Today i watched Pippin, the dog i found a month ago leave with his new found family. He was such a great dog and it saddened me to see him go. He was my little gift from God, and although I'm sad he is gone, i know God has a plan, and he will be loved in his new home with his new family :) PTL. -Audrey

I had this assignment where i was supposed to write a set of song lyrics based on the theme of "One" or "First". I prayed to God that he'd give me the inspiration and use this assignment to glorify him. And in the end i wrote about God being the One who is able to calm the storm in my heart. All the while, when my classmates asked me what i wrote about, i lied (sorry God) that i hadn't finished it because i was ashamed to say that I wrote about God being the One who will comfort me in times of trouble. And a wonderful thing happened to me today. My lecturer asked us to choose random numbers and my name was picked out first to read my lyrics. So i had to read it in front of the entire class. I was nervous but i prayed to God to give me peace and he calmed my heart. And i read my lyrics to the class. After the whole thing i realized that God was trying to teach me an important lesson..indeed it was for God's glory. PTL. -Jet

Mark 8:38:

38Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

I was supposed to go to the shooting range with a friend before she left for Korea. When I was getting ready to leave, I locked my keys in my car. had to wait about 40 minutes before my brother showed up with a spare key. PTL because I have a brother that loves me enough to drive 40 minutes to deliver a key to his kid brother. Plus, I saved money by not going to the shooting range. I had a blast at the dollar theater with everyone instead. PTL FO SHO! -Marlo

I was reading the parable in my Bible readings in John about Jesus giving the blind man sight, and how the Pharisees just could not believe that Jesus was for real. They also did not believe He was the Messiah. Jesus said that they could not believe because they are not part of his chosen people: "You don't believe because you're not my sheep." John 10:25. I'm so glad I am! PTL. -Audrey

Today, I had a grueling day at the dentist's and unfortunately I have to return in about 2 weeks to continue an unpleasant procedure. But I really thank God because at least I still have teeth (unlike those scary dreams where all my teeth fall out, yikes!) PTL!-Andrea

Today, Mitch turns 14. He celebrated with a movie and pizza with his best friend. God really does sustain our lives and our friendships. PTL. -Jacquie

I have a little girl who looks up to me and always say "pray." At first I would tell her, "we did already" but now when she says it to me, we both pray for different people in our lives. It's amazing how the Lord uses a little girl to teach her mother that prayer should always happen during the day. Oh how I love my little girl. PTL. - Geneyem

My house is a ginormous mess right now, which means I have a motherload of cleaning to get done. My siblings are out today and busy with work and other things they need to do. I'll be cleaning up the pig sty by myself. However, PTL because I have a house and PTL for cleaning because it trains me for when I'm a wifey one day (God-willing) and I have my own house. Gotta do things with a joyful heart at all times, no matter what! PTL! -RJ

Today, I finished reading the book The Practice of the Presence of God. And he re-ignited my passion for Him and taught me many new things. PTL. -Jet

PTL for family. I don't think I say that enough. -Heidi

I wanted to take 18 units, but I'm pretty sure that God made it so that the maximum for freshmen is 15 units for a reason. Not only do I have a whole lot of ambitions that I want to pursue and make time for, but He totally knew that I'm probably not ready to handle 18 just yet. PTL! -RJ

I just had weekend training for a program that I am staffing. I've been struggling with the whole program... but despite the struggles, God has shown me the blessings and the good that can be found in the program, and the very real, positive things that can come from it. PTL ^_^b -Marlo!

This weekend, I'm moving out of my Irvine apartment and back home to San Diego. Although I'm pretty sad to leave, I am thankful that God has provided me with this place for 3 great years and I look forward to the opportunity to be a light with my family at home. PTL. -Melody

I've been struggling a bit financially with buying school books, car payments, paying for gas, dance classes, tuition fees etc. But today at work my managers gave me an evaluation and they decided to give me a raise as well. God has THE perfect timing, always. PTL. -Heidi

We needed to buy things for baby #2 but didn't want to spend too much since hubby has been working only part time. Praise God for craigslist.com where we found the things we needed at a very very good price and when we picked it up they looked new. PTL. - Geneyem

Today, I got in a conflict with a friend. I think he thinks I'm a jerk now. We were arguing over the problem of evil. I hope he's alright. PTL for giving us convictions and being able to stand for the truth. -Andrew.

Michael Jackson made some great music in his lifetime. PTL. -Michael

I spent the last three days with my non-Christian nephew, Jordan, which made me realize the different life I have now with Christ. Looking at my nephew (who is my age) also made me want to evangelize, which was very good, but I just didn't know how I was going to approach him. I also got to go to Six Flags with him, which was fun. I'm happy because I was safe at Six Flags and because God reminded me once again about his grace and how the Holy Spirit works in us. PTL. -EJ

Today, God spared me from layoffs at work. We were one of the only studios in Tinseltown to have held off on layoffs 'til now. God is so merciful and gracious to me. I don't deserve it. None of us here knows what shall happen next, but whatever transpires, praise God I can rest in His steadfast love and faithfulness, and on His promise that all things work together for good (Romans 8:28). PTL. -Helen

God really rebuked my lack of patience and stubbornness. I have been getting into minor disagreements with people lately, mostly because of pride or miscommunication. Thankfully, the conflicts were resolved by openly discussing the situation, prayer and reflection. PTL for communication, patience and forgiveness (Ephesians 4:26). -Melody

Today, little one and I were able to video chat with my sister in the P.I. through Skype. It was only for 16 minutes because she had to sleep and we had to eat breakfast, but it was awesome being able to talk to her and see how things are going over there...little one misses her aunt. God is so good in giving us technology that allows us to talk across the sea. PTL. -Geneyem

This is the first time in a while where I'm having trouble sleeping. I've been listening to a lot of good music today and I think that's what is making me excitable. Thank God for such soulful and soul-filling music. GAH IT'S SO GOOD. -Joshua

Sometimes it's difficult to understand how God's Word is relevant to my life. I read His Word, and I know that it is truth, but sometimes I just don't know how it applies. Thank God that His Truth is not subject to my understanding and feelings, and that the Word is applicable in all situations all the time. PTL. -Jacquie

I was reading The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from The Living Dead by Max Brooks last night until about 2AM. I had to put the book down because I was freaking myself out. I couldn't help but start imagining zombies creeping up my stairs to come attack me. Zombies are kinda cool, but praise God they aren't real or else we'd really have to read that book to be fully educated with what to do when they attack. PTL! -RJ

Today, I found myself running to that secret place once again. And though I run to Him with a broken heart & wounded spirit, I still praise the Lord because at least, I have Him to run to in the first place. PTL. -Christine

I went on vacation last week. Originally, my sister was supposed to go with us, but she couldn't get off work. While I was still excited to go, I was also totally bummed because we would have had so much fun together! Well, I was able to have plenty of alone time and do things my sister would probably not have wanted to do with me. I also got to stop and enjoy God's beauty while in the middle of the ocean, and I got to spend more time in the Word. PTL. -Noreen
