David's Prayer: Psalm 17
Psalm 17
A prayer of David.1 O LORD, hear my plea for justice.
Listen to my cry for help.
Pay attention to my prayer,
for it comes from honest lips.
2 Declare me innocent,
for you see those who do right.
3 You have tested my thoughts and examined my heart in the night.
You have scrutinized me and found nothing wrong.
I am determined not to sin in what I say.
4 I have followed your commands,
which keep me from following cruel and evil people.
5 My steps have stayed on your path;
I have not wavered from following you.
6 I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God.
Bend down and listen as I pray.
7 Show me your unfailing love in wonderful ways.
By your mighty power you rescue
those who seek refuge from their enemies.
8 Guard me as you would guard your own eyes.*
Hide me in the shadow of your wings.
9 Protect me from wicked people who attack me,
from murderous enemies who surround me.
10 They are without pity.
Listen to their boasting!
11 They track me down and surround me,
watching for the chance to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like hungry lions, eager to tear me apart—
like young lions hiding in ambush.
13 Arise, O LORD!
Stand against them, and bring them to their knees!
Rescue me from the wicked with your sword!
14 By the power of your hand, O LORD,
destroy those who look to this world for their reward.
But satisfy the hunger of your treasured ones.
May their children have plenty,
leaving an inheritance for their descendants.
15 Because I am righteous, I will see you.
When I awake, I will see you face to face and be satisfied.
From Here and There
These are just some quotes or verses from here and there, copied and pasted on to here by me. I don't take the credit. I feel terrible, but I don't know the sources to some of these. Obviously, the verses are from the bible, but for the ones that aren't... sorry :(
-"I’m not telling you it’s going to be easy, I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it"
-Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
~ Proverbs 4:23, NLT
-John Piper:
Persecution is normal for Christians. “All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.” (2 Tim. 3:12) “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery tiral when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you” (1 Peter 4:12) “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22).
-In the New Testament this sobering truth does not diminish the focus on Joy - it increases it. “We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance” (Romans 5:3) “Blessed are you when others…persecute you…Rejoice and be glad for your reward is great in heaven. (Matthew 5:11-12)
-"So wash me and make me shine like the sun. I want to tell everyone that You’re the only one."
-"In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths".
-Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
~ 1 Corinthians 13:7
-Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Paul Washer's Sermon: Will
These are just some notes I took while listening to a sermon by Paul Washer :)
Not much, just some point notes ^^
I want to be more because he loves me.
beauty and wealth=selfish desires
Everything we do in God's name has a reward.
-filled with the holy spirit -> JOY
-evidence that I believe in Jesus is I still believe in him and believe in him more than I did before
-evidence that I repented and was saved is that I repent still today
-evidence that I was truly saved by grace is that I keep walking and following Jesus and he continues changing me
-evidence that I'm Christian is that Jesus has done something in my life and that something He has done is the thing that motivates me to follow him and I want to be like him, and you continue on and on and on and on

Artistry Essentials: Soothing Creme (Amway)
This was okay. What I liked about it was the fact that it didn't make me break out. It made me oily but wasn't moisturizing if it makes sense. I have the worst case of acne and acne scars according to the acne level chart. What sucks is that my skin is super sensitive, oily, but also very dry (dehydrated). This concludes that I need a very good, basically perfect moisturizer. This was good. It was okay. I used it up so it's good in someways, but it has cons. It's not moisturizing which made me reapply the creme, which may be the reason why it's almost used up.
Pros:
- cheap
- creamy
- good for dry skin but not dehydrated skin
- doesn't irritate the skin
- doesn't break me out!
- Is Amway readily available?
- leaves a greasy film on the skin...
- not good for dehydrated skin
- not very moisturizing... found myself constantly reapplying
- contains alcohol so it dries away after you apply it on your skin
Hopefully, I find the perfect creme for me soon! xoxo
Almost Spring--
Hey guys! I have more quotes for you! I've been MIA for a very long time, and sorry about that :).
Hope these wonderful quotes make it up to you :).
1. Your heart and Your mind is a mirror to Your soul.
I thought this quote was something I should really read and reflect on. I want my heard and mind to be beautiful as I want my soul to be beautiful. But this quote really made me reflect on how a beautiful soul is obtained by first your heart and mind.
2. “You are a treasure who was born for Greatness”
I really don't remember where I got this. It may be from a newsletter or email from some subscriptions I have made, most likely from Christian sites for devotions and stuff like that. I thought this was really nice. This is for all you Christians out there, and everyone; you are a treasure who was born for Greatness by God.
3. All that I am, all that I have, I lay them down before you O Lord. All my regrets, all my acclaim the joy and the pain, I’m making them yours. Lord I offer my life to You. Everything I’ve been through, use it for your glory. Lord I offer my days to You, lifting my praise to You as a pleasing sacrifice. Things in the past, things yet unseen, wishes and dreams that are yet to come true. All of my hopes, all of my plans, my heart and my hands are lifted to You.
I am pretty sure this is from a worship/praise song. Sorry, guys! I don't know the sources of most my quotes. I just see them and jot them down without considering the source D:. :) hehe... Sorry!
Anyways, I really reflected a lot from this quote. Everything I must lay down before God. Even my life. And I truly want everything I do, all my desires and passions to be for God. Although, lately it has been a struggle for me (my relationship with God), I've been trying and trying to develop a better relationship with him. Hopefully I can get back to you guys later with a better relationship with God~. <3
4. Philippians 4:9 “Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
Just a reminder for me, hehe.
5. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes Lord!” They replied
“According to your faith will it be done to you.”
[Matthew 9:28-29]
Another reminder for me, hehe lol. Just as the verse says, just as I want to believe. I think it takes a lot of faith to really fully believe anything. For example, I'd think it would be hard to believe if I has leprosy, that by a touch of Jesus' cloak I was healed. I admire them for having such great faith. I really want to grow to have faith that strong. Pray for me that I may <3
The END! xoxo

Nuxe aux 3 Roses
Hey, guys! So, I've been posting a lot of quotes lately and I thought it was finally time for a product review/post. So.... long time ago, I had bought Nuxe's toner. I am from Canada, so I don't know if you can buy this anywhere else, but I bought mine from Shopper's Drug Mart. And also, I've seen it at the Bay.
Anyways, I used this product on and off for about a month. I didn't like it. I have mild acne and this, for some reason, had a lot of oil in it, so it made me break out. Even after about 2 months, Oil started randomly coming out of the bottle and dripping from the nozzle (if that's the right word for it). I wasn't so happy.
But anyways, yeah. If you have acne, I would not recommend this. My mom used it happily and liked it very much, but she has incredible skin. So if you don't worry about breakouts and stuff because your skin is just so wonderful, give this a try. However, if this is not the case, I'd say skip this product and use your money for something you might actually like!
Anyways, that's my post for today! Hope you guys enjoyed! Love you~!

Random post that was never published... Sorry, everyone!
So this was from way back... Almost a year ago, when school was about to start. So here are just some wonderful quotes for you guys!! Hope you love them just as much as I do :P!
Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.-Oscar Wilde

I try to believe like I believed when I was five... When your heart tells you everything you need to know.-Lucy Liu
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...to leave the world a better place...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians1:6, NLT

Shake Up the Happiness, it's Christmas time!
So, two posts on the same day! AH-maze-ing! :P (J... seriously? -_-)
You guys... whoever is out there, know I don't really post, and most of them are bundled up together.
Hence why the April 2010 post comes after the Dec 13th post... I had the April post made, but just published it now ... not long after publishing the one for Dec... Smart J... :)
So, I wanted to share this music video and song with everyone! I absolutely love it, and it's better with the video-- it's super cute! Love it!
How are you guys going to spend your Christmas time??
I'm excited! Aren't y'all? :P I'm going into the city with my parents and my parent's friend's daughter, who is staying with us for a while! We have Boxing Day in Canada so I'm super pumped (I shop big like once a year :P, I save it all for once).
Only a few days till Christmas, and just because I might not come back here for a while, I want to wish everyone a merry, joyful Christmas! <3
PS: Sorry for the lack of posts. I've been busy with school (I'm a student :) ).
I need to do good if I want to help people. I look at it this way. The smarter I am, the more people I will be able to help. :P Hope it actually works that way! :) haha
MERRY CHRISTMAS! <3 hohohoho
