Statement of Life for 2012


MATTHEW 5:8 -- "Those who are pure in their thinking are happy because they will be with God." In another translation, it says blessed are the single - hearted for they shall see God. This is my declaration of life for the year 2012. Yes, I am single. Note how the statement has been made. It's a definite statement. I didn't say I am STILL single because that would imply a certain desperation from the speaker. No, I am not desperate. I am happy and content with what I am now. Being single is the best life for me to live. It gives me the freedom to become the compassionate person that I am. NO ATTACHMENTS, ONLY JESUS! That is my life statement. Alleluia!

Childhood dreams are beginning to turn to reality. I claim all the blessings that God has in store for me this 2012. I am holding on to the promise of a prosperous life that God has always declared in the bible through Jeremiah. I am standing strong to finish the race that God has set for me. I know it will not be easy and there shall be trials and persecutions. But with Jesus, I will be able to overcome. Praised be the name of Jesus forever!

Saint Joan of Arc, virgin and martyr.
I am a soldier for Christ. Like Saint Joan of Arc, I am carrying the message of God to deliver to the people of my generation. This message is the promise of God's love and salvation. I am a follower of Jesus and I am going into the world to make more disciples for my Lord. I shall not be afraid because I know that Jesus will be with me always. That is his promise in Matthew 28:19-20 -- "So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you AND I WILL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTIL THE END OF THIS AGE." Whether I wear a habit or not, this will be my life mission. So help me God. Amen.
