You are a B.A.B.E (got it from Gtalker)

Ever feel insecure, unworthy or unappreciated? If your are a believer in Christ, then know that you are a "babe!" Wink

Here’s a scriptural definition of what it means to be a real B.A.B.E.: beautiful, accepted, blessed, and eternally significant. Check it out.

B is for BEAUTIFUL!

You are a divine diva! You are fearfully and wonderfully made — created by God Himself! You are a work-of-art and were not haphazardly thrown together! You were in God’s care before you were even born! You were His idea! God thinks you are outrageously gorgeous! God sends His Spirit to live within you to make you beautiful on the inside. You have God-Beauty!

A is for ACCEPTED!

You are unconditionally loved and accepted by God! You have already won His approval! He is your audience of One! He stands to applaud you because He is proud of you! You belong to God! You are forgiven. You do not need to seek acceptance of others — you are number one with God. He thinks you rock! Ultimately, what God thinks is all that matters!

B is for BLESSED!

You are the privileged recipient of so many blessings straight from the heart of God! You have blessings that no one can take away from you. You have special abilities — tons of talents! As a child of God you are showered with spiritual blessings like salvation, forgiveness, eternal life, the Holy Spirit, and grace! You have freely been given spiritual gifts like leadership or encouragement or service! You are so blessed!

E is for ETERNALLY SIGNIFICANT!

You are here on purpose and for a purpose! God has a plan for your life! A plan that will bring you true meaning, fulfillment, and satisfaction! A plan that will use your special abilities and your spiritual gifts. A plan that will make a difference in the lives of others and in the Kingdom of God. It’s an eternally significant plan! You matter! Girlfriend, you are a B.A.B.E.!™

not on valentines day.....Feb 15'08 after valentines :-)

L-Ey and I don't usually celebrate valentines day since we became bf and gf. It's not also a time of giving gifts for us. I don't know what comes to my mind that on that day I want to have something special... maybe because of my stress in work, not to mention that I don't feel good that day due to some health problems - Canker sore! He greeted me thru IM and the excerpt was:

Quotes from Paolo Coelho....

I'm posting some of my favorites quotes from my favorite author... :-) got it from a certain website.

• "you can only truly fall in love with one person. and the others? well, they just make your heart beat. you'll get to meet a lot of people but there's only one to whom you'll fully give your heart. sure, you'll get attracted to many. but what you'll have are just feelings. whether you play around or not, there will only be one person for you in the end. it can be hard finding that person and even harder to feel that emotion. but i've been told, it can happen.."
• “Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.”
• “When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny".
• “I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first time we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings...”
• “We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”
• “Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”
• “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
• “Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.”
• “You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.”
• “Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time.”
• “The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived.”
• “The wise are wise only because they love. The fool are fools only because they think they can understand love.”
• “one is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
• “Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart”
• “Love is a trap. When it appears, we see only its light, not its shadows.”
  
• “Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere.”
• “You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.”
• “You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.”
• “But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.”
• “We have to stop and be humble enough to understand that there is something called mystery.”
• “I think that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we wind up attracting even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we're alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange.”
• “Every blessing ignored becomes a curse”
• “The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people's opinions.”
• "You start living for the obsession alone ... You want to arrive somewhere regardless of whether you're enjoying the road or not.”
• “Life was always a matter of waiting for the right moment to act.”
• “If you start by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work towards, getting it.”
• “No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone's eyes.”
  
• “When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream.”
• “I still pray but it's something automatic, and I'm not even sure I still believe in it... Because I've suffered, and God didn't listen to my prayers. because many times in my life I have tried to love with all my heart, and my love has wound up being”
• “A warrior of light who trusts too much in his intelligence will end up underestimating the power of his opponent.”
• “We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, G-d gives us the sun-and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that...”
• “Beauty is the greatest seducer of man”
• “There's a lot of me in it. But the character is more egotistical. I'm also egotistical, but not the way the character is. This guy is successful, he has everything, but his wife has left him. The most important value - love - is missing. What is wrong with this institution called 'marriage'? What is wrong with this institution called 'the pursuit of happiness'?”
  
• “We still did not answer the questions that are important to us,”
• “I think it is a problem of our society that we don't enjoy (ourselves.) We have these values, like, you have to be rich, you have to get a diploma, you have to work hard, otherwise you are useless, you are nothing but a pariah. And the book asks, 'Is it true? This is what my mom told me, but is it true?”
  
• “Tonight his eyes were shining-he looked wonderful.”
• “They were seeking out the treasure of their destiny, without actually wanting to live out their destiny.”
  
• “He seemed to be talking about my fears, my insecurity, and my unwillingness to see what was wonderful because tomorrow it might disappear and I might suffer. The gods throw the dice, and they don't ask whether we want to be in the game or not.”
• “The biggest mistake of the man is that he thinks he doesn't deserve the good and the bad things from his life.”
• “The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy. To realize one's Personal Legend is a person's only real obligation. All things are one. And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
• "Why do we have to listen to our hearts?" "Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure."
