Merry Christmas

Why Butterfly?

These are the answers of why I named it this way.

In March 2008, I was in a market place; my mother wanted a piece of material for the curtains. When we arrive were the boot of this person sells the material, we saw a very nice one. It was a red colored background with brown trees and many white butterflies. It was a Chinese style. I like Chinese style, even there culture and when I saw it, I remembered a sentence on the internet; what the butterfly symbolizes for the Chinese and Japanese people. It says: the butterfly symbolize of a changing life or an already changed life. I started to think, my life changed trough Jesus Christ, I was in a wrong way and now I’m a new creation trough Him. I felt a great joy and started to sing praises. This is what I found after that, see as follows:



BUTTERFLY: Reminds Christians of the amazing transformation that takes place through Christ's redemption and regeneration. When "born again," we become "a new creation." (2 Cor. 5:17).

Why Butterfly 2?

I think everyone know how the circle of a butterfly is! (Please! go on the 7th October for those who don’t know) first the Egg, then the Caterpillar, the Pupa and finally the butterfly. I associate this cycle with my life:
First the egg - I was born in this world.
Second the Caterpillar – you know the caterpillar eat to grow like everyone else. The thing is what kind of food you are eating. Good food like going to mass, read the Holy Bible, praying every day and trust God. Bad food like sexual immorality, greedy, drugs, music (not all the music are wrong just watch for the lyrics pls), films, porn, even cartoons some of them are not good, the kind of friends (Don’t be afraid to change your friends, God will give you very special ones. At first it will be hard but it is worthy and you will never be disappointed. I had lonely days before I choose this way and now I have many friends and a great community (for me, they are my family too). Don’t be worry or upset, He will give you what ever you need. "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7))
and all the nonsense of fortune tellers. I don't know what the future holds but I know who holds the future. Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 3:5-7). For me, the first was good but after the bad thinks
Third the Pupa – when the devil covers your eyes, blinds you with the earthly thinks from the light, the truth and especially the love of God.
Finally the Butterfly – when you decide to give your life to Jesus, He broke the blindness that covers you eyes. Like: a ray of light from a dark place, a worm hope, joy, peace and love. When a butterfly comes out from a pupa, slowly stretch his wings and open them wide but he cant fly until the ray of light gives his wings the strength to do so. Can you imagine that? Jesus gives us the strength to go on, he set us free, our light to a darken road and you never be alone.

My 30th Birthday

Thank you very much for the wonderful birthday. All of you are my best present from God; I wish you lots of blessings, joy, peace and love.

Why a way to another?

I was 13 years of age, when my friend told me about a dairy. It was called My Friend Dairy. On this diary you can write: your daily activity, how it was your day, tests of your daily behavior, payers for those in need and a sentence from the Holy Bible. It was very interesting so I began to follow this dairy. My family is not a very religious one, they like other normal families; mass on Sunday and catechism that’s all. The more days and years passed by, the more something was happing until I understood what it was. I needed someone to love and love me in return; I didn’t know what the meaning of a relationship with Jesus in those days. My family love me very much but not that kind of love. I’ve continued searching, my brother tried to help me too, he sets date with his friend but it never worked. The more the days passed the more I was convinced that this love never exists, its just fantasy. One day in the being of June 1999, I was so frustrate with this tough in my mind, and said this words, “I don’t want to know about love any more, I don’t want to listen even its word, LOVE DOES NOT EXIST”. In that day forward I’ve stared to practice witchcrafts, tarots, white and black magic. My acts started to be very evil and do evil things.

Why bullying was my problem?

I’d never go somewhere with my friends because I’ve always been bullied even at work, the only friend I’ve had is the one who told me about the dairy but she was always busy. Her mother died, so the household things were on in her hands. Even my friend was bullied, we were a very quiet persons and I was more that she was because I have this nonsense of; I’m not speak to people unless they came and spoke to me but when your been bullied far too long that’s how you became and with a low self-esteem it get even worse. Much worse because you began to see your friends and people like tools; if I need you, I will use you and if not I leave you there. But I’m getting better, with the help of my Lord Jesus of course.

Testimony Part 1

It beings when a friend set me a blind date with the brother of her fiancé. This person was a member of a charismatic prayer group; know in a youth charismatic prayer group. His name is Lawrence, we decided to have a soft drink somewhere and he began to spoke about Jesus, his prayer group and a session called healing service. I was bored but at the same time interested, let me explain why, in those days I’ve practiced witchcraft, tarot cards, black and white magic, so imagine water with fire, they can’t be together. We continue to frequent each other and one day Lawrence invites me to go in this healing service at Mdina, it was held in Saturday. So I went and was very surprised, I never knew it was very different from the religious things that I used to know. The music was wonderful; (I’m a lover of music by the way) the praise, and the worship, like Jesus was there in front of them. But something inside prevent me from being joyful like them and I was very afraid. After a week we were on a date again and while eating an ice cream Lawrence spoke to me again about Jesus while he was talking I felt that God send Lawrence to bring me back to him, somehow Lawrence noticed and he asked me what was wrong and I told him what I felt, so he asked me to go with him at his prayer group in Friday evening, I really liked the music so I said yes. The next healing service was in September at the church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Paola. In those days I had a problem with my elbow, it gave me a great pain when I put on top of the table. I’ve been healed from that healing service, I didn’t ask but Lawrence knows that I was in pain and he prayed on my elbow.

Testimony Part 2.

3 months had passed since I decided to go these prayer meetings and even healing services. They were very nice and interesting but my situation hadn’t changed. I’ve always had that feeling of fear ness. It was October; we had a healing service in Valletta at the church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. It was nearly finished the healing service when Lawrence asked me to pray on me, I accepted but when he started with a certain language known as the gift of tongues, I didn’t fill comfortable, the fear ness started to increase and I had a (so called) resting in the spirit. When I woke up I asked Lawrence what happen and he explained to me what is. He said: "there is noting to be afraid of, sometimes when the Holy Spirit came upon us, our body can’t handle it so we fall, but in a way that He will not harm you". Lawrence add saying I had a healing from past hurts too. It was always been the same when we go on a healing service or a prayer meeting until on February 2000 me and Lawrence, decided to pray together and same as usual, I had another healing from past hurts, suddenly I heard Lawrence asked me a question; "do you what to give your life to Jesus?" and I said yes. From that day on I never had and other healing from past hurts but a very joyful moments, praising like I never used to, a wonderful peace and most of all a great Love, that love I’ve always searched for, a very life to the full and abundant. (John 10:10)

Why Blogspot?

For those who ask, why this blogspot name is “Why Butterfly?” I am going to explain it very soon.

I did this blogspot for a purpose. This purpose is to make my first step to say my testimony how I meet Jesus. Yes! I’m a Christian, a roman catholic to be exact. I was afraid to tell my story, I didn’t know why but I knew that I need to do something. It’s impossible to keep it a secret because it is wonderful what the Lord has done to me. I’m always thankful. My testimony is like a chain reaction, I’ve tried to make it short, sorry if I wrote to long. I did my best :).

The four stages lifecycle

Mating Common Buckeye Butterflies
Unlike many insects, butterflies do not experience a nymph period, but instead go through a pupal stage which lies between the larva and the adult stage (the imago). Butterflies are termed as holometabolous insects, and go through complete metamorphosis.
Egg
Larva, known as a caterpillar
Pupa (chrysalis)
Adult butterfly (imago)
