...is spiced up with pink and green!
Everything in the middle of the letters L-I-F-E can be as vague as the glass that was just filled with cold water or can be as transparent the time you wipe the glass with your fingers. Either way, a lot of people give everything to understand it; but only a few does. I may have not experienced everything there is to experience nor have learned everything there is to learn, but I am certain that from where I stand... LIFE is beautiful!
I’ve been hearing and reading about this book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Joshua Harris, way back the early years of my teenage life, but not quite interested in checking it out. I perceived the title so untimely for my stage. Well, who on earth, at this tender age, be ever eager to kiss dating goodbye when he or she haven’t even experienced it in the first place? Maybe some no-way-to-marriage freaks will. But definitely, not me. And I mean a big N-O for that. It seemed to me an impossible statement—too impossible even to read.“I Kissed Dating Goodbye” appeared to me like an old-fashioned woman campaigning to stop dating and persuading us to go in for marriage. I used to think that saying goodbye to dating meant saying hello to marriage—that’s a pretty serious stuff that, I thought, should only be dealt by grown-ups.
You can’t blame me for that impression, can you? Given the fact that I’m still fourteen that time, I suppose that makes sense. Honestly, at first, I thought to myself, Hey! I’m not prepared to get married…After all, I’m too young! Little did I know that this book was really for me. This is about that and everything about that, just everything every single Christian should know and should live. And this drew me to an overwhelming conclusion: "Don’t judge a book by its TITLE"
(me and my brother)
Shoot! Right in the heart of the city, sin is encouraged. That is NY. People seem to be too busy to know God--or even notice God. The way people act, you could say they have no idea about eternity. 
But no matter how abhorrent the reality is in here, this can't keep God from doing mighty works. And in these last days, He is manifesting His power through His people--people who are burning with passion to make God's name known; people who are willing to be used by God that no single soul will go to hell without hearing what Jesus has done; and people who know very well that they got nothing but Jesus. These people gathered together for an hour believing that one hour of prayer can change the world. Last September 7, 2008, approximately 50,000 people representing 170 denominations within and outside the state (even outside the country) came together to pray along the streets of Times Square, Manhattan. Hence called PRAYER IN THE SQUARE.
Christians went out of their roofs and gather under one banner, the banner of Jesus Christ. This one hour surely echoes to eternity. 
I just can't believe that this is really happening. That is because America, I thought, has turned her back from God. But it is such a great wonder that even the mayor proclaimed the date recognizing it as an important event. Wow! When God moves, every impossibility will just turn into solid steps taking His purpose higher. What an amazing God we are serving! 
Let us keep on praying.
