Today just now was worried about my tons of incomplete task really make me stressed up and wan to give up.
However this song encourage me and calm me down ...just acappella, pure human vocal.
this is the story behind the song : the composer wrote this song when he lost his four children, his children died in a tragedy..... when he was grief he can wrote "it is well with my soul"
In 1871, tragedy struck Chicago as fire ravaged the city. When it was all over, 300 people were dead and 100,000 were homeless. Horatio Gates Spafford was one of those who tried to help the people of the city get back on their feet. A lawyer who had invested much of his money into the downtown Chicago real estate, he'd lost a great deal to the fire. And his one son (he had four daughters) had died about the same time. Still, for two years Spafford--who was a friend of evangelist Dwight Moody--assisted the homeless, impoverished, and grief-stricken ruined by the fire.
After about two years of such work, Spafford and his family decided to take a vacation. They were to go to England to join Moody and Ira Sankey on one of their evangelistic crusades, then travel in Europe. Horatio Spafford was delayed by some business, but sent his family on ahead. He would catch up to them on the other side of the Atlantic.
Their ship, the Ville de Havre, never made it. Off Newfoundland, it collided with an English sailing ship, the Loch Earn, and sank within 20 minutes. Though Horatio's wife, Anna, was able to cling to a piece of floating wreckage (one of only 47 survivors among hundreds), their four daughters--Maggie, Tanetta, Annie, and Bessie--were killed. Horatio received a horrible telegram from his wife, only two words long: "saved alone."
Spafford boarded the next available ship to be near his grieving wife, and the two finally met up with Dwight Moody. "It is well," Spafford told him quietly. "The will of God be done."
Though reports vary as to when he did so, Spafford was led during those days of surely overwhelming grief to pen the words to one of the most beautiful hymns we know, beloved by Christians lowly and great. Though not yet (to my knowledge) in Catholic hymnals, it has long been a favorite of Baptists (and other evangelicals) including Martin Luther King.
Who can say what it is about life that leads us to such a peace ... like a river. Who can say what ingredients it takes, for this person or that, that transforms such overwhelming sadness into personal peace, or brings healing, or ... leads our souls to a new depth, or compassion. Langston spoke of his people, whose souls had grown .... deep .... like a river. Perhaps the answers lie in the heart. And for each one, whatever the answer is, it comes in a kind of poignant solitude unapproachable in any other way. I ask this, though I just don't know for sure.
the lyrics:
(First Verse)
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, You have taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
(Chorus)
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
(Last Verse)
And Lord, haste my day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall appear,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
(Chorus)
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

“You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'”

Forgiveness
A whole, complete forgiveness is really hard.
sometimes we said that ''is ok, nevermind''
but we still remembered the wrong-doing, the unforgettable, unforgivable hurts.
what is FORGIVE
FOR GIVE means is a GIVE, a unconditional given to that person.
I know it hard,really really hard to walk from the past
but YESTERDAY was a HISTORY ...
"LOVE COVERS ALL WRONGS" ...the only way is to LOVE.

self control
this picture says : "control"
How you feel is from your thought.
"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost;
when health is lost, something is lost;
when character is lost, all is lost."
“Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.” (Prov. 25:28)
"The way you think determines the way you feel,
the way you feel determines the way you act "

When your sad
When your feeling low
When your hurt
And don't know where to go
Think of me. there i'll be
Anytime you need a friend

And your luck runs out
Or if your in trouble or in doubt
It's Ok..turn my way
Anytime you need a friend
(Chours)
La La La
La La
La La La
All our lives
Anywhere we are
Just reach out I'll
Never be to far
Come what mayWhen your scared
I will stay with you
When you feel your fallin'
I'll lift you
When your heartbreaks I'll
Ease your aches,
Whatever it takes I'm in
Anytime you need a friend
There I'll stay
Anytime you need a friend
(Chours)
When you need a friend
Come what may, there i'll stay
Now until the very end
Anytime you need a friend

Love that bind us together
got billie there :)
not whole, but impart... no Billie there
friends that only feel by heart
friendship and sister's love
a bunch of friends who grow with me, forgiveness and acceptance
friends that always right there to hold you
they make me smile
friend is like you feel comfortable with your friends, no matter wht you do.
They understand THAT"S you .. that's y I feel "ME" when I was with them. I found myself.
I LOVE you all, really really miss you all.
p.s:
I won't give the words "forever friends"for you, my friend
but I appreciate you every moment in my life.
i am grateful that I have you in my life
I knew that I met you in my life is not an coincidence
Is amazing that we all are difference,
but because of LOVE that bind us together
thanks for your forgiveness and accept me as a part of your life
we went thru moments that were good and bad,
even moments that were happy and sad.
you suported me when i was in tears,
we stuck together when we were in fear,
we do not have to say a word to each other yet a glance or a smile can pass on deep intimacy and "knowing."
its really sad that it had to be this way,that we will separate one day
miles away cant keep us apart,
'cause you'll always be in my heart, my love always be in you .:,(

Cussing Habit .. little slip of the tongue
now a days , I often uttered a profanity,cursing words, swear words of the four-letter variety
(beginning with “s” and ending in “t”
"f" and ending in "k"
"d" and ending in "n" – I guessing you can fill in the blanks).
I WANT TO KICK THE HABITS OFF ...
"Others might not say anything when you swear,
but are judging your personality and character and is disrespect
ways to Tame Your Tongue :
1. Recognize that swearing does damage.
2. Start by eliminating casual swearing.
3. Think positively.
4. Practice patience.
5. Cope, don't cuss.
6. Stop complaining.
7. Seek alternative words.
8. Make your point politely.
9. Think of what you should have said instead.
10. Work at it. [To which we might add, Pray!]
p.s : WORDS ORIGINATE from the HEART".....how can you who are evil say anything good?
For out of the overflow of the heart the MOUTH SPEAKS,
the good man brings things out of the good stored IN him,
and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored IN him."
(Matthew 11:34b-35)

Stop building walls and

Stop building walls and
start building bridges"
