Words of Encouragement

These quotes are dedicated to those that are going through life's un-expectancies. Especially college students. If you want to share these, or add to these, please do. And if you feel that I forgot to tag you, I'm so sorry, let me know and I'll tag you. If you want to, you can tag yourself or your friends on this. GB... :)

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill

"Success is ninety-nine percent failure." Soichiro Honda

Keep Climbing

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Alva Edison

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." -Thomas Alva Edison

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value." - Albert Einstein

"There are no gains without pains." - Benjamin Franklin

"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." - Franklin D. Roosevelt

"I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker." - Helen Keller

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." - Colin Powell

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan

"I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying." - Michael Jordan

"Judas fell once and gave up. Peter fell seven times and kept getting up." - David Asscherick

"What is failure? Other than another lesson in life that drives you forward toward success." -Assdhy F. Lolowang

"I can do thousands of things that I am capable of doing, but what is it worth when it does not bring challenge to life." - Assdhy F. Lolowang

"Never give up, never give up, never give up." - Dicky W. Lolowang

God Our Protector

I love this comic. It shows that God does not let you have trials that you cannot handle.

No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it. - 1 Corinthians 10:13 [MSG]

God's Recall Notice...

The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all
subsequent units.

This defect has been technically termed "Subsequential Internal Non-Morality, " or more commonly known as S.I.N., as it is primarily expressed.

Some other symptoms include:

1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression or confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion
10. Excessive Drinking

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory-authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect. The Repair Technician, Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required.

The number to
call for repair in all areas is: P-R-A-Y-E-R.

Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.
Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component.

No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:

1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self control

Please see the operating manual, the B.I.B.L.E. (Believers' Instructions Before Leaving Earth) for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanently impounded.
DANGER: The human being units not responding to this recall action will have to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thank you for your attention.

-GOD

P.S. Please assist where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice, and you
may contact the Father any time by "kneemail."

LEARNING ABOUT HIS WORD - I was born in an Adventist family, and I've been told of the Bible stories here and there. As I grew, along with my knowledge, I tend to wanting to tried God's promises. But as many times I've done so, God have been pulling me in closer in His arms. And with Him there, He gave me the passion of wanting to know Him more. There is more to learn about God, other than just a God of love. :)

NURSING - I love taking care of people and when I was younger, I had many tragic events where I needed God the most. So, after struggling with the question of what to do in life, I found that giving back to God is the best in life. So, hopefully, after I've finished my never-ending Nursing program, I can work for God by giving my time and my energy in the mission field. That's my goal since High School, and that is my goal now. I'll just pray that God can give me the strength to press on.

THEOLOGY - This is my new passion. I wish I can find someone that can help me to reveal the love of God and His just through His "love letter."

COMPUTER SCIENCE - Other than taking care of people, I've also have the passion of messing with technologies, seeing how it's done or even how it's put together. So, alongside the Nursing major, I'm working on my minor in Computer Science.
UPDATE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE - I think I'm giving up on computer science. I don't like too much competition and selfishness of life, so I'm backing out on it.

DRAWING - I love nature, and I love human beings, so in my free time, I enjoyed drawing nature, or a facial expression of a person. ONLY ON MY FREE TIME...

WRITING POEMS - I think there's a reason why God created a human heart and feelings. I used these gifts to create poems. I've written many poems, just because the heart have been through a lot. :) I wrote about love, loneliness, struggle, relationship with Christ, death, and many more. You can read them on my blogspot at AFLolowang.blogspot.com. :)

TAKING PICTURES - I am an ugly person. God created a beautiful being, but due to sin, I've became who I am now :). That's the reason why God helped an inventor to invent a camera, just so that I can be hid behind it to take beautiful pictures... Of nature of course. :) I'd prefer taking photos of nature rather than faces. I just don't know why. :p

FILMOGRAPHY - I love messing with Sony Vegas on my spare time. Check out AFLolowang and Azdhy on YouTube.

NATURE HIKING - In Colorado, if the weather is gorgeous, I'd love to spend the day hiking with friends. Just enjoying the beautiful creation of God. I'm sorry guys, if you can't see it yet, I'm a very outdoor type of person.

TENNIS - I love playing tennis. I'm very athletic in a tennis kind of way. But I'm not that athletic where I can be a professional tennis player. I can't even beat my friend Stevy yet. Sigh...

OTHER INTERESTS - I'd love to play Piano, Guitar and Flute. I have played with those instruments, but just on my own free time. I want to learn them to a point where I can play all the songs on the church hymnal. :) I also would love to learn other languages like Spanish and French. Korean and Japanese would be nice too.. :) Another interest of mine is to travel. I would love to do missionary work overseas and see the awesome work and wonders of God. Oh wait, I am overseas. :)

Recent Questions:
WHY AM I SINGLE? - This is another embarrassing question that parents always asked. All I can say is, look at Genesis 3 and you'll find the answer. Adam had to work for God, tilling His garden, until God can show him his need. Than, God put him to rest and provided him with his help-meet.

WHY DO I SMILE WITH MY MOUTH CLOSED? - Good question. When I was under the age of 10, five at the time, my brother and I fell off of a steep rocky hill. My brother's and my head were tore open. At the time, the only way for my wound to heal faster was to use an antibiotic called Tetracycline and our dad fell in love with the drug. So whenever I bumped and tore my skin, Tetracycline was the drug to use. Without knowing, Tetracycline has a side effect to children under the age of 10, and the side effect is the discoloration of our teeth. So if I refused to smile with my mouth open, that is the reason why.
