1 Kings 8:61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
FOR YOU
You know who you are
God sees your heart,
God sees your cries,
God knows how heavy your load,
God knows how weary your soul.
God hears all your prayers,
All the shouts of your hearts
In spite of all you still hold on.
God knows what will happen
And He wants you to keep the patience
And He wants you to keep the hope
And He wants you to keep believing
And He wants you to keep your heart in Him.
Just stay with Him until the end.
Remember what is it in the Bible:
Deuteronomy 31:6(KJV 1611)
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
Hebrew 13:5(KJV 1611)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
UPON THE NAME OF YESHUA LET US NOT CEASE PRAYING

For so many beautiful sunsets around, each shot have it's unique touch. Surprising is, day after day, different sunset auras awaits you.
GOD GIVES US THE INGREDIENTS FOR OUR DAILY BREAD, BUT HE EXPECTS US TO DO THE BAKING.
Day by Day
A mother once stopped by her recently married daughter's homeunexpectedly and was promptly greeted with a flood of tears. Alarmed, the mother asked, "what happened, dear?"
Her daughter replied, "It's not what happened, but what keeps happening!"
Even more concerned, the mother asked, "What is it that keeps happening!"
The daughter replied, "Every day there are dishes to be washed. Every day there are meals to be prepared and a lunch to be packed. Every day there is laundry to be done and beds to be made and a house to be cleaned."
"And?" the mother asked, still unsure as to the nature of the problem.
"Don't you see?" the daughter said through her tears. "life is just so daily."
On those days when the "daily-ness" of life seems to have you bogged down in boredom or drudgery, remind yourself the Lord said He would provide for the needs of His people on a daily basis. Manna was gathered in the wilderness every morning. Jesus taught His disciples to pray for their "daily bread." God wants to provide what we need, not only physically and materially, but also emotionally and spiritually, on day at a time.
Trust the Lord to give to you
* material goods, money, food, and supplies that you will need today.
* idea and creative energy that you need for today's work.
* stamina, health, and strength that you need today to fulfill your many roles and responsibilities.
* spiritual nourishment and fortitude to face and conquer the temptations and trials of today.
The Lord is with you all day, every day, day by day!
Give us this day our daily bread ~ matthew 6:11 KJV
got this from book "Quiet moments with God for mothers"
We have a very gloomy sky here for about a week, and a strong devastating typhoon is approaching our place.
Though even on rainy days the sun does still shines ~~(^o^)~~
******************************
Isaiah 61.1
One of the reasons that God came in the form of human flesh, in the life of His Son, Jesus Christ, was to show us that He is concerned about human need.
Jesus Christ identified with human need. He confronted, dealt with, and fought against human need of all types.
Jesus did not sit afar off, passing judgement of those in need or ignoring the needs of the people.
To the contrary! He rolled up His sleeves and marched straight forward into the greatest needs known to man.
After the Rains
Gray sky was over. And here I got the chance to have a shot of my lily with a blue sky background. And I really thanked God, that the devastating typhoon changed it's direction and headed to the sea. And we remained safe.
And I still pray that God may keep us still safe against this earthquake started 10:14 am. There is a possibility of succeeding one to come. May God calm down the earth shake, because many of us is not yet prepared for this.
In Jesus Name.
Too Many
For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22:14
FEW ARE CHOSEN
The call to salvation goes out to the many. However, the few who are chosen to inherit the Kingdom of Heaven are those who respond to God's call, repent of their sins and believe in Christ.
Responding to God's grace by the free exercise of our will brings us into the chosen people of God.

Galatians 2:20
hear this MP3
CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST
VERSE 1:
When I look back on what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive.
CHORUS:
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it%u2019s not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live.
VERSE 2:
As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds be to the cross but sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive.
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain.
(CHORUS)

White Raiment
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess
his name before my Father, and before his angels.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Revelation 3:5-6
Tagalog:
Ang magtagumpay ay daramtang gayon ng mga mapuputing damit; at hindi papawiin sa anomang paraan ang kaniyang pangalan sa aklat ng buhay,
at ipahahayag ko ang kaniyang pangalan sa harapan ng aking Ama, at sa harapan ng kaniyang mga anghel.
Ang may pakinig, ay makinig sa sinasabi ng Espiritu sa mga iglesia.
Japanese:
勝利を得る者は、このように白いころも着せられろ。 そして、わたしは、彼の名をいのちの書から消すようなことは決してしない。わたしは彼の名をわたしの
父の御前と使いたちの前で言あらわす。
耳のある者は御霊が諸協会に言われることを聞きなさい。
MAY WE HAVE TIME TO REFLECT THE REASON WHY CHRIST NEEDED TO DIE ON THE CROSS FOR US TO HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.
The very first tulip that bloomed in my veranda, i think the other day.
I just able to take a look with some of my shots, and this one caught my attention. The center looks like a performer singing like the one I use to hear from the church ....
I like this song because we could sing this both in english and in japanese.
Majesty, worship His Majesty,
Unto Jesus, be all glory honor and praise
...........
...........
Majesty worship, His Majesty, Jesus who died now glorified , King of all Kings
Want to share the Japanese Version
KAMI NO KOHITSUJI
Kami no kohitsuji Iesu ni Eikou to iki oito
Chie to chikara to to mito Homareto sanbi o sasageyou
Ten no euci bi nuza bi naebu
Minna hirefushiagameyou
Tenchi no subeteno tamiyo
Jujikano miwazao tataeyo
Visited my friend's church, and after the service, I joined their prayer walk.
This group is a small Filipino Fellowship group here in Japan
A look at inner faith.
Whom do I really follow?
Is it Christ?
Or myself and myself.
Is it Christ?
Or tradition and religion.
Is it Christ?
Or society and this world.
Is it Christ?
Or my friends and relatives.
Is it Christ?
Or my love one.
Is it Christ?
Or my church leaders?
What if they miss the road of Christ?
Nobody is perfect, even me and my leader.
Each and everyone fight the battle of faith.
The high and the low, the new and the old.
Everybody change, some remains, some fall,
Some overcome, some did not.
But God does not change. Christ does not change.
We might face one day, we are all alone and been left and betrayed.
But God remains faithful.
One day we will face, who'm I am really following?
A warning for myself. A warning for us.
The world is turning to a worst place of deceit, blinding us away from Truth.
This verse helped me so much dealing with people.
I came to a point that I feel so tired dealing with my co-workers, trying to keep the good relationship, even though there were many things I saw that was not fair.
Then an experience with a friend that trust was been dangered, and situations really became a headache, that if I will let my flesh rule over my faith, I will explode like a bomb.
And with all these situations, I was tired dealing with people. But everyday, on my table calendar ~~ "Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. " 1Peter 4:8
Keep telling myself, why let anger and negative feelings ruin peace around? I lay down everything in prayers.
Now, I don't bother them, and my friend, she is in great trouble, and my home is her only place to cry, so after work, I am occupied at home and I can't almost open up my flickr account.
If I was been carried away by my anger, where is this friend of mine have to go?
God is really so good!
It's February!!
Color it with God's love!
Group of different Missionaries and Evangelical Missionaries published this for intercessory prayer.
Why Christ in Japan?
He is the reason, why I am still standing until now. I live here in Japan, and only 1% are Christian. Spiritually, my souls cries out in agony living in this place.
It's a tough battle living in here. Imagine that I am one of those 1%. So here is my cry !!!!!!!!
Christ in Japan === salvation for Japan!
My son, Naito turned 6. Although we celebrated his birthday in advance, we still made a private family celebration.
Welcome Year 2007!!!Thanks God! I finally made my way retrieving this blog of mine, that I lost for almost century. The thoughts of keeping a regular blog was always been on the back of my mind. Year 2006 is a real busy year for me, with lots of happenings, events, and spiritual ups and downs.
I gave up keeping and updating an old html process of my own home page Everlasting Life. I've been thinking for long if it is wise for me to get a free add account, but I am not yet ready to make the heavy work of updating it.
I also gave up my active participation on yahoo Christian groups. It's impossible for me to read too many teachings, accommodating over 100 email per day, and to read and wait for the responses to my posts, or no responses at all, perhaps nobody read it, just like this blog of mine? LOL. I also gave up my own yahoo group. I can't keep a regular management of it, and many of my old friends, and members there were all missing online.
Instead of yahoo group type, I found Forum type are the best ways to communicate and easy to browse. You open and leave a topic, and can be back there so easy, even you've been away from the web for a quiet long period of time. It is so easy to dig. My favorite Forum online is for the Filipino group living in Japan the Timog Forum, I'd already met new friends in there in person.
My latest found hobby? Photography. I am a real novice in this field. But I am really enjoying my Flickr account. At first, I just enjoyed browsing the site, and got fascinated with so many beautiful shots in there, especially my flickr friends' shots. They really amazed me, with their wonderful shots. Then, one of my friends there, paid my flickr account as a wonderful birthday present. And the history begun. At this present time, I'm hooked to Flickr.
But I feel so guilty with my spiritual life. I felt that I am overdoing my Flickr browsing. With my very limited time to use for the cyber world, I used it all to Flickr, and extending my time to the limit, that I sacrifice managing home chores, and my Spiritual nourishment, as well as my children. Instead of staying awake at night praying and intercessory, as I used to do, I stay late at night awake in front of my computer. Oh! my dear Lord, please heal me. I need back my control.
