Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire.
If you did, what would there be to look forward to?

Be thankful when you don't know something,
for it gives you the opportunity to learn.

Be thankful for the difficult times.
During those times you grow.

Be thankful for your limitations,
because they give you opportunities for improvement.

Be thankful for each new challenge,
because it will build your strength and character.

Be thankful for your mistakes.
They will teach you valuable lessons.

Be thankful when you're tired and weary,
because it means you've made a effort.


It's easy to be thankful for the good things.
A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks.

Gratitude can turn a negative into a positive.
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles,
and they can become your blessings

Thank you for adding me, Carmell. Hope you enjoy your time here. Mabuhay!

Hello again!
It looks like you are really likeing it here. That is great. I think that it is soo cool that the Internet has such groups as this to be a positive influence on the generation of today. I didnt ever think there would be groups like this on the internet, but like on alot of other things, I was wrong. God can do anything He wants. Including using the latest technology to reach out to those who hurt. Its pretty cool. Well, keep on having fun and if you have any questions, let me know!!

Hello Carmel!
How are you sister?
Its awesome that you are still here and enjoying it. So, what is going on lately in your neck of the woods? Well, besides our family being sick, we are ok. Im busy painting up some signs for my churches Harvest Party. I always help them every year at this time. I use to work full time for them as an artist, but then after my second child it wa sreally hard. So Im painting when I can. How is your job as a accounts recievable Analysts going? What exactly is that position? As an artist, that sounds really complicated to me! I know, Im clueless. but anyway, God Bless you sister and you have a great day and a great week!
He loves you!!

Soul food for the Day: The CENTER...

The center chapter of the BIBLE is Psalm 118.. there are 594 chapters before and after Psalm 118
And if we will add this we will get 1188... in which the center verse of the BIBLE is PSALM 118:8
What is the significant of Psalm 118:8 in God's perfect will for our lives?
It is better to trust in the LORD, than to put confidence in man.-- Psalm 118:8


When things get tough, always remember faith doesn't get you around trouble..
it gets you through it!
When you relinquish the desire to control your future you obtain happiness...

Prayer:
Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day....
May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have closer relationship with you. Amen...

thank you for joining YOUTH CONVERGENCE..




Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth;

meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.---JOSUE 1:8
Many people keep asking these things:



Yes... The secret of life was already revealed to all of us as written in Josue 1:8
before, i never knew about this because i was totally blinded by the god of this world
1 Cor. 4:3-4--And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
But to those who abide in His Words
remain standing firm, whatever storms in life encounter...
The Word of God ( The Holy Bible ) is the manual of our life...it's difficult to use something like a computer if we don't know how to operate it and not reading the manual of it... same as our life... it will be difficult for us to carry our cross in life if we don't know His words and God's promises...in which can be found only in the bible ... That's why we must read it day and night, meditate His words... for God can also speak to us thru His Words.. and God is the Word itself! Jn. 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
So what is the secret of life that remains secret to others?Joshua 1:8 (Amplified Bible)
1. This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night,
2. that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it.
3. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.

When we stop reading the bible, spiritual dryness comes...
then when here comes the trouble we can easily be defeated..

Today, as my kids watching Barney's show in TV.. which i saw a puppet show about the 3 little pigs who built their houses... I remember the Parable of the Two Builders ( Mt. 7:24-27 )Amplified Bible
So everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts upon them [obeying them] will be like a [a]sensible (prudent, practical, wise) man who built his house upon the rock.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
And everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not do them will be like a stupid (foolish) man who built his house upon the sand.
And the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell--and great and complete was the fall of it.
Yes.. truly, Oh Lord, i said that moment that You are my great foundation and the center of my life... Without You, Your Words how could i stand firm... upon reading and meditating your Words, You give me strength to overcome everything.. No matter how many wolves will attack me I am very much secure for I choose to be in the best Foundation, inside this house (my heart and my soul)it's YOU that i put at the Center...


So we must always read the bible,and meditate His Words..for God is giving us wisdom and knowledge, directing us to the right path.And giving us prosperity in all aspect of life.. preparing us to be a victorious Christian!!!

Thanks Carmell I am new to this and am enjoying all the wonderful people I can talk to. Have a blessed day.....

I have court tomorrow at 1pm pacific time , blessed be his name Victory is won, I ask for intercessing time during this time for Gods mercy and blessings to pour into the judges heart.

PLEASE KEEP ON SERVING THE LORD IN THIS SITE BECAUSE YOU ARE NEEDED HERE. GBY

PLEASE KEEP ON PRAYING FOR THE UNSAVED AND SINNING ONES IN ALL OVER THE WORLD BECAUSE MARANATHA IS AT HAND NOW. JBY

I am being made aware that Jesus is coming sooner than many think. Many will not be ready for His return. We need to be ready, wise virgins, keeping oil in our lamps.

Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:

Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Please also pray for ISRAEL and all over the world. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
Thank you so very much

With love in Christ: Christy Gabriel B
