| so this is the 3rd time i've had a dream about the past. in my dreams i'm always tempted to go against God's Will, but each time, i end up following God's Will despite the temptations. in the past my dreams usually have me doing or saying things that i would never do or say in real life. i guess maybe that means that before, i dreamt about doing stuff that i really wanted to deep down inside? i guess now, my belief systems actually match what i actually want to do. sometimes, i also have dreams of praying the rosary, or praying for others in general. once in a while, i have actually quoted or referred to a bible verse in my dreams. perhaps this means that the love i have for God is so deep that i even dream about loving Him.  | | |

for the first time in my life, i'm teaching religion to middle school kids. i decided before the school year started that the one thing i definitely wanted my students to come away with at the end of this school year is a better understanding of the bible and to find joy in reading it. my 6th grade class is totally loving reading the bible! these kids are only 10 or 11 years old and yet, they're super excited when i do bible studies with them. we just finished reading the story of Joseph and his Brothers in the book of Genesis and boy did they loooooove this story! i was even able to have a discussion with them about how Joseph pre-figures Jesus Christ and the crazy thing is that THEY UNDERSTAND!!!!
one of them was really enjoying our study that when he went home, he continued to read the story ahead of us and HE READ THE ENTIRE BOOK OF GENESIS AND STARTED READING EXODUS ON HIS OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i have to say is, WOW! that must be the work of the Holy Spirit within him! not only is he half way through EXODUS, but he UNDERSTANDS EVERYTHING HE'S READING!!!!!! i am so amazed because i, myself didn't really understand much of the Old Testament until i was 25 years old!
what's even funnier is that he thought i would be upset with him because he went ahead of me and the rest of the class! of course i'm not mad at him, i encouraged him to continue reading as much as he wants.
i am feel very blessed that God is using me to help children get to know him more in a personal way. i am so thankful that he is using me to inspire these children to find joy in reading and understanding His Word. i love my job!

Fight FOCA: Sign the Petition Against It
With a single stroke of the pen, the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) would wipe
away virtually every state law on abortion nationwide, allowing
abortion-on-demand in all nine months of pregnancy for any reason and without
any restrictions .
Twenty Senators (including Sen. Barack Obama) and 109 U.S. Representatives have
co-sponsored this "Freedom of Choice Act." The stated aim of this legislation is
to "end the abortion wars."
To these legislators, "ending the abortion wars" means allowing abortion for any
reason, at any time, without restriction or regulation. This would eradicate
state and federal laws that the majority of Americans support, such as:
Bans on Partial Birth Abortion;
Requirements that women be given information about the risks of getting an
abortion;
Only licensed physicians can perform abortions;
Parents must be informed and give consent to their minor daughter's abortion.
FOCA would erase these laws and prevent states from enacting similar protective
measures in the future.
Americans United for Life (AUL), a pro-life law and policy organization, has
prepared an analysis of the "Freedom of Choice Act." Please click here to read
AUL Vice President & Legal Director Denise Burke's analysis of this horrendous
legislation.
A key first step in fighting FOCA is to raise awareness and garner attention to
what FOCA says and does.
Please add your name to the FOCA petition, and let your friends know about
Barack Obama's promise to expand abortion throughout the country.

| it's almost 2am and i just spent the last 30minutes crying like a big baby... but not out of sadness, rather, i just felt so overwhelmed by God's love and presence in my life, and i couldn't really take it... because this feeling of pure joy is soooooooo strong.... i had to cry in order to release it all. i'm not sure why yet, but these past few weeks, i feel as if God is remii nding me about how he brought me out of the darkness and into His light. all these memories of facilitating in the past and how i have followed Him faithfully are re-surfacing. He reminded me today that FAITH is the evidence of things not seen. this is so true. back then, He gave me the grace to just have faith in Him and in His Will for me. another reason why i feel so overwhelmed is that i always ask myself, "who am I, Lord, that You would do all this for me?" just goes to show me that His love is more powerful than my own imperfections, weaknesses, and sinfulness. He also reminded me: "Serve Me. Follow Me. Set a good example." ok Lord, we will go. SINGLES ENCOUNTER #20... here we come!
