Bible Verses (3 of 5)

Posted on August 4, 2006 by edwinting

When in need of a miracle …

Ask and it will be given to you;
Seek and you will find;
Knock and the door will be open to you.

For everyone who asks receives;
he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

(Luke 11: 9-10)

When you want something really bad … when nothing else seems to work out …
In fact, this one applies in all real life scenarios. One of my “Favs”!

Have a good weekend!

Bible Verses (2 of 5)

Posted on August 3, 2006 by edwinting

When in need of provision or in fear …

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He  leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the precense of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

(Psalms 23)

When everything seems to go against you … when you feel in need … when you need comfort …

When in doubt:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and do not lean on your own understanding.

In all your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight.

…

Have no fear of sudden disaster
or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked.

for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being snared.

(Proverbs 3: 5-6, 25-26)

Emotions – Learn to Get it right, Use it Right…

Posted on August 2, 2006 by fionnalee

In life, it’s about choices…with the many available choices, you have to make a decision..to derive to this decision…there will be many flashback of prior experience, Family, Friends, Social Responsibility, some people use their rationality to make a decision while the more emotional people make decision using their feelings at that moment about that situation, that is not GUT Feel…as gut feel is a thin slicing process , followed by decision making made subconsciously that requires a lot of prior experience for the thin slicing process to take place..

Back to my blog..i realise when one makes a decision, it’s not about yourself and it has never been about yourself…i used to believe strongly, it’s my life so why should i care too much about others in my decision making..it’s my life that is affected..but i realised that what comes after is the word “RESPONSIBility” of course i can take responsibility of my actions..but the problem steps in when i realise that i become overly concern with the problems caused to others as a result of my decision..maybe this is my character…i feel bad about it…and it did cause a Turning point in my life….which i think is good…maybe bad in my uncle’s eyes

I become more careful and think twice or thrice bfore i make a decision again…

“But you can’t use that as a reason why you are doing this”..he blurted….”

“You will not understand..i no longer make decisions upon emotions…i try not to” i argued..that is my weakness…in the past…

To conclude:

Human are emotional animals …use your emotions at the right time- that is the key to everything but never let people know your emotional state of mind, emotions can be advantageous when used at the right time, right moment and can be disastrous when it gets out of control”

Life is about choices

Posted on August 1, 2006 by edwinting

Life isn’t about keeping score.
It’s not about how many people call you and it’s not about who you’ve dated, are dating or haven’t dated at all.
It isn’t about who you’ve kissed, what sport you play, or which guy or girl likes you.
It’s not about your shoes or your hair or the color of your skin or where you live or go to school.
In fact, it’s not about grades, money, clothes, or colleges that accept you or not.
Life isn’t about if you have lots of friends, or if you are alone,
and it’s not about how accepted or unaccepted you are.

Life just isn’t about that.

But life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It’s about how you feel about yourself.
It’s about trust, happiness and compassion.
It’s about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love.
Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence.
It’s about what you say and what you mean.
It’s about seeing people for who they are and not what they have.
Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else’s in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.

These choices are what life’s about.

Inspirational Thoughts (4 of 4)

Posted on July 31, 2006 by edwinting

Giving and Receiving

I launched a smile; far out it sailed
On life’s wide troubled sea.
And many more than I could count
Came sailing back to me.

I clasped a hand while whispering,
“The clouds will melt away.”
I felt my life was very blessed
All through the hours that day.

I sent a thought of happiness
Where it was needed sore,
And very soon thereafter, found
Joy adding to my store.

I wisely shared my slender hoard,
Toil-earned coins of gold;
But soon it flowed right back,
Increased a hundredfold.

I helped another climb a hill,
A little thing to do;
And yet it brought a rich reward,
A friendship that was new.

I think each morning when I rise,
Of how I may achieve,
I know by serving I advance,
By giving I receive.

Ok, end to these series, but, since it’s so well received, I just might carry on in some other manner. =)

Inspirational Thoughts (3 of 4)

Posted on July 30, 2006 by edwinting

CONTROLS

You cannot control the length of your life,
but you can control its width and depth.
You cannot control the contour of your countenance,
but you can control its expression.
You cannot control the other person’s opportunities,
but you can grasp your own.
You cannot control the weather,
but you can control the moral atmosphere which surrounds you.
You cannot control the distance that your head shall be above the ground,
but you can control the height of the contents of your mind.
You cannot control the other person’s faults,
but you can see to it that you yourself do not develop or harbour provoking propensities.

Why worry about things you cannot control?
Get busy controlling the things that depend on you.
