Saint Basil’s Cathedral : The Red Square ’s Colorful Church
The St. Basil’s Cathedral is located on the Red Square in Moscow , Russia . A Russian Orthodox church, the Cathedral sports a series of colorful bulbous domes that taper to a point, aptly named onion domes, that are part of Moscow ’s Kremlin skyline. The cathedral was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible to commemorate the capture of the Khanate of Kazan. In 1588 Tsar Fedor Ivanovich had a chapel added on the eastern side above the grave of Basil Fool for Christ, a Russian Orthodox saint after whom the cathedral was popularly named.



Hallgrimskirkja : Iceland ’s Most Amazing Church

At 74.5 meters (244 ft), it is the fourth tallest architectural structure in Iceland . The church is named after the Icelandic poet and clergyman Hallgrmur Ptursson (1614 to 1674), author of the Passion Hymns. State Architect Gujn Samelsson’s design of the church was commissioned in 1937; it took 38 years to build it.



Temppeliaukio Kirkko: The Rock Church

It was designed by architect brothers Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and completed in 1969. They chose a rocky outcrop rising about 40 feet above street level, and blasted out the walls from the inside. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Helsinki and frequently full of visitors.



Cathedral of Brasilia : The Modern Church of architect Oscar Niemeyer
The Catedral Metropolitana Nossa Senhora Aparecida in the capital of Brazil is an expression of the architect Oscar Niemeyer. This concrete-framed hyperboloid structure, seems with its glass roof to be reaching up, open, to heaven. On 31 May 1970 , the Cathedral’s structure was finished, and only the 70 m diameter of the circular area were visible. Niemeyer’s project of Cathedral of Brasilia is based in the hyperboloid of revolution which sections are asymmetric. The hyperboloid structure itself is a result of 16 identical assembled concrete columns. These columns, having hyperbolic section and weighing 90 t, represent two hands moving upwards to heaven. The Cathedral was dedicated on 31 May 1970 .



Borgund Church : Best Preserved Stave Church
The Borgund Stave Church in Lrdal is the best preserved of Norway ’s 28 extant stave churches. This wooden church, probably built in the end of the 12th century, has not changed structure or had a major reconstruction since the date it was built. The church is also featured as a Wonder for the Viking civilization in the video game Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings.



Las Lajas Cathedral : A Gothic Church Worthy of a Fairy Tale
The Las Lajas Cathedral is located in southern Colombia and built in 1916 inside the canyon of the Guaitara River . According to the legend, this was the place where an Indian woman named Mara Mueses de Quiones was carrying her deaf-mute daughter Rosa on her back near Las Lajas (”The Rocks”). Weary of the climb, the Mara sat down on a rock when Rosa spoke (for the first time) about an apparition in a cave. Later on, a mysterious painting of the Virgin Mary carrying a baby was discovered on the wall of the cave. Supposedly, studies of the painting showed no proof of paint or pigments on the rock - instead, when a core sample was taken, it was found that the colors were impregnated in the rock itself to a depth of several feet. Whether true or not, the legend spurred the building of this amazing church.



St. Joseph Church : Known for its Thirteen Gold Domed Roof
The St. Joseph The Betrothed is an Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church in Chicago . Built in 1956, it is most known for its ultra-modern thirteen gold domed roof symbolizing the twelve apostles and Jesus Christ as the largest center dome. The interior of the church is completely adorned with byzantine style icons (frescoes). Unfortunately the iconographer was deported back to his homeland before he was able to write the names of all the saints as prescribed by iconographic traditions.



Chapel of St-Gildas : Built into the base of a bare rocky cliff
The Chapel of St-Gildas sits upon the bank of the Canal du Blavet in Brittany, France . Built like a stone barn into the base of a bare rocky cliff, this was once a holy place of the Druids. Gildas appears to have travelled widely throughout the Celtic world of Corwall, Wales , Ireland and Scotland . He arrived in Brittany in about AD 540 and is said to have preached Christianity to the people from a rough pulpit, now contained within the chapel.

Confession!

The Lord created me
I will not be afraid, for he has ransomed me.
He called me by name; I (Nicole) am yours, oh God.
When I go through deep waters,
God will be with me.
When I go through rivers of difficulty,
I will not drown.
When I walk through the fire of oppression,
I will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume me.

I am the Lord's servant.
I have been chosen to know God and believe in him,
and understand that you alone are God.
it is nothing compared to what God is going to do in me.
He is doing a new thing in me. Amen

Isaiah 43 (1-3,10,18-19)
Thanks!!

Letter from my King!

My Princess,

I am your King and the ruler of all things. When the winds blow and the waves crash against the sides of your life boat, let Me steer you to safety. I'm not only the Captain of your ship, I can also control the storm. I know you like to feel you're in control by holding on to the wheel with all your strength, but I have you and your future under control. Who knows you better than I do? I don't want you to keep exhausting yourself trying to rebuild your life after another shipwreck. I am the One who takes what is broken and rebuilds it even better than before. So give your life back to Me. I will calm you in the storm, or I will clear the rough water; either way, you will be safe with Me!

Love,Your King who calms the storm

"THE DISCIPLES WOKE HIM UP, SHOUTING,"MASTER, MASTER WEĆ¢€™RE GOING TO DROWN!" SO JESUS REBUKED THE WIND AND THE RAGING WAVES. THE STORM STOPPED AND ALL WAS CALM!"
LUKE 8:24

I'm the Woman of Priority!

Father, you Saved me and you showed me that life
Was much more than being some foolish man's wife (one day they will all see what it really is)
Showed me that love was respect and devotion (yeah this can't be love)
Greater than planets and deeper than any ocean
See, my soul was weary, but now it's replenished (I'm good)
Content because that part of my life is finished (and I have no regrets, did everything I could)

I see him sometimes and the look in his eye
Is one of a man who's lost treasures untold


But my heart is guilty, I took back my soul
And totally let my Creator control(No matter what I trust God)
The (My) life which was (God's) his
The life which was his, to begin with(Thank you Lord, YOU will never leave me nor forsake me)

Insert from: I used to love him -Lauryn Hill

(Happy Belated Birthday Nicole! Wow)
