How do you want to be remembered ???

How do you want to be remembered in this life?

Lately, I asked this question to myself.
How do I want to be remembered in this life?
Many of you have heard this phrase: “Life is short,” Indeed is true.
This question is powerful; we need to fast forward to answer this question,
In fact, we need a vision to answer this question.

In my workplace, how do I want to be remembered in this office?
I want to be remembered by making a difference in here.
One of the statements that I always declare it everyday is:
“I made an impact in people live! I radiate love, Joy, and Hope!

In the family area, how do I want to be remembered by my parent or by my brothers? Or by my in laws?
For me, I want my parent to remember me as a loving child, and helped them to accomplish their dreams, and put bigger smiles in their faces.
We live day by day, never numbers our days that has been wasted doing nothing, and doing something un-valuable.
It is very interesting, I never think of this way before.

In Friendship area, how do I want to be remembered by my friend?
For me, I want my friend to remember my humility, and my integrity, and my commitment to have fun. I want them to know
How I grow and how they can grow as a result of knowing me. I want to be remembered of one of the person who made an impact in their life to achieve their dream.
Friendship is one of your valuable resources in this life; your friends can be your biggest enemy or your biggest help.


As I answer this question to myself, I also pray for the last question, and the most important questions:
How do I want God to remember me at the end of my life?
And one thing that I really want to hear from Him is:
‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” (Matthew 25:21)

CHAPTER 5: Be Positive

…it shall be done for you as you have believed…”Matthew 8:13”

It doesn’t mean we can get anything we want by thinking about it. We must speak and think in agreement with His will and plan for us. If we have no idea what His plan is, just think whatever He does will be good.

In Roman 8:28 does not say all things are good but it says that all things work together for good.

This passage really teaches me how to not let anything steal my joy in all circumstances.

I always plan out my days, and I expect everything will work out according to the plan. When something changes, I would get frustrated and lost the joy to continue the rest of the plan. Some of my friends told me I should get more flexible and think positive. That time, I didn’t really get that point specifically, until I understand what Roman 8:28 said, I ask for God’s purpose, and God’s will, not my will.

When I fully trust Him and decide to enjoy whatever happens. I can see that all things work together for good.

A negative person will easily complain, murmur, and spot on other’s mistake or weakness. By the help of Holy Spirit, I believe God can restore us. Because in John 16:7-8 says Holy Spirit is the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, Strengthener, Standby). Holy Sprit will also set us free from Evil Forebodings.

For whatever happens, again it all works together for good. When thing doesn’t work out, positive thinking will have a ready mind. Having a ready mind and still being positive is a balance.

Hoping in faith will bring up a positive thinking. Expect God will do beyond our understanding. As children of God, I strongly believe, signs, wonders, and miracles are our right. So choose to expect in order to receive.

Last, 1 Peter 3:10 “For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile.”

Having a positive mind and mouth are linked together.

Chapter 4 Little by little.

First I thought that Renewing my mind is easy.

I just need to follow simple rules and "bom" my mind is renewed!

But, the author of this book said that renewing our mind is take step by step.

"Little by Little."

It's remind me of the song "We want to see,"

The lyrics said like this: ".. Little by little, we're taking ground."

As Deuteronomy 7:22 said "And the Lord your God will clear out those nations before you, little by little; you may not consume them quickly, lest the beast of the field increase among you."

Joyce Meyer illusrate as a baby learn to walk, many times a baby will fell, but he will raise again and walk!

"When you fail (which you will), that doesn't mean that you are a failure!" ( pg.40)

Do not be discourage, because:

1. Discouragement will destroy Hope

2. Without hope, we give up.

3. If we give up, we will never be a Champion!

"A champion is not someone who never fail, A champion is someone who never quit." (unknown)

My personal experience, Today I have a little problem that really bother me all day long.

my cell phone was driving me nuts. The touch screen didn't work. In the afternoon, I really need to text message my friend while I am attending a class." The touch screen didn't work,

I couldn't change the character, The alarm went on and on....and I could not stop it because once again, " The touch screen didn't work." and all day long, I complaint too myself. Basically, I had a wrong thinking, I started to feeling lousy, and lost control on my mind."

Admittenly, I felt like a failure. However, While I was praying. Thanks God, he remind me to finish writting this blog. I look up at this chapter, and really, I should not get discourage, because I am not failure, I just don't do everything right. Tomorrow, I will become better.

Lastly, I would like you to enuntiate this sentence while you are reading it:

"Well, things are going a little slow, but , Thank God, I'm making some progress, I'm sure glad I'm on the right path that wil lead me to freedom. I had a rough day yesterday. I chose wrong thiking all day long. Father, Forgive me, and help me to 'keep on keeping on.' I made a mistake, but a least that is one mistake I won't have to make again. This is a new day. You love me, Lord. Your mercy is new every morning."

What can Spirit-driven success mean for you?

How does a young woman go from living out of her car with a total of $2.03 to her name, to earning her first million dollars in two short years?
Dani Johnson’s testimony is truly remarkable!
And through her coaching and training seminars, Dani Johnson continues to developed top-producing sales forces while impacting the lives of tens of thousands of people.
BIBLICALLY BASED FINANCIAL PRINCIPLESHer passion is seeing people break through financial bondage and excuses that stop them from reaching true freedom emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Best of all, the foundation of her teaching is biblically based.
That touches me, because most of the prayer requests we receive involve finances!
I believe God wants to pour out a supernatural wealth transfer, so I am always interested in hearing what the Lord is teaching His people through people like Dani Johnson.

here are key points she teaches on This Is Your Day! this week:

Lasting change must come from the inside out. So many personal and financial success programs start with changing behaviors. That only lasts for a while. Dani says, “For people to truly change things, that change must start on the inside. To get to the inner core, you have to go inside and follow the root system. When you disarm those roots that are not rooted in heaven, everything begins to change. True change comes from the living, breathing Word of God. True change starts by receiving Jesus Christ into your life and surrendering yourself to His will.”
Take responsibility for yourself. Dani explains, “So often we don’t take responsibility for where we are. We blame the devil for things we ourselves have caused. We blame the Lord. We blame family members. Truth is, each of us has sown the wrong seed. We’ve planted unhealthy things. We have sown hatred, malice, jealousy, judgment, criticism, condemnation, and bitterness. Often we don’t even know that we’ve planted, and we’ve allowed these things to grow deep inside us, even though the fruit from all those things we’ve planted is dropping all around us. We get so busy looking at everyone else’s fruit that we don’t take responsibility for ourselves.”

God’s laws are not negotiable. They are not returnable. Dani says, “Realize that God’s laws are solid. He has a law for promotion, for success, and for wealth. The problem is that when we don’t know these laws, we sit around and blame everybody that we don’t have finances. We blame our boss for not promoting us instead of learning God’s laws of promotion. They are there. The people who succeed are those who have learned those laws.”

God wants you out of the bondage. Dani teaches, “God has called you to succeed. He has called you to be a light on top of the mountain, not under a bushel. He wants you to be a voice for Him. I challenge you to learn from His Word what He says about money, success, happiness, and joy for you and your family. You will be set free as I was set free, for I lived under the worst kinds of bondage. God wants you free—spiritually, physically, emotionally, and financially!”

God Owns This Business

United States Plastic Corporation is a different type of company. When our company was being established more than 50 years ago, the founder, Dr. R. Stanley Tam, made a promise to God that if God would prosper this business he would honor God in any way he could. God has consistently done His part and, with His help, we do ours to the best of our ability. Mr. Tam has placed 100% of the ownership of United States Plastic Corp. into a foundation whose purpose is to establish churches in third world countries. The dividends paid by the company go to share the Good News of the life changing experience possible for anyone. We believe in the possibility of a person linking his/her life to God, and we believe that God's Word can produce a spiritual new birth for anyone who seeks Him and follows His plan.

PEACE that surprasses your understanding!

Friends,

Lately , I was learning about Faith and Confidence.

In a short way to say, One have a faith means One have a confidence in God.

Knowing that everything is gonna be allright!

We should have a confidence that with Jesus, Our lives in in control.

I want to encourage all my friends to have peace in our heart, knowing that with God everything is possible. Be Confident, and having a solid faith in Him that everything is gonna be allright!

Jesus is The Prince of peace. He will give us peace that surprasses our understanding.

Chapter 3: Don't Give Up!

Galatians 6:9
"And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do loosen and relax our courage and faint."

Personally, I learn what we call "Don't give up" is not only when I am in difficulties, challenges, and facing problems, But also when I am in comfort zone.

Sometimes people has bigger faith when they face problems, they seek God even more. When life is good and smooth without challenges, we become too comfortable that the Devil starts to enter into our life and makes us grow weary and lose heart.

I believe God has so much in store, open doors, and breakthrough for His children. At His appointed time, He wants us to get out from that comfort zone or mountain that we have dwelt long enough.

As we obey, we have to purposely choose the right thinking. After we have finally decided to be like-minded with God, then we will need to choose and continue to choose right thoughts. From the right thoughts then right words will follow. Proverb 18:21 we are told, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it...

It is easy to quit; it takes faith to go through.

Make up our mind that we will not quit and give up until victory is complete and you have taken possession of your rightful inheritance.

Some thought from Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995.

You can read Heather Whitestone, Miss America 1995, story at Wikipedia

and her bio

I want to quote her answer about the last interview before she won Miss America 1995

When I was 18 old, I became very ill; the medicine that was given to me was made me totally profoundly deaf. Doctor said to my mom that I won't be a normal person.
For example: I will never drive a car or go to public school, but Thank God the word: “Impossible was never in my family vocabulary.”
On wed night, you will see the result of your dream, it is when I am going to dance for you.
And now is my turn to take all my wishful thinking and energy
To bring about my dream, I want to be Miss America, I want to graduate from college
But I know that each of you have a question. How can a profoundly deaf woman fill the duty Miss Alabama and miss America
To this I answer yes, I can do it because I realize that everything is possible with God’s help.
I do not see my deafness as an obstacle but as opportunity for creativity,
I want you to know if you ask me a question, I won’t hear it
I have to read your lips. But reading a lips only will give me 50% understanding of what you said. So I will repeat the question, just to make sure I understand.
Or I may ask you to write down to save time but I am excited on being here.

Of course the jury was very impress with her answer,

She couldn’t hear the announcement,
Just her and another girl who stand on the final round,

She said in her heart, okay when the guy who make the announcement mention a name, If she ( her competitor) cry, Its mean she won, and the other girl did not cry...

I learn a lot from God during my year miss America, I learn that life is short, I need to enjoy my life fullest
I learn to enjoy my life and be grateful to God.
Jesus become my savior, and that’s all I need."

This story prove that People with disability and dream will possible made it thru life compare to people with ability and zero dream. !

Chapter 2. Vital Necessity

" For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." Proverb 23:7

This verse is very true. Why people struggle a lot in their live, just simply because they have a wrong thought.

This verse is so poweful, even James Allen also wrote a book title " As a man thinketh." In this book he wrote "Let a man cease from his sinful thoughts, and all the world will soften towards him, and be ready to help him; let him put away his weakly and sickly thought, and lo, opportunities will spring up on every hand to aid his trong resolves, let him encourage good thoughts, and no hard fate shall bind him down to wretchedness and shame. The world is your kaleidoscope and the varying combinations of colours, which at every succeeding moment it presents to you are the exquisitely adjust picuters of your ever-moving thoughts."
When I visited the body exhibition, I was gazing on 'the preserved brain'; a very small spec in our body, yet take a fully control over all bodies. It made me realize how important our mind is.
Yet, The word of God said that not by might, by power, only by His spirit.
My assumption is if we possess a will power alone is not enough, but with the prayer, and meditate on his word will enable us to have a right thinking.

Eventhough, our thought is in "the secret place," but It will reveal the true person in us. You will be valued thru your fruits.

My personal touch,
It used to be really hard to control my mind, many wrong and negative thoughts keep coming in my mind whether I realize it or not. I tried too many things to keep away negative thought, but I can't resist it. I used to be a person who think that The best will never come, or I will never make it, or I am not lucky enough, I am unable to be a person that pleased God, or please my love one. I am not great enough. Whenever, I am alone, I felt lonely, I felt that I am not good for mingle out with others, or Whenever I am fail, I felt that I will never win. I felt afraid to take chance.

As I wrote here, I knew that How easy "bad" thought come to my mind, even the most dangerous one, such as a bad image about myself.
I am learning to be positive by the word of God. I learn to know my image in Him, I am learning that God can change me, and I need to change.

In fact, I hear from the sermon that "The constant thing in this earth is change."
I want to learn to choose my thought becauseI want to learn how to overcome the battle in my mind. That's why I put on this picture; the phrase is so true: " Imagination is the preview of live coming's attraction."

Have you read your bible today?

One of my goals is to read my bible and finish it up in a year.
Some books in the bible are tough to read, It need disipline and willingness to read.
Bible is composed by over 40 authors from the business man, farmers, fisherman, and many more but yet there is no contradiction on whatsoever.
Bible is the most important book for me. For me personally, I need to read it because It gives me power, comfortness, hopes, and dreams.
It is a manual for my body, soul, and spirit. It helps me to renew my mind, It helps me to rule over my emotion; Bible is a standard of mylife.
It is the endless stories of all human beings. From beginning to the end, it comes from the living words inside this book.Here it January list for bible reading: I am sure It will keep me busy for this month.
January 1. Morning, I will read Matthew 1, Evening Genesis 1,2,3.
