Arise 'N Shine

I chose to write about some of my favorite artists. So, you're going to read some posts about them.  I start with Nicole C. Mullen, not because I love her the most, or anything else, but because I've recently listened to her testimony, which is really awesome! God has worked through her and in her amazingly. She chose to live her life with Jesus and since then her life was changed in something really great! Her music lifts me up each time I listen to them. She praises God with her music and doesn't care about what people might say if she sings this or that, or use these words.  What I also like very much are the words she uses in her songs...they all have a good and powerful message to deliver to the listener. Listen to a part of her testimony, you won't regret it:

On a camp day, we had to take a paper and a pen and write our name on it, like this: R O S E M A R I E You can make the same now...if you want to. Then we had to write qualities to each letter in Romanian. You can write in any language you want. So, in the camp I wrote these words: R -ăbdătoare ( patient ) O -nestă ( honest ) S -merită ( humble ) E -ntuziastă ( enthusiast ) M -ărinimoasă ( magnanimous ) A -devărată ( true ) R -ugăciune ( prayer girl (: ) I -ertătoare ( forgiving ) E -vlavioasă ( holy, godlike ) Are you ready? Did you find words to write them to each letter? Awesome!  Now, if you read them again and know that you chose them well without searching on the internet or dictionaries...search only in your head's drawer :)) LOL!  Thus, these words chosen are the qualities which God requires from you, because He gave them to you to live honoring Him! I'm a curious person, so please let me know w...

Here's something which I had on my heart since camp time...We were in a camp with people of different or no religion. As you all know I hate religion, I'm an anti-religious person, because religion puts walls between people and God, religion is a big subject to talk about but not now. The relationship with God is what matters. Thus, I'll get to the point...there were some people who saw that the girls of our family wear earrings and started gossiping about us and judging us. It was a little bit painful to see how weak "God's people" are or how to say it...do you think God judges people after their outward appearance? How then could He take somebody in from the world? How could we then spread the Good News and save those from the darkness through it? By judging them that they have earrings? What a stupidity...don't you think? I don't own this pic. God showed me something, after I asked Him to tell me something about this subject: ...

The previous week we were in a camp! It was great and I've learnt many things from the teachings of Iulian Avramescu . We were blessed to have him in our camp...really!!! I was very thankful to God for choosing him! You know, I prayed to God to send us a great youth leader who lives what he preaches and loves God very much! And Iulian was the answer...yeheeee. God always answers the prayers of His children...(thank you, Daddy). I'll share only some awesome things he shared with us ('some' because everything he said was amazing and true, but I would write page after page): When you know the truth, it is very important how you'll handle it. Your walk should be faster than your mouth. What you need to know about communication: 1. know both parts 2. don't criticize or interpret 3. don't assume/interpret things 4. don't delay 5. tell your opinion as nice as possible God can use your enemy to break down your walls. The true coolness is ...

Something I have learnt recently is, to examine my promises made to God. God takes our words very seriously and He isn't playing with words as we do. Or don't you play sometimes with words? Am I the only one who likes to speak so much and sometimes useless things? :p  A person who taught me a wise lesson in this field is...guess who?...yeah, it's Solomon the wise king! He once said: Don’t trap yourself by making a rash promise to God  and only later counting the cost.   and   When you make a promise to God, don’t delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. It is better to say nothing than to make a promise and not keep it. Don’t let your mouth make you sin. And don’t defend yourself by telling the Temple messenger that the promise you made was a mistake. That would make God angry, and he might wipe out everything you have achieved. My question for this time (as I use to end some of m...

Recently I read that a 12-year-old boy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, tragically hanged himself. Do you want to know why? Because the next day was his first day at a new school, he was overweight and he dreaded being taunted by others. That's really a tragedy, but I know how the boy felt, because I was sometimes taunted in school too. You know, I wasn't at a Christian school (as I always wished for), but in a German school with proud children who had 'famous' (meaning with money) parents. The thing was that I wasn't like them...I was usually silent at school and I wasn't doing all the bad things they were doing...because of this I got the label: pocăită (meaning 'repenter'/ Christian/ born-again girl) and I hated it. I hated that they called me like that. I wanted to be normal and left alone. I didn't want to be marginalized. I was just a girl with 10 or 12 years and I had my own scars, but children are like that. If they don't understand ot...

This is great and it is very thought-provoking! Who is on the first place of your life? This question followed me through my new life (2 Corinthians 5:17) and God helped me to discover the things which took sometimes His place in my life! With His help I can let Him sit on the place which is His...hm..."I can let Him"? Who am I? Who am I to let Him occupy it? I'm just a human being, who withers like grass and drops off like a flower, but still GOD lets me to have my choice in giving Him the first place, what a loving GOD...what a perfect God...oh,He's so great!!!
