When you think the world has turned it"s back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.

When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won"t get it, but if you believe in yourself, you will get it[/nickname]

What every woman wants in a MAN

Missnikky — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 08:04:59 UT

Asked what they'd want in their men, these were the replies of two women:

“I want a man I can look up to; someone who'd make me feel more than I actually am right now.”
“I want a man with the fear of God; a man who'd appreciate me.”
Let's consider six basic qualities that every woman wants in a man.

1. Love.

This term has been largely misrepresented secularly. Love is not all about feelings, hormonal influences and sex. These things are subject to change while love endures forever. Love is about commitment; what challenges have you been through together? Every woman expects her man to get to really know every thing about her and still love and accept her for who she is. A man cannot really love a woman he doesn't really know; otherwise the feeling would be mere biochemistry! True love always requires sacrifice. It is the controlling factor in any healthy relationship. You are in a healthy relationship if it brings out the best in you and you realize you get better every day. 1Corinthhians 13 paints a true picture of love.

2 Listening.

Every woman wants your undivided attention whenever she's talking to you. She wants you to understand her

3. Leadership.

She wants a leader, not a dictator. It's a terrible thing to be behind a parked car. It's similarly terrible to be behind a man who cannot take major decisions and make a move. She also wants her views to be appreciated too. A woman is supposed to stand beside a man, not above, in front, below, or behind. This is indicated by the fact that God made the woman from a structure obtained from the side of a man. So, she should also be part of the decision-making.

4. Provision.

She wants someone dependable enough, someone she can lean on, someone who will provide her needs. This is not limited to finance alone. Financial provision is very important; however, the importance of provision of some other factors can not be over-emphasized. For example, a woman wants security; she wants to be protected, she wants to feel safe psychologically and socially, too. She wants you to stand for her everywhere, all the time. She wants to know she can count on you.

5. Approval.

Every woman wants to be approved. She wants a man who'd say nice things about her wherever he goes. This would be evidenced by the kind of reception she gets from the public when she makes an appearance. A man should be proud of his wife everywhere, every time.

6 Godliness.

Every woman wants a godly man, an honest man in every respect, with strength of character. Someone whose personality is consistent in public and in secret.

In conclusion, 1Samuel 16:18 paints the picture of a real man who is dependable; a man you could lean on. That's who every woman wants.

The thing about S**(remix)

Missnikky — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 13:46:19 UT

SEX IS NOT SOMETHING DONE OUTSIDE MARRIAGE

Emotions they say is like a wildfire, never satisfied, ready to consume everything on its way. Decisions create events. Decide for the good of yourself and God. If you are in a relationship and your spouse wants to have it (all the time), it is better you call it off before harm is done. Sex is not what you do to cool off outside marriage. It is a sacred relationship to be enjoyed in the sanctity of a marriage context.

THE THREE THINGS ABOUT SEX

1. Sex is progressive in nature
You don’t always decide to have sex outside marriage but most people end up having sex because they do not understand the law of progression. The law says you always move towards greater physical intimacy with your partner unless you consciously decide against it. What satisfied you the last time you met will not satisfy you the next time you meet. So there had to be a conscious agreement as to what not to do in the context of any relationship which neccessarily needs the backup of God’s word.

2. Sex is not love
Whoever wants you to prove your love by consenting to sex outside marriage is a compound fool. There is no love in that context, only gratification of an hormonal rush that will bring unprecedented heartaches. That sex equals love is an eternal aberration.

3. Sex is not the most important thing.
Food is more important than sex. You cannot survive for a year without eating, but I do know of people who survived for years without sex! They\\\\\\\'ve never had sex until they got married. Sex appears urgent, but what is urgent is not necessarily important. Sex can wait. You can wait. God wants you to wait.

U gat to be sincere with yourself. Never be caught up with self-deceit. Be straightforward so that your destiny can be straight. One degree away from truth is also falsehood. When fire is brewing under you, don’t act as if you’re in ‘A.C’. You can only correct what you confront. Seek help. Don’t hide. The extent of your vulnerability is the degree to which you are secretive about your weaknesses.

Good Morning to each and every one.......HAPPY VAL'S DAY

Missnikky — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 08:32:39 UT

First thing, in the morning,
as I begin my day,
I turn on my computer,
to see what my email friends have to say.

They bring me such delight,
with notes and cards and such,
And I appreciate their thoughtfulness,
so very much!

Sometimes, there's a concern,
a need for a quick prayer,
and it encourages me to know,
that they are always there.

I hear the birds early chirping,
with happy songs in their hearts,
and just like my Friends,
they give me a cheerful start.

I'm blessed each and every morning,
to see their names in my mailing list,
and when one isn't there,
they are truly missed.

Even though we are far apart,
and exist in Cyber Space,
I hope, someday, to meet them all,
smiling, face to face.

So, I want to say
"Good Morning!"
to each and every one of you.
Have a Blessed and Happy Day,
and "Thanks" for making mine one, too!

ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! ATTENTION!!!

Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve

Missnikky — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:54:06 UT

God: Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No... Who is this?

God: This is GOD. I heard your prayers.
So, I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good.
I am actually busy now.

God: What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But, I can't find free time.
Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.

God: Sure. Activity gets you busy.
Productivity gets you results.
Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. Yet, I still can't figure out. By the way,
I was not expecting YOU to call me on instant messaging chat

God: I wanted to solve your fight for time, by giving you some
clarity. In this internet era, I wanted to reach you
through the way in which you would understand.

Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God: Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis makes it
complicated.

Me: Why are we constantly unhappy?
God: Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about
yesterday. You are worrying because you are analyzing.
Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not
happy.

Me: How can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God: Uncertainty is inevitable. Worrying is optional.

Me: There is so much pain due to uncertainty.
God: Pain is inevitable - it will come. Suffering is optional,
you can choose.

Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people also suffer?
God: Diamonds cannot be polished without friction.
Gold cannot be purified without fire.
Good people go through trials, but, don't suffer.
With that experience, their life becomes better,
not bitter.

Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God: Yes. Experience is a hard teacher.
She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.

Me: Still, why should we go through such tests?
Why can't we be free from problems?
God: Problems are purposeful roadblocks offering beneficial
lessons to develop strength.
Inner strength comes from struggle and endurance,
not when you are free from problems.

Me: Frankly, in the midst of so many problems,
we don't know where we are heading ...
God: If you look outside, you will not know where you are going.
Look inside.
Looking outside, you dream.
Looking inside, you awaken.
Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.

Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than
moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God: Success is a measurement decided by others.
Satisfaction is a measurement decided by you.
Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying.
You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.

Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God: Always look at how far you have come rather than how far
you have to go.
Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.

Me: What surprises you about people?
God: When they suffer they ask, "Why me?"
When they prosper, they never ask "Why me?"
Everyone wishes to have truth on their side.
Few want to be on the side of the truth.

Me: Sometimes, I ask, "Who am I? Why am I here?"
I can't get the answer.
God: Seek not to find who you are, but, to determine who you
want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are
here. Create it.
Life is not a process of discovery.
It's a process of creation.

Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God: Face your past without regret.
Handle your present with confidence.
Prepare for the future without fear.

Me: One last question. Sometimes, I feel my prayers are not
answered.
God: There are no unanswered prayers. At times, the answer is
"NO."

Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God: Well, keep the faith and drop the fear.
Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve.

Trust me.

I JUST CANT RESIST THE LAUGH - CRAZY BOY

Missnikky — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 10:02:04 UT

GOOD DAY PALLIES,

THIS IS A CONFESSION OF AN IJAW KID

SUCH A SMART BOY.........................

Little Diepriye came into the kitchen where his mother
was making dinner.
His birthday was coming up and he thought this was a
good time to tell his mother what he wanted.
"Mom, I want a bike for my birthday." Little Priye was
a bit of a troublemaker.
He had gotten into trouble at school and at home.
Priye"s mother asked him if he thought he deserved to get a bike for his birthday. Little Priye, of course, thought he did.

Priye"s mother wanted Priye to reflect on his behavior
over the last year.
"Go to your room, Priye, and think about how you have
behaved this year.

Then write a letter to God and tell him why you
deserve a bike for your birthday." Little Priye stomped up the steps to his room and sat down to write God a letter.

Letter 1
Dear God,
I have been a very good boy this year and I would like
a bike for my birthday. I want a red one.
Your friend,
Priye

Priye knew that this wasn"t true. He had not been a
very good boy this year, so he tore up the letter and started over.

Letter 2
Dear God,
This is your friend Priye. I have been a good boy this
year and I would like a red bike for my birthday.
Thank you.
Your friend Priye

Priye knew that this wasn"t true either. So, he tore
up the letter and started again.

Letter 3
Dear God,
I have been an "OK "boy this year. I still would
really like a bike for my birthday.
Priye

Priye knew he could not send this letter to God
either. So, Priye wrote a fourth letter.

Letter 4
God,
I know I haven"t been a good boy this year. I am very
sorry. I will be a good boy if you just send me a bike for my birthday.
Please!
Thank you,
Priye

Priye knew , even if it was true, this letter was not
going to get him a bike.

Now, Priye was very upset. He went downstairs and told
his mom that he wanted to go to church. Priye"s mother thought her
plan had worked, as Priye looked very sad.
"Just be home in time for dinner," Priye"s mother told him.

Priye walked down the street to the church on the corner.

Little Priye went into the church and up to the altar. He looked around to see if anyone was there. Priye bent down and picked up a statue of the Mary. He slipped the statue under his shirt and ran out of the church, down the street, into the house, and up to his room. He shut the door to his room and sat down with a piece of paper and a pen. Priye began to write his letter to God.

Letter 5
God,
I"VE KIDNAPPED YOUR MAMA . IF YOU WANT TO SEE HER
AGAIN, SEND THE BIKE!!!!!!!! !!

The hit man.

Diepriye

The Psycho Test

Missnikky — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:31:21 UT

Read this question, come up with an answer and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has gotten it right-including me.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, so much her dream guy she believed him to be just that! She fell in love with him right there, but never asked for his number and could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

(Give this some thought before you answer).

You have the answer? Maybe you should write it down.

>>>>>>>>>>> NOW SCROLL DOWN.

>>>>>>>>>>> SCROLL DOWN.

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, then you think like a psychopath.

This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly. If you didn"t answer the question correctly good for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you off of my email list... or better still, i wouldn"t want to tick you off, so I"ll just be extra nice to you from now on.

Be sure to share the test.

TRUE FORGIVENESS

Missnikky — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 15:56:34 UT

One night in a church service a young woman felt the tug of God at her heart. She responded to God's call and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior. The young woman had a very rough past, involving alcohol, drugs, and prostitution.

But, the change in her was evident. As time went on she became a faithful member of the church. She eventually became involved in the ministry, teaching young children.

It was not very long until this faithful young woman had caught the eye and heart of the pastor's son. The relationship grew and they began to make wedding plans. This is when the problems began.

You see, about one half of the church did not think that a woman with a past such as hers was suitable for a pastor's son. The church began to argue and fight about the matter. So they decided to have a meeting.

As the people made their arguments and tensions increased, the meeting was getting completely out of hand. The young woman became very upset about all the things being brought up about her past.

As she began to cry the pastor's son stood to speak.He could not bear the pain it was causing his wife to be. He began to speak and his statement was this:

"My fiancee's past is not what is on trial here.
What you are questioning is the ability of the blood of Jesus to wash away sin. Today you have put the blood of Jesus on trial. So, does it wash away sin or not?"

The whole church began to weep as they realized that they had been slandering the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Too often, even as Christians, we bring up the past and use it as a weapon against our brothers and sisters.

Forgiveness is a very foundational part of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If the blood of Jesus does not cleanse the other person completely then it cannot cleanse us completely.
If that is the case, then we are all in a lot of trouble.What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus! End of case!!!!

"Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." Psalm 55:23

Ways to Spark a Lady

Missnikky — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:16:43 UT

Actions they say speak louder than words. Most men think that they need a clever line to approach a woman but it is not what you say that's important, but how you approach.

Most women put more importance on visual clues to assess a man's character. They don't care what you say, as long as you say it without hesitation and with authority. Unfortunately, most men don't know this, so they walk over to a woman like a wounded animal expecting to be rejected. When you approach like a wounded animal, you will be rejected every single time -- no matter how clever a remark you may have.

With 80 percent of human interaction based on nonverbal body language, what is a man to do? The key to impressing her right off the bat is to be DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER MEN who are approaching her that evening.

Here a few sure-fire ways to make your approach more powerful and convincing, even if you are not sure what you are going to say:
1. Walk with confidence. When you see a woman that you are attracted to, walk right over. Stand up straight and walk over slowly but with confidence. Make sure your chest is puffed out and your posture is looking strong and not slumped over. Keep eye contact as you approach. Do not hesitate. Most men linger in the background before they approach, then, when you finally do approach, she is quick to turn her back on you. The reason is that you did not exude confidence. Most women notice who is observing them.
When you do not approach within seconds of spotting her, you might as well go home.

2. Lose the male pack. When out on the town, avoid being seen with the drunken testosterone pack of males. One of the biggest turn-offs for women is the "male pack" -- you with five of your buddies high-fiving each other, drinking and checking out other women. When you approach a woman with your buddies waiting on the sideline, she will impulsively reject you in front of the pack to avoid being scrutinized later. Break away from the male pack and find one other guy to go out on the town with. Save the male bonding for a sports bar.

3. Dress for a strong appearance. Make sure you're not sabotaging your efforts with your attire. If you look like a slob, it will not matter what your body language says, because you will look like every other man who put no thought into what he was going to wear that night to attract women. Buy clothing that makes you stand out from the rest of the men. Find a cool pair of jeans and some great shirts that give you an edge, so when you walk in with the right body language, women will see you. Keep in mind that shoes are really important too, so find a few pairs that look great on you.

4. Create a spark within her. Most men's conversation will center on being agreeable and non-confrontational in the hopes that she likes you. In the mind of a woman, playing it safe equals boring! You need to spark her interest by being a bit disagreeable.
For example, you get into a conversation about summer movies and she says that "Spiderman III" was her favorite Spidey movie so far. Instead of being agreeable, look her right in the eye with confidence and tell her that she is so wrong -- the first Spiderman was superior. Then proceed to tell her why you think so. This will create a fun, friendly, flirtatious verbal sparring, which will create a spark in her brain. She will realize that you are not a pushover like most men and attraction will start to form in her head.

5. Maintain some tension.
Flirting with women is all about gathering information, so the better listener you are, the better your chances. When you call her, you will have more things to talk about. Before calling a woman, I think about everything she said and then I pick the most juicy topic or opinion and challenge her with it. She will immediately respond to the challenge and text you back. You have just learned the secret of re-creating the tension that you shared with her. Plus, you are being totally unlike every other guy who waits three days to call her and schedule a predictable dinner date.

SEX BEFORE MARRIAGE....IS IT THE RIGHT THING?

Missnikky — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 09:04:44 UT

Men are naturally hunters! That’s the way God made them. The sex drive of men is much more powerful than that of women, naturally. Unfortunately, not many men have the ability or the desire to control their sex drive. If a guy is so much in love and he says the only way for you to show your love is by sleeping with you, he’s a liar. He is not in love, he is in Lust! If you are stupid enough to fall for his seduction, you will regret it. Tell him to wait until you get married. If he can’t wait, let him run off somewhere. Believe me, you haven’t lost anything. He’s just a Billy Goat in heat!

Wanna thank u all for ur comments on this topic of sex. i can only deduce that most of u guys think having sex during a relationship is a reward or a price to pay to your girl/boyfriend which is not so. for God sake if im going out with someone and the person thinks for him to be sure of mi love for him or that he wants to have something that even if i dont marry him, he wont be sad........dats pure rubbish, i rather burn the eprson,he is not worth mi love or sacrifice.

True love is being trustworty to the person you fall for, share your problems together, plan for your future together and always stand by each other every moment of ur lives. Love is very great and always cause problem among uurselves. Sex is not worth given out in a relationship or courtship but only when married. Any man that require for sex is surely going to be a betrayal then why lose ur virginity or ur self esteem/personality just like dat because u dont want him to go or wateva. Be ur self and u will be love by ur future person than the pretenders that exists right now.

My people of nigeria lets be ourselves and not to copy the whites nature. thanks to everyone that read this blog....do have a nice time

The True Source of Love

Missnikky — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 07:53:36 UT

To most people, love remains a mystery. It is rarely compared to anything other than a physical/chemical attraction between a man and woman.

Before continuing, we must state that people sometimes do express love between each other. For example, those who lay down their lives to save others, such as the brave actions of a college professor during the Virginia Tech massacre.

A mother’s love for her child is perhaps the greatest expression of love among human beings. Yet even the love of a mother is ultimately based on self interest: a mother is naturally more concerned over her own child than someone else’s. The love human beings exhibit is, at best, a mixture of selflessness and selfishness.

But the love of God is different.

A best-selling book read by multiple millions, but understood by only a few, offers insight into the subject of true love. The Holy Bible plainly states that the Creator is the Author of love. In fact, “God is love” (I John 4:8, 16).

If this is so, then how does God demonstrate His love? What are the requirements to receive it?

John 3:16 is one of the most well-known Bible verses in the world: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Thus we begin to see the nature of God’s love: He gives.

In Matthew 22:35-40, Jesus Christ distinguished two distinct areas of love: (1) toward God and (2) toward fellow man.

This is reflected in the Ten Commandments: The first four reflect love toward God (Ex. 20:2-11); the last six reflect love toward mankind (vs. 12-17).
“Love is the fulfilling of the law”

Many people talk about loving God and claim that they are in harmony with Him. However, the real test of one’s love for God was written by the apostle John. “For this is the love of God, that we keep His Commandments: and His Commandments are not grievous” (I John 5:3).

The apostle Paul wrote, “For he that loves another has fulfilled the law. Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law” (Romans 13:8, 10).

God even expects people to love their enemies: “You have heard that it has been said, You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully [spitefully] use you, and persecute you” (Matt. 5:43-44).

When someone has been wronged, human nature influences people to retaliate, whether verbally or physically. Yet doing so breaks God’s Law: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord” (Rom. 12:19).

Instead, God expects a different approach: “Therefore if your enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” (vs. 20-21).

But how often do people or governments “turn the other cheek”?
Love’s Unique Characteristics

The Bible further defines love in I Corinthians 13—commonly known as the “Love Chapter”—with detailed characteristics, stating that love (charity)…

* Is patient and tender toward others (vs. 4)
* Is not jealous of others (vs. 4)
* Does not brag about its own accomplishments (vs. 4)
* Is not arrogant or proud (vs. 4)
* Is never rude or discourteous (vs. 5)
* Does not promote self above others (vs. 5)
* Is not easily offended or quick to become angry (vs. 5)
* Does not keep account of evil or impute evil motives (vs. 5)
* Does not rejoice over lawlessness (vs. 6)
* Rejoices when truth triumphs over deceitful ways (vs. 6)
* Endures without revealing what distress is taking place, is eager to believe the best, is always hopeful, and remains patient, even in persecutions (vs. 7)
* Love “never fails” (vs. 8)—it is never out of use, and always motivates a person to act in another’s best interest.

God’s Word reveals that love is the greatest attribute one can possess, the highest standard one can achieve.

Imagine! What if nations applied this standard of excellence when interacting with other governments? What if sports teams, politicians, businesses, families and individuals set their focus on measuring up to God’s standard of outgoing concern for others?

Certainly, this world would be dramatically different! War, terrorism and all other acts of violence would cease. Bitter sports rivalries would disappear. Divorce and subsequent broken families would be a thing of the past.

Sadly, this is not the reality! And what lies ahead for a world that practices breaking all of God’s laws is leading all nations and individuals along a path few understand as a form of love: correction!

Laugh it off!!!

An airplane flying has some problems. The pilot says the plane is losing height and all the baggage must be thrown out. (Pilot) "We're still losing height, we must throw everything out that is in the cabin" Despite more things being thrown out the plane continues its descent. (Pilot) "Still going down - we must throw out some people" There's a big gasp from the passengers! (Pilot) "But to make this fair - passengers will be thrown out in alphabetical order, so A, any Africans on board?" No one moves. (Pilot) "B, any Blacks on board?" No one moves. (Pilot) "C, any Caribbeans on board?" Still no one moves. Little black boy asks his dad , "Dad, what are we?" (Dad) Shhhhhhhh "Tonight son, we are Zulus.

Before I was a Mom

Missnikky — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 11:25:10 UT

To all ladies out there most especially mothers, ds is for u:
I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom-I had never been:
Puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to
put them down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I
couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom -
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so
important and happy.

Before I was a Mom -
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

The supreme happiness in life is ..........

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit,
Inside the heart of each and every one of us there is a longing to be understood by someone who really cares.
When a person is understood, he or she can put up with almost anything in the world
The heart is the place where we live our passions.
It is frail and easily broken, but wonderfully resilient.
There is no point in trying to deceive the heart.
It depends upon our honesty for its survival
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven.
And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other,
their streams of light flow together,
and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.
The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love
and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it,
you will discover that for you the world is transformed.
We all know what constitutes loving behavior; we need but act upon it, not continually question it.
Over-analysis often confuses the issue and in the end brings us no closer to insight.
We sometimes become too busy classifying, separating, and examining, to remember that love is easy.
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted.
Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart,
or its flame burns low It's we who make it complicated
we all need someone to share our sorrowfull and joyfull moment with ,
someone who will be there at the moment of trial, at the moment of pain and leisure activities.
However being deeply loved by someone gives you strength;
loving someone deeply gives you courage,
Really, love is the master key that opens the gates of happiness.
The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved.

Thank you

The beauty of the day lies on the decision you take, your willingness to forgive those who offend you, your desire to tolerate one another, give peace a chance... and your ability to hold back your anger even when it is imperative to burst out.
My Dear...those that seek peace, will find peace, those that seek wealth will find it, but those that seek Love will find everything... choose right.
A ball is a circle, no beginning, no end. It keeps us together like our circle of friends. But the treasure inside for you to see is the treasure of friendship You've granted to me. Today I pass the friendship ball to you so pass it on to someone that you love most.......

.....but never found the time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.....
All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
The! y'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No tim! e to giv e to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God! held a book;
It was the boo! k of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find
I once was going to write it down...
But never found the time

A TEST

Missnikky — Fri, 04 May 2007 16:28:12 UT

U know the relationship between two eyes..? they blink together, they move together, they cry together, they see things together and they sleep together BUT THEY NEVER SEE EACH OTHER.. that's what's friendship !!! If I called you and asked you to pick me up because something happened.... would you come?.... If I had one day left to live my life... would you be part of my last day?.... If I needed a shoulder to cry on.... would you give me yours? This is a test to see who is your real friend or just someone that talks to you when they are bored. .

Do You Know That.....

Every night , someone thinks about you before u go to sleep. At least 15 people in this world love u in some way. The only reason why someone hates u is cos they wanna be just like u. There are at least 2 people in this world who wud die for u. You mean the world to someone. Someone that u dont even think exists loves u. When u make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it. When u think that the world has turned its back on u, take a second look at whats facing u. Always remember the compliments u recieved and forget the rude remarks

Doing the Remarkable

Missnikky — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:52:41 UT

When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life, here is a key question: what can you do, starting today, that will make a difference? What can you do during economic chaos? What can you do when everything has gone wrong? What can you do when you've run out of money, when you don't feel well and it's all gone sour? What can you do?

Let me give you the broad answer first. You can do the most remarkable things, no matter what happens. People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances.

Here is why humans can do remarkable things: because they are remarkable. Humans are different than any other creation. When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds. And the reason is because he's a dog. But that's not true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens.

Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune, and disaster into success. And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable. Try reaching down inside of yourself; you'll come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts. They're there, waiting to be discovered and employed.

With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change. And I challenge you to do that because you can change. If you don't like how something is going for you, change it. If something isn't enough, change it. If something doesn't suit you; change it. If something doesn't please you, change it. You don't ever have to be the same after today. If you don't like your present address change it - you're not a tree!

If there is one thing to get excited about, it's your ability to make yourself do the necessary things, to get a desired result, to turn the negative into success. That's true excitement.

Wherever You Are, Be There

Missnikky — Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:46:02 UT

One of the major reasons why we fail to find happiness or to create unique lifestyle is because we have not yet mastered the art of being.

While we are home our thoughts are still absorbed with solving the challenges we face at the office. And when we are at the office we find ourselves worrying about problems at home.

We go through the day without really listening to what others are saying to us. We may be hearing the words, but we aren't absorbing the message.

As we go through the day we find ourselves focusing on past experiences or future possibilities. We are so involved in yesterday and tomorrow that we never even notice that today is slipping by.

We go through the day rather than getting something from the day. We are everywhere at any given moment in time except living in that moment in time.

Lifestyle is learning to be wherever you are.

It is developing a unique focus on the current moment, and drawing from it all of the substance and wealth of experience and emotions that it has to offer.

Lifestyle is taking time to watch a sunset.

Lifestyle is listening to silence.

Lifestyle is capturing each moment so that it becomes a new part of what we are and of what we are in the process of becoming.

Lifestyle is not something we do; it is something we experience. And until we learn to be there, we will never master the art of living well.

Care And Maintenance Of The Human Hard Drive

Missnikky — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 16:23:42 UT

The human brain is very much like a hard drive. If you stop to think of it, they are both filled with billions of tiny bits of information, stored in the memory cells just waiting to be accessed. They both use electrical energy to find those bits and put them together to recreate something that we have placed there. They work on demand, and we expect them to instantly give us what we want.

And frankly, many people abuse both their hard drives and their brains! They fill them up with information and expect them to perform at top efficiency without the benefit of good maintenance. There are some basic support tasks that are essential to the well being of both. If you don't take proper care of both of them, eventually they will fail you.

Both brains and hard drives need to be de-fragged on a regular basis! De-fragmentation means that you allow the machine (brain or hard drive) to rearrange the information that has been stored in it, so that it can find what you need more quickly and efficiently. When bits of information get stored all over the place, with no logical order to it, then it takes a lot longer for the machine to find and reassemble what you need quickly.

Probably, you have your hard drive set up to de-frag itself on a regular basis. It is done automatically, maybe while you sleep. Well, your brain does not have a task-scheduler to take care of this for you! It is busy 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. It can't reset itself while you sleep. That is because it is still working on the things that your subconscious is trying to sort out. It is dreaming and remembering and stressing all the while.

So how do you de-frag your brain? Well, it takes three things: rest, relaxation and meditation. If you are a type A personality, then these three things may be totally foreign territory for you! You may be in a high-stress job, or always be taking care of others but never yourself, or you may somehow think that taking care of yourself first is something that you do not deserve. Wrong! If you do not take care of this, it will force the issue. You may get sick, depressed or worse.

Meditation is an excellent way of maintaining your brain. It forces you to sit, relax and do "nothing" for a bit. You clear your poor brain of the clutter and the chatter and just let it run free. You do not have to do anything special, really, to meditate; you just find something that transports you! Music works for a lot of people. You can dance if it helps you, or do some drumming. You could get a good meditation tape or CD and listen to that. You could even sign up for a Tai Chi course, or try some yoga. Whatever you decide to do, do it regularly. At least once a week is necessary for the proper de-fragging of the average hard drive and the average brain.

At the very least you should be setting aside some time every week to just do something relaxing. Take a long bubble bath with some candles lit and some soothing music playing. Go sit outside in nature. The trick here is to just DO it, to take the time for yourself no matter what. See that you deserve it and that it is just as important as going to a doctor when you are sick. In fact, it can help keep those doctor visits to a minimum!

And while you are at it, consider getting a good anti-virus too. Your hard drive needs it to protect your information, and your body needs it to keep healthy. Anti-virus for the body means taking better care of you. Eat something healthy, go out and take a walk, and get more sleep! You can find the time to do this if you make it a priority.

If you take care of your hard drive, both the computer type and the body type, your life will improve significantly. Both will run smoothly and have a lot less crashes!
