You can’t blame God for all the tragedy and calamities we see and hear.
For it is the heart of a man that plans and do evil and wicked ways!
it is the motives of greed and lust that makes man create war and oppress the weak ones.
And God can’t stop it, but gives strength to the ones who are willing to do what is right. For the judgement of the wicked lies in pile and waits for its final destination and the oppress shall be in His Kingdom and the poor shall be taken in His gates.
So for you to change the world, is to change yourself also. Be a blessing and do what is right. Contribute to what is good!
-Wisdom

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. (Jeremiah 29:11)

We may experience many things that we thought were not relevant to some situations we have at the moment. And many times we don’t like the moment or situations we are in but God has a plan that we don’t know nothing about. He has His ways to teach us through people that we may learn and gain more experience to be encouraged and to be prepared to the future that awaits us. For who knows what would happen the next day or to the future?

Our own thoughts may be a little too extreme and mostly we make our efforts and try to make our plans on our own. Yet in a moment of truth when doubts comes in we know that some of our plans are irrelevant and will not hold for so long…but only for a while.

Things may change but the fact is that our experiences are one of the things that can bring us to the success and happiness and Contentment in life. We may not understand yet the will of God at the moment but when you reached the top, then you will always look back..and smile. God loves you and God knows what He does with you.

I never had understanding in my younger years, I wanted to do things right away and I was too bad to wait. I was too impatient and unpolite towards time. But I realise through the years that patience brings victory and that a person who carefully studies its steps and plans are the one that consider the costs along the way. It is like building a house. You must find a good ground and you must dig a stable foundation and build its poles so the walls may stand. And then building the walls at its heights and makes a separation for every rooms to distinguish that differences of every rooms to be made.

It might  not be easy to do it because majority of people and even I has the wrong foundation in the beginning. I tend to think negatively first and I do things constantly without thinking thoroughly about plans and then when I failed, I am devastated. It was different if I failed and saw that there was something good at it and there’s something that needed to be developed. Not so, but mostly, I build up things and didnt work therefore there was nothing to develop at all, nothing required to be reused instead have to do it all over again.

We shall have a good motivation as the scripture instructs : Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.
This is a strong and simple guidance. Trusting the Lord with all your heart can make your mind at peace and not leaning on your understanding will create a new course of life in you. For your thoughts may seemed good at the moment but the thoughts and plans of the Lord will keep you in safety and wisdom. As you achieve things, as long as you acknowledge Him, your path will be directed in light and spiritual growth.
2 Corinthians describes how we tame our thoughts bringing down the arguments of our minds into being obedient to Christ where Colossians speaks that we shall focus on the things above rather than the things on this world.

So I would liek to encourage you, No matter how life turns an no matter how thoughts runs in your head day and night. Never entertain the those that would bring sorrow and sadness in your heart. Divert it into a powerful thoughts full of hope and vigour. Transform it into a blessing for others!

The Questions of Human Minds!
If There is God!!!
My Testimony !!!
I will share you something that would give you a bit to consider.
I might not satisfy you with it, but it’s not my job to convince you or satisfy you.

Animals have life, all of the living creatures have hearts and blood. Mentioning even the trees can bleed. They can feel, they have emotions, they can be satisfied with food, care and nourishment. Some of the creation can’t speak and their lives are not be able to be distinguished how they would live life without human hands whom would see after their needs and tend after to nurture them. And mankind seems to notice without a word and attend to the needs of an animal or a plant. The body language and face language are the best thing that they can use to express whenever they are satisfied, in awe or in pain.

Humans have life, everyone have hearts and blood. They beat the same yet the directions are not on the same path. They can feel, they have emotions, they have thoughts, they have voice, they have a free will to choose between right and wrong. Mankind can be satisfied with many things. Can be material, emotional, words, food, clothing, shelter, literate knowledge and many more.
Without other people socialising to each other, many can become stressed, depressed, sad, lonely, and isolated. Without people loving and caring for each other, they would grow cold and they will become bitter and pessimistic in all kinds of life. They can affect others and life can become absurd.

For some who live without God, they just live life like it’s not important if they would die now, for they just want to satisfy themselves in all that they find and can be bought and satisfies themselves in all that they can feel. Some would just not care what they say and do, some would just express even their evil thoughts towards others. For some who has not belief, life would just turn the same everyday. Seeking for satisfaction everywhere, anywhere and anytime not knowing the consequences of the things spoken or done. Life rolls and goes by.

Yet for those who have faith, there is a huge struggle of wanting to live life holy and separated from what is ordinary. There is a life filled with desires to serve others and the cares of these life was not so much important as it were. The forming of the inside to literally bring out the soul to its existence is huge and the desire for good is always there..naturally.

All of the things upon the earth HAVE LIFE to live. MANKIND And ANIMALS have breath and has purpose in different ways.

Even if you argue with all your theologies about science and evolution with me.
Never will I accept that I am a monkey. For my hands are two that they may work accordingly with my brain, and my feet may walk wherever I want to go in according to my command. I could speak from within my heart and I could sense the magnificent work of the Eternal God who created me in His image. The image of His everlasting character.
That my voice are clearly spoken and I can command my body to follow what I want to do, my brain works and my thoughts comes from nowhere that I may establish my ways for the fullness of a day.
I am created in God’s image, fearfully and wonderfully made. That I may have dominion over the birds, the animals, the fish, the sky, the land, and over the sea.
That I may choose to do good things towards other creations of God and that I may live a good life and have a good influence of character towards my children and other people.

I breath life everyday and even at nights when I’m in bed.. I might not know what would happen tomorrow if I would wake up and see the world again, I would not know if I would touch my kids again, love again, and kiss my husband’s lips. As I would lay in bed, I wouldn’t be sure if tomorrow, I can look at people’s eyes and tell them that I like them, I love them and I would like to drink a coffee with them. For I am sure that my every day is written in the book of God, which is my book.
I breath and plan what to do for the next day, and the other day and the next year and what to do for the future. Yet all my plans change through time. I understood, because I am human, I can change my mind like the wind. I can shift my feet to go to the left rather than my plan to go to the right.

Now I’ve seen God’s glory, expressed through all the living things around me. I challenged myself therefore to know what is the truth. And yes, I found indeed.

God holds every breath of human life. When time is up, you are gone in a second. In few years time, some may remember you, and some may forget you. Some may remember your good deeds and some may remember your evil ways.
Some may not even care, and some might be happy you are gone.

God does not change and His love endures forever.
It’s not late, to have faith in God.

For Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father except through Jesus.
For there is no salvation in No One Else.

Your career, religious traditions, money, house, literate knowledge, this will never give salvation to your soul. Your body will die but your soul will live and it will be the one whom will face the judgment of the Lord.

“evidence of God’s existence. The Bible states, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). Looking at the stars, understanding the vastness of the universe, observing the wonders of nature, seeing the beauty of a sunset—all of these things point to a Creator God. If these were not enough, there is also evidence of God in our own hearts. Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us, “…He has also set eternity in the hearts of men.” Deep within us is the recognition that there is something beyond this life and someone beyond this world. We can deny this knowledge intellectually, but God’s presence in us and all around us is still obvious. Despite this, the Bible warns that some will still deny God’s existence: “The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God’” (Psalm 14:1). Since the vast majority of people throughout history, in all cultures, in all civilizations, and on all continents believe in the existence of some kind of God, there must be something (or someone) causing this belief.”

Surely, because I believed in the name of Jesus.. my name is written in the Book of Life. And I would like that you also would know, that you are loved by God and He is waiting for you to confess your sins, believe in Jesus, be baptized and keep and live your faith and you will be saved.

May You be blessed from now on and Forever.

Yours  Rochelle

2016 I wrote this message… and looking at it.. while my own marriage is broken…and Im divorced twice.. Funny.. really funny.. but its true.

When marriage is in shaken, walking away is not the answer.
Calm down and speak with each other. Don’t call for emergency numbers and talk around.
Call God in the hotline of Prayers of not asking why!
Walking away is for people who are not capable of going to the next step of their lives.
Marriage is Honorable, and the bed undefiled. This means that when the shake is on the run, don’t think it’s over. Don’t take your shoe and don’t pack your bags and leave. Don’t call your peeps and say ” hey man! My husbands leaving me, or my wife’s leaving and I don’t know why, bla bla bla” who cares?? They don’t know you both much than you know each other well. You live together and not with them.
Don’t exchange the years together and end it into a one day leave. Marriage is not like movies, it is hard work and it is handling the motions day by day. Overcoming the waves by walking upon the water and trusting God and His love endures forever.

Sometimes, misunderstanding are huge and there are people around that really waits for both to split up. Because that’s how they handle responsibility. And if you agree with what they sketch you, you will be drawn to be like them. Broken and immature. Do not be conformed by this world. Because the world tells you that if you’re unhappy, you got to leave! The world tells you that if you are not satisfied then find another one! If your expectations are not met then divorce. That’s sucks and stupid! That’s the world! That’s not you! You are not of this world! You are a child of God!
If you are in an abusive relationship! I advise you to leave! If your husband or wife is irresponsible, bring him to authorities, if he does not comply with the law then you have to decide whether you leave or stay!
People who are not willing to handle responsibility are the ones who thinks walking away is the answer. PLEASE Stop! That’s foolishness!
Stay calm, and begin from the beginning. Learn to humble yourselves and submit to one another. Hear the case of one another, place your complaints about each other. And when all had been revealed, forget the problem and the records of wrongs. If you ask forgiveness, it is humbleness. if you get down in your knees and seek to serve your partner, it is not self-seeking.when you take your partner and move the change with him or her, it is kindness. If you set your heart to forgive even when there’s no harm done, it is love.
Speak good for one another and remember the love you had from the beginning! Start from there! ” I love you and I want to marry you”
Words sometimes are not needed but a big embrace and touch and affection and compassion is what needed!

Learn to spend time and listen to each others heart. And I’m not talking about abuse here. I’m talking about marriages that sometimes have been affected by environmental views.
Remember the words of wisdom!
Wisdom that comes from God and not from the world.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Remember, when you stayed and reached until gray hairs! You will not regret you made a good husband and wife!
Everybody goes this trials you know!
And few succeed!
It’s not because we live in the millennium and it was different before, but it’s because through the years, people become more and more self centered that’s why they fall!
And I don’t hit anyone’s toes! This advice is for me and for others who are in marriages right now! Or on the way to get married!
