Be praying for blogger Kimvan, Japan and surrounding countries

 In the last 12 hours, Japan was hit with a massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake (it the 5th-strongest in the world since 1900). It is reported that 32 people and counting have died. Pray that miracles happen today, that no more damage is done, that no more people die.

This is a reminder that this earth is not our home, stop treating it like it is. #Matthew 28:19-20

 I'm asking you to add Japan and surrounding regions in your Prayers today. Pray for the safety of fellow blogger, Kimvan, who currently lives in Northern Japan.

My first time celebrating Lent, join me and World Vision!!!

 Good day all, 

I have never celebrated Lent before, but after coming across what World Vision is doing this year, i decided to join and you can too.  While looking through the program, i realized how spiritually beneficial it would be for me to partake in the "Lent 2011: Relentless Acts of Justice" online program that World Vision has set up. I truly encourage you to check it out.

 What is lent?
According to Wikipedia-------->Lent is a time of sacrifice for Jesus. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer — through prayer, repentance, alms giving and self-denial — for the annual commemoration during Holy Week of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the events linked to the Passion of Christ and culminates in Easter, the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Preview of what is being planned by World Vision:
Week 1: We will experience worthlessness through a story about microfinance by going without something physical.
Week 2: We will experience helplessness through a story about malaria by feeling vulnerable.
Week 3: We will experience carelessness through a story about HIV and AIDS by feeling ostracized.
Week 4: We will experience godlessness through a story about religious persecution by limiting our own spiritual resources.
Week 5: We will experience speechlessness through a story about sex trafficking by giving up control and ownership over our lives.
Week 6: We will experience hopelessness through a story about education by feeling forgotten.

These people are not worthless, helpless, careless, Godless, speechless and hopeless
because it’s their fault. In fact, it may just be our fault that we do not actively bring
worth, help, care, God, speech and hope to them. It is imperative that we seek to
understand their lives. Only when we see the humanity and divinity in a stranger’s eyes
can we love them as Christ calls us to love them.  


 May God Bless you and I with Discomfort

May God bless you with discomfort. Discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. Amen

May God bless you with anger. Anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. Amen

May God bless you with tears. Tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy. Amen

May God bless you with foolishness. Enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. Amen

And the blessing of God, who creates, redeems and sanctifies, be upon you and all you love and pray for this day, and forever more. Amen

Coming up Sunday----> Week 1: We will experience worthlessness through a story about microfinance by going without something physical.

Have a blessed day. Chizzy D

Are you seriously willing to die for Christ? This man recently did.

Good day all, 
Just last week Shahbaz Bhatti, Pakistan's Minorities Minister and sole Christian Cabinet minister was assassinated.

In the interview, Mr. Bhatti said of Pakistani Islamists:

They want to impose their radical philosophy in Pakistan and whoever stands against their radical philosophy, they threaten them. When I’m leading this campaign against the Shariah laws and for the abolishment of [the] blasphemy law and speaking for the oppressed and marginalized, persecuted Christians and other minorities, these Taliban threaten me.

But I want to share that I believe in Jesus Christ, who has given his own life for us. I know what is the meaning of [the] cross and I’m following … the cross.

I’m ready to die for a cause. I’m living for my community and suffering people and I will die to defend their rights. So these threats and these warnings cannot change my opinion and principles. I will prefer to die for my principles and for the justice of my community rather to compromise.

*****Blogger fam, these kinds of things are happening everyday. While many of the people that call themselves Christians are worried about how they can use God to glorify self, this man reminds us that its ALL about Christ being glorified. *****


While on facebook this morning one of my mentors post this quote next to this story:

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God... something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!" - Philippians 2:3-8"

Where does your weave come from: The story of 100% weaves

 Good day,
The 100% human hair weave that is on one's head, do you know it's history and the process it went through to get to the weave wearer's head? Well now you can!
Below is an educational video that documents where most of the weaves in the world comes from. It starts with women and children in India that travel to the second busiest temple in the world in order to shave their heads for religious purposes, it then covers every step from there. Enjoy! P.s. If you are unable to watch this Vid in your country and would like for me to summarize it for you, let me know.

Mental, Spiritual, physical, and Emotional goals for March and beyond

Good day all. 
Like i discussed yesterday I'm making new plans for March and beyond because I want to be productive. I've decided to put it in writing.  I did similar things like this when i was in school which has been all my life(lol). 

 

First, I plan on making a liberal plan for each day the night before. That way i have goals and and are more likely to achieve them.

Mental- Have a goal to read a book(gifted or bought that i have not read) and finish it by the end of the month. Substitute online T.V. movie time for this. At least one hour of reading(this is huge cause i haven't been a fan of physical reading in a long while now).


Spiritual- First thing in the morning(before ever opening up my computer) have morning devotion. 
I am currently using solo: An uncommon devotional and it's pretty amazing, totally recommend it.


Physical- Workout at least three times a week for 1 hour. Focusing on running and exercises that increase my heart rate. Run at the very beautiful park near my home or officially join that really cool and expensive gym near my home. 



Emotional- hmm i'm not sure yet. Oh i know...Work on my Chizzy D book(yep i have one, its a pretty cool personal scrapbook). Being as creative as i want, writing poems, songs, drawing things i want to sew up, just digging in the book and being creative whenever i'm feeling down.

Question: Do you make similar plans?

p.s. none of this pics were taken by me.



Have a blessed day. Chizzy :D
