5 Offer just and right sacrifices;
trust (lean on and be confident) in the Lord.6 Many say,
Oh, that we might see some good!
But I say
Lift up the light of Your countenance upon us, O Lord.7 You have put more joy and rejoicing in my heart
than [they know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.8 In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.Psalm 4:5-8

05.29.08Continua sa te increzi in Dumnezeu
Oricat de dificile ar parea lucrurile, trebuie sa ramai mereu deasupra situatiei! Continua sa te increzi in Dumnezeu . Stai treaz si roaga-te toata noaptea daca trebuie, dar nu te da batut. Continua sa te bazezi pe Cuvant . Poate visul tau nu a luat viata in totalitate, dar a inceput sa se incalzeasca. Lucrurile incep sa se imbunatateasca. Dumnezeu misca lucrurile. Raspunsul asteptat de tine este pe drum; nu te da batut inainte sa-l primesti!

05.27.08The Everlasting Bread of Life
People waiting to be baptized at First Pentecostal Church of Iasi, Romania
27 "Don’t waste your energy striving
for perishable food like that.
Work for the food that sticks with you,
food that nourishes your lasting life,
food the Son of Man provides.
He and what He does are guaranteed
by God the Father to last. "28 To that they said,
"Well, what do we do then to get in on God’s works?"29 Jesus said,
"Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent.
That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works."30-31 They waffled:
"Why don’t you give us a clue about who you are,
just a hint of what’s going on?
When we see what’s up, we’ll commit ourselves.
Show us what you can do.
Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert.
It says so in the Scriptures:
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’"32-33 Jesus responded,
"The real significance of that Scripture
is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven
but that my Father is right now
offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.
The Bread of God came down out of heaven
and is giving life to the world ."34 They jumped at that:
"Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"35-38 Jesus said,
"I am the Bread of Life.
The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action,
you don’t really believe me.
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me.
And once that person is with me,
I hold on and don’t let go.
I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim
but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me .39-40 "This, in a nutshell, is that will:
that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed
—not a single detail missed—
and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
This is what my Father wants:
that anyone who sees the Son
and trusts who he is
and what he does
and then aligns with him
will enter real life, eternal life.
My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time ."John 6:27-40

05.26.08Photos Of Me Taken by Denisa After Her Last Exam
On Saturday evening I met with Denisa, after her last exam. She had her last exam. That is great. I am very happy for her. God loves her very much and helped Denisa to finish university. If you didn’t know, she studied computer science. In a few days Denisa will have the graduation ceremony.
Here are some photos we took to the other, in front of the Gr. T. Popa Medicine University of Iasi.

05.22.08Graphic Design Styro Stone Romania brochure - update
A few days ago, I updated the brochure I created for Styro Stone Romania. You can see here the first brochure I did for Styro Stone for Suceava. Actually, I continuously updated this brochure for Styro Stone. Styro Stone Romania grew. Styro Stone Romania has opened new offices all over the country. The business is growing. I am really happy for them. One day, when I’ll have the money for a house, I will choose their system to build my home.

05.22.08A Life Changing Encounter
Photo of girls playing and running in the fields of Comarna village Iasi district Romania
I’ve just read about a ordinarily woman that had a encounter that changed her whole life . She was doing something ordinary in an ordinary day , like she did in all the other days.
Like in any other day she went out of her town to get some water. In that times and place people didn’t have current water. Each day, the women had to go to the the wheel, that was outside the town, to take water for the entire day. They were much more eco-friendly in that times. For a family 20 liters was enough, except the animals, that were brought directly to the water.
So, we see the woman going to take water, in the same manner as she always did , like in any other day. But something is different today . There, at the wheel, she sees a man . This man had different clothes than they used to wear in that area - Samaria. Continue Reading…

Some time ago I wrote about the conflict between Saul and David. Today I would like to write about how behaved Saul and David, when their reign seems to be taken from them.
Here is what happened. Continue Reading…

05.19.08My Repentance Prayer
1 Have Mercy upon me, O God,
according to Your steadfast love;
according to the multitude of Your tender mercy
and loving-kindness blot out my transgressions.2 Wash me thoroughly [and repeatedly]
from my iniquity and guilt
and cleanse me and make me wholly pure from my sin!3 For I am conscious of my transgressions
and I acknowledge them;
my sin is ever before me.4 Against You, You only, have I sinned
and done that which is evil in Your sight,
so that You are justified in Your sentence
and faultless in Your judgment.5 Behold, I was brought forth in [a state of] iniquity;
my mother was sinful who conceived me [and I too am sinful].6 Behold, You desire truth in the inner being;
make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.7 Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean [ceremonially];
wash me, and I shall [in reality] be whiter than snow.8 Make me to hear joy and gladness and be satisfied;
let the bones which You have broken rejoice.9 Hide Your face from my sins
and blot out all my guilt and iniquities.10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right, persevering,
and steadfast spirit within me.11 Cast me not away from Your presence
and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
and uphold me with a willing spirit.13 Then will I teach transgressors Your ways,
and sinners shall be converted and return to You.14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness and death, O God,
the God of my salvation,
and my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness
(Your rightness and Your justice).15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall show forth Your praise.16 For You delight not in sacrifice,
or else would I give it;
You find no pleasure in burnt offering.17 My sacrifice [the sacrifice acceptable] to God
is a broken spirit;
a broken and a contrite heart
[broken down with sorrow for sin
and humbly and thoroughly penitent],
such, O God, You will not despise .Psalm 51:1-17

05.15.08The Courage To Make The Step Of Faith
Maybe you had you fill to hear again and again about David. So, we’ll have a little break today.
I really appreciate what Joab and his brother Abishai did when they had to lead the people into battle against Arameans and Ammonites. I have to say one tiny thing about David… that David was blessed with good people around him : Continue Reading…

05.14.08Fairytale Photo Shooting at Botanical Gardens in Iasi
On my birthday (2nd of May), me and Denisa went to the Botanical Gardens in Iasi. We had a very nice time there.
As we were walking the beautiful alleys we saw 2 girls that were taking photos. So, we asked them to take us a photo. I gave them my camera and they started to shoot. They were very nice, because instead of just one shoot, they took rather many photos. Even if it was raining we continued to have fun together.
Enjoy some of the photos we took at Botanical Gardens in Iasi (that I post-processed)
