I was just thinking about that this morning. God is a winner. God said we are more than conqueror. Romans (Romans 8:35-39) said: ‘who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? … In all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future nor any powers, nether height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord’. God is able and He will do it for you One song that ministered to me all the time is God is the pillar that holds our lives. It goes like this You’re the pillar that holds my life 2X Master Jesus you’re the pillar that holds my life. 2X I will say to myself Christine if Jesus is the pillar in your life then nothing can go wrong. Our God is a winner no matter where your life is today. Just knows that God has won your battle for you. Let’s praise Him I love you all and thanks for all the support and prayers for the magazine. It is our time to shine.[/b] Christine Ighedosa Fri, 17 Apr 2009 21:00:43 +0100 http://www.tresu.net/index.php?option=com_joobb&view=topic&topic=4&Itemid=#p4 [b]As a christian, what does it mean to love God or how does one learn to love God? What if don't know if you love him as much as you fear him? You love your friends, your neighbor and your spouse as you grow closer. How do you know God loves you? His word says he loves us and he gave his son and we receive his gift of salvation, but how do we fully receive his love if we don't feel his love toward us at times?

Christine Ighedosa Fri, 20 Mar 2009 18:10:23 +0100 http://www.tresu.net/index.php?option=com_joobb&view=topic&topic=2&Itemid=#p2 Ladies, instead of trying to fix your flawed but lovable husband, why not start by looking in the mirror? These 10 steps will help you re-energize your marriage and renew your appreciation for the former Mr. Perfect. 1) Take care of yourself Turns out that the best thing you can do for your husband is also good for you. Eat healthy foods, maintain good grooming, and exercise regularly. You'll look and feel better, and you'll continue to be the vibrant and attractive woman he fell in love with, no matter your age. 2) Say thank you, often When researchers ask men what they want from their wives, appreciation always makes the list. Everyone likes to be appreciated, so remember to notice the things your husband does—for you, for the kids, for the house—and thank him. You'll put a smile on his face and a little joy in his heart. 3) Keep the romance alive When was the last time you planned a romantic interlude with your husband? If you can't remember, you're way overdue. Be affectionate, write love notes, give him a backrub, plan a date, and initiate sexual play. Remind him that you still find him attractive. 4) Let him have 'guy time' Everyone needs time for themselves—to relax, enjoy a hobby, or socialize with friends. If your husband loves football and you don't, don’t bug him about it. Encourage him to cultivate friendships with other men. He'll enjoy the companionship. Studies show that people with friends tend to live longer, healthier lives. 5) Make your husband a priority With the everyday stresses of work, home, and kids, it's easy to take your husband for granted. Make time for the two of you to reconnect on a regular basis. Take an interest in his work and hobbies. Let him know he's important to you. 6) Don't try to change him Are you outgoing, but your husband is shy? Do you like a clean house, but he leaves towels on the floor? Behavioral experts say you can't change others, you can only change yourself and how you react—so look for ways other than nagging to handle these situations. Compromise on social activities by making them shorter, or go by yourself. Place a laundry basket in the bathroom. And when he attends a party or puts dirty towels in their proper place, thank him. Positive reinforcement beats nagging every time. 7) Don’t make him guess—tell him what you want It's easy to assume that the person who lives with you every day also knows you well enough to know what you want. Not true. Most of us view the world through our own needs and desires, so don't be surprised if your husband thinks that what you want is what he would want. If you want something specific—advice, a hug, or a red sweater for your birthday—let him know. 8) Cultivate friends and interests outside your marriage Once you’re married, it's easy to shrink your social network to revolve around your husband. But no one person can meet all your needs, and it’s too much to expect your husband to be your partner, your lover, AND your best girlfriend. Make time for friendships outside your marriage. You'll have more fun and bring new energy to your relationship. 9) Let free time be free Just as you need time to relax and unwind, so does your husband. He may not define it the way you do, though; while your idea of relaxing after work may be talking over a glass of wine, he may enjoy being quiet for awhile, reading the newspaper, or watching TV. Find a compromise so both your needs are met. And give him time to recharge by not over-scheduling weekends with home projects and shopping. 10) Believe in your husband, and let him know it Men can display a lot of bravado, but like us they sometimes struggle with low self-confidence and feelings of failure. And because men approach the world as competitors, they sometimes end up feeling like losers. When he comes home, your husband needs to know that the person he values most in the world believes in him—especially when he doesn't believe in himself.
