'Becoming God's Conscious People'

in our life sometimes whether we realize or not, we
tend to be man's conscious, we tend to depend on
people around us and even sometimes we become satan's
conscious, when we have hard times, we say that's
satan who does it, etc..
now we're gonna learn how to become God's conscious
people ..

Rom 12:1-3 (From The Message)
There are 3 things, how we can be God's Conscious People:

1. Take your everyday life and placeit before God as an offering

12:1 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you:
Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping,
eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and
place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God
does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

- simply just watch our everyday life...
- example while we'r sleeping, God can give an
inspiration, we can pray for it
- don't forget that God wants only the best for our
life, so eventhough we face hard times just remember
His promise..

2. Fix your attention to God

12:2 Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture
that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead,
fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the
inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you,
and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around
you, always dragging you down to its level of
immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops
well-formed maturity in you.

- we need to change inside out
- we will become who we worship..so when we fix our
attention on God then we'll become more like Him
- He will reveal His purpose in our life, and we have
to obey Him, He will always bring the best out of us
- remember God will command The angels to watch/guard
over us
- the number of angles vs devil is 2:1, they who guard
us is much more than devil, so we don't need to be
afraid

3. Its by Grace, God bring it all to you

12:3 I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all
that God has given me, and especially as I have
responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as
every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important
that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are
bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all
to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves
is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by
what we are and what we do for him.

- just take God's grace and live your life
- don't miss interpret..its not us who bring goodness
to God but He's the one who bring it all to us
- Its not about us but God
- We must live a STRESS-FREE life...

Have a blessed life to you all....

Being In Love

C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity wrote, “Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling. Now no feeling can be relied on to last in its full intensity, or even to last at all....In fact, the state of being in love usually does not last....But of course ceasing to be ‘in love’ need not mean ceasing to love. Love...is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by the grace which both partners ask and receive from God....They can retain this love even when each would easily, if they allowed themselves, be ‘in love’ with someone else. ‘Being in love’ first moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enable them to keep their promise. It is on this love that the engine of marriage is run: being in love was the explosion that started it.” ---------------...

My baby's face..

finally we can have a picture how our baby would be look like... Yesterday me and david going for USG 4D.. Actually the best time to have USD 4D is when the pregnancy is only 6-7 months when the baby still small. our time is a bit too late coz the baby already big, so its a bit difficult to have a good image, but still we're so amazed to see how he got david nose...:) We can see all the body organs all in perfect condition, and the heart beat also perfect.. Can't wait to finally met him soon..... Here's some of the pictures..
