meaning of LIFE

LIFE. Well, life is a complicated word. It's a word with just plenty of things to talk about. But generally, when we hear the word "life" the first thing that comes to our mind is about having energy, enthusiasm, and vitality. It's about being able to live. If I ask you now about the true meaning of life I've no doubt that you folks are gonna even look it up in the dictionary book. Life is not just the existence in the physical world. There's just more than than. Life is more than just the way somebody lives, how something produces vitality, it's more than that. We can consider life as the entire period during which somebody is, has been, or will yet be alive. Yes, life is existence, being, living, vivacity, energy, enthusiasm, soul, but LIFE IS REALLY MORE THAN THOSE WORDS.

I won't go any farther with this, let me get to it REAL STRAIGHT. I'm talking about God. God is life. Yes He is. I don't know how to explain this. But if you want to take time thinking about this just study the lives of the people who had a life of being a rebel before, those people who lived a life of devastation-THEN GOT SAVED. Through their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, they now have the opportunity to be connected with God. Jesus is the way to heaven, the ONLY way to heaven. And after all these things, what's next? These people will look like totally transformed people. They'd live a different life, a very different life from their previous life. They really change. Though there are obstacles that come their way, they always look lively-they're always full of life! now...WHY IS IT LIKE THAT? This kind of situation is very different from something like accepting/receiving an award. After you receive an award, yes you feel happy and honored. But there's still something missing. Accepting Jesus in your heart is a LITTLE-BIG thing. It might be a small and simple thing to do but after that, you'd be totally stunned by its impact. You accept Him, and look at the impact it brings. IT'S A DIFFERENT FACTOR YOU KNOW? You accept Him, it's a simple thing but why is the impact just so enormous? :)

Living is about God. ALL ABOUT HIM.

Yes we possess life. But talk about "enjoying possessions". Life may be our greatest possession, but without offering it to God, we won't enjoy possessing it.

LIFE= GOD.

first blog for NOVEMBER 2008:telling the things untold!

This is my first blog for November and I'm telling you guys that this blog has three episodes! Well, since I haven't updated this blog page for 24 days (after the last blog i made on oct.29,'08), all of the happenings in my life within the past couple of days which I haven't told that should be told are about to be told in this blog.ü

Let me start with the All Saints' Day (November 1, 2008).< It was on October 31, 2008 when I, together with my younger bro went to the cemetery called, "Blue Heavens". We were there with our cousins. We celebrated the life of our uncle who had passed away. We got there by 5pm, and we prepared everything that we'd be needing on that night. We assembled the tent for us to sleep in. Sembreak's over, helloooooooo schoolfolks!(November 3, 2008) Wow! It feels really good to be back in action for school. I got to see my schoolfolks, I MISSED THEM (and i think they felt the same way haha)!ü It was relaxing to put your feet up at your home having a one-week vacation, but ofcourse, for me...nothing will be more relaxing to see your friends again! :) The Exigent Camp (November 20-22) Yes I went camping! This was an activity in our school for all of the Rover Scouts. This is also one of the requirements for a trainee Rover Scout to be a leader next schoolyear. Our leaders told us that our campsite was waaaaaaay better than the one they had last schoolyear because this one (our campsite) has a good-level terrain. Thursday morning we went there. On our first day, we had nothing much of activities. I guess this day was just about preparation for the coolest challenges we'll encounter in the next days. We set our tent up, and took some rest there. On our next and second day, we went HIKING! yeaaaaaaa what an awesome experience. Well I've experienced hiking couple of times in the past camps I went to, but this one's a lil' different and I find it more challenging! Oh yes. On the third day, there were still activities like community service, and junk art. Supposedly, this camping will take place until Nov.23. But Saturday afternoon(third day) I started to feel uneasy and didn't feel well at all. I got dizzy and the teachers there sent me home. By night of this day there would be a Grand Campfire. Too bad I haven't made it there! haha. But I enjoyed it, still!ü -wonderfully marvelous,xxoxJanica
