Samantha's Introspections

My name is Samantha and I am a young Homeschool lady that is very
> passionate about the Lord, and also passionate about staying pure of
> heart, mind and body for my future husband and ultimately, for Jesus
> Christ my bridegroom!
>
> About four months ago, upon reading the book "Do Hard Things" by
> nineteen-year-old Homeschoolers, Alex and Brett Harris, I felt God telling
> me to do something in saving unborn children and stopping abortion in our
> country, and wondered how I could make a difference...a BIG difference.
> Sure, I knew there was pregnancy resource centers already established and
> things like that, but I wanted to do something deeper, something
> more...but I wasn't quite sure what or how.
>
> Then I heard in Dr. Dobson's book Bringing up Girls of this dance.  But it
> wasn't just any dance; it was called a Father/Daughter Dance, or
> Father/Daughter Ball started by a Christian couple in Colorado Springs.

> That's when I had the idea, "What if we cut the issue of abortion at its
> roots? What if we organized a Father/Daughter Purity Ball here in
> Missouri, that would encourage young ladies to save their hearts and
> bodies for their future husband, and at the same time exhorting the
> fathers to protect their daughters from the lies of the world?"  Because
> you see, when more families, when more young ladies give their hearts
> fully to the Lord, then there is less bad choices, which results in less
> babies being aborted! I am very excited about this event!
>
> The event is on Saturday, March 22nd, 2014 @ the Abundant Life Baptist
> Church in Lee's Summit.
>
> The Father/Daughter Purity Ball is a non-for-profit event; all the
> proceeds go toward Rachel House and to helping adopt a little orphan
> child.
>
> This event is going to be not so much focused on physical purity, as it is
> spiritual purity.  It's for that reason that we will have a speaker come
> and share the Gospel at this event, because we want girls (& Dads) to know
> how they can truly be pure!  And that's only by the blood of Jesus Christ
> washing over their sins when they trust Him to save them.

Interesting Facts about Malaysia

https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/my.html

Here are some details about Malaysia I found on CIA website.

"During the late 18th and 19th centuries, Great Britain established colonies and protectorates in the area of current Malaysia; these were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. In 1948, the British-ruled territories on the Malay Peninsula except Singapore formed the Federation of Malaya, which became independent in 1957. Malaysia was formed in 1963 when the former British colonies of Singapore, as well as Sabah and Sarawak on the northern coast of Borneo, joined the Federation. The first several years of the country's independence were marred by a communist insurgency, Indonesian confrontation with Malaysia, Philippine claims to Sabah, and Singapore's withdrawal in 1965. During the 22-year term of Prime Minister MAHATHIR bin Mohamad (1981-2003), Malaysia was successful in diversifying its economy from dependence on exports of raw materials to the development of manufacturing, services, and tourism. Prime Minister Mohamed NAJIB bin Abdul Razak (in office since April 2009) has continued these pro-business policies and has introduced some civil reforms."
 
If you are from Malaysia, what is it like to live there?  What is the weather like?  The people like?  What do you do for fun?

Shout out to You, Peoples around the World.

Hello people of Malaysia.

How are you today?  I see that many of you are viewing my blog, and I want to especially welcome you here.

Are you looking forward to a great new year in 2014?  You might already be celebrating... We celebrate tonite as we have about 16 hours before we ring in the new year.

Yes, we are glad that 2013 is almost  done...and ringing in the New Year of 2014.  But you know why we love new things?  I think that this is born in us.  Our biggest excitement should be that we can know God, thru his Son Jesus Christ.  When we repent (turn) of our sins, and look to Jesus to save us from our sin, we can become a new CREATION.

We can be new in Christ Jesus.  He will take away all of our old and yucky, smelly sin...worse than the smelliest garbage or backed up sewer mess, or a million times worse than an open dump that reeks of all the refuse of a 100,000 peoples.  Maybe you live in a place such as this.  Maybe you have visited a place such as this, and couldn't wait to get out of the filth and stench that hung on you like old rags.

He takes our filth upon us, and then, thanks be to God, HE gives us a beautiful, whiter than snow, brilliantly clean fresh white, glowing robe of Righteousness...to cover us and make us clean.

However, we must repent and believe.

2 Corinthians Ch. 5  17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 

And when we become new in Him, guess what?  No longer do we have to fear death, and the sometimes terrible destruction of this life.  We will be going to Heaven when we die, when we repent and believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God.

So, Let this news bring joy to your heart.  Search Christ in 2014.  He will not let you down.  Even if this seems strange, some lady in the United States asking you, telling you, begging you to search out Jesus.  This IS a life or death moment for you.

Your friend and pardner,
Holly
