dessagirl's QT

have been finding comfort in God's word lately.. this has been my food.. my strength to do what i have to do..

my quite time has been real quality time with God.. and i thank Him for that..

here are the materials i use:

i found comfort and strength in these words:
~in the midst of turmoil of life, when we think all we want is to be left alone, Jesus extends His nail scarred hand and invites us to be His friends...

~loneliness may be a root from which good things can spring...

~we alone cannot achieve our own dreams. we need the miracle of God's participation

~hope allows us to face the future, no matter how difficult our present may be

~for He has delivered me from all my troubles

~fear not, for i am with you. Do not be dismayed for i am your God. i will strenghthen you, yes, i will help you, i will uphold you wiht my righteous hand.

~the place of solitude is where we are changed. it's where we abandon some of our agendas, discover new directions, and find a new self

~faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen

MY FAVORITE: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" JEREMIAH 29:11

~dessagirl's~ natural highs....

this is a random list. these are little things that make me feel really good about life:

1. i get my favorite spot in a really nice, clean, cool shuttle to and from work!
2. someone gives me a goofy item (whatever it is..) without me asking
3. i read a bible verse and feel that God is talking directly to ME!
4. i see my crush looking at me! (na ayaw ko pa rin aminin hanggang ngayon na crush ko sha..)
5. the wind blows thru my window in our room ~ for me, this means God is telling me He loves me
6. fresh clean sheets! love falling asleep to that clean smell.. zzzz...
7. my little square pillows i had since i was a baby
8. free food!!!!!
9. breakfast buffet.. esp if shared with people who mean a lot to me
10. when it rains right after i get home.. hay salamat..

God is awesome!

CCBFH Kidz Encounter

the EGR (Encounter God Retreat) last 2004 helped me improve the WORSHIP aspect of my life.. it has a been a big help and i'm still wishing that people who mean a lot to me would attend it...

nways, the Lord allowed me to be part of the staff for the first Kidz Encounter (EGR for kids) of Christ's Church in BF Homes.

Lessons were exactly the same in content but were presented thru skits and demos to get thru the kids. loved it! got to play small parts in short skits..

Those who went thru the EGR will understand how important "THE CROSS" is. this part reminds you of what Jesus did for you.. this part makes you realize that the Lord has suffered so much to pay for our sins.. for the Kidz Encounter, we did a skit of "The Cross".. though i was one of the actors, i couldnt help but cry when the kids started crying.. i know the Lord touched their hearts for them to realize and comprehend the gift of salvation.

Our team worked with Pastor Dhenz and 5 of his G12 members..we are so blessed to have them conduct the enounter..

I pray that more children will get to expereince this.. To God be the glory!
