I am shaping and will continue to shape my relationship and communication with God.
Prose:
It was not too long ago when I was lost.
I was on the wrong path spiritually.
I need change in my life.
I asked God to guide me as much as possible that I can get to be born again.
What shaped me since then were my prayers, my conversation with God,
and the people around me.
People around me affected me positively in many ways.
When I listen to Christian people, I am always moved and encouraged by their faith and great. passion.
Amen!
Being open myself to God is something I have been doing and I am currently doing
What means to be open to God?
This discipline does not happen automatically.
An individual has to work on it with intention and desire.
As Christians I am being open to people around me.
From there I get to be relieved from evil and loneliness.
It is very hard to realize that God’s presence is around us.
God always shows up in images of people or during prayers.
I often want to talk to God openly in order to build a relationship.
I want to see things with faith, hope and love.
I am and I will continue to fast because fasting is a way of helping me seek God’s will.
I want to spend time with God.
I want to be one with God.
Amen!
Sharing my life with others is what I am doing, and I will continue to do that forever and ever.
I want to do what is right.
God says that is good to tell and to speak the truth about ourselves.
As long as I am right to God,
I am convinced and committed to tell the truth no matter what consequences I will have to face
I want to love by giving and receiving.
I want to be held accountable in the society.
This will help me focus on living holy and responsible live.
I am committed to be with my community and small groups that will help me grow spiritually.
I need spiritual guidance and I want my faith to grow.
I am and I will continue to be a witness of God.
Amen!
I have been Praying to God and I will continue to pray
Who would not want to pray to God in this world?
Praying is important.
Prayer is the way to both the heart of God and the heart of the world
Everyone should pray because that is the best way to know God’s heart.
I want to be connected with God through my prayers.
I want to have time for prayers, scripture reading, in order to ask what i need.
A strategy of being alone during prayers and meditation has helped me.
When I am quiet I am able to find a way to look in my heart.
During quiet moment I can slowly connect my heart with God.
Through silence I am able communicate with God from anywhere at any time.
I want to listen to God in order to know God’s desire.
I am aware that Praying is not just about asking, but also about thanking.
Amen!
Life is not all about you instead it is all about those around you
We are so surprise a lot of time when people are being very nice to us, and sometimes we wonder why someone would care about us, when we did not expect that. Obviously those people are sent by God. However, there are other people who have paid attention to the words of God such as words in Philippians, Jeremiah and Mathew and are willing to apply it to their characters.
39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
41"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. Matthew 25:38-40
Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! Phillipians 4
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
Sometimes when school is hard on me I can still get to sleep, but when I think how much children around the world are suffering like me 15years ago, I cannot sleep. I have been helped with many people that i have never thought about, and that keeps me awake too because I feel like it is my homework to pay them back by helping other people in needs. Children are priority. We are called to imitate Jesus by helping others. For example how in a world those Chileans miners could have been able to escape if there were no support outside of their group. Yes, indeed we should support each other in order to Glorify God‘s name even more.
Evil spirit working around the world
The following story is about this woman who is an example of how many parents are abusing children around the world.
The main suspect in the gruesome murder of three children in Rusatira Sector, Huye district has owned up to her crime in a chilling confession.
Francoise Dusabe, 38 a resident of Kafumba Cell was arrested last Friday on suspicion of murdering three step children; Philemon Niyomugabo, 8, Habanabashaka, 5 and Jean Niyongana, 3.
In an interview over the weekend, Dusabe who was under detention at Ngoma Police Station, had earlier denied any involvement in the gruesome murder, saying that she realised that the children were dead on her return from a civil marriage ceremony.
In a new twist, however, speaking after interrogation by Police, Dusabe confessed to having singlehandedly murdered the three children using a hoe and a machete.
"I found the children alone in the house on my return from visiting a relative, I then hacked them to death," Dusabe told The New Times.
The deceased children had come to visit their father; Daniel Habimana, who separated with their mother five years ago.
Asked about the motive behind the crime, Dusabe said that she had developed misunderstandings with her husband before committing the crime.
"He always boasted of his children, besides I was also not on good terms with the mother of these children," she said.

Child protection from violence, exploitation and abuse
Introduction
Protecting children from violence, exploitation and abuse is an integral component of protecting their rights to survival, growth and development. An estimated 300 million children worldwide are subjected to violence, exploitation and abuse including the worst forms of child labor in communities, schools and institutions; during armed conflict; and to harmful practices such as female genital mutilation/cutting and child marriage.
Child Protection key data:
Birth Registration (2003)
• In 2003 nearly 50 million births go unregistered every year.
• South Asia has the largest number of unregistered children, with more than 23 million of births not registered. This equates to over 47 per cent of the unregistered births worldwide.
• In Sub-Saharan Africa, 55 per cent of children under five have not been registered.
Child Labour (2004)
• Estimates suggest that there were about 317 million economically active children aged 5 to 17 in 2004, of whom 218 million could be regarded as child labourers. Of the latter, 126 million were engaged in hazardous work.
• Children working in the home of a third party or ‘employer’ are extremely vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. ILO estimates that more girls under age 16 are in domestic service than in any other category of child labour.
• It is estimated that 5.7 million children are trapped into forced or bonded labour.
Child Marriage

• Asia has the highest number of orphans due to all causes, with 74 million children.
Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children
