Welcome To Crystal's Blog

It is my prayer that God will use my writings to bless you today. I write straight from the heart. I write as a venue to praise God, and grow as a woman. I am a woman saved by grace! I am married to the most amazing man, and I have been blessed with four beautiful children. God uses my family to teach me and subsequently increases my faith in Him. At times I write through tears of joy, and at times tears of sorrow. Join me as I honestly share my heart and give God praise for His love!

Singapore "Buddha, Buddhist's, Temples, and Beautiful Flowers"

1 Timothy 2:5 " For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."


There are estimated 230 - 250 million Buddhist in the world today.  That is 230 - 250 million people who have chosen to reject the teaching of the Bible and place their hopes in a metal statue.  These women were rubbing this statue in such an intimate manner.  God spoke to my heart, and I began praying for these people. I find security in knowing there is one God of the entire universe!  Knowing he cares not only about me personally, but equally for these individuals idolizing this man made statue.  The temples, and flowers are unique and beautiful.  However, I have learned that Satan uses beautiful and attractive features to derive our attention.  To capture and entice us!  Not sure what is attractive about this big, ugly, bronze statue, but it sure has attracted million's throughout the world.  My heart was burdened, and God has placed it upon my heart to pray for the million's who are putting their trust in anyone or anything other than God.  


The most beautiful flowers, this side of Heaven.


I love this Picture!!!  This woman takes such special care of the beautiful flowers.


So many flower vendors.  All of these vendors are outside the temple.  The Buddhist's purchase the flowers and incense, to give as a sacrifice unto the Buddha.  I wanted Robert to buy me some of the beautiful flowers!


The Temple is intricately and beautifully made.
