Baby Doe

I am 29 years late in learning of this news.
I am shocked and sad.

In 1982, a baby was legally allowed by the courts to be starved to death by his parents because he was born with Down Syndrome. This happened in Indiana.

How crazy is that? What happened to civilization of minds? Aren't people supposed to be more sound in mind in these times of modern age???

He's not the only baby. What about the billions of babies that have been aborted?
I am sad but I cannot imagine how God must be feeling to see His creation utterly, brutally murdered in their helplessness and innocence. As our Father, He must be heartbroken.

This baby, abnormal as he may appear to the world but his soul is whole because he is created by our loving Father.

Baby Doe, a song dedicated to him and probably millions of babies who are left to die left a mark in my mind and heart.
You can read the rest of the lyrics in Jeremy Myer's blog.

Please I beg you, if you are thinking of abandoning your baby or having an abortion, yes you who is reading right now..
Please I beg you, don't. This baby of yours is God's gift to the world. He or she is innocent no matter how he or she is conceived. Give this baby of yours a chance. Who knows she or he might be the next Mother Teresa or Abraham Lincoln? Don't kill him or her.

In memory of Baby Doe, I pray for all babies who are abandoned and all who are starving and those born with Down Syndrome and especially those who are on the verge of being aborted.
Dear Lord, please send your angels to comfort them and keep them close to you for they are yours. Protect them and shield them from the evil ones. Send them light and guidance till the day they will meet you in their eternal home.

If you're reading this,
God bless you!!

Wait on Me

It is dark

No one is around

Not a single soul or spirit

It is so silent in here

Stillness is everywhere

The hours seem bleak

I can hear nothing

I can see nothing

I can only feel my own heartbeat

I can only smell decay and rottenness

Is death nearby?

Am I going insane?

Am I going to lose it?

Am I a fool?

It is getting so cold

Shivers blanketing me

Hunger torturing me

Thirst scourging me

I feel so weak

I can barely move

My bones are creaking

Yet

His words are holding me

It is still ringing in my ears

He said

Wait on Me

There are wolves and snakes out there

Waiting to devour you

Waiting to destroy you

I will come and deliver you out of this black hole

I will bring you into the light

It is safe here

I promise I will come for you

Wait on me

Trust me

I badly want to leave this black cave

It is becoming unbearable

I can only wait

As He promised

Wait on me

Do you feel like that? You feel so much suffering going within you and you’re wondering how long this suffering is going to last. You’re stuck in some place not by choice whether it is sickness, or a job, or a cheating partner or so forth and you feel like giving up but you know there is a voice inside there asking you not to give up and wait. You begin to wonder why on earth you have to suffer this way.

There are some words of wisdom from Charles F. Stanley from his book “In Step with God” that I would like to quote here.

Suffering teaches us gratitude.

1 Thess 5:18 “In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Suffering teaches us how to persevere

Don’t pull up stakes when something goes wrong. Be determined to wait for God to make His will be known to you. If you give up, you will never know the potential within your life.

Suffering enables us to share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ. Remember Paul? He suffered a lot but he was not a spiritual failure. Imagine if you are always healthy and never face a serious challenge or failure all your life, you will never learn how to identify with Jesus Christ’s death on the cross.

Suffering broadens our ministry. Paul went to prison but as a result of his ministry in prison, the gospel spread throughout Rome.

Remember the story of Job? He never gave up on God and he was blessed more than what he lost.

Job 42:12 “The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning”.

Perhaps...

Heavens are glowing yet your sadness is growing,
The rainbow is smiling yet your sorrows are piling,
Heartbreak and tears breathing into my face,
Wishing to stop the time to catch those tears in my embrace

If I were a nightingale, I would sing and melt those bitterness away,
If I were a sunflower, I would beam with my petals shining on your dark nights,
If I were a buoy, I would let you float on me washing your burdens away,
If I were a bee, I would stung you and remind you that I am near you,
If I were a tree, I would shelter and protect you from all those hurts,
If I were a needle, I would weave and mend your broken heart with my thread of gold

But I am only human
I can only sit by your side
Even if you do not see or hear
I can only wish and pray
Spring will come soon and the budding happiness will bloom
Casting away the sorrows of winter
Perhaps then I can see a smile
Not from your face but from within your heart

Silence with the Waves

The sound of waves seem so near yet so far,
Bringing up tears and drowning endless sorrows,
The silence on the beach was long yet to be missed,
A stillness acquired by chance to grasp the peace surpassing understanding,
Looking up to the tears of the moon and the stars,
Longing to console and caress but out of reach

Drawing on the sand hoping to reach out,
Hearts are closed tightly as the night becomes damper,
A gloomy light penetrates the surface of the sand,
A sprinkle of hope in the midst of total darkness
But soon gone as the darkness grew stronger

The waves continue to roar breaking the silence,
Yet the moon and the stars stood far away,
Shedding tears that never seem to end,
Wallowing in the sadness beyond centuries,
It hurts so bad knowing they cannot be reached,
It hurts even more knowing they are bleeding through the night,
It hurts the most to sit and gaze into the sorrows of the moonlight,
Weeping in silence with the waves,
Alone on the beach

Michael Glatze

I came upon a very interesting article about him.
I thought I would share it here.

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=56487

Who is he?
He's an ex-gay activist and this is an interview about him.
His life testimony is not only interesting but mind-opening.
www.michaelglatze.com is his blog.

Beware of the Wide Roads

A cloud of perversion hangs itself,
Multiplying in split seconds,
Slaying innocent minds and hearts,
Preaching not truth but deceit,
Blinding and shut your eyes from light

Bubbles of darkness bobbing up and down,
In the stale air where freshness is struggling to exhale,
Why stand up and be different you say,
When everyone in the world is doing it,
It can't be wrong you say,
When it feels so right

Little did you know death traps disguised as angels of light,
Lurking just round the corner preying on you,
Malicious skies of deformed morality stood waiting with its doors wide open,
Waiting for the perfect time to seize,
Like a whore trapping your mind, body and soul

It will be too late before you are gripped by the harsh lessons,
Your precious treasure is gone and you're left with nothing but a broken shell,
It will be wise to turn away,
Not for your body's sake but for your soul of which you cannot behold,
Beware and listen my child,
For the road that leads to true happiness is narrow and few finds it

Procrastination and Wasted times

There are days when I wake up feeling angry at myself for having wasted precious time.
I have a thousand and one things on my to-do list but I never seem to get it done.
Procrastination is a habit I really want to get rid of.
I don't know why I thrive on deadlines and acting on impulse on the things I feel like doing straight away and putting things less urgent in my drawers to collect dust.
As I look back, there are many things I could have accomplished.
Then again, I ask myself..are those things truly important to me or can I actually do without them?
Hmm...big sighs
I ask God to forgive me for the many times I wasted the gift of time He has given me when I should have put it into good use. do you feel the same? I hope you're not beating yourself up and brood over the wasted times as much as I do.
Let's not look back but make the most of today, all right??
I saw this.

"Forgive ourselves for all the things we didn't do. All the things we should have done. We can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened" - Morrie-

Very timely and wise..don't you think?
