11.19.08Photos From The 2 Days Trip To Dorohoi With The Youth From The 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi
Last weekend, by God’s grace, after I was invited by Daniel Moisuc, I went for a 2 days trip to Dorohoi, with the youth from the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi. Dorohoi is in Botosani county. I was born and raised in Botosani, so I was closer to home.
We were invited by the some of the students that attend the 1st Christian Baptist Church of Iasi, and that came from Dorohoi. We were around 30 persons and we had a great time. Even if it took us 6 hours to get to Dorohoi and it was tiring, I think that it was worth it.
On Sunday morning we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi. We had some songs and Bible verses. In the evening we went to the Christian Baptist Church of Dorohoi, where we also had a program of our own.
Here are the photos I took on this trip. They will talk much better that I would

11.13.08Do Not Despair But Trust Into The Lord
Do Not Despair, But Trust Into The Lord Because He Controls The Course Of World Events
Photo taken in Republic of Macedonia, by Ohrid lake in Ohrid city
Read and hear this with your hart:
21 God controls the course of world events;
He removes kings and sets up other kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the scholars.22 He reveals deep and mysterious things
and knows what lies hidden in darkness,
though he is surrounded by light.Daniel 2:21-22
Did you get it? God is in control. Yes He is. He knows your current situation. He knows what you are struggling with. So WHAT if He knows and in the same time He does not change it. Why God does not change the things so I would feel better, so all those problems and frustration would disappear?
We are assured and know that
[God being a partner in their labor
or/and God works all things with them]
all things work together
and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God
and are called according to [His] design and purpose.Romans 8:28
See… all things work together for good and for those who love God, and God does it so. Also please read the next line. We see it’s a matter of love. So, do you love God? Do you really do? What means to love God?
Jesus answered,
If a person [really] loves Me,
he will keep My word [obey My teaching];
and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him
and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him.John 14:23
So now, from the course of world events and the things that happen daily in our life we found out that we have to keep God’s word, to obey Him.
Maybe you will say… I’ve been faithful to God, I obeyed Him, and now look what terrible things are happening to me. Yes that is true. You have a holly life. So God loves you. This means that what is happening now it is for your own good. We don’t see what’s around the corner. We don’t understand God’s mighty plan in all it’s beauty. Maybe you are discouraged and frustrated. Yes, it’s OK in the first time. But now your eyes have the opportunity to be opened and understand that God is in control. This is an eye opener. So what should we do then?
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything,
but in every circumstance and in everything [even when it is hard],
by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving,
continue to make your wants known to God.Philippians 4:6
What we learn is to bring our worries and thoughts to Jesus. Tell them to Him directly by prayer. Have some time just with Him and tell Him what’s on your mind and what is troubling you. In the same time fight the good fight loving Him. This means to do your best to obey God. And if it happens to fail sometimes, watch this…
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord,
and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return [to his God] and live?Ezekiel 18:23
My little children,
I write you these things
so that you may not violate God’s law and sin.
But if anyone should sin,
we have an Advocate (One Who will intercede for us) with the Father
–[it is] Jesus Christ
[the all] righteous [upright, just,
Who conforms to the Father's will in every purpose, thought, and action].1 John 2:1
So do not desperate, trust into the Lord because He controls the course of world events.

10.23.08Human Attraction to Rituals Rather Than Obeying to God
Reading the scriptures and observing the real life I observe that there is a fight between two facts.
God tells us to Listen to and obey My voice, and I will be your God and you will be My people; and walk in the whole way that I command you, that it may be well with you. (Jeremiah 7:23) On the other hand, we want to perform some kind of ritual. It seems that it is in our nature to do things instead of obeying God. I Jeremiah 7:22 it tells to the Israel people that in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. We think that we would get out just with making something. We try to change something outside of us instead of changing something inside of us.
Maybe that is why there are so many religions out there. All want to work out some processions and to receive the self fulfillment. More or less, our conscience accuses us. In out deepest part of the soul, we want to be free of this. Maybe we do not realize it. Instead of doing the real change within us we try to escape with doing something exterior.
Christianity did not escape of this plague of exteriorism faith. We created so many rituals and processions like all the other religions out there. At the base of Christianity is the only and true God, but because of our sinful nature, we made it just a religion like all the others, a religion of rituals instead one of faith and obeying. Instead of living in the light I am walking in the gray area. My conscience accuses me, so I feel guild. This guilt hurts. In this situation I want to escape the guilt. So, I try to make it go away by performing some rituals. But actually doing so I am treating the result, not the cause. I try to make go way the resulting grief.
The prophet Jeremiah tells us from the Lord:
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings,
if you thoroughly and truly execute justice between every man and his neighbor,6 If you do not oppress the transient and the alien,
the fatherless,
and the widow
or shed innocent blood
[by oppression and by judicial murders]
or go after other gods to your own hurt,7 Then I will cause you to dwell in this place,
in the land that I gave of old to your fathers
to dwell in forever.Jeremiah 7:5-7
I encourage you to continue those thoughts. Please let us all know how do you feel about this, how your inner being tries to get away with performing rituals. Thank you!

09.23.08God Takes Care of His Real Children – Be One of Them
Photo taken in Copou Park, in Iasi, on 19th of August 2008, at 9 pm, after I took part at the Photographers Club of Iasi
How can we be a real child of God? For a start believe in Him, love Him and act accordingly…
15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
who despises gain from fraud and from oppression,
who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil.16 [Such a man] will dwell on the heights;
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him;
water for him will be sure.Isaiah 33:15-16

09.09.08Ce loc ocupi in inima lui Dumenzeu
Photo taken near Campulung, Suceava district, Romania
Dumnezeu a umplut lumea de frumusete si mister, de cascade si de apusuri de soare, de ghetari si de locuri tropicale. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat o minte si capacitatea de a deosebi binele de rau, de a alege binele si viata. Dar Dumnezeu a spus: ‘nu te iubesc doar atat‘. Dumnezeu ti-a dat oameni, invatatori, prieteni, eroi, persoane cu care sa cunosti bucuria intimitatii si a comunitatii. Dar Dumnezeu a spus : ‘nu te iubesc doar atat.’ Apoi Dumnezeu L-a dat pe Isus. El reprezinta incercarea finala a lui Dumnezeu de a ne face sa intelegem cat de mult insemnam pentru El. Isus a ajuns la cruce pentru a plati o datorie pe care noi nu o puteam plati. Si Dumnezeu a spus: ‘acum, in sfarsit, poti intelege ce loc ocupi in inima Mea‘.

08.27.08Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor – Civil Marriage Photo Shooting
As I told you in my previous post – Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor – Engagement Photo Shooting – I was hired as photographer for Daniel and Luminita’s wedding. Here are some of the photos from the civil marriage.
Here in Romania the people that get married have to have the civil wedding. You go to a special building that belongs to the town hall. There the mayor or the officer of civil marriage tell you about the rights of the man and wife and ask you if you will take care of the other in any conditions. After both say yes, you have to sign in 2 registers, and the the witnesses.
After the civil marriage you can also have a wedding in the church.
But there are also exceptions when you do not even go to have a civil marriage. Usually gypsies have those kind of weddings. But now they go to have the civil marriage because of the money the new weds receive from the government. It is only 200 euros, but they give them, they don’t take.
So, here are some of the photos I took at Daniel Florin and Luminita Teodor civil marriage in Iasi, Romania.
