- My story with God
- I guess my whole tale began around 2005 area when I discovered a band called "Band of Brothers". Now I grew up in a christian home, every Sunday I was dragged out of bed to go to church where I just sat and slept the whole time, it just never fasinated me. During my early teenage like, I was a liar, backstabber, my music taste was dreadful, I wanted to start bands under the name of "Satan's Star", I was disgraceful to the girls etc. but since that night with Band of Brothers, I started to get interested in God. Since then I started to research on Christianity, God and all that by attending different things, for example Summer Madness. After that night with Band of Brothers I wanted to meet their lead singer Stevie Kenny again and get to know him more, until one day I finally did, could this have bee apart of God's plan? During 2006 I attended a Metal Christian group called "Sanctuary Northern Ireland" and I guess that really started to boost my feelings for God. During my time being with Stevie K, Philip Lowry, Alan Nesbitt and everyone else I got invited to so many Christian things, which were based along the lines of rock and metal kind of things, for example Biker Church which is run by the Tribe of Judah. I always turned down the opportunity because I wasn't ready to face God yet. In July 2007 I went up to the Biker's for their annual party of the farm. When I got there I was amazed by what I seen and made me think, "Guys, dressed in black, leather, long hair, christians? No Way!". On September 2007 I finally attended a Biker Church worship and I was totally amazed. I sang because I was afraid I'd get hurt by them but I was just being silly haha! I went back the next Thursday night and that was when National President of the Tribe of Judah Gordy Black pulled me away and talked to me. We talked about God and how I felt about God and since then I asked God into my heart. Now I live my life for God. I play for the Sanctuary worship band with Stevie K and my friend Phil McKibben. I listen to alot more Metal Christian music like Stryper, Rob Rock and Harmony. I will be a leader of the St Mark's Youth Fellowship, and I owe it all to God!
- Other stuff about me:
- I love metal and rock music!

Mark 8:34-35
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it."
Mark 8:34-35

RECEIVED ONE BLESSING AFTER ANOTHER.
( JOHN 1:16 *NIV )
Always remember to count our blessings each day, and to
thank God for them! For no matter what we have, when we
look around us, we find others who have less! So never feel
sorry for ourself, instead start counting our blessings, for that
should cheer u up indeed.
Now we know that when things disappoint us, we are sad and
often depressed. However it is written that we should: BE
JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY; GIVE THANKS IN
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES, FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU
IN JESUS CHRIST. ( 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18 )
Therefore, never feel that God doesn't hear our prayers
because a prayer isn't answered the way we want, or something
goes wrong in our life. For our Heavenly Father always knows
what is best for us, and: HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR
FORSAKE YOU. ( DEUTERONOMY 31:6 )
So my friend, remember to always: GIVE THANKS TO THE
LORD, CALL ON HIS NAME; MAKE KNOWN AMONG THE
NATIONS WHAT HE HAS DONE for you!
( 1 CHRONICLES 16:8 )
In closing, MAY THE GRACE OF THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, AND THE LOVE OF GOD, AND THE
FELLOWSHIP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALL,
now and always! Amen! ( 2 CORINTHIANS 13:14 )
Long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.
Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."
The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health , time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.
One day when we look back , we will realize that we don't really need that much , but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition.

Life is definitely
not about work!
Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time.
You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile , Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits..
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny
So enjoy every day as yours.........

One step at a time is the best way to go
When going through life and traveling in the direction of your dreams
The best way to get ahead is the simpliest way:
Take one step at a time
Don’t look over your shoulder
If you do, you’ll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you
And don’t worry about what lies ahead
By the time you get to the bend in the road or the crest of the hill
You’re going to be better and stronger than you ever were before
Just go one step at a time
One day at a time
And you’ll find a rich, thankful life you never thought you could afford….
I asked God to take away my pain
God said, No
-it is not for me to take away,
But for you to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
God said, No
-Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary.
I asked God to grant me patience
God said, No
-patience is a by-product of tribulations,
It isn’t granted, it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness
God said, No
-I give you blessings, happiness is up to you.
I asked God to make my spirit grow
God said, No
-you must grow on your own
but I will prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life
God said, No
-I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things
I asked God to helped me LOVE others,
as much as He loves me
God said…..
Ahhh, finally you have the idea.
God loves You!
If you’ve never asked the question
Who or when or why or how
Give your mind that great suggestion
Go ahead and do it now
You will find when you consider
All the options that abound
There is still but one conclusion
Where peace of mind is found
It’s not in education
In religion or in books
In retirement funds and IRAs
Or how the market looks
It’s not in status or in style
How low in golf you score
It’s not the running of a mile
Or who you’re working for
It’s not the price you pay for things
It’s not the jewels and fancy rings
It’s not the checks and credit cards
Secured by all those guns and guards
It’s not the beauty of your face
It’s not a matter of your face
It’s not the muscle on your bones
Your classy looks or great skin tones
What matters most in life today
Is where you stand along the way
Not what you have but what you are
How faith in God succeeds by far
God is the answer to the question
Of the who, when, why or how
And He gives the invitation:
‘TRUST IN ME AND DO IT NOW’’
You’ll find God meets your deepest need
With His kind words your soul He’ll feed
He guide your steps and makes things right
He’ll turn darkness into light…..
yesterday upon reading one of my email/newsletter.. I heard a small voice telling me to send the message for that day to people who need to read that msg...
FOR I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, WILL HOLD YOUR RIGHT
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."
( ISAIAH 41:13 *NKJV )
We often face troubling times in our lives that
cause us to worry, and lose sleep. As a child of God you
have Him at your side, holding your hand, and guiding
your pathway through those times. For, THE LORD IS
GOOD, A STRONGHOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE;
AND HE KNOWS THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
( NAHUM 1:7 )
He will never abandon HIS Children, throughout
their entire lives. For He is always with us no matter
what we may face, as He further promised: WHEN YOU
PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU;
AND THROUGH THE RIVERS,* THEY SHALL NOT
OVERFLOW YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE
FIRE,* YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL
THE FLAME SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 )
[*Rivers and *Fire in the verse represent difficulties in our
lives]
Therefore, FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT
DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL
STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL HELP YOU, I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 )
So the next time you face troubling times, do as Jesus
said: "LET NOT YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED; YOU
BELIEVE IN GOD, BELIEVE ALSO IN ME." (JOHN 14:1)
Then WHEN YOU LIE DOWN, YOU WILL NOT BE
AFRAID; YES, YOU WILL LIE DOWN AND YOUR
SLEEP WILL BE SWEET. ( PROVERBS 3:24 )
Now have a great day walking hand and hand with God, Amen.
So i started searching people from this site.. en asking God to lead me where do i have send the msg... en i know He allowed it to happen for He knows very well what's inside r heart..He knows our needs..

Sometimes, even wer already christians, en saying we surrender our lives to God, tru our attitudes, the way we handle situations in r lives doesn't reflect our christianity...en i'm not exempted in that fact...hehehhehe..but one thing for sure as written in Mty.4:4man does not live on bread alone...but on every Word that comes from the mouth of God..His Words is really what we need daily in r lives..That's why wer here dear friends to strengthen each other... uplift our faith,our believes,en glorify God for all things He has done for us!Let's magnify God, not our problems...prayers r powerful weapon but i know worshipping God all the times is the key of all His Blessings we hev right now,even trials en tribulations can turn into big blessings my friends...
1Thes.5:16-18: Rejoice,pray en give thanks...
Praise be to God...
God bless u en ur family...
HAND, SAYING TO YOU, "FEAR NOT, I WILL HELP
YOU."

I was glad to see that you dropped by my page. Everything is going well, thank you. This week is going to be a very busy week for my wife and I because we are finishing up our preparations for our mission trip. We plan on spending a few days up in the mountains during the 4th of July holidays with our family. Then we will be gone for the next 3 months to Uganda with small trips into Kenya and Tanzania.
Your Brother in Christ,
Lloyd
