(I was shocked at learning this)

Yeahhh I'm with the Catholics on this one.
I read the Golden Compass book 3 years ago.......... I've never read the other books of the series, now I'm glad I didn't, how horrible for this film to be released during Christmas time, eh? Sounds like it's purposely been planned that way. Expressing anti-God & anti-Christian views on a Christmas season.

I don't plan on seeing this film anymore, I hope that all Christians and Catholics wouldn't either. I encourage my friends don't as well. I wouldn't want to support this person in anyway. This man speaks utter blasphemy. Another worker of iniquity. :[

apart from that.... ;~; God answered prayer for my birthday last Wednesday. I mean... I had asked God that He'd do something for me that day, but to be honest I didn't expect it! x_X 'cause I didn't want to get my hopes up..since in the past I've always been brought down to disappointment. But this time... for the first time since 4 years I had a SURPRISE birthday from friends. :] Although... this is what gets me:

So in the morning I got ready for school. I wanted to make a "dollar ribbon" but I knew I needed a ribbon first to indicate that... "HEY, IT'Z MAH BDAY LOLZ" when ppl see it....... as I was looking around in my room, I randomly got the idea from God to "look up" LOL and sure enough, there was a red ribbon on the top of my shelf. (yeah I was surprised by that..totally random)
I arrived at school and it was a TAKS testing make-up day for me... before school started I managed to gain $2 from friends. :]
After I was done taking the Math Taks, I went to my 6th period class. There was only like 10min left til the next class, and when it ended I went on my way to my 7th period class. In the hallway, I'm thankful I had suddenly remembered to go up to the front office to get an excuse note with the doctor's note I had (it was for Monday) ... God totally put that thought in my mind. @.@ As I went on my way to the front office, I came passing by the counseling offices and Mrs. Garcia, the secretary waved at me to come in. She got up from her seat and pulled out a gift bag and told me happy birthday and said, "didn't you remember I had told you to come in here on your birthday??" I told her I completely forgot until she reminded me. I was so thankful, I told her, and then went on my way back to class after stopping by the front office to get that excuse note.
Now back to the dollar ribbon... LOL let's just conclude that with.. I ended up with $9 at the end of the day. xD

After school was over, I checked my phone and my Aunt had sent me a text msg saying she couldn't pick me up early (right after school was over) because my little cousin was sick, (poor thing) We had made plans to go to Good Will (I wanted to look for a hippie outfit for halloween xD) So yeah, I was pretty disappointed, but I text her back agreeing for her to pick me up at 5:30pm (instead of 4:15, after school) I was going to let her know I was upset, but I didn't, I prayed right then saying, "Okay God, I'm not going to show her I'm upset. I'm just going to trust in You, because You tend to come through for me all the time..maybe this weekend I'll somehow make it to Good Will."

Okay now here's the thing. Wednesdays we always have band sectionals (rehearsal with the other trombones) I was totally going to skip sectionals and not even let my section leader Chanel know I wouldn't attend. (that would have happened if my Aunt picked me up early from School) But now I had to go to it, so I headed for the band hall and got my instrument ready.

We ended up having sectionals outside on the marching field. We practiced for about 20 minutes. Then Chanel called everyone to gather around, and I was left there wondering what was going on. (I didn't notice what she was doing until...) I went up to Chanel, and when she threw her arm around me I thought to myself, "OHHH I GET IT" and she said, "Everyone....today is Ayla's birthday!" LOL I was entirely shocked. XD I didn't see that coming at all. Apparently she bought like 5 boxes of cookies and got me this DVD of some comedy with Robinhood? /shot

If my Aunt had come at my school like the original time we planned (4:15), Chanel's birthday-surprise plans would have been ruined. Praise the Lord, right? :]

It doesn't stop there.

My Aunt picked me up from school, and she drove me over to Youthfire (church service, mainly for teens) When I got there, I knew in my heart I needed to let Pastor Jacob and Pastor Warren know my scan results. (I had gotten a recent P.E.T. scan 2 weeks ago and found out my results last Monday)
I went into the youthfire offices with a friend, and found Pastor Warren in the hallway. I told him what I wanted to talk to them about, and with a loud shout, he "summoned" Jacob out of the meeting he was in and into the hallway. (shot) ...then they prayed over me. They prayed for my healing, and Pastor Warren also prayed that God would "give me words to speak" at the Bible study the next day at school. (I was planning to preach a sermon on faith. The 3rd time I've preached in front of people) .. I was real glad they prayed for me.

The next day, at the Bible study, Rachel (one of the leaders of the group) didn't know Megan (other leader) had planned for me to speak. (Megan wasn't there) I felt sort of troubled that day... and received thoughts of doubt... but after we (everyone) prayed together as a group, I told Rachel I would speak.
It went PERFECT. God... He really did speak through me. All I needed were the verses I'd talk about, and I knew God would take care of the rest.
I talked about Matthew 14, using the story of Peter getting out of the boat and walking on the water to Jesus. The Lord must have been holding out His hand when He told Peter to "Come," after Peter asked, "Lord, if it's you..tell me to come to you on the water."
The boat is pretty much our comfort zone. If you want to do God's will and follow Him, believe me, He'll call you out of your comfort zone. Get out of that boat, because He's holding out His hand. Don't look at the winds and the waves, the problems of your situation, don't doubt, because if you do you'll find yourself sinking! Peter did, but he cried out, "Lord, save me!" And the Scripture tells us Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," He said, "why did you doubt?"

We tend to doubt a lot ourselves... we tend to have that little faith. I told them at the Bible study, "You know, once you find yourself walking on that water... you find it's pretty fun! I mean, it's COOL to be walking on water." It's no longer scary, since you know God is your helper, why should any of us be afraid?

.................
Likewise for me... my scan results.
The doctor told me, since these past 7 months, according to the results, the disease in my neck has increased a little. Everything else is stable. Is it good, bad, neutral? I don't know. It's neither. It's not good, but it's not bad.

I'm not afraid of death. What is, death, anyway? Death... the true death is eternal separation from God. What is pain? Pain is... you haven't had pain until you've both physically and spiritually...died.



Right now... I just want to fulfill the duties God's given me.
I've been doing a pretty sloppy job these past couple days.. but this storm will soon come to pass.

Yeah, while the whole world is in chaos, I really don't want to be.
I just want people to believe in God with me.
If people would stop worrying for me and just believe in God for me... I'm all the more confident of this victory. But even if they don't, in the end my Father is in control.

....This saint is coming Home victorious in Christ. I know His love... I know Him. I just want to be with Him. He'll help me, He's always have, all my hopes are set in the Lord.
