Taking away my happiness.

The last 24 hours has been a personal struggle. I recently found out that certain people I thought I could trust have been talking behind my back. There was a good 4 hours were I was silenced with shock. I was beginning to be scared and doubt began to enter my mind. Up until that point, I had complete trust in the will of The Lord and the plans he has made for me and my family. Now, I was not so sure anymore. I tried praying for it but no inspiration came.

I started getting glimpses of quotes, passages, and sayings.

“Man cannot destroy what The Lord has created.”

I began to understand that a person’s opinion should not be a determination on how you feel. Why should man make me feel bad about what THE LORD has blessed me with?

Finally, I came across this on the net.

It really does speak truth. Man should never be in position to take your happiness. If you allow man to determine your happiness and self-worth, you are giving man way more power than he deserves.

Lesson learned… Now if only the Knicks can pull of a win in game 6 against the Pacers in Indiana.

Why should I worry

As a Christian, why should I let life’s trivial problems get to me? I am a visitor to this place for my home is not here but in heaven. Why worry about something that the lord has control over?

Philippians 4:6-7
New International Version (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Selling god – making money on Jesus name (preview)

Came across a movie entitled “Selling god” and I must say its a disturbing yet eye opening movie. You can watch the movie by searching for it on Netflix. It is also on their instant movie section.

I Will be writing about the movie after I finish all my finals this weekend. In the meanwhile, if you have already watched the movie, I would appreciate your thoughts on the subject matter.

In Jesus name,

Ramblings of your average Christian

Tonight, i have this feeling in me to praise the name of Jesus and give thanks. It really is hard to describe. There is no rhyme or reason. I did not hit the lottery. My health and the health of my family is good. Today was just filled with little events that when totaled together show me the love that Christ has for myself.

My youngest daughter (kyla) was taking a nap earlier and as she was laying next to me i began to really look at her face. It was so soft, peaceful, and perfect. It was like looking at her mother (though some say that kyla actually looks like me). I remember saying thanks to God for sending me such a gift. Kyla’s first year on earth was not easy. It took numerous trips to the hospital and lots of prayers but she is now a healthy baby.

Just before kyla took nap, we were all watching tv in the living room. I was laying on the floor watching tv when all of the sudden nyah (4 years old) jumps on my belly; gave me a huge hug and kiss ans say “i love you daddy”. As quick as she jumps of my stomach, she jumps off as proceeds on her way.

I have never been one to question the existence of God. I do not need to see him to know that he is out there. There is no need to have a conversation with him. To put it in words that kids would understand; if i never got a text message from him i wouldnt be heart broken. When the lord sets up my days as he did today, well, thats all the proof i need that he is out there.

I pray that you all have experienced days like this.

In Jesus name,

PJ
