1-2 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Romans 12: 1 - 2 (The Message)

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”- Isaiah 7:14

Placing my life before God, and be a virgin. Pure in thoughts, pure in heart.
That's my definition of virgin. The world may said that a virgin, a person who has never had sexual intercourse, but that signify the pure body of what a person can offer to God.
It's hard, but can do it. Because we do have God.

Personally, I am being inspired by a lady. She is super straight type. Well, maybe she doesn't know how make decisions, management and planning, but at least she is sensitive and work on God's instructions. That was the best part of her. Because she is simple and straight, whenever she heard God's instruction, she will do it, though she struggles most of the time.

Thank God for her. (:

Galatians 2: 11 to 20 (NKJV)
Paul confronted Peter, for Peter is being in charge of God's ministry to Jews and led others to believe.
I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews, why do you[b] compel Gentiles to live as Jews? Galations 2: 14b.
Paul was telling Peter that, there should not be diffference between Gentiles and Jews, though Jews are circumcised when Gentiles are not. Though so, Jews are like Gentiles, for they are circumcised by the faith in Christ, not by the works of the Laws. For the works of the Laws and judgements, bring death upon one's flesh.

BUT! BUT! BUT!
Why is it Peter?
Why not others?

Peter is the main in charge of the ministry of the Jews. As what we can see, Peter didn't correct what James has done, thus leading the others to wrong actions.
This leads me to some thoughts, and explain a bit more about why some of us still dun have spiritual children.
Are our lives actually align with God?
Well, I am not, I do have negative and violent thoughts. God is moulding me through Gkids. Tolerance, patient and control of my anger. Other parts of my life, like time management, priorities in life and most importantly, serving the poor, which is like everyone of us should be doing it, but not overdo it. (:
I sitll remember the others, telling me, "dun worry, God will provide you with children."
I am certainly assured by that! :D
And are you assured by someone who dunno how to take care of kids? :D

Well, sometimes I do felt like feeling proud if I got spiritual children when I am still like 20 to 23 yrs old, and got a few kids, because I do have something that I am younger, while others have only they are older! XD
But that is certainly something God did warned me, and Justin sent me this verse:
"Do you have a special talent? Are you better than someone else is at schoolwork? Or in sports?:)
Are you espcially attractive? You shouldn't try to deny your talents and abilities, but don't take the credits for then, either. Look at yourself realistically and thank God for making you just as you are. When you are given compliment, accept then graciously then pass them along- to Him. :)
What do you have that GOd hasn't given you?" 1 Corinthians 4:7."
This is the sweet ending that Justin gave, " Remember bro:, your talents are from God:)."
And that is very true, what we do have is Christ. And the characteristics that He build us up, it belongs to Him. We dun have anything because, our flesh has been died by judgement, during our salvations!
I thank God that, my brother came last week, and he is coming this week. Whether is he receiving Christ or not, I will leave it to God, because after all, it is Him who decides, and I will just walk through together with my brothers and my elder bro, with the family and with God. (:
Thank God who stopped the rain when I was walking home, from NUH.
Praise God. (:
