I will pray until I become prayer itself

-


Here comes something that has been very close to my heart, or even better: it is part of my life. This is like the story of my life. It's something that really describes what I've been through on my journey on this earth! God is so perfect that every minute of my life makes sense and I find my delight totally in Him!

I am passionately in love with God
Because He listens to me.
He hears my prayers and answers them.

As long as I live I'll keep praying to Him,

For He stoops down to listen to my heart's cry.
Death once stared me in the face and
I was so close to slipping into its dark shadows.
I was terrified and overcome with sorrow.
I cried out to the Lord,
"God, come and save me!"
He was so kind, so gracious to me!
Because of His passion toward me,
He made everything right and He restored me!
So I've learned from my experience, 
That God protects the child-like and humble ones.
For I was broken and brought low,
But He answered me and came to my rescue! 
Now I can say to myself and to all,

Relax and rest, be confident and serene, 

For the Lord rewards fully

Those who simply trust in Him!

God has rescued my soul from death's fear and
Dried my eyes of many tears.
He's kept my feet firmly on His path, 
And strengthened me so that I may live my life before Him
In His life-giving light!
Even when it seems I'm surrounded
By many liars and my own fears;
And though I'm hurting in my suffering and trauma,
I still stay faithful to God and I speak words of faith.
So now, what can I ever give back to God
To repay Him for the blessing He's poured out on me?
I will lift up His cup of salvation

And praise Him extravagantly

For all that He's done for me! [...]
Lord, because I am Your loving servant,
You have broken open my life
And freed me from my chains.
Now I'll worship You passionately and bring to You
My sacrifice of praise, drenched with thanksgiving!

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.
