My studying is going great!!!! I'm so confident that  I will pass all my exams.  I started my day off right by going to church!  The service was great and touching.  I'm definitely going back next week! Study hard ya'll you can do it!!!!

First Day of Studying

My first day of studying did not go as planned.  My original plan was to wake up at 5:30 am to wash my clothes and then start studying at 10 am but I overslept.  When I woke up my brother was already washing his clothes so I had to wait until he was finished.  So my day didn't go as planned but I won't let that stop me from studying hard.  I have CIS, Spanish and Theology exams on Monday.  Good luck on your exams people.

Recently, crime has been attacking our taxi drivers.  Due to this, many taxi drivers are afraid of working in the night time or even to pick up strange looking persons.  I'm not mad with them for doing this because in this day and age a man has to protect his own life.  This shocking story that aired yesterday, 12th May, brought goosebumps all over my body.  Belize is getting worst and worst..Let us pray for our country, Belize!!!!!

 

Stand up for whats right!!!

I know many times in life it seems as if doing the right things will harm us but they won't.  When we do right, God is pleased and that's the only person that we need to please.  Stand up for what is right regardless of the situation.  You may not  get a  reward on earth but  you will surely get it in heaven where life is sweeter that honey!!!  Live, Love, Laugh........and ALWAYS do what's RIGHT!! God bless guys.  Have a blesses night!

The Mango Menace!!!!

April and May are the best of times. In the old days, those who had mature bearing trees had it best - though they did face the occasional nuisance of school children trying to raid their trees.
But in 2011, the family that owns one venerable tree says the raiders have gone from a nuisance to a menace. And so, even though they have a special grafted tree that's in full flower, they're thinking of cutting it down, because the raiders have threatened them, for their own tree! It's a crazy situation and Monica Bodden found out more today:.;
Monica Bodden Reporting
Many Belizeans enjoy the taste of mangoes around this time of the year. Whether it is ripe, green, or just in between, it's still a real treat - But for the Gabb family - mangoes have become synonymous with misery.
The problem isn't their mangoes on their 4 mango trees. Instead it is with those who are stealing them.
Michelle Gabb, Home Owner
"We haven't gotten a rest, it's like every day people keep coming in stealing the mangoes throwing stones at the house. If we tell them to come out of the yard they would pick up stones and throw it at us or tell us curse words, so we are coming to a conclusion of cutting down the trees."
The problem has gotten so bad that the family is even being threatened by these mango thieves. One such incident occurred on Sunday - when their home was stoned.
Michelle Gabb, Home Owner
"The electricity even went off after they throw stones at the house. The stones keep on coming. I was on the phone talking to the police, I just put down my phone because i couldn't take it anymore because the stones were slamming and slamming then when we went into the refrigerator we notice that it wasn't on, the fan and everything went off because the breaker went off. Then even tell my grandmother that they will come to shoot up the house they said to her 'you old B, you will dead and left the mangoes here ' the young lady says that she is going to bring her boyfriend to shoot up this house, just for the mangoes."
It has gotten to the point where the family says they are contemplating cutting down their 4 mango trees - trees that have been at the Gabb residence -for over 50 years.
Michelle Gabb, Home Owner
"I don't really want it because this tree at the front right here is very educational to me and to everybody because this is an engrafted mango tree that produces two different types of mangoes; the blue mango and the apple mango. I have never seen another tree like this and when the tourist comes to the church the tourists would show them the mango and show them how the tree is engrafted with the blue mangoes to the bottom and the apple mangoes to the top. We have four different types of mango. This tree has on two; the apple mango and the black mango. The second tree brings the thunder shaw mangoes and the tree in the back gives us the white mangoes so I don't know, maybe the public could do something to help us to keep the people form the yard or something."
Monica Bodden
"This happens every day?"
Michelle Gabb, Home Owner
"Every day."

Imagine you are being threatened for your own mango tree .  Belize is becoming more dangerous everyday and soon people will be afraid to even walk the streets.  Let's come together to make Belize a better community where all citizens work for what they have instead of stealing from other people. Let's pray for God's blessing upon our nation so that we can be a better Belize!! 

Pakistan PM Says Osama Assassination Is “Justice Done”

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan’s prime minister said Monday that Osama bin Laden’s death in an American raid was “indeed justice done” and insisted the relationship with the U.S. was still strong. But he warned Washington that future unilateral strikes could be met with “full force.”
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani also expressed confidence in Pakistan’s military and Inter-Services Intelligence agency, which have been heavily criticized for failing to confront the U.S. Navy SEALs who conducted last week’s helicopter raid without notifying Pakistan first.
The operation took place May 2 in Abbottabad, an army town only two and a half hour’s drive outside the capital. The location of bin Laden’s hide-out has sparked suspicion that Pakistani officials knew where the al-Qaida leader was hiding and may have been helping him.
Gilani adamantly rejected those allegations, saying, “It is disingenuous for anyone to blame Pakistan or state institutions of Pakistan, including the ISI and the armed forces, for being in cahoots with al-Qaida.”
“Allegations of complicity or incompetence are absurd. Pakistan is not the birthplace of al-Qaida,” said Gilani in a speech to parliament. “We did not invite Osama bin Laden to Pakistan or even to Afghanistan.”
Gilani agreed that the failure to find bin Laden, who was reportedly living in Abbottabad for up to six years, was a mistake. But he insisted it wasn’t Pakistan’s alone.
“Yes, there has been an intelligence failure,” said Gilani. “It is not only ours but of all the intelligence agencies of the world.”
He said that the army will conduct an inquiry into the raid and military officials will brief parliament later in May.
The Pakistani military scrambled F-16 fighters and sent forces to bin Laden’s compound as soon as they were aware of the raid, said Gilani. Even though they were unable to interdict U.S. forces before they were on their way back to Afghanistan, he expressed confidence in their performance.
“Our response demonstrates that our armed forces reacted, as was expected of them,” said Gilani.
He warned the U.S. against launching future such attacks, saying “unilateralism runs the inherent risk of serious consequences.”
“Pakistan reserves the right to retaliate with full force,” said Gilani. “No one should underestimate the resolve and capability of our nation and armed forces to defend our sacred homeland.”
But he insisted that relations with the U.S. remain strong and the two countries have worked well together during this period of crisis.
“Our communications at the official and diplomatic levels with the U.S., during this phase, have been good, productive and straight forward,” said Gilani.
He also praised the result of the raid.
“Osama bin Laden was the most wanted terrorist and enemy number one of the civilized world,” said Gilani. “Elimination of Osama bin Laden, who launched waves after waves of terrorists attacks against innocent 
attacks against innocent Pakistanis, is indeed justice done.”

Annual Business Mixer

The annual business mixer was held last Thursday, the 5th of May.  It was very interesting and we got the chance to meet with representatives from : Belize Telemedia Limited, Unicomer Belize, Grace Kennedy Belize Limited, Brodies, Belize Unit Trust and some other businesses.  This event was sponsored by Belize Telemedia Limited.  At the end of the mixer, prizes were given away by Grace Kennedy and BTL.  Then we were given light refreshments that were very delicious.  This event allowed us to meet with these businesses and inquire as much as possible about the business place.

Words of Wisdom!!

Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."~Matthew 7:7-8

 The bible says that no matter what you need, God can provide.  I have learned to apply this memory verse to my daily life and you should do the same.  God is mighty and all powerful...through Christ all things are possible.!!! 

The Power of Prayer!!!!!

Many people don't know how powerful prayer is...!!! When we ask God for something and truly believe that this is a good thing and trust in God...He will surely bless you with what you are praying for....Pray hard, Trust Hard...and Have FAITH!!!! The bible says that faith can move mountains...Even if a person has faith as small as a mustard seed!!!
  God is MIGHTY and can make the impossible possible!!!God is a good God...YES HE IS!!!!!

"There is power in faith to not only overcome the temptations of the world but power to climb our own personal mountains, mountains so high and so steep as to seem to be impossible. But, Jesus tells us all things are possible "with God." (Matt. 19:26 NKJV) "


" Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.  Proverbs 3:5-6"

Thank YOU Lord...

Thank You for the Cross Lord, Thank you for the price You Paid..Bearing all my sin and shame in love You came.........and gave Amazing Grace!!!! Let's be thankful for ALL that God has done for us...Hope the easter holiday is going great!!!☼

☼God has A purpose for YOU...yes YOU!!!!!!☼

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. "
-Jeremiah 29:11

Never feel as if you have no purpose in this world. Trust in God always..He knows what He's doing!!!!
REMEMBER: "When you're down to nothing, God is up to something!!!"

``What the Bible has to say about Communication``` :-)

"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God"
 -1 peter 4:11

So communicate without obscenity,sarcasm, or  being judgmental!......When we communicate inappropriately, many times we don't allow room for effective communication.  Be Imitators of Christ and reap the abundance of riches in Heaven....☼

NO......Sex before marriage.....

"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. "

Hebrews 13:4

Therefore, resist sex before marriage..it will give you a better chance of staying pure from sexually transmitted disease and unwanted pregnancies...God blesses those who are married.... AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give your life to Christ!!!!!!!

"What if some were unfaithful? Will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness?  Not at all!"
- Romans 3:3-4

"Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever♥♥♥" - Hebrews 13:8

No matter the circumstance in life, always remember that God will never leave or forsake you.  Give your life to Him and you will suffer no longer.....

Do Not Be Judgemental!!!

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. "
Matthew 7:1-5

To help others,  as an individual you must first identify your flaws and weaknesses........
 and REMEMBER:No one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes!!!

Say NO to Abortion!!!!

Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy  by the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus, resulting in or caused by its death.... If God blesses You with a child be thankful for that because there are some women out there who cannot have children.  So don't make abortion one of your alternatives......If you are not ready for a child then abstain from sex until marriage or you are sure you are mature enough to handle the situation!!!!

Earthquake in Japan shifted balance of the earth!!!!

Last week's devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan has actually moved the island closer to the United States and shifted the planet's axis. The quake caused a rift 15 miles below the sea floor that stretched 186 miles long and 93 miles wide, according to the AP. The areas closest to the epicenter of the quake jumped a full 13 feet closer to the United States, geophysicist Ross Stein at the United States Geological Survey told The New York Times.

The 9.0 magnitude quake (the fourth-largest recorded since 1900) was caused when the Pacific tectonic plate dove under the North American plate, which shifted Eastern Japan towards North America by about 13 feet (see NASA's before and after photos at right). The quake also shifted the earth's axis by 6.5 inches, shortened the day by 1.6 microseconds, and sank Japan downward by about two feet. As Japan's eastern coastline sunk, the tsunami's waves rolled in.
Why did the quake shorten the day?  The earth's mass shifted towards the center, spurring the planet to spin a bit faster. Last year's massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile also shortened the day, but by an even smaller fraction of a second. The 2004 Sumatra quake knocked a whopping 6.8 micro-seconds off the day.
After the country's 1995 earthquake, Japan placed high-tech sensors around the country to observe even the slightest movements, which is why scientists are able to calculate the quake's impact down to the inch. "This is overwhelmingly the best-recorded great earthquake ever," Lucy Jones, chief scientist for the Multi-Hazards project at the U.S. Geological Survey, told The Los Angeles Times.
The tsunami's waves necessitated life-saving evacuations as far away as Chile. Fisherman off the coast of Mexico reported a banner fishing day Friday, and speculated that the tsunami knocked sealife in their direction.

Leroy Brown, Student, Muslim Community Primary School

“I want to be like my father.  My father was a policeman at Jamaica and he left and he come to Belize here.”

Isani Cayetano

“What is your relationship like with your father?  It would seem as though you look up to him a great deal.  Talk to us about your relationship here at home with your dad.”

Leroy Brown

“It is very good because my father always tells me ‘Learn to dance ah yard before you go abroad’.  That means learn your respect at home before you go out in the street do bad.”

…and that’s the mantra young Leroy has learned to live by.  Unlike many of us he has had to grow up in an environment where earning respect has taken him a long way.  At home Leroy is faced with the difficulty of not always having his basic needs.  He has had to enroll in a feeding program organized by Restore Belize to make it through school.

This young boy struggles everyday coming from a poor family but he hasn't lost hope in life. He's intelligent and wants a better life so he's studying hard, staying in school, and while being humble and very respectable.. Many of the younger kids could learn something from Leroy. He's an example to many others!!

♥♥A woman is priceless......♥♥

☼♫♪A woman has amazing strength. She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens: She smiles when she feels like screaming. She sings when she feels like crying. She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid. Her love is unconditional.There's only one thing wrong with her.... She forgets what she's worth!!!☼♫♪

 Ladies ..never devalue yourselves......Never....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You are priceless, fearfully and wonderfully made...!!

Trip to Chetumal
