In November,  we would like to focus on emotions and the role they play in shaping our lives.  Emotions  can crop up and ruin relationship and opportunties, There is a new article titled "I have essesive self?" Self doubt, self confidence or lack there of? . From experience I can tell you that emonitional control and balance is a tough  thing to handle. We hope you benefit from the information.

We have  a new staff member. Here is a little about her in her own words.
Angelina Bong is my name.

I’m a Malaysian born into a beautiful catholic Christian family in Sarawak, which is also known as the land of the headhunters. Since young, family members and teachers have sown seeds of the gospel into my heart; teaching me how to pray and to make Jesus my friend.
           I grew up with my mother, aunt and sister in my grandaunt’s house who stayed with us then. There were difficult moments growing up but God never failed to provide. My family has always been there for me and the sacrifices that they made to keep us going are exemplary witnesses of God’s love to me.
           An uncle of mine whom is like a father to me is someone who has taught me a lot about faith. It is not so much what he preaches to me but his very life of humility, generosity and loving, gentle spirit speaks volumes of the Christ in him. I used to tag along to his prayer meetings or healing seminars. This ministry of healing and deliverance that God has called him to start has not only exposed me to manifestation of God’s power through healing, miracles, deliverances and conversion but also sparked my love for God.
           As years passed and I moved away from home, I was lured away by worldly pleasures. Sadly, my spiritual life took a downfall and although I went to church, my relationship with God was almost non-existent and my life was definitely not pleasing to Him.
           It took many heartbreaks and a sickness to make me realize that I have been offending God. That was my major turning point in life, where God picked me up and helped me to rise again. Ever since then, I cling to Him and He, being my beloved Shepherd has never failed to guide me.
           I have loved writing and books since young but I have never truly written in public. After going through that darkness in life, I started to write online and slowly, I find words very fascinating to play with and started writing poems. I realized my true passion in writing when I was selected to represent Malaysia in the third Delphic Games in 2009. Since then, I have never stopped writing. I finally decided to start a blog middle of 2010, to have a place to put all my poems but most of all, to express myself for God, who has been so gracious and kind to me.

At the moment, I am serving in the music ministry of St. Thomas More parish. I am currently still looking for a job and although the future might seem unclear at the moment; one thing is for sure, there is nothing to fear for He is holding me by my hand and I will spend the rest of my life writing for the glory of Him and to speak of the blessings He has poured on me.

Angelinas’ first contribution will appear in this months offering.

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this than to lay down ones`s life for his friends. (John. 15:12-13)
