no matter how far!

God really works in ways that we dont understand,last night we found out that our dear friend's father just passed away a day after our saviour was born, so we come up with a quick plan to set up memorial service for him,too sad she couldn't be there physically to see his father and to be with the rest of her family, but we praised GOD for his unfailing love, it was around 3:30 at springhills baptist church together with Pastor Jeff Pound, who has been a missionary in the philippines for quite awhile and can speak the language fluently,We thank GOD above all for orchestrating everything,providing our dear friends with what she really needs this time of her life, a comforting joy,a calming peace that comes from GOD alone.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

As I survey the political scene of America, I continue to get the sense that people are tired of harsh and divisive politics in America. The tone of our continuing political dialogue is more about yelling and less about discussing and listening. People seem occupied with seeing who can stand the firmest and shout the loudest.
The tone of political discussion in America has a certain flow to it. It's been this way since our founding. We are at a point in history where the tone of our dialogue has hit a harsh and negative flow. Such a time calls for a leader with the right touch. Mike Huckabee has the right touch!
I fear that many are willing to exchange a politician who has firm resolve for a wishy washy person who will leave us feeling good, but also will leave our nation in disorder in the end.
Mike Huckabee has the right touch for America. Mike Huckabee is firm in his views and beliefs, but he is not divisive. Anyone could see this from his reply during the debate when they asked him about his religious beliefs.
Some Democrats talk about not using faith to divide America. Mike Huckabee is an actual politician who has not used his faith to divide us. Mike knows where he stands, but he gives you freedom to stand where you choose.

This is the kind of leader we need in America now.
Vote Mike Huckabee in 2008.

holiday means to me

What The Holidays Mean to You

For you, the holidays are about generosity. You give as much as you possibly can to friends, family, and charity. You celebrate the holidays in a natural style. Homemade gifts are your favorite, and you can't stand imitation Christmas trees or wreaths During the holidays, you feel happily busy. There's so much do to and not a lot of time to do it. But you enjoy every minute of your holiday chores. You think the holidays should be nostalgic and sweet. The holidays bring out your inner child. Your favorite holiday memories strongly evoke your senses. You are vividly aware of all the tastes, smells, and sounds of the holidays.

What Do the Holidays Mean to You?

a long fun day..

Yesterday was a real good day, we actually woke up late but then decided to take a walk together since the weather outside was real nice, we took a walk to the farm and just praising GOD for the beauty of his creation.went back home and decided to visit the family since the cousins are there to spend thier holidays with our family.We decided to play "RISK" (just click the link if your curious what the game is) since im new to this game, have to observe first and know how to play it an hubby said, im gonna be his "roller", we got a lot of luck since i am the one who roll the dice ( i tell yah it was alot of fun), since im good at it, jacobs brother ask if i could roll the dice for him but hubby jokingly told him "you should get a wife then! " we started the game around 1:30 and finish it around 5:30 pretty long huh but not boring, its fun to fight,conquer and capture some territories from other players.

and the result? we aimed for 1st place but we ended up 2nd place.

not to shabby at all.

truly blessed

It was a surprise visit to the reznik's, good thing they are kind enough to let me in..(whaaa..drama pa daw c michelle ah), but i was very thankful to Jenny and the kids, for giving me some of their time to bond with me, we ate at molly's and im quite delighted the way the food tasted, (thanks Jenny for introducing that restaurant) and hubby got to joined us.

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top. You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

tradition continues...

"our ornament this year"

It has been a tradition at the brooks family to have ornaments every year, since hubby was born and turned 1 year old, he had an ornament already, so as his siblings, so every year they got to pick an ornament which mom always prepare, now that Jacob is married mom got us a penguin sitting on a ring,as you can see...

Jacob's first ornament as of 12-25-1981

its a fun way to make memories in christmas, surely this tradition will be in our family too

Lets101 Quizzes - Fun Quizzes

i actually snagged this one from jenny's page, im kind curious about my star sign.

GOD revealed himself to us..

Yesterday was a spectacular day even if it started with just a little bit crotchetiness,
i woke up expecting to have the whole day with pure fun with hubby, but end up being cranky because of his relaxation time, i mean his relaxation time is playing football with his brother that turns out a 2 and half hour session, then when he called me saying im done, ill be home in a minute, My response is,
yeah, you should be done now, it took you 2 and half hours, i timed you Mr. Brooks!

But, still came home happy giving me a smile that just take my crankiness away..whew, and now we have to plan our day together, we actually agreed that maybe we could go christmas shopping for the family, but just before we left the house he ruined my shopping mood already, simply by telling me, i dont wanna do something today, im not in a shopping mood, but then he take it back by simply saying, but ill be your driver, we went to get some gift cards from texas road house and eat some burito at chipotle and got some giftcards too for our g-pa & g-ma its the time of the year that they got to try something new.

We rushed to shop something for the birthday girl jessica at kohls, but have to call jenny for the size, its a funny convos with jenny, hearing myself say something funny..hahaha, but thanks that my mouth slips that time, coz im actually in a bad mood already, since i saw hubby sitting in the corner, imagine in the floor near the wall, and i said, stand up, your embarassing,
and he said,
i told you im not in a shopping mood im tired ( usually he likes to shop thats why i was pissed off)i understand though..he worked very hard but still...arrgggh..

so i told him to wait for me in the car and he did,but im feeling sorry for what i did to him and so i end up my shopping thing. on our way to the parking lot, an old lady ask jacob to help her loading her vacuum cleaner on the trunk and so hubby said YES with a smile, so i smile and said, im blessed to have husband like that...
inside the car,no one said a word, until he told me he lost his wedding band...and im like what? oh oh noooo...but he was hoping its in the house, but, i told him i actually ask you before we leave the house if you have your wedding band with you and you said yeah right? but were still hoping its in the house.

As soon as we arrived the house, we keep on looking but we cant find it, so we called kohls and ask them to lool for the wedding band, but still we wanna make sure, so after we called we went there again, on our way there, hubby joked around and said, "we really like kohls hah" we've been here twice today, (laughing is a good remedy)

We tried our very best to search it at parking lot, we dont get a luck, we were thinking maybe its on the lady's trunk, so we headed to the costumers service at kohls to tell them that we called a while ago for the lost wedding band, and tell them about helping one of the costumer here who bought a hover vacuum cleaner around 4pm, hoping if its her trunk she might call kohls and look for us. still got no luck,

On our way home, hubby said, no one will know that i lost my wedding band ok, even the family, then i said ok, we went home feeling bad, hubby said we have to go mom and dad's for us to decorate the 12 feet tall christmas tree, they have a tradition in their family, each of them has their own ornaments from the time that they were 1 year old, so each year they have one ornament, hubby is 26 already so he has 26 ornaments and mom got us two penguins sitting in a wedding band ( pic's later ) kinda cool huh! just lost a wedding band, but the family doen'st even know about it..so we had fun, despite losing the wedding band..huhuhuhu, we came home around 10:30 and went to bed around 10:40,just before going to bed its our thing together to pray before GOD,
hubby's prayer went something like this!( as far as i can remember),
we thank you for a very good family that im a part of and now michelle can be a part of it, and thank you for a very good wife, help us to be aware ( prayer continues, cant remember it all ) and GOD help us to find the wedding band, whoever got the wedding band, we hoped and pray that they are honest and trustworthy people AMEN,

Just a split of seconds our phone ring around 10:56pm,we dont even recognize the number we dont have it on our buddy list, but i have that thing going on in my mind, that maybe its the answer of what weve prayed for, on the other line is a lady and she said, is this jacob brooks? and hubby said yes, the lady said we just found your ring and oh my gosh i cant help myself but just shout YES thank you GOD,and we just got soo excited and take our sleepyness away. we just witnessed how powerful the GOD whom we served, hubby said, we need to PRAY, and i prayed and just tahnk GOD for the prayers that he just answered, it is really wonderful...we are in awe of his majesty..

we called kohls again to find out if they were open till midnight, we cant wait to get the ring back, we drove down there again to get the ring and hoping to get the story where did they found the ring, we went to the jewelry section and ask for the ring and ask who found it,
the lady said,
i just got it from the costumer service department, it was taped up there, so i assumed that it was yours, here's your ring

we were like, oh my gosh its purely a GOD THING..no questioned ask, but we just thank GOD for giving us back the ring...
its time to celebrate so we had milkshake and burger at steak N shake...

who said GOD doen'st answer's prayers? he answered OUR's

pretty amazing story to tell people
now we dont have to hide that we lost the ring, we want to give GOD the glory,
so we need to tell the story

christmas time is here

Its the most wonderful time of the year.
Remember the lord our GOD this time of the year

a boring day

i woke up feeling grumpy...(not good)
have to go to an Otolaryngology for them to check up my throat, its been like 4 weeks, since i had this sore in my throat, i hate it, I've been to my doctor thrice, they couldn't figure out whats wrong with my throat thats why they have set up an appoinment for me to an ENT especialist,for them to ultrasound my throat. OH NO!...somethings really wrong..huhuhuhuSo have to wake up early today, but since im feeling grumpy and i dont want to go there by myself, feeling nervous of what will be the outcome of the test, but i already set up my mind if my husband can't take me there, i will cancel my appointment, i know its ridiculous but i prefer to have him by my side, since i feel safe when his with me, but he has to go to work and we thought that he can come home early for the appointment but OH BOY, its turns out he can't take me,My inlaws offer to give me a ride, but i prefer to have my husband on my side, so, i called the office and cancelled my appointment....

awesome GOD

Please read before viewing picture - it's worth it!

A picture began circulating in November. It should be "The Picture of the Year," or perhaps, "Picture of the Decade." It won't be. In fact,unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it.

The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner.

The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel's mother, Julie Armas, is an obstetrics nurse in Atlanta . She knew of Dr. Bruner's remarkable surgical procedure. Practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, he performs these special operations while the baby is still in the womb.

During the procedure, the doctor removes the uterus via C-section and makes a small incision to operate on the baby. As Dr.Bruner completed the surgery on Samuel, the little guy reached his tiny, but fully developed hand through the incision and firmly grasped the surgeon's finger. Dr.Bruner was reported as saying that when his finger was grasped, it was the most emotional moment of his life, and that for an instant during the procedure he was just frozen, totally immobile.

The photograph captures this amazing event with perfect clarity. The editors titled the picture, "Hand of Hope." The text explaining the picture begins, "The tiny hand of 21-week- old fetus Samuel Alexander Armas emerges from the mother's u

terus to grasp the finger of Dr.. Joseph Bruner as if thanking the doctor for the gift of life." Little Samuel's mother said they "wept for days" when they saw the picture. She said, "The photo reminds us pregnancy isn't about disability or an illness, it's about a little person."Samuel was born in perfect health, the operation 100 percent successful.

Now see the actual picture, and it is awesome...incredible....and hey,pass it on. The world needs to see this one!

Don't tell me our God isn't an awesome God!!!!!
