7:41 pm - Welcome back and a new life
|
Hello Everybody 2003 has really brought great opportunity
for me to venture into the digital aspects of life. Thanks
a lot for the time given to me by God to glimpse just what I
want to achieve tho my greatest joy is to be with our creator
for the rest of my eternity at least I was given time to
share my talent to all of the world. Sadly It is also the
year which I can say the hardest and down part of my life...
nevertheless I was still loved by God by showing me the right
path and as I look at Him each day is a new beginning. And
now again my site is up so I have plenty of plans and goals
to attain but now only by the help of God I can do all things.
P2Y (Praise to Yahweh)

11:48 pm - Lords File room
|
This letter was sent to me in an email by a friend of
mine. If it touches your heart, I encourage you to cut
and paste it and send it to others who you think might
be touched by it or who might need to hear it, or who
just need to hear a message of our Lord's love...
In that place between wakefulness and dreams, I found
myself in the room. There were no distinguishing
features except for the one wall covered with small
index card files. They were like the ones in libraries
that list titles by author or subject in alphabetical
order. But these files, which stretched from floor to
ceiling and seemingly endlessly in either direction,
had very different headings.
As I drew near the wall of files, the first to catch
my attention was one that read "Persons I have liked."
I opened it and began flipping through the cards. I
quickly shut it, shocked to realize that I recognized
the names written on each one. And then without being
told, I knew exactly where I was.
This lifeless room with its small files was a crude
catalog system for my life. Here were written the
actions of my every moment, big and small, in a detail
my memory couldn't match.
A sense of wonder and curiosity, coupled with horror,
stirred within me as I began randomly opening files
and exploring their content. Some brought joy and
sweet memories; others a sense of shame and regret so
intense that I would look over my shoulder to see if
anyone was watching.
A file named "Friends" was next to one marked "Friends
I have betrayed." The titles ranged from the mundane
to the outright weird. "Books I Have Read," "Lies I
Have Told," "Comfort I have Given," "Jokes I Have
Laughed at." Some were almost hilarious in their
exactness: "Things I've yelled at my brothers". Others
I couldn't laugh at: "Things I Have Done in My Anger",
"Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath at My
Parents." I never ceased to be surprised by the
contents.
Often there were many more cards than I expected.
Sometimes fewer than I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the
sheer volume of the life I had lived. Could it be
possible that I had the time in my 20 years to write
each of these thousands or even millions of cards? But
each card confirmed this truth. Each was written in my
own handwriting. Each signed with my signature.
When I pulled out the file marked "Songs I have
listened to," I realized the files grew to contain
their contents. The cards were packed tightly, and yet
after two or three yards, I hadn't found the end of
the file. I shut it, shamed, not so much by the
quality of music, but more by the vast amount of time
I knew that file represented.
When I came to a file marked "Lustful Thoughts," I
felt a chill run through my body. I pulled the file
out only an inch, not willing to test its size, and
drew out a card. I shuddered at its detailed content.
I felt sick to think that such a moment had been
recorded.
An almost animal rage broke on me. One thought
dominated my mind: "No one must ever see these cards!
No one must ever see this room! I have to destroy
them!" In insane frenzy I yanked the file out. Its
size didn't mattered now. I had to empty it and burn
the cards. But as I took it at one end and began
pounding it on the floor, I could not dislodge a
single card. I became desperate and pulled out a card,
only to find it as strong as steel when I tried to
tear it.
Defeated and utterly helpless, I returned the file to
its slot. Leaning my forehead against the wall, I let
out a long, self-pitying sigh. And then I saw it. The
title bore "People I Have Shared the Gospel With." The
handle was brighter than those around it, newer,
almost unused. I pulled on its handle and a small box
not more than three inches long fell into my hands. I
could count the cards it contained on one hand.
And then the tears came. I began to weep. Sobs so deep
that the hurt started in my stomach and shook through
me. I fell on my knees and cried. I cried out of
shame, from the overwhelming shame of it all. The rows
of file shelves swirled in my tear-filled eyes. No one
must ever, ever know of this room. I must lock it up
and hide the key.
But then as I pushed away the tears, I saw Him. No,
please not Him. Not here. Oh, anyone but Jesus. I
watched helplessly as He began to open the files and
read the cards. I couldn't bear to watch His response.
And in the moments I could bring myself to look at His
face, I saw a sorrow deeper than my own. He seemed to
intuitively go to the worst boxes. Why did He have to
read every one?
Finally He turned and looked at me from across the
room. He looked at me with pity in His eyes. But this
was a pity that didn't anger me. I dropped my head,
covered my face with my hands and began to cry again.
He walked over and put His arm around me. He could
have said so many things. But He didn't say a word. He
just cried with me. Then He got up and walked back to
the wall of files. Starting at one end of the room, He
took out a file and, one by one, began to sign His
name over mine on each card. "No!" I shouted rushing
to Him. All I could find to say was "No, no, " as I
pulled the card from Him.
His name shouldn't be on these cards. But there it
was, written in red so rich, so dark, so alive. The
name of Jesus covered mine.
It was written with His blood. He gently took the card
back. He smiled a sad smile and began to sign the
cards. I don't think I'll ever understand how He did
it so quickly, but the next instant it seemed I heard
Him close the last file and walk back to my side.
He placed His hand on my shoulder and said, "It is
finished." I stood up, and He led me out of the room.
There was no lock on its door. There were still cards
to be written. "I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me." Phil. 4:13
This story is the best e-mail story I have ever read.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have
eternal life." John 3:16
If you feel the same way forward it to as many people
as you can so the love of Jesus will touch their lives
also. My "People I shared the gospel with" file just
got bigger. How about yours?

10:10 pm - Im sad But God is on time.
|
The last two days was really joyous to me. I was able to see my wife of course, we've been together for quite long and I really enjoy every moment I spent with her. It feels like heaven. But...........today I felt so sad again......I'm miss her again. A letter arrived from Philippines informing me how my family is in need of me. Especially by financial matters.....I was really bothered coz until now I cant send them money since I am paying a debt before I go here in Taiwan. I prayed just awhile ago and claim God's promises.. Then I called my wife. There, she informed me that the problem will be solve sooner. she has the answer..... God is really great ..... I'm Happy again.
He turned my mourning into dancing again
He lifted my sorrows
A song of praise instead of ashes
and for my grief the oil of joy.
hello to all my friend especially to jenafer and angelhill.
Hello also to my one and only wife, whom I dedicate this little talents I have. I love you babes. Thanks for calling me and for youe encouragement.
current mood:  grateful

1:40 am - To my wife Chelie
|
babes,
i want you to know also tha i love you very much!
i dont want to seek for somebody coz i have you , my greatest treasure.
i will always love you and will protect you. comfort you and be with you.
its not the flowers, wrapped in fancy paper, its not the ring i wear around my fingers. there's nothing at all the world i need when i have you here beside me.
so you could give me wings to fly, catch me if i fall. or pull the stars down from the skies so i could wish on them all, but i couldn't ask for more coz your love is the greatest gift of all.
Love arbi

7:11 pm - Isn't it Nice
|
Isn't it nice when you have someone to hold on to
Isn't it nice when you can lean on a friend like you
Someone you can call on to and someone you can really trust
And when the trouble comes they are there to help you
Isn't it nice when you can pour out to somebody else
And that friend who's dear to you is listening to your tears
Someone you can share on to your laughter and your tears
And that friend I'm sure I've found in you
You are the friend that I've been looking for
More than a brother your so dear
Nothing compares to the faithfulness you've shown
Isn't it nice that you're my friend.

My wife Chelie is working there already since May 2, 2001 at the ARIMA Computer Corp.,Dashi, Tao Yuan, ROC.

I love her so much.... and I dont wanna be away from her. I'll be working in AGI Corporation. As of this moment I still don't have any idea as to where would I be assigned. It's either in Taipie, Tainan or in Tao Yuan. I hope it will be the Later.
I Guess I'll have just to update this journal from the time I can get to a nearby Internet Cafe there.
I would be missing my family.
Mama Betty, Please dont worry bout me.... I'll be fine with the help of our Almighty God.Just pray for me.
Brother bobet and sisters christy, bebing.,,,, please alway take good care of your work, studies and take good care of mama.. I Love you all.

2:20 pm - Ancient Warrior
|
Nearly 1400 B.C.E.
It was the reign of KING HOMEN when Egypt became great among the nations. He conquered many kings and made them subject to him. It was on this state that MUT-RAH, a defeated king seeks the help of TYPHOON, an immortal sorcerer, and even sold his soul to the evil SET just to execute calamity and destruction over the reigning king Homen.
The king was unpleased with the news that Mut-Rah has now regained his power because of Typhon who taught Mut-Rah all tricks and sorcery?s power. And the later has many allies this time.
Meanwhile, HANNA, the second loved wife of King Homen was pregnant. She decided that in order to prevent misunderstanding and dispute among the subordinates of Queen SHEEBA, the known wife of King Homen, it would be good for her to leave the palace even though the king loved her so much just as she loved the king. And she decided to settle at the village of Egypt.
Later, Mut-Rah went to the village as a medium and offered Hanna his help. But he just wanted to know the secret Hanna knew about the palace and the king. After Mut-Rah gained information, he poisoned Hanna.
While in the Underworld.
ANUBIS, an immortal god who is also called the Head of the Jackal, was the overseer of the mummification of the dead and weighs the hearts of those who recently died. Hanna was put under his custody. But before Hanna died, she gave birth to her son she named THUTMOSE 1. Anubis took pity on the child and decided to adopt Thutmose 1 and train him to become a powerful warrior.
After seven years, Queen Sheeba gave birth to a beautiful daughter HATSHEPSUT. Later, after the king and queen died because of an epidemic caused by the evil Mut-Rah, Hatshepsut succeeded then and became Queen over Egypt. She led armies in battle. Egypt developed a great empire and reached the heights of its power during her reign. She defended the Empire against all the evil attacks of Mut-Rah who has reached and ascended himself in to the level of an immortal evil sorcerer.
Thutmose 1 grew and learned to be a warrior.
?Who killed my mother?? Thutmose I asked Anubis one morning.
?It?s time for you to go out and look for your real enemy. Your enemy is not Queen Hatshepsut as what you have thought long time ago. Know that it was not her mother who killed yours. She?s your half sister. King Homen was your father.? Anubis explained.
?Now I know.? Thutmose I sighted.
?I?m sorry, I kept it secret to you. Now go and find MUT-RAH your real enemy.? Anubis said.
After saying that, Anubis disappeared and at a blink of an eye, simultaneously, Thutmose I was at the palace gate. He was then taken as a GLADIATOR.
Queen Hatshepsut was pleased with him and made him her General unknowing that he was her brother.
Mut-Rah?s power became great even at the point of controlling all the armies and leaders of Queen Hatshepsut. Mut-Rah?s plan is to kill the queen and make the empire his. Everyone is turning against the Queen. Only Thutmose 1 was left to defend his sister. He told her that he was her half brother at the middle of the trouble felt by the queen and she accepted it.
Anubis could not allow any evil anymore. He appeared and helped Thutmose I and Queen Hatshepsut. The Three defeated Mut-Rah at the plain of Thebes.
While the fight was on, Mut-rah threw his shares of hate and evil attacks upon the three. But unfortunately his power is nothing compared to the joined forces and faith of Anubis, Thutmose 1 and Queen Hatshepsut.
The Blow of Death fell Mut-Rah to the ground. Anubis took away his immortal spirit and imprisoned his soul in the Hades.
Egypt became peaceful and powerful again.
Fin.
