It WAS All About Me,Me and Me

My best friend(since grade 4) and I surprised each other in our Senior's Ball. I know that we weren't really on good terms that time.I know that at that time,we were just trying to hide our mistakes and trying too hard to patch things up.:) Found these photos in my Multiply account.Haha!
That's part of her surprise,btw. :)
Do you know the series Gossip Girl?Do you know the characters in that show?I hope you do.Because this post will be somehow related to that show.
When I was in 4th year high school,Gossip Girl started and my best friend became the Serena Van der woodsen of my life,so obviously I became the Blair Waldorf of her life.Our life during that year "revolved" in that show!HAHA!Well,I won't elaborate everything that happened.But the thing is,it's been 4 years since it happened and looking back?GOD is really the best Author of life.
I have one revelation to tell...When I was a kid until high school,I was really a self-centered spoiled brat human being.See what I mean?Just look at the photos again and read them.Haha!And if you know her,just ask her!:)) All I ever did was to get what I wanted and it was all about me,me and me.The earth should revolve around me.All I ever wanted was to have the "CROWN".I was so mean to other people,I would even tease my best friend until she cries.I would insult other people until they give up and just get mad. I would judge other people a lot and my mind could really go to the other world--the world wherein I enjoy making fun of other people.If there's such.Haha!But again, GOD is really the best Author of life.Thank God that He's the One holding the pen and paper!:) Thank God that He is the God of grace!GOD REALLY CHANGED ME.HE CHANGED ME A LOT AND HE IS STILL CHANGING ME AND I AM REALLY GRATEFUL FOR THAT.HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD EVER CHANGE A HEART OF STONE INTO A HEART OF FLESH.HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD HUMBLE THE PROUD.Oh,God!Thank You for saving me!:)
"I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart."-(Ezekiel 36:26 NLT)
"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."-(Romans 12:2 NLT)
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"-(2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV)
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy -- think about such things."-(Philippians 4:8 NIV)
"Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble."-(Proverbs 21:23 ESV)
"Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips!"-(Psalm 141:3 ESV)
Ayyy!!Let me share about my best friend soon,since it's her birthday 2 months from now. :> 
Thank you for reading!:) Have a nice day!God Bless!:D

My 2nd Best Friend

God is my 1st Best Friend and Grace is the 2nd one. :)) No,grace is not a person.Haha!
In Wikipedia, it says that grace can be defined as the love and mercy given to us by God because God wants us to have it, not because of anything we have done to earn it.It is understood by Christians to be a spontaneous gift from God to man - "generous, free and totally unexpected and undeserved"
Before I came back to God,grace was just an ordinary word for me.But then,the time came when He really explained to me what it really means.YES!!!GRACE is really a gift from God that I don't deserve!I don't deserve to be saved and cleansed of sins,but because of His unending love and grace He sent His One and Only begotten Son to give me a new life.YES!That's GRACE.I'm undeserving,but He still loved and saved me. 
Here are some of the videos about grace that I really loved from the Skit Guys.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God."-(Ephesians 2:8)

Beyond Measure

Beyond Measure 
by Jeremy Camp
The fog has finally cleared to see,
The beautiful life you've given me.
To feel the breeze of my newborns gentle breath.
With one to walk hand in hand,
To share this life that you have planned.
Like a storybook with dreams,
That are meant to see.
Every next step is an extraordinary scene,

(Chorus)
I know that I've been,
Given more than beyond measure.
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears.
I know that I've been given more than earthly treasure.
I come alive when,
I've broken down and given You control.

I've faced a great tragedy,
But have seen the works of what You bring.
A display of faith that You give.
I don't know if I will ever understand,
The depth of what it is You've done inside.
But I know I won't find any worth,
Apart from You.

(Chorus)
Everything that I have,
Has been given so unselfishly.
And shown that even when I don't deserve,
You always show the fullness of Your love.
