			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>God uses us in different ways. And often without us realizing it, we are His instruments to reach out to those around us. Who or how, we may ask. For Him, distance or quantity is not a concern. Jesus&#8217; hands are outstretched to the ends of the world.</p>
<p>Logan Henderson, lives on a ranch located in the middle of Nebraska, Texas. I am living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. What&#8217;s the distance? I don&#8217;t know, but yet I heard him today. So did millions of others around the world since 2007. And now, you will too.</p>

<blockquote><p style="text-align: center;">Just remember when you lose a loved one or a pet&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8230;always remember that God gave his Son too&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">that He understands&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He will always understands</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">He always will, just run to Him</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="color: #959874;">“I love it,” she told me, smiled, laughed, then said, “It makes me feel like a woman. It makes me feel that all the things about my body are suddenly there for a reason. It makes you feel round and supple, and to have a little life inside you is amazing.&#8221;</span></span></span></p>
<p>i am simply inspired *heart* angie couldn’t have described it any more or any less beautiful than this. i got all warm and fuzzy earlier when I read this, and it still does, now that i am recalling it all here <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>God’s gift of life is truly amazing, beyond words. and to know that one day – in His time – I, too may honour this gift, leaves me all together fearful and excited. it is without a doubt and true in so many ways, that nothing completes a woman – or a marriage – without first having the joy of unwrapping His gift of life *smitten*</p>
<p>of course, i also don&#8217;t mind this as well <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="color: #959874;">“Also,” she continued, dropping her voice, leaning in, “I’m fortunate. I think some women have a different experience depending on their partner. I think that affects it. I happen to be with somebody who finds pregnancy very sexy. So that makes me feel very sexy.”</span><span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>besides the hype that was flooding our nation before mar8, on the other side of the world, six persons compete the votes of their nation to be the next president of the united states. just like everyone in that nation (and around the world), i too have been bitten by their presidential bug *ouch*</p>
<p>since watching the video by will.i.am &#8211; <a href="http://www.hopeactchange.com/">YES, WE CAN</a> &#8211; i&#8217;ve been diligently reading barack&#8217;s speeches whenever i can at work, and watching youtube about his campaign at home. his call for hope and change is without a doubt inspiring. all the way back to this end of the world, barack hussein obama has also won my vote &#8211; yes, he can!</p>
<p>in my own innocent (naive?) way, i choose to believe his words and his possibility of change. when november comes, we will know what america decides. i agree that a decade and half of bushes and clinton is enough. so until then, i wish senator obama all the very best! <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>here are some of my favourite excerpts from his speeches. the beautiful thing about the issues that he addresses is, that they apply to each and everyone of us who hopes for a better tomorrow *cheers* more to come as i go along~ </p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/02/13/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_50.php">Janesville, WI | February 13, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We will have to learn more, and study more, and work harder. We&#8217;ll be called upon to take part in shared sacrifice and shared prosperity. And we&#8217;ll have to remind ourselves that we rise and fall as one nation.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/02/12/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_48.php">Madison, WI | February 12, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to stand up and reach for what&#8217;s possible, because together, people who love their country can change it.</p>
<p>No dream is beyond our grasp if we reach for it, and fight for it, and work for it.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/02/09/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_47.php">Richmond, VA | February 09, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">There is nothing we cannot do if the people decide it is time.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/02/07/rebuilding_trust_with_new_orle.php">New Orleans, LA | February 07, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">We need to stop talking about how great our teachers are; we need to reward them for their greatness with more pay and more support.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/02/05/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_46.php">Chicago, IL | February 05, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.barackobama.com/2008/01/28/remarks_for_senator_barack_oba.php">Washington, DC | January 28, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">That each of us can make a difference and all of us ought to try. That no frontier is beyond our reach when we&#8217;re united, and not divided.</span></p>
<p><a href="http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post_group/ObamaHQ/CGTN">Nashua, NH | January 8, 2008</a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can.</span></p>
<p>here&#8217;s another 2 thumbs up to will.i.am for his latest video on obama &#8211; WE ARE THE ONES &#8211; enjoy! <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>this sunday will mark the end of chinese new year. and down goes february as well. the year is passing by fairly fast, which means soon i would be moving house and later busy preparing for the big day <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>it is already five days into lent now &#8211; and thirty-five days more to go. this lent i&#8217;ve decided to sacrifice the dumb box *boo hoo hoo* so i would be missing my final episodes of sonria pasta, heroes, american idol, grey&#8217;s anatomy, desperate housewives, etceteras etceteras. besides this earthly vice, i&#8217;m also offering up my awful quick temper, impatience and witty sarcasms. so far i know i&#8217;ve done poorly. that&#8217;s why it is so much more important to pray more than anything during this difficult time of lent.</p>
<p>here are two very inspiring verses from the book of ephesians that called out to me last thursday.<br />
<span style="font-style:italic;"><br />
&#8220;get rid of all bitterness, passion and anger. no more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. instead, be kind and tender hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ&#8221;</span><br />
Ephesians 4:31-32</p>
<p><span style="font-style:italic;">&#8220;at all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one&#8221;</span><br />
Ephesians 6:16</p>
<p>the second verse is such a comforting good news. so let&#8217;s have faith and pray. may the Lord God protect us all during this lenten season and shower us with His grace to overcome all temptations to sin against Him. amen <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i want to immortalise this. although i can&#8217;t really recall the exact words. i want to try my best to record what happened this morning for my own sake.</p>
<p>it was 06:14 on my night clock when i first opened my eyes, and instinctively i made a beeline to the loo as i always do. i wonder if it is the total privacy we get within these four walls that inspirations are often sparked. but then i was half asleep, so i could&#8217;ve been dreaming instead&#8230;</p>
<p>in the quietness and stillness of dawn, i heard myself repeated these words silently. over and over again.</p>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">&#8220;whatever i&#8217;ve asked, He has never failed to provide. and so i have faith that He will see me through this time&#8221;</span></p>
<p>as i tried to fall back to sleep, these words hummed in my head. it gave me a sense of peace and assurance that He loves me. He didn&#8217;t forget. He didn&#8217;t abandon. He will provide, in His time. my only fear was&#8230; &#8220;when is it Your time Father?&#8221;</p>
<p>now that i&#8217;m fully awake, my conscious mind tries to digest these words. why was it even there? i put too much sense in them that i choke its very meaning and corrupt its purity. so let&#8217;s just smile and have faith that heaven is looking down on me. everything will be okay.</p>
<p>thank you my Little Flower for this reminder. yes, we don&#8217;t need to know about all of life&#8217;s little questions. just know that He loves us <img src='http://mellomouse.benjac.us/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
