Wisdom from above

Words of wisdom from my parents... It was so nice to spend the day just reading through the emails they sent me since I arrived in Victoria until today; and seeing how God has worked in my family and my life.

It will a pretty long post, but I do believe you will be encouraged in as much as I did. I see my parents as having a lot of wisdom from God. I always find their advice encouraging. I'm really thankful to God for my parents.

Miss you a lot. Not one minute goes by without me thinking of you! Guess I miss you more than I expected! Tot I'd be strong. So strange to see your room empty! Now that you are away there seems to be so much things I want to tell you! Trust that our relationship will be better from now onwards! Take care and will chat with you when sam chats with you. Love Ya.
-------------------------------------------------------
Am praying for you everyday! Praying that the fear of God will rest upon you so you will do that which is pleasing to Him!
---------------------------------------------------
We pray for you everyday. Trust all is going well though we cannot expect it to be smooth all the way! There are always challenges that come our way to stretch our faith and obedience to God. Most important is acknowledge our weakness and need of HIM.Keep ourselves pure and blameless always.
----------------------------------------------
Am glad to hear you are well, enjoying uni, making new friends and exploring and learning and exposing to so many new things around you! As I've said to you, make the best of your time in Canada!

Our secret place and time is the MOST (I cannot stress it more) IMPORTANT Of all our activities! Without that whatever we do is useless! No relationship with God, our life is meaningless. Glad to hear you are really making the most of your time there! Am proud of you!
------------------------------------------
Hi Girl,
He has shown Himself faithful in providing and showing you the church to go to, godly friends and so much favor upon you!! For that I am so so grateful! See what a marvelous, wonderful, great and awesome God we have!

Remember that rebellion and unholiness blocks His blessings from being poured out upon you! Always the right thing to do is to obey HIM all the time! Guess this is a process we have to go through until we see Him face to face! As I said this to you, it is also a reminder to me as well to keep my faith and walk with HIM!
---------------------------------
Am really grateful to God when reading your mail about your time with your cg leader. God is good and faithful. To Him be all glory and honor!!! Remember to ask God to help you remain faithful to HIM in your devotion and prayer life!! The devil is never happy when our communication channel with God is open! he will do all he can to discourage or put hindrances upon your path. So be watchful and stand firm. Be accountable to your cg leader all the time. Remember God loves you no matter what happens! As always am praying for you everyday!

Remember that God desires a worshiper who will worship HIM in spirit and in truth. One who is humble and teachable. At the end of the day, what counts is not intelligence, wealth, status but CHARACTER and ATTITUDE. Always have a great ATTITUDE towards everything!!!

Dear Chelle,
Good to know that you are actively involved in reaching out. It will be good to have all these activities photographed. Photos always paint a thousand words. Thats why we gave you the camera... he ...he... Who knows. One day you will use these photos in your ministry.
--------------------------
Am really thankful to God for the wonderful work He has begun in your life and the amazing experiences He is leading you through! Glad you are experiencing His presence and blessings as you obey Him and submit your life to HIM!! His Word in Deut 28 promises us His blessings if we obey Him but curses if we Disobey and turn away from HIM. He has asked us to CHOOSE Life instead of Death!!!

From your email I can feel your excitement and joy of all that you are doing in Victoria! As I've shared with you before you left, there's so much for you to experience and enjoy! And this is exactly what is happening to you! There's more to come.
---------------------------------------------------
It is really heart warming to read what you have written. From this I have seen how much you have 'grown' both mentally and spiritually! And I give God All the Glory and Honor!

This few months, I see how you have soared with God. I believe it is possible also because YOU were obedient and willing to allow HIM to do this great and awesome work in your life!
------------------------------------------------------
You have grown so much spiritually as well!! By leaps and bounds!!
I sensed God [...] and confirming to me that Canada is where He wants you to be and that I need to trust HIM and let go. I sense immediately HIS peace upon me and knew in my spirit that He was going to do something great!! I now see HIS beautiful plan unfolding before my very eyes!! And it never fails to amaze me everytime I hear what HE is doing in your life!! My prayer has more than been answered for me! He has given me more than I ever asked for!!!! He is trully GREAT, AWESOME.

It really brings joy beyond explanation to my heart when I read of all that you are experiencing and learning and I am humbled to see the humility in you to accept the pruning and rebuking of the LORD!! It is only because HE loves us that He prunes and rebukes us!! Yes our pruning will never be over until we see HIM face to face! Treasure all these precious lessons that GOD is teaching you in your heart and constantly reflect on His goodness and faithfulness!
----------------------------------------------------------
Read your blog. Really proud of you & sam - as daughters & sisters. Am glad that Sam looks up to you for everything.
Love Daddy
---------------------------------
Am glad you had a great time of praying and fellowshipping with your friends! Guess this group of friends are different cos they are sent by GOD to nurture you, encourage you and pray with you to build and prepare you for the work that GOD has in store for you in the future.GOD knows you need such angels to be around you so you wont stray and backslide from HIM! This is also my prayer that GOD will protect you and send you godly friends to love and guide you!
-------------------------------
I fully agree with you that GOD HIMSELF placed you in UVIC and arranged for all the friends you now enjoy!!! Nothing happens by chance!

Keep loving God and allow HIM to prune, change, refine and train you to be the woman of GOD whom HE has ordained you to be b4 the foundation of the world! And you will cont to enjoy all HIS abundant blessings!
--------------------------------
Nothing can stop the plan of GOD. It will always come to pass. The only thing that can stop it is WE ourselves!!Meaning we do not obey HIM when He calls us! He gave us the gift of CHOICE. He will not force us. That is the greatness of GOD. He treats us with such great respect!!!

Though we may be unfaithful most of the time, HE is forever faithful!!! So like Mary, I kept on praying and trusting GOD. Giving our lives fully to HIM is the best thing we can ever do! As HIS Word says, he who looses his life for God and the gospel shall find it!

Nothing can thwart the plan of GOD. As you can see how HIS plan is unfolding before your eyes! Keep close to HIM and soak in all that HE is teaching and training you in this journey with HIM. You got to stay close to HIM at all times. In bad times and in good times, stand firm in HIS promises! Read HIS Word and pray unceasingly! Build up your devotional and prayer life. For this is the foundation of a strong relationship with HIM!
--------------------------------------------
Here's a big2 hug from daddy and me. Blessed and happy birthday again!!
Love and miss you lots, mummy
---------------------------------------------
As I've said, your countenance is different. What your friends have done for you is how GOD is showing you how much HE loves you and cares for you and that you are fearfully and wonderfully made and you are the apple of HIS eye! Seeing you happy brings much joy to my heart for I know that GOD is taking care of you and there's nothing for me to fear or to be worried about!

Yes you deserve the best! All of us deserve the best cos we are all children of GOD!
-----------------------------------------

Truly God's answer to my prayers for sending godly people along your path who will inspire you to love HIM and grow in HIM! Indeed nothing can stop the plans of GOD!

You know I cant thank God enough whenever I think of you and how you have chosen to walk this path with GOD when I compare you with other friend's children who have allowed themselves to be sucked into the world (ie going for all the worldly entertainment and life style) and here you are sipping tea, walking in the park, journaling with you friends and praying and reading the bible!! I know that this would not be possible if it wasn't for GOD's grace and also for your love for GOD and your obedience to HIM!!
