So this is Love??
It was finally here--Anna's wedding day, the day she had dreamed about and planned for months. The small, picturesque church was crowded with friends and family.
Sunlight poured through the stained-glass, and the gentle music of a string quartet filled the air. Anna walked down the aisle toward David, Joy surfed within her. This was the moment for which she had waited so long. He gently took her hand, and they turned toward the altar.
But as the minister began to lead Anna and David through their vows, the unthinkable happened. A girl stood up in the middle of the congregation, walked quietly to the altar, and took David's other hand. Another girl approached and stood next to the first, followed by another. Soon, a chain of six girls stood by him as he repeated his vows to Anna.
Anna felt her lip began to quiver s tears welled up in her eyes. "Is this some kind of joke?"she whispered to David.
"I'm..I'm sorry, Anna," he said, staring at the floor.
"Who are these girls, David? What is going on?"she gasped.
"They're girls from my past," he answered sadly. "Anna, they don't men anything to me now... but I've given part of my heart to each of them."
"I thought your heart was mine," she said.
"It is, it is," he pleaded. "Everything that's left is yours"
A tear rolled down Anna's cheek. Then she woke up.

Spiritual Leadership-J. Oswald Sanders
- Eagerly start the days’ main work
- Do not murmur at your busyness or the shortness of time, but buy up the time around you
- Never murmur when correspondence is brought in
- Never exaggerate duties by seeming to suffer under the load, but treat all responsibilities as liberty and gladness
- Never call attention to crowded work or trivial experiences
- Before confrontation or censure, obtain from God a real love for the one fault. Know the facts; be generous in your judgment.
- Otherwise. How ineffective, how unintelligible or perhaps provocative your well-intentioned censure may be
- Do not believe everything you hear; do not spread gossip
- Do not seek praise, gratitude, respect or regard for past service
- Avoid complaining when your advice or opinion is not consulted, or having been consulted, set aside
- Never allow yourself to be placed in favorable contrast with anyone
- Do not press conversation to your own needs and concerns
- Seek no favors, nor sympathies; do not ask for tenderness, but receive what comes
- Bear the blame; do not share or transfer it
- Give thanks when credit for your work or ideas is given to another

Love: The One Absolutely Essential Question ( By Kevin Sanders)
CLUELESS ON LOVE? We don't really know. We must read this..
LOVE for YOUNG PEOPLE: Have you heard of Kevin Sanders? He is a missionary and a campus minister. You can read more about him and of his articles at http://kuyakevin.blogspot.com/.
This Heart's season let us learn the real meaning of love, dating, and courtship.
I believe there is one absolutely essential question when it comes to dating/courtship.
Here it is:
Is this the person I want to marry?
It’s just that simple. The goal, after all, is supposed to be finding a lifetime commitment.
Think about it:
If you are not ready to ask this question, then you really have no business dating in the first place (maybe you are too young).
If the answer to this question is “no,” then you need to stop pursuing the relationship and move on—there’s no use wasting time, energy, and emotion.
If you have been dating for months (or years) and still don’t know, it’s time to get serious and make a decision (either marry or break up). Note to the ladies: if a man isn’t talking about marriage after a few months, it’s a really bad sign.
If (after a period of courtship) the answer is “yes,” it’s time to pray and seek godly counsel. If the Lord gives His approval, it’s time to start making wedding plans.
I’m arguing for intentionality. I see many young people waste a lot of time and energy in relationships that aren’t going anywhere. I also see many of them acting as though being a boyfriend/girlfriend is an end in and of itself.
Let’s not play games with our hearts and the hearts of others. This is neither godly nor wise.

Ne-yo's comeback Concert with Jadyn Maria (January 9 2010)
There was a fifteen-minute fireworks before the show in the stage started. DJ MO Twister appeared to be the host (we didn’t see him because we’re still outside, eating) and the first artist was a group of girls. Exactly after everything’s set and we’re on our way inside the concert grounds, we heard that Rivermaya was on stage! So I ran, being a fan of the band. I love bands! Miguel got excited too, so he ran with me. I didn’t know that the band hired a new vocalist since I didn’t hear news about them lately. Fortunately, I found him really cute. n_n His name is Jason Fernandez. They sang a few of my favorite cheesy tagalong songs. Unfortunately, I hadn’t taken a picture of them because they are way too far. They finished singing before 8PM.
We were all excited for Neyo on stage so we waited for him for about an hour. But it’s ok; it’s worth waiting for. The first thing Nay’s said was, “Rest in peace MJ!” He has this hat that covers his eyes. Everyone shouted including us. His first song was “Because of You”. We really enjoyed singing with the tune and dancing to the beat. He has a lot of stunning back up singers, dancers, and instrumentalists. Ne-yo’s dramatic choreographies added more beauty and life to his songs. I don’t really know a majority if his songs but they’re all really familiar. There are four of my favorite songs from him, “So Sick,” “Miss Independent,” “Closer” and “Mad”. So I really waited for those songs so I can sing along. Fortunately, he sang all of the songs! Many people shouted out louder when he sang these songs. I was surprised when he said goodbye and made his way to the backstage without singing “closer.” So the people chanted, “more!” and Neyo came out.
Along with him was Jadyn Maria. She sang two songs. I don’t see her much often on the televisions or radios but she seems pretty cool at the concert. One of her songs is entitled “Little Things,” and I remember she said that this song’s dedicated for those who were taken for granted. It was also a birthday of one of Ne-yo’s back-up dancers so we sang a birthday song at the end of the concert.
Although the concert ended at 11 PM, we still had high energies. We had so much fun and really enjoyed. Before going home, we dropped by to chill at Starbucks and enjoyed Tita Lui’s treat.
