never holding your past to others...

Isaiah 43:18-19

18 “Remember not the former things,

nor consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I am doing a new thing;

now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness

and rivers in the desert.

Never holding your past to others?

What it does mean???

If you hold your past and became obsesses of your past and bring it up, TOTALLY DANGEROUS! know why??

let me tell you....


if you have same cycle and don't let it go... your brain will be fry up and become mentally illness, happened to my family of genetics... i don't want it happen to me AT ALL! i had been see my friends to hold their pasts and obsesses and bring it up to us and cause to fight, betray, hate, and etc to cause friendship and trust to be lost...

right??

it happened to me several times, can wreck my life, my marriage, my family, my church and my friends... can affect them to hate me and sick of me in the same cycle.. Jesus don't do that.. he forget and move on and talking about himself and God... he don't bring it up about the past and throw on their faces.. that  IS NOT his job to like this.. his job is SHOWING LOVE! we have to show the love to others, but keep going, not giving up... i know it is hard.. :0)

Tolerant..

Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? (NLT) (Romans 2:4)

No one ever wants to be told they are living in sin. Nor do people want to feel condemned. It's a fine line on how to handle sin in others' lives. We can choose to follow God's leading in the same way He has treated us, that is, with patience and kindness. The greatest influence we can have on other peoples' sin is through leading by a humble example.

My beautiful kids!

what is it like to be DEAF?

hello! :0) i wanna share the video to ya all, it is from DefFamila. it is good video and made me realized that we need to educate hearing world, not make to equal or impeach them out of our world and make angry at them. if they did crictizate us, we need to educate, not insulting them or fight them.. we need to telling them about our feelings.. they don't know what is it like be DEAF like us, our deaf life are more difficult than hearing do but it isn't.. hearing people don't know what is it about deaf and we keep it to ourselves..we need to open our mouth and telling them about how was our feeling about us.  lets watching this video. 

here is my vlog, too. :0)

different verison of deaf and hearing people

just wanna vlog about verison of deaf and hearing people. it is funny one that i was analyzing by myself, heh!

Stinking Attitude...

it is about my experince to be impacted by today with verse Phil 2:3. " dont be selfish, dont try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves." and my good friends and my husband has been encouraged me in postivite way.. im thankful for that..  so here is the video! :0)

 

Have the Attitude of Christ

Philippians 2:1-11

1 Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,

Or Being in the form of God.

he did not think of equality with God

as something to cling to.

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges

Greek he emptied himself; he took the humble position of a slave

Or the form of a slave.

and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,#

Some English translations put this phrase in verse 8.

8 he humbled himself in obedience to God

and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

and gave him the name above all other names,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,

to the glory of God the Father.

    wow! i need to think about others, not focus on myself as selfish. it stings my heart about not thinking about others if they need help. sometime, I'm tired of heard others' complain. but i didn't humble by God. it impacts me now, God had been heard us complain or upset or crying or yelling or etc like that, but God didn't complain and wont listen to me or others..

   two weeks ago,  i did yelling at God about why i married my husband for?!?! showed me the sign! i did give my stinking attitude to God and not VERY humble, but God DID answered my question. know why? God told my husband to walk towards me and hugged me. i was like, oh... God you are actually listening to me? i can felt that God laughs and said that is okay.. i know you are angry at me but i still love you and want to showed you why i wanted you to marry him for. i had perfect plan for you and your hubby. i was like, WELP! i need to be humble and praying instead of yelling as selfish.. God didn't selfish by himself, he was willing to sent HIS son on the earth for sacrifice! if God don't sent his son on the earth, it is selfish.. he wants everyone to know about Jesus Christ... that is good attitude and unselfish and humble.. when Jesus was on the earth, he never tired of people who complains on him. he was willing to listen and showed the love.. it is grace/truth! i realized today that i was selfish on my husband and my friends, too.. i admit that I'm tired of heard complain but i have to learn to be humble and listen... it is my comfort to not listening complain or something like that.. god is good to me as ALWAYS! :0) now, I'm changing the way and willing to listen to others.  that is my share to telling! :0)

heavy heart....

today, i feel so heavy in my heart to see anyone who goes cheating on others' back with other person. it is so wrongful to do this.. it could be damage your marriage and your relationship with friends. trust me, it will HAPPENS! i had been there before.. i almost lost my husband and my good friend in 2 years ago. i decided to repented for my life to the Lord.. it is hard but it is WORTH it! also, i already rededicated to my life to the Lord last November 4th, 2012... God is so good and I'm so thankful for my church family has been praying for me since i had to go thru hard time.. i had been praying for my good friend and my hubby who i betrayed on. i realized alot about it... I'm so thankful that God impacted me HUGE time in 2 years ago... i know it wasn't me as Beckley Diann Long. now I'm Beckley Diann Long and improved mother and friend to my family and friends, too. I'm sticking with Matthew 19:26, "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." and Philippians 4:13, "i can do all the things who strengthens me through Jesus Christ." God's plans never been mistaken, always perfect. of course, we are not perfect because of we are SINNERS! I'm glad that God sent his son on the earth and died on the cross and paid off for our sins that he
deceived. i just want to say this out of my heart... i do regret what i did wrong in my past but i don't regret that i repented! :0)


James 4:4

 1 What is causing the quarrels and fights among you? Don’t they come from the evil desires at war within you? 2 You want what you don’t have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can’t get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don’t have what you want because you don’t ask God for it. 3 And even when you ask, you don’t get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
4 You adulterers! Don’t you realize that friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God? I say it again: If you want to be a friend of the world, you make yourself an enemy of God. 5 What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say that the spirit God has placed within us is filled with envy? 6 But he gives us even more grace to stand against such evil desires. As the Scriptures say,
“God opposes the proud
but favors the humble.”
7 So humble yourselves before God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you. Wash your hands, you sinners; purify your hearts, for your loyalty is divided between God and the world. 9 Let there be tears for what you have done. Let there be sorrow and deep grief. Let there be sadness instead of laughter, and gloom instead of joy. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up in honor.

Book of Philippians!

SO excited to learn about book of Philippians!!! my favorite verse is in there! it is Phil 4:13 ( i can do all the things through the Christ who strengthens me) it was awesome and it is part of my testimony of my kids who i birthed. let me tell you the story..

one of my good friend told me about the verse that she can do it with her children while she was in labor room. it was appealing to me while i was pregnant with my daughter, Kaitlin. So, i was in labor room and i was half nervous and half excited.. i CANT handle the pain! it was contraction! ugh.. because my midwife and nurse putted me on picotion (spelling?)/oxytion.. something like that to force my contraction to be stronger.. i was so such a baby and complained to my sweet lady, Denise.. Denise was my interpreter at the hospital. she is my pastor's wife, too! lol. she always been there for me while i had my kids. anyway, the verse was popping in my mind and said, i can do it.. but end up, i went with epidural.. sad... lol but still good thing that i had a healthy baby girl!  then i had my son, i tried to have NATURAL birth, but it isn't working.  my midwife suggested me to have epidural when i had my son, i was so upset.. but it is safe for my baby boy to born. somehow, my midwife gave me HALF epidural... i can feel almost everything. i was so thankful for that verse to strengthen me with Jesus. it was awesome birth ever i had with my two kids! i will do that again for the future if God's will provide. :0)

this book, i will learn more about Philippians, it will be match with my favorite verse that i will be more strength in my life, but i will always want to be weak to the Lord! because the Lord is so above strong than i do! God is good to me since i see so many blessing in my life since 1 years! I'm looking forward to learn about this book!

My Salvation Testimony

I wanted to sharing my testimony with you about my salvation with Jesus Christ..

I worked at Bedford Animal Hospital for 4 years... i do know about God, Jesus, Mary and several characters in the bible, BUT the Salvation, no. In 2004, i am not sure what is the exactly date my friend, Heather Keppler, who is a christian, started to work with me, i think Dec 2003 or so.. i know her thru her parents in 2000, also,  i do have other friend Brooke Marby, who is a christian, too. she got 

Heather and I

married last year! congrats to her! she is always inspire me all the way when we was working together, but it wasn't bother me this time about her sharing story. before i met Heather, Brooke did talking about Jesus and Mankind. i was like, huh? and emailed her about mankind. she explained to me about the salvation... this time, i THOUGHT i have to be perfect and VERY strict and cant do anything what i can do in my life. So, i decided to not saved this time, which i still don't understand what Saved mean to me,  BUT i thanked that Brooke is part of my life that i got know about her. if without her, i could have avoid Heather too. it is benefited for me to learn! so anyway,  Till, Heather volunteered there. she did bring her bible and prayed during lunchtime. she didn't never hiding from anyone if she is reading the bible or praying front of anyone. she know god is inside of her.. she has been show to me a lot... she isn't afraid to show! :0)  At one time, she read the bible, i DID told her to put it down and talk to me. she didn't put it away. she opened the bible and read few verses and let me talk to her about stuff, i cant remembered what i said. but she is very strong woman ever i know. she constantly read her bible and prayed and EVEN asked me to pray with her for lunchtime too!  it does been bother my heart all the times and see her does this each other day when she and i worked same day. on April 22nd, 2004, THAT day, was so amazing! in the morning, around 8 or 9am, i did walking around and thought about wanted to be saved in my heart with Jesus, because i didn't want to go to the hell and lose my family to heaven, i want to be with them in the heaven to be joyful. it was impacted at me big time, then  i saw Heather, i was so nervous and walked up to her, she looked at me with joyful. i was stuttering. lol, i told her that i need to talk to her father about how to be saved. then, she said, why did you need to talk to my father for? can i know about it? i was like, yeah.. i want to be saved. her eyes was WIDER and BIGGER and her teeth was SMILING WIDERERER! she was so JOYFUL! she said, we can do this at lunchtime? so,  i agreed. at lunchtime, heather was so motivated  she shown me two verses.. i cant remembered but i understood clear about Jesus died on the cross for me for my sins  to be paid off.. i told her how can i pray and asked  to God about saved? she explained to me. i was like oh OK. i prayed and felt so different inside, when i opened my eyes and saw her.. she said HELLO sister in Christ! we laughed so hard and hugged. Guess what happen to Heather? she ZOOMED to the phone and called her mom about me! her mom's name is Denise Wyble. Denise was so thrilled and let her husband, John know about me. that moment, John was so shocked and praised the lord. do you know why he is thrilled? because he DID pray for me to be saved in the basement this morning of April 22nd! God's plans was on us to be his perfect plan. God's plan always been perfect, God is VERY knowledge! that day, i NEVER forget about my salvation.

To tell you the truth, i used to be lying, backstabbing, gossip, ego, be involved with other people's business, be nosey, cussing, everything in sins that's what i know of. after i was saved.. we did lied to our pastor and his wife, John and Denise about what i done to them. i told them that i didn't feel the same like before. i can see the full truth. in high school, that time, i didn't care about myself and go for it.

so now, I'm becoming as strong christian and be in right way in my life for God. i know it will be hard for me. because God want to see me how brave I am to God! GOD is so good!

John 3:16 For God so greatly loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes on Him (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish but have eternal (everlasting) life.

John 14:6 "Jesus told him, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me."

I Peter 3:18 "Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit."

Romans 10: 9-10 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your hear that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your hear that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved."

John 1:12 "But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God."

if you don't know how to say in the prayer. you can pray:,

"Dear God, I know that my sin has separated me from you. Thank you for Jesus Christ died in my place. I ask Jesus to forgive my sin and to come into my life. Please begin to direct my life. Thank you for giving me eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen."

once you pray and done accept him in your heart, BAM! you will feel different and know what is the right and wrong way. don't just pray and become saved then go in sin world and knew u are saved anyway.. NO NO NO.... you have to do it by your heart to be purpose for the Lord. God can see your heart if you are saved or not. 

i do still have battles in my life and my marriage since i got saved, because i am not perfect on the earth. no one is perfect, only Jesus is. 

thanks for reading this!
