An Interview with Rick Warren (REMEMBER, HE WROTE 'PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE')



You will enjoy the new insights that Rick Warren has, with his wife now having cancer and him having 'wealth' from the book sales. This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me. I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity.

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one. The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness. This past year has been the greatest year of my life but also the toughest, with my wife, Kay, getting cancer.
I used to think that life was hills and valleys - you go through a dark time, then you go to the mountaintop, back and forth. I don't believe that anymore. Rather than life being hills and valleys, I believe that it's kind of like two rails on a railroad track, and at all times you have something good and something bad in your life. No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.. And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for..

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems: If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

We discovered quickly that in spite of the prayers of hundreds of thousands of people, God was not going to heal Kay or make it easy for her- It has been very difficult for her, and yet God has strengthened her character, given her a ministry of helping other people, given her a testimony, drawn her closer to Him and to people.

You have to learn to deal with both the good and the bad of life.

Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy. It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before.. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.
So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.

Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church..

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity? Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do. That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..

If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to a friend...just like I have done.

God's Blessings?

here are some of my works :)





so there :) these are all labor of love lang not yet in business, still furthering my knowledge in balloon decorating and business :) just hope to succeed in this kind of business.

So, why do i end up with balloon decorating as my past time/hobby? well, it just started with my bestfriend's eldest son's bday party it was all balloons on stick then,still labor of love coz hubby and i personally pumped all d balloons!....i saw how kids face lit up when they see balloons....until my little boys we're born, we celebrated birth months for them, with just a balloon for accent in the picture hehe then i started to explore and experiment with the balloons, ayun! hehe i found a talent!haha

What a day!!!!

It's a Palm Sunday today,(the start of the Holy Week)its a mass day, hubby left early in the morning for nueva ecija to check on the place there, he'll be back tomorrow. The kids and i will be missing him for the day.So I decided we join papa and mama and nanay(grandma) hear mass in the morning then go to nanay's(grandma)place in cavite.

We ate a super late lunch,stayed there for a while, papa took a quick nap then as promised to the little boys,we then went to Starcity to check the Dinosaur Island.

On the way to starcity, we had a scary encounter with a bush fire that's just meters away from the road we are about to pass by...maybe because of the hot temperature,that started the bushes to ignite (or someone thew a cigarette,possibe ) creating fire and with a strong wind that's blowing at that time it became tremendous and thick smoke started to block our way giving us zero visibility on the road... what's scary is that papa stopped at the middle of the thick smoke and just meters away from the fire and the wind is blowing on our direction! papa can't see a thing even if he turned the bright lights on,told him to switch on the hazard signal and just slowly attempt to go forward! because deep inside i got scared for my little boys! the wind shortly changed direction, giving us a peak view, we took the chance of speeding up!saw the other lane piling up. others maneuvered (good decision!) after that encounter, gosh my hands are shaking! started embracing my little boys,while they have no idea of the danger we just got into! they just got amazed by the thick smoke!and just so excited that we're on our way to Dino Island!

At Starcity, nku the kids were so giddy,so excited!When they finally saw the entrance for the Dino Island...super, joelits is shouting "wow!wow!mama look!! dinosaur!!! big!big!" jarou is also shouting"huwwaaw!!" waw waw waw!" but the moment they entered.... got a little bit scared..hehe their shouts turned into whispers!Then we tried playing at the booths, our target is to get the big stuff toys...not so lucky hehe we just got the littlest ones hehe, joelits also took a rollercoster ride for kids(jarou's still not allowed to ride anything there pa!)I joined him and ate michelle, ok nman he didn't get scared considering its his first time!then for a remembrance, joelits and jarou had a photo printed on t-shirts :) they had a superb day. on the way home they were so tired to look for their papa,we didn't had a hard time putting them to sleep :)

What Your Nose Says About You

It's likely that you'll be lucky with money, though this luck may come later in life. You are reasonable and patient. You don't give into impulses. You are objective and logical. You make a good businessperson. You are helpful and giving. You like cooperating, and you're always willing to lend a hand. You are a nosey person and a bit of a snoop. You can't help but be curious! You are a realist. You aren't much of an optimist or a pessimist.
