It is not for me yet
Interest is not what is lacking
But the certainty to keep on
To let it sleep
To let it go
Either is best for now
Walking away is inviting
Onward far from it
No more till then
The walls are high
The guards are set
Not a battle, it is sanity

what a sweet reminder :-)

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ...
2 Corinthians 6:14
‘I want to be big-hearted and open-minded, so I’m going to marry her, or develop a business partnership with him even though he or she isn’t a believer.’
‘Wait a minute,’ says Paul. ‘Don’t misunderstand. Be big towards your brothers and sisters in the Lord. But be careful you don’t err by being yoked in partnership or relationship with an unbeliever.’
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30
The Greek word translated ‘easy’ means ‘good fit’. Because an ill-fitting yoke would cause chafing of the hide or even a dislocation of the animal’s shoulder, yokes were custom-designed to ensure a perfect fit. No doubt Jesus knew whereof He spoke in using this analogy, for the Greek word translated ‘carpenter’, used concerning Joseph and, by implication, Jesus, is ‘tekton’, from which we get our word ‘technical’. The ‘tekton’ was not the framer, but rather the finish carpenter, a master craftsman. Jesus and His father, Joseph, were master craftsmen. Thus, there is historical evidence to support the tradition that the specialty in their carpenter shop was yokes.
‘Take My yoke upon you,’ Jesus says. ‘It will fit you perfectly and the load you’re pulling will become light as you link with Me.’

MASAYA!
Please fill us with Your spirit Lord that we may exercise self-control over our unruly passions and desires and that our actions would be consistent with our talk and Your leading.
Take care always of the new family You counted me in. Take charge always of my wants and needs and LORD have Your way.
oh these eye bags could not hide the happiness i feel inside. I will surely strive more to lose that I will look better.:-) You are fit while I am fat hahaha Kidding aside, I really love your heart to serve the Lord and it is a blessing like no other that your whole family too are committed to the same calling.

BOC
A good friend of mine invited me to join Bless Our Cops. It is a body which is committed to support the PNP in its goal to bring transformation in the organization. The main pursuit of BOC is anchored in:
that they may lead us a quiet and peaceable life
in ALL godliness and reverence
1 Timothy 2:1-2
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence.
In a simple presentation, the passage denotes:
we must pray, intercede and be thankful
for
All men
Kings
All who are in authority
in ALL godliness and reverence
Last Monday, July 6, 2015 was my first time to join their prayer meeting. It was in the conference room at the camp and I was blessed to see CD and several COPs of the different stations joining. I heard from these COPs how grateful they are for the efforts of the volunteers to regularly visit their respective stations to pray over them including the inmates. Coffee and bread go along with the visits. God's word is also shared to officers specially for those who failed to go to church on Sundays because the were on duty. These were all done voluntarily :-)
To be accountable over someone's spiritual journey is not only good but a commendable act of obedience to God's commandments.
May more people come to join said prayer meeting and may God continue renewing the minds of these police officers.
