Stephen

Had learn a lot from yesterday discipleship.
Finished study of the book of Roman.

Studied chapter 6 and 7 of Acts which is about Stephen, a man full of faith. He did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. However there are opposition arose, they produced false witnesses and accused Stephen. At the end, Stephen was stoned to death. But the most interesting part is the last verse of chapter 7 saying “Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” When he had said this, he fell ASLEEP.
So, Stephen didn’t died because of the severe injuries and pain caused by stoning, but he just feel asleep without feeling any pain.

Give and You'll receive

Yay! I had gave my 10% tithe to God. I had earned my 1000usd this few month and 100usd was given to God as tithe. Thanks to Him for blessing me so much! I believe the amount I given is much more smaller than what God wanted to bless me!

In bible said, give and you will receive. So, if you want to receive more, give as God want you to give. Dont forget to pay your tithe to God. You will be given more in return! BUt of course you dont give because you want to receive more.. You give because you LOVE~

Hiatus?

What a long break of not posting anything here.. That doesnt mean that, GOD didnt favor me all this while.... He is still very faithful and loves much more than I do... even though I had done so many things which disappointed him.

He is still the same today, yesterday and forever.. Only I had became lazier to write my testimony here. Argh! Hate myself like this! Got to fuel myself up!! Spend time with GOD!!

Let me give a new testimony here...
Yesterday, was interviewing a patient. Thank GOd that I got more information from here than the day before yesterday... Because of not bringing the translation (english-russian) question, I didnt ask much on that day, so yesterday I went with the translation paper and got to get more information. hehe..THank GOD....

Got the permission for extraclass on Wednesday....Permission was easily gotten... At first we all thought that it might be quite hard but it came out differently.

Learn a lot from the business class yesterday. Praise GOd...

^_^

I found it~

Thank God... was looking for an envelope of money.... kept on praying that I could found it... and yea..! I found it today!! Thank God!

Receive this mail from a pastor of my Church here.... share it with you all!

Dear Beloved of God, WCCI Leaders!
Here are some notes on an important point that the church often
misses. I feel the Lord wants you to know about it...
Let's read,

I Cor 3:16, " Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that
the Spirit of God dwells in you?"

I Cor 6:19 amp, "Do you not know that your body is the temple - the
very sanctuary - of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you
have received as a Gift from God? .."

2 Cor 6:16, "What agreement can there be between a temple of God and
idols? For we are the temple of the living God; even as God said, I
will dwell in and with and among them, and I will be their God and
they shall be My people."

Ephesians 2:19-22 amp, "Therefore, you are no longer outsiders
excluded from the rights of citizens, but you now share citizenship
with the saints [God's own people, consecrated and set apart for
Himself], and you belong to God's own household. You are built
upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus
Himself the chief Cornerstone. In Him the whole structure is joined &
welded together harmoniously and it continues to rise & grow into a
holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and
sacred to the presence of the Lord]. In Him and in fellowship with
one another you yourselves also are being built up into this structure
with the rest, to form a fixed abode [dwelling place] of God in &
through the Spirit."

SO...?
1. When we come together in the Podfak or any other gathering place,
we are not in the house of God. You read correctly, we are not IN the
"House of God". We cannot be IN the house of God, because we actually
ARE the house of God. It is two different things. Re-read Eph above
and you'll notice that together we ARE the house of God. It goes
with Nic's teaching Saturday. We are 'being built up into this
structure...' WOW. WE are the house of God!! Say it, "I AM THE HOUSE
OF GOD! Not some building, but ME!" Many Christians have theology
based more on Old Testament rather than the New and they don't know
it. In Pre-Jesus times the Presence of God was in a room. NOW, we
are the dwelling place, the presence of God. HALLELUIA! Meditate on
these scriptures until they become a reality to you and you end up
jumping up and down in excitement for what God has done in you. [I
did!]

2a. For us to say, "Welcome to the house of God", we're saying we can
only find God's Presence in a building. By using inaccurate words,
we -accidentally- deny that God lives within each of us, saying that
He dwells in the Podfak (or whatever building we call the House of
God). I know that each of you know He dwells within you. Sometimes
we use phrases we've heard others say and we need to check them by the
Word. His Holy sanctuary [us together] is becoming more beautiful and
more glorious as we walk more in holiness and unity day by day.
THAT'S the House of God=all of us together, any day, any time, any
where and everywhere believers are!!

2b. You ask, "Ok, Pamela, what do I say to start church service?"
Remember James said we'd receive Wisdom if we ask? Let's all ask!
God is saying it's TIME for us to go WAY HIGHER in our opening
statements!! He told me that I was to tell you this one thing AND
THEN challenge you to reach much higher for vision of what the service
is all about, then set the tone for it by the opening statement! If
you need it, here are 3 starters ... Use them as a starting point to
BE MORE RADICAL FOR HIM AND SET THE TONE FOR THAT SERVICE... -oooh,
makes whoever opens responsible to have vision!!! Yea!

"Welcome to Word of Christ Church International, a part of the
Generation that is winning the World for Jesus!"

"Welcome to a gathering of sold-out, radical, lovers-of-the-Most-High
God, where Jesus Is Lord, Love Reigns, and Miracles Prevail!"

"Welcome to where a PART of the House of God is gathering. This part
is called WCCI and we're blessed by your presence!"

Remember, don't be held back if God gives you a Word that pushes
further with HIM! Ever notice when God gives correction, more vision
& revelation follows?
I Love ya all, have a blessed week with HIM!
Pamela

TRANSFORMATION

Hey Guys!

I had decided to change this technology blog into a blog which reflects God's glory, His favor, everything He had done in my life...my daily life.... to REMIND myself that
I need HIM ...
I should depend on HIM in whatever I do....
I should put HIM as my first priority...
I should commits everything to HIM...
I should PRAY whenever I met PROBLEMS...
I should give THANKS in everything....
I should LOVE HIM as much as HE loves ME!

Thus, I will write about my testimonies here.... Everyday, there must be
something God had did for you,
something God had tought you,
something God had done to show His love to you,
something God had bless you!

So, hope I can have the will, STRONG will, STRONG determination to maintain this blog of my TESTIMONIES....

YEAH!

Sound monitors protect premature babies

INDIANAPOLIS - Warning lights hover over the snoozing patients in Riley Hospital for Children's neonatal intensive care unit, ready to flash whenever sound levels creep beyond normal conversation.

As decibels rise, the colors on the new monitoring system change from green to yellow to red, hushing chatty parents or doctors so the babies get the rest they need to develop.

Noise louder than roughly the level of conversation can cause premature or sick babies' hearts to beat too fast or too slowly, said Dr. William Engle, a neonatologist at Riley. And interfering with babies' vital signs or sleep can slow development and healing because their bodies do most of that work while they sleep.

"The function of babies is to grow and develop, and in between they eat," he said.

Preemies also need quiet so they can learn their mother's voice and their brains can figure out how to process sound, things that normally happen in the last trimester before birth.

"It's definitely a great idea," Dr. Bob White, a neonatologist at South Bend's Memorial Hospital, said of the monitoring system in Riley's neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU.

White, who is not involved in creating or distributing the system, helped write national noise standards for NICUs that have been adopted by the American Institute of Architects and are used in most hospital design.

Inventor Chris Smith hopes doctors around the country agree with White. He has sold his Sonicu system to several Indiana hospitals and wants to expand nationally.

Smith, 43, had no training as a sound engineer and no plans to become an entrepreneur when his son Sean was born five weeks premature in 2000. But he noticed Sean flinch in response to bright light in the NICU of St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital, and he wound up designing a system to soften the unit's lighting.

Then the nurses asked him what he could do about sound.

"That's really when I realized that there was no good way out there to measure sound, other than your standard, hand-held meter," he said.

Babies born too soon lose the muffling effect of the womb before their ears can filter sound, White said.

"The sounds ... come from all different directions and all different sources, and they're often associated with unpleasant sensations for the baby," White said.

NICUs are rife with noise pollution created by employees, equipment and excited family members.

"There's no good way for the nurses or doctors to walk up to a parent, tap them on the shoulder and say, 'You're being too loud,'" Smith said. "That's confrontational."

The former car mechanic filled hours of spare time in the evenings and on weekends researching sound standards and building a system.

Smith, who tinkered in radio and TV electronics in high school, hired an acoustical engineer to help. They created a ceiling-mounted system of microphones that picked up sound and funneled data back to a large control panel.

"There was a lot of wiring, a lot of labor, a lot of programming," he said.

St. Vincent paid around $100,000 for the system, which it installed about five years ago. Smith had no interest in shopping his invention to other hospitals because the work took so much time.

Then Riley Hospital, also in Indianapolis, called a few months later.

"They basically said, 'I want that,'" he said.

The latest version of Sonicu can feed a stream of both sound and light data digitally to a computer. It offers the cone-shaped warning lights and can quickly dim the lighting in a room that gets too noisy. It also can make lighting mimic the sun by brightening toward noon and then fading, which also helps babies sleep well.

White, the neonatologist who helped write the national standards, said he knows of no other NICU monitoring system that sophisticated.

Smith has sold systems to a handful of Indiana hospitals, so far to good reviews. He said the systems can cost anywhere from $40,000 to $400,000, depending on each hospital's needs.

The monitors have taught hospital staff to limit the number of groups making rounds at the same time because having more than one group in a room raises noise levels dramatically.

Most NICUs are filled with noise that can't be helped, White said. Fans in the heating and ventilation system have to operate almost constantly, and the monitors need to beep.

The Sonicu system reins in the main noise maker that can be controlled.

"People think, 'Oh gosh, I didn't realize, I'll go over here so I won't have to talk so loud,'" White said. "It really is something that addresses the human factors that we do have some control over."
