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.

07.18.08The 1st Day in USA
I have not been writing for some time because I’ve been very busy. I am in USA to my company headquarters for technical discussions and some training. There’s a lot to do so the free time is kind of none. Here are some photos, the very few I had the time to take.

07.08.08My Dead ExRoses
Some time ago, after church, together with Denisa, I bought a small bush of roses. They looked so pretty. But I was gone away for a week and there was nobody to water my roses. So, they dried out. I cut them, leaving gust the roots. Maybe the roses will come back to life. Here is a photo of just the dried flowers.

07.01.08Sunday Barbecue Photo Session with Emil near Comarna, in Iasi district
On Saturday I went together with Denisa to Emima and Lucian’s wedding. I’ll post the photos soon. So, I planned to dedicate the whole Sunday morning to sleeping. But I just could not sleep. I woke up at 9 am. Because I got this free time I went with Emil for a swim. At noon we came back and took the barbecue grill from our landlord. Then we went and bought some chicken wings, 2 pieces of oceanic fish, 2 big shrimps. With all this in the car we went discovering a new quiet place to do some barbecue. After 1 hour of search we discovered a nice place near Comarna village, in Iasi district. Here are the photos…

06.26.08Photos from the bus in Iasi Romania
Yesterday, I as was coming home by bus I took those two photos. In Romania people are not used with bigger cameras so I always get strange looks from them. So, I didn’t take photos with people on the street or in the bus, here in Iasi.
I didn’t know what I missed, I didn’t know the power of natural light coming from the window and lighting the face. So here they are… a man and a woman sitting next to the other in the bus.

06.25.08What Is A Good Investment on the Long Term?
Photo of an old gate guarding a monastery near Ohrid Macedonia
The earnings of the righteous
(the upright, in right standing with God)
lead to life,
but the profit of the wicked leads to further sin.Proverbs 10:16
This verse in Romanian says something like:
The righteous uses his earnings for life,
but the wicked one uses his earnings for sin.Proverbs 10:16
Those two different point of views. But I think that they work together. They do not contradict one another. The first one says that the earnings themselves, the type of profit we make, if you are righteous, helps us to go go on the good path. And if we are wicked will will produce some kind of black profit that buries us deeper in sin.
The other translations says that if we are righteous and we live accordingly to our name, then we will use all we have to do good. But if we are wicked we will find out delight in sin and we’ll do that by investing in sin, so sin more.
In the same time if I am training now and if I want to be righteous, to become a wise man, I have to invest in the real life, in my eternity. But if I invest in sinful activities, then I will become wicked. Actually…
The heart is deceitful above all things,
and it is exceedingly perverse and corrupt and severely, mortally sick!
Who can know it [perceive, understand, be acquainted with his own heart and mind]?Jeremiah 17:9
All this means that our hart is already wicked. So what can we do to transform it into a loving and caring one? Well, the only way is to give my hart to God. I did, but the struggle continues. It happens with people to become saints the next day. But this does not seem to happen with me. I still have my war against sin and evil. The Devil is not just letting me alone. I pray everyday to have the strength to fight, even if sometimes I loose like I did yesterday.
We don’t have just money to invest, Time, sentiments, feelings are also available to be invested in a way or other.
So what can I do? What can we all do about this fight? Well, as the verse says, to continue to fight the good battle. To continue to invest in the eternal life and try not to invest in sin.

06.19.08God Guide me on the Road of Eternal Life
Photo of Lake Ohrid from Macedonia. IFES graduates conference
Investigate my life, O God,
find out everything about me;
Cross-examine and test me,
get a clear picture of what I’m about;
See for yourself whether I’ve done anything wrong—
then guide me on the road to eternal life.Psalm 139:23-24
1-2 God, come close.
Come quickly!
Open your ears—it’s my voice you’re hearing!
Treat my prayer as sweet incense rising;
my raised hands are my evening prayers.3-6 Post a guard at my mouth, God,
set a watch at the door of my lips and eyes.
Don’t let me so much as dream of evil
or thoughtlessly fall into bad company.
And these people who only do wrong—
don’t let them lure me with their sweet talk!
May the Just One set me straight,
may the Kind One correct me,
Don’t let sin anoint my head.
I’m praying hard against their evil ways.Psalm 141:1-6
