It's Friday!

Although weekend is not totally rest days for m, I still look forward to it every week. As a matter of fact I think I have more things to do on weekends than weekdays. Finally, I will be able to sit down and work on the fund raising event we are planning. It’s quite a shame that I only manage to finish 2 of my to do list for this week. So as usual I see a busy weekend even with my online life, I’m thankful of many online opportunities that are coming my way. God knows we need it. Good thing I enjoy surfing and looking at the sites that were being assigned to me, like this Rimowa from luggagesource.com. I know someday me and hubby will be needing this especially if we are to go out in the mission field.

Please join us in our prayers

Our Prayer requests :

1. Our fund raising concert - pls. pray for the needs, the venue, the people that will work on this event, the band, the guest singer, the financial provision and please pray also for God's presence and leading about this concert.

2. Please pray for our passports. We will apply probably first week of next month. Pray that every documents we prepared are okay. Please pray for the provision too as this is not included in our budget.

3. In regards to our passport - because we will be needing it come February, we want to attend the Regional conference in Macau and have our very first mission exposure outside the country too. Pray also for God's provision for our Macau trip. Registration is at $210 for each participant excluding food and airfare.

4. My 5 year old nephew will undergo "eye operation", we don't know when but the doctor said it has to be soon or else he'll be blind. My heart was broken when I heard this but I look at this as God's way to show us how powerful and might HE is.

Thank you for praying for us and may the Lord bless you all and keep you.

Am I a phone directory?

I am my boss’ phone directory. I mean he expects me to know all the phone numbers of people we are in contact with, so I make it a point to remember them, sometimes even when I’m home he’ll call and ask for someone’s number. Of course I have my own directory too just in case I forgot. Yellow pages is a must for me. Online directories are very popular now a day. It is so nice that I can Search Area Codes anytime and not only phone numbers but with additional information as well.

My SKYWATCH #2

We talk about what?

I just came home from a friend’s house. We had dinner there, it was supposed to be last Tuesday but because I was so tired then I gave my regrets to the invitation. It is good to hang out with friends sometimes, especially when you all have your own lives now, married and trying to establish a family. We only gather and meet once in a while so you could just imagine how sad that the time flies so fast for us as we dine and chat. I’m just amazed how each of us changed, matured and grown in emotional, mental and spiritual level. You can say physical too because I noticed we’re getting bigger everyday.

Before, we used to talk about beauty stuff, make ups, lipsticks, lotions and colognes, sometimes men (wink! wink!) and movies but now it’s so different. It is so common for us now to discuss something about our homes and we love talking about kitchen hutches and kitchen stuff, about curtains, about beds and linens. We don’t have kids yet so we don’t discuss much about parenting and kids.

I don’t have my own house yet and I live in a very small room for now but once I get to move on and get my own place I’ll be so delighted to furnish it with things I love. Like this quality sideboards that looks so neat! A while ago we also talk about designs we want. I love minimalism too like one of my friend. I love to have the space where I can freely move so I know I’ll be choosing that kind of furniture.

For my own house I dream of having this buffet furniture in my living room.

I found this at ebuffet.com. I browse all their furniture and they’re all nice. From there you can choose and make combination of your preferences. What a lovely home that would be!

Thankful Thursday

♥ I thank God for the JOY that HIS promise brings.

♥ I am thankful for the JOY of reading HIS words, HIS teachings.

♥ Thank God for the JOY and privilege of serving you.

♥ I am thankful also for some bad news yesterday that made me sad, without it I’ll never know how God replaces those sad moments with joyful moments.

♥ I am thankful for God’s financial blessings, meeting our every need day by day.

♥ I want to thank God also for those who have pledge support for the scholarship ministry, to my friend Jerlyn and Lester. I was amazed once again on God’s being right on time. The money they sent was needed in time for 2^nd semester enrollment.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!

Let us know what you are thankful for this week. See you on Iris’ Grace alone site.

Excited for my project

The post about the project-family tree excites me, of course it’s still a plan and I haven’t even started it but nevertheless I’m excited. I want this one to materialize so I can show something to my kids someday and to my nieces and nephews. This is something the whole family can be proud of. Now, the first thing to do is ask mom’s help, I don’t know if we have more relatives in other countries besides my Aunt’s family in Illinois. For sure I won’t be doing an inmate search because I never heard someone from the family being sent to jail. Thank God for that. But yes, I know I’ll be doing a lot of research for this project.

missing those happy times

and because we chatted a while ago over skype, makes me realize I miss them :) the happy times together and makes me think also..will there be more good times ahead of us?

Eco friendly gifts

Are you done with your Christmas gift list? I have not started listing mine, as usual it will be a long one, with all my godchildren and hubby’s godchildren and all the names I am thinking of, it will really be a long one. One of this days I am going to start that list. Right now I’m thinking of nice and useful gifts to give, I’ll probably consider eco friendly gifts, I think that would be a nice choice, it is still good to think of the environment while enjoying the holidays right?

Featured Site: Petwave

Badette loves our TV so much..sigh I miss him sometimes

Most of us have pets at home sadly though we lost Badette our cat one week ago. If in case you are looking for information on how to take care of your pets, here’s a site for you. As usual it is online so you can browse to your heart content as long as you have internet connection. You’ll find it very helpful as you can see there almost everything about your pet, from the food to health care, to rabies facts and even to their behaviors. In our home, hubby is the one who loves pet, I’m actually learning from him, maybe when we have our own house already we will be able to maintain and take good care of a cat and a dog. This time though that we aren’t allowed to have one, he might consider the fish and finally get that aquarium from my sis house.

Dear Intercessors,

October 29th marks the anniversary of the stock market crash of 1929, after which the great depression ensued. Earlier this year, the Lord reminded me of this, adding that ”...Satan wants to do it again!”. We must be proactive through prayer!

For this reason, I am issuing a worldwide prophetic call to a Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies on October 29, 2008.

The Reformation Prayer Network and The Global Day of Prayer in the Unite d States will be joining us in this prayer initiative. Please rally your prayer groups to set themselves upon the wall on October 29, 2008 to intercede for the economic systems of this nation and the nations of world. To facilitate unified global intercession on this day, a prayer guide has been provided below.

Let us know if you will be joining us for the Day of Prayer for the World’s Economies on October 29, 2008, by emailing a brief note to rpn@generals.org.

Warring for the soul of our nation,

Cindy and Mike Jacobs
