you compromising? Doing it your way? Insisting your own timeline? Well... Think twice!
“Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”
Proverbs 19:20-21 ESV

He is a great God.
He is an awesome, wonderful God.
Mighty in power, author of wisdom.

One of my favorite worship songs. I like this song because the adjectives used by Ptr. Archie Castillo in describing God really fits how I experience and consider HIM in my life.
I pray that every word used to describe God in this song will not be a cliche and that as we sing thisJoice Villamorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00237055889980489472noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283997215804951184.post-48699701305758085182013-09-27T01:56:00.000+08:002013-09-27T01:57:54.546+08:00Never Give UpToday, during Leaders Huddle with Our Lady of Fatima University (OLFU) students, we've shared our highlights and low moments for the week.

I'm reposting this article I've read from boundless.org written by Suzanne Hadley Gosselin. I believe that most single men and women can relate to this at some point.
Close male-female friendships can be fun and engaging, but are women putting their emotions at risk?
The other day I was having lunch with a friend, and she began to pour out an all-too-familiar story.

(Proverbs 19:11 NIV)
I believe all of us needs to be reminded of this verse. These two - being impatient and being sensitive - are most likely being used by the enemy to attack us. As soon as we feel these, everything else becomes blurry, unstable, and out of control.

"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". (Jeremiah 29:11)
This verse has somewhat became a cliche to most people. But this morning, it gave another meaning to me and some friends.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." (John 10:10 ESV)

"Prayer is powerful - but do you know how to pray for yourself?
It may seem easier to pray for your spouse, your children, your friends, and your extended family, but God wants to hear your requests for your life too. He loves it when you come to Him for the things you need and ask Him to help you become the woman you have always longed to be."
