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.
