Christmas 2011

-
This Christmas we had the privilege to share some gifts with poor children and families! My heart is always joyful when I can give to the poor! I can feel with them and see their distress. It's like a sword piercing my heart when I see how they live...I use to see poor people sitting on the cold ground...brrr...How can we Christians oversee them? How can we go on and not stop to ask what they need?

Look at this cute little boy, he's eyes show so much love and innocence.


Here's a great quote:

'Where is God? Everywhere. How do we love God? He gives us the opportunity to do to others what we would like to do to Him, to put our love for Him in action:  loving and serving Him in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor.'
- Mother Teresa




This cute little girl draw my attention and I was so touched by her beauty and sadness. We gave her a cute present, but she didn't smile. Only she knows what life she has to live. She was a real lesson for me that day...and I suppose it was for a lifetime. 


Treating life as a chance to serve the poor means God's kingdom inches into your heart and this world.
When you serve to others, you find Jesus' heartbeat. It's like wearing His shoes, carrying us through dark and dirty places. Being like Jesus means looking for opportunities to be a blessing for others.


Walking with God shows us when to act and when to stop and trust Him.

Slow down a little bit

I know I haven't written for a long time on my blog. It's not something I have been prioritizing lately and I can't promise or say that I will, in the future. I wanted to come up here now and just write my thoughts down.  I haven't been feeling good for a few days, I got a cold and I had time to slow down and think. I've realized that I have been working a lot, I have been active doing lots of things and I have made new friends, which occupied a lot of my time. All of these are good and I love all, but they occupy my life, my thoughts, my feelings and my time. I have this way of mine, that I live in my head and I have lots of thoughts. I've learned that it's not wrong, but it isn't right to be occupied with other things first, rather than with what is the most important. The most important is God and it will always be as such. This will never change and it's something I want more than anything else in the whole universe. The only thing is that when I

Image by 0fjd125gk87 I'm so happy to have some time to sit down and write some things that have been on my mind lately. I've been very busy, and my life has been in a hurry, being in haste to do everything and fit everything into the week and then start a new week with the same hectic lifestyle, which was slowly robbing me of joy, concentration, energy, and hobbies or things I like to do for myself. I've been looking at my life and I was seeing how I enjoy my job and all the work I'm doing, but I'm in a constant giving and I don't invest in myself and the things I enjoy doing. I'm grateful that I've been able to travel and spend time with people I love, but the first thing that caught my attention, after having some time away from work and the frantic life, was not having enough time for what's the most important in my life: my connection and intimacy with God either. When I realized this, I started being more aware of where most of my time and energ

The List for a future spouse

I have read something very interesting a few weeks ago and it still is in my thoughts. I can't stop thinking about it and its results. Read the following story from a book I've recently read by Sally Clarkson entitled Dancing with My Father: One mysterious evening before we were married or even dating, I received a phone call from Clay. He asked if I was busy on the next Saturday, explaining that he wanted me to accompany him on a surprise adventure.
