By Joyce Suttin

I was eight years old and learning diligence through the few chores I had been given. Growing up on a sheep farm near Pleasant Hill, in upstate New York, there were always lots of responsibilities to be divided between us four children. Being the youngest, I had been used to getting what I wanted--the easiest jobs--but my oldest brother and sister were busier off the farm these days, so more responsibility fell on me. I felt very grown up whenever Dad asked me to do something new. I wanted to show how responsible I was.

It had been an especially cold spring, and lambing began in the middle of a fierce snowstorm. Dad gathered the newborns and brought the frailest ones into the kitchen, where they slept in cardboard boxes around the coal stove. Huddled in the hay, they survived their first nights. Dad would awaken early to feed them their mother's milk from baby bottles. I eagerly helped during the first days. I loved the feel of the lambs' first charcoal gray wool, soft and warm. I loved their little bleats and the way they eagerly sucked on the bottle in my hand. I loved feeling grown up and helpful.

Dad was pleased. He was learning to trust me to help, to feed the lambs without being reminded. He saw my willingness to learn and took it as a sign that I was growing out of early childhood. I was becoming a big kid instead of the baby of the family.

As the lambs got stronger and the weather became a bit milder, Dad returned them one by one to the barn to stay with their mothers. They were all doing well--all except one. This lamb's mother had died in the storm, and Dad needed to find a foster mother for her. But first, the lamb needed to be strengthened. Her weak and wobbly legs barely supported her. When he would lift her to a standing position, she would flop back down on the hay. She needed more time in the house and more bottle-feeding before she would be ready to handle the colder temperatures in the barn or be accepted by another mother.

Dad left for work at 6 am, having left instructions for me to feed the lamb before I left for school, but I had stayed up reading the night before and barely had time to pull on my clothes and run out to catch the school bus. It was around ten o'clock math class when I remembered the lamb.

After school I ran home from the bus stop to find Dad sweeping around the coal stove. He looked up and asked, "Joyce, did you remember to feed the lamb this morning?"

I hesitated before answering, hung my head, and answered, "No, Daddy. I'm sorry. I forgot."

"Well, honey," he said softly, "I am sorry too, but the lamb died."

Tears welled up as I said again, "Daddy, I am so sorry!"

He gently took my shoulders in his hands. "This lamb is gone, and sorry won't bring it back. There will be other lambs, other chances to get it right, but you know, sorry doesn't always fix it. When we neglect a responsibility, when we forget to do something important, sometimes we only have one chance. We can be sorry, but sorry won't bring the lamb back."

It was a hard lesson for an eight-year-old, and I've never forgotten the feeling. It taught me to watch out for things in life that sorry can't fix, especially things that will have an impact on others' happiness and well-being. A harsh, unloving word can never be pushed back into my mouth. A selfish, thoughtless moment can never be lived differently. A kind word that should have been said can be said later, but not in that perfect moment when it would have done the most good.

We can only live today once, and we only have one chance to get it right. We'll never be perfect, but if we continually remind ourselves of our responsibility to others and try to do the loving thing at every opportunity, we'll have fewer times when "sorry doesn't fix it."

Defining Moments

By David Brandt Berg

Although some things may seem unimportant to us, they may be very important to our happiness and success. Look at what resulted from one wrong decision in the Garden of Eden.[[Genesis 3:1-11]] One little Tower of Babel has caused worldwide confusion and division of nations ever since.[[Genesis 11:1-9]] One little deal brought death to the Savior.[[Matthew 26:14-16]]

Little things can also lead to great things. One little boat saved humankind during a worldwide flood.[[Genesis chapter 7]] One little stone brought down a giant.[[1 Samuel chapter 17]] One little manger changed the destiny of mankind,[[Luke 2:7]] and faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains.[[Matthew 17:20]]

By Nyx Martinez

My flight to Uganda was booked for the first week of April, less than two weeks away. It was late morning as I sat in my room, counting the money in my wallet.

I was trying to get from Thailand to East Africa to continue my Christian volunteer work there, and God had told me He would provide the money. But my present volunteer work didn't bring in the kind of cash I needed for plane fare to the other side of the planet.

I needed $500 for three final things: the rest of my air fare, a visa for Uganda, and a suitcase. I had already spent a good part of the day worrying about where the money for those things was going to come from.

Coffee break, I thought. Somebody tell me it wasn't completely crazy to book an airline ticket without cash in hand to pay for it.

As I made my way towards the kitchen for that coffee, a friend passed me in the hall and handed me an Activated magazine. "Need something to read on your day off?"

"Sure," I mumbled as I took the magazine from her. I skimmed its cover, and these words grabbed my attention: PUT GOD ON THE SPOT. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HE LIKES IT!

Intrigued, I walked back into my bedroom, forgetting the coffee. I flipped through the magazine until I came to "Proceed as if Possessing," and I began to read.

The article by Virginia Brandt Berg was familiar. I had read an illustrated version as a child. It told of a young woman named Etta who acted on her faith and put God to the test. Etta had believed so strongly that He would provide the travel funds she needed that she had booked a ticket and gathered her things to take even before she had a suitcase. And God had not failed her. At the last minute she was given a suitcase and money for her ticket and she was on her way, aboard God's unfailing promises.

I don't have a suitcase yet, either, I thought. This story could have been written for me! The answer to my problem was right there. "Proceed as if possessing! When you have asked God for something, take action. Act on your faith."

As I reread those words aloud, I asked myself, How should I "act out my faith"?

Pack your things and put God on the spot. The answer was that straightforward.

It was worth one more try, one more prayer. Would it work? It had to. I grabbed my journal and began to write:

Dear God, I want to proceed as if possessing. I want to have faith that You will provide, but my deadline is coming up soon and I still need a few more miracles.

1. The rest of my airfare to Uganda.

2. Money for a visa.

3. A suitcase (just like Etta needed).

Your Word promises, "According to your faith, it is done for you." I believe, so can You please give me enough money to cover those expenses? Thank You.

Done. It was as simple as sending an email to my dad, requesting extra allowance. I closed my journal, satisfied that my Father above had heard and would answer. I spent the rest of the day on travel plans and packing what I planned to take to Africa into an empty space in a cupboard.

It's been a good day, I thought as I sat down to dinner. It was about to get better.

"Something came in the mail for you today," a friend said.

I took the letter, opened it quickly, and swallowed hard. I'm sending $500. For a moment I couldn't think straight. The food in my mouth wouldn't go down.

My friends looked at me quizzically. "What is it?"

"Does God love me, or what?" I exclaimed. "He … just gave me … $500! This morning I prayed for 500 dollars--just six hours ago!" Someone in another country had heard that I needed funds to get to Africa, and they had written days earlier to say that they were giving me $500.

I was ecstatic. That night I turned the pages in my journal to that written prayer and sat in awe at how my Benefactor had provided. Grabbing my pen, I marked off all three requests:

1. The rest of my airfare to Uganda. Check!

2. Money for a visa. Check!

3. A suitcase (just like Etta needed). Check!

Was it a coincidence that I had prayed for that sum the very morning the letter arrived? Would the letter and funds have arrived anyway, had I not prayed? Or was it a case of "Before they call, I will answer"? (Isaiah 65:24).

Believe what you will, but I'm convinced that God had set things in motion days earlier because He had known I was going to put Him on the spot. In fact, I'm sure that He engineered the whole thing--that He caused me to be desperate for His help, pointed me to His unfailing promises through that Activated article, got me to "proceed as if possessing," and then came through with just what I needed (not too much and not too little), and right on time!

When my departure date came I was on a plane bound for faraway Uganda. That ticket in my hand, my prized possession, was real. And so are His promises.

Career and Relationship

The following article was sent to my mail box and I decided to share it. It was written by my friend and brother Kelvin Moses.


CAREER

Career describes an individual's journey through learning, work and other aspects of life. There are a number of ways to define a career. When we talk about career we are actually talking of been successful, living or seeing your dreams comes through and utilizing your talent. You can utilize your talent in a different way and it turns out to be a career or occupation to people out there.
It has been said that successful men marry successful women,so you should always allow your career to reflex in your relationship,and let your relationship reflex in you career too.
YOU BECOME SUCCESSFUL,THE MINUTE YOU DECIDE TO
To be successful,one thing you must know is how to MAXIMIZE OPPORTUNITY, to make good use of your time as it is said “make hay while the sun shines” because TIME IS EXPENSIVE. Spend time in doing valuable and profitable things.

“ITS ALL A MATTER OF TIME MANAGEMENT. IF IT MEANS GETTING LESS SLEEP, I'II CONTINUE TO BALANCE MY STUDIES AND WORK” -Raindolf Owusu (Ghanaian Software Developer)

We are all blessed and talented. Discover your talent and utilize it, build your dreams, don't give up, even when you fail, don't quit, take corrections and buckle up.
BREAKING BREAD WITH DESTINY.
Don't be ashamed of what people say. Some may mock you but that should stand as a motivation to you.
IF IT DIDN'T COME TO YOU DON'T ASSUME YOU DIDN'T DESERVE IT,MAYBE IT DIDN'T DESERVE YOU. Remember 'don't quit', keep trying because confidence comes from overcoming your fear of being wrong.



RELATIONSHIP

Am not going to emphasize or talk much about relationship cause I'll bring in everything about relationship/Dating/Sex,on my next articles which is entitle: SEX IN RELATIONSHIP) (S.I.R)

When we talk about relationship, we are basically talking about appreciation, trust, support, love and happiness. Some people are in a relationship while some are in a “relationSHIT”, troubles and quarrel everyday. Sometimes this is due to one's rude attitude, inadequate ability to handle or deal with situation, nagging, envy, distrust, being too critical or maybe when one is a burden to the other.
First before you go into a relationship you must create time to know each other better.
The two hardest things to say in life: 'HI' for the first time and “GOODBYE” for the last time.
No matter how eager one is for a relationship, they should not get involved if they are not ready. This way, they will avoid hurting the feelings of their partner. Every girl wants a guy to make her feel safe in his arms, to hold her tight and to remind her everyday that she is the only girl in his world. Guys have their own desires as well. So as a girl, before involving yourself in a relationship be stable, fix everything you need in yourself, and stop thinking the man will do it for you, you should have a class, standard and some principles.

However, if you've come of age for marriage, you ought to prepare yourself and mind for anything. This is because it is either you're taken to the altar or you're dumped. Be it as it may, not every relationship would lead to marriage. Nonetheless, you should not quit dating because you were dumped. Open your heart and try again. Don't use your past to criticize your next or present. But in the next relationship you ought to be careful, do something new, keep distance, give each other time to miss yourselves, close your legs, and most importantly, no regular pleasure.


REASON WHY SOME RELATIONSHIP DON'T LAST/LEAD TO MARRIAGE:

1) No love, they just lust after each other maybe due to their wealth/glamour, high desire for pleasure.

2)Constant meeting.

3) Inability to cook and/or laziness.

4)Not Active in or poor performance in bed.

5) Above all if one is a liability to the other. He must not always give or you must not always ask. Let them give at their will. Love gives, so if its true love, it would do so naturally.
