What your mess says about you
What your mess says about you
The chaos in your house looks a lot like the chaos in your head, says David H. Freedman, coauthor of the book A Perfect Mess.
"PILERS tend to be efficient organizers, because they know to put the most important stuff on top and can quickly find things," he says. "Typically, pilers are intuitive, practical, down-to-earth, and more relaxed."
STUFFERS, people who cram things into drawers and closets, are often introverted and emotionally complex. "On the outside they may seem calm and straightforward, but inside there may be turmoil."
A STREWER is someone who leaves things everywhere and "can be somewhat oblivious and out of touch," says Freedman. "They are unconcerned if others find their mess off-putting." "
CONSTRAINERS typically have just one room that's a disaster area," says Freedman. "They tend to be diplomats--they have a mess, but they tuck it away in a space that isn't very visible or accessible to others." "
People who let a huge mess build up and then spend days cleaning it are called BIG BANGERS," Freedman says. "They are sensitive and tend to be hard on themselves. Deep down, their mess bothers them and they feel guilty about letting it go for so long. But the pattern always repeats itself."
I am a STUFFER and it is SOO on point!!!!

Overwhelmed by His love. I love Him. Yes I do.
Just to be close to Him.
I had a wonderful day today: I met up a friend up lunch for lunch at a taiwanese restaurant then we went to a park and bumped into a old high school teacher, we sat there in the park and chatted for 1 and a half hour.
Got some great deals at So Good Jewelry/Wetseal.
And got to hear a beautiful testimony/story of a beloved friend of her mission trip in Haiti/DR.
But when I got home tonight, my soul did not feel well. My soul was hungry...but my flesh did not feel like doing anything...I started to feel a bit down though I didn't have a good reason to be...but I was reminded of this scripture...and when I cracked open my bible and read this verse...I was at peace.
"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Dealing with difficult people
Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. - 2 Timothy 2:23-26
To respect everyone, believers must be conscious that God has created all people in His image, regardless of whether they believe in Christ. We should show them proper respect and honor because their souls are of more value than all the wealth in the world (Luke 10:33–34;1 Corinthians 10:33).

Where I do not know how to be gentle, teach me Lord to become more gentle.
Lord you know my temper, pray that you teach me temperate...help me to see beyond people's flaw esp those who I have a hard time loving and 重视 their souls.
Help me to love and to be a neighbor, Your will may be done.
In Jesus Name, Amen.

Worship Praise
I just want to worship.
I just want to worship.
I just want to worship.
I just want to worship, You my King.
I just want to worship.
I just want to break out
I just want to worship
I just want to praise You.
I just want to praise You.
I want to worship..that is all I want to do..is worship
I just want to worship
that is all I want to do
No words...can be said...
when i think about all I should do to please You
read my word
pray
but God more than anything all I want to do is to worship you
when i want to be closer to you
and I find no other way
when my prayers are empty...when there are no words to them...
lead me back to worship.
When I think about what is pure...what is genuine...what is real...it is worship
God I want to worship you with all my heart
with all my might
with everything that is within me
I want to worship
I know the power of worship
I was made to worship You.
I live to worship.
Why are ye cast down o my soul...why are you disquiet within me...
hope in the Lord and worship Him..worship Him
For I shall yet praise Him.
Don't be afraid. Just worship.
Don't be scare. Just worship
Don't worry. Just worship.
Don't be intimidated. Just worship.
Put all your confidence in God.
Come to His throne boldly.
Worship Him boldly.
Magnified Him
with your voice
When the praises go up
the blessing comes down.
Oh Holy Ghost
awake my soul
awake my soul
c'mon...c'mon
Bring me back to worship...
no matter how far I feel from You.
no matter what I have done...
bring me back to worship.
I want to worship you.
