Seven signs of Undesirable Friend

This one is the warning sign for us.. remember that how we reach our destiny depend on the way we live..the way we live is influenced by the people we deal with every day..

I remember one sermon i heard says..
Show me your friend then i'll tell you what your future will be..
its so obvious that whoever stay close to you will determine our character and our future..
I'm not perfect as well..i took this message as a lesson for myself on the very first place and i'd like to share this to you as well...

Seven Signs of Undesirable Friend
1. An undesirable friend is immoral and has no regard for others. "I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner - not even to eat with such a person" (1 Corinthians 5:11)
2. An undesirable friend is changeable and unstable. "Do not associate with those given to change; for their calamity will rise suddenly, and who knows the ruin those two can bring?" (Proverbs 24:21-22)
3. An undesirable friend is frequently angry. "Make no friendship with an angry man, and with a furious man do not go, lest you learn his ways and set a snare for your soul." (Proverbs 22:24-25)
4. An undesirable friend gives ungodly counsel. "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungoldly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful." (Psalm 1:1)
5. An undesirable friend is a lawless unbeliever. " Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an ubeliever?" (2 Corinthians 6:14-15)
6. An undesirable friend friend is a fool. "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed." (Proverbs 13:20)
7. An undesirable friend is irreverent toward God and His laws. "I am a companion of all who fear You, and of those who keep Your precepts." (Psalm 119:63)

If you have friends with such characteristics as these, ask God to send you new friends while you pray for the old ones to be transformed.
Remember that it takes a very long time and God's miracle to change people's character..

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..
