Poem by Me


 So I've been reading lots of blogs, and watching lots of spoken word.
 I've come up with new ideas and was reminded to keep God first.


 I always knew writing and expressing was my calling.
 I didn't know how He'd use it so I started to write.
 To write about experiences and all HE has done.
 To tell you about my life and the things HE made right.
 Not to brag about me as if I did it alone, but to point you to Christ, the one who died for me and for you,
 so that we wouldn't have to.

 Its a matter of life or death and I need to warn you.
 You're headed nowhere fast and your chances of dying are 1 out of 1.
 You need to know there is more to life than what you've been living.
 Salvation is free, His grace, love and mercy,
 You can be forgiven.
 I don't know what else He will do with my life,
 but I want to continue about Him to write.
 I don't want to place limits on what He could do.
 His thoughts are higher, His plans are better.
 I want to be used and I want to love YOU...

 I want you to see a story of grace, a person so broken and full of mistakes
 who experienced betrayals and lots of heartbreaks.
 But who was changed one day when offered a second chance.
 She didn't have to be what she had been, or keep on the same path.
 I was loved for I was, what I'd been and could become.
 He loved me so freely and repaired my heart.
 Changed my mind and my life, and set me apart.

 You too can experience a love so great....
 you come as you are and you won't leave the same.
 His love for you conquered it all.
 He sent his Son to die for you, and rise on the third day
 So not even death could separate.
 He loved you then, He loves you now
 He's waiting, He's calling you out of the crowd.

 Once you make the decision to accept Him in your heart,
 that's where YOUR story of grace and redemption can start!

Nothing Else.

My favorite worship song right now is by Cody Carnes : Nothing Else. The lyrics as simple as can be: "I just want you. Nothing Else, nothing Else will do, I just want you." And as I sang this song a few Saturday nights ago at service, with my eyes closed and hands lifted in worship, I breathed in, and came to the realization of how more than just a song its a truth and a prayer I must live out everyday of my life. We just moved a week ago, and until then we were living in a clutter of boxes. and I realized how much I hate clutter. I know it was necessary, but it was making my mind cluttered as well and I just felt messy and like I couldn't wait to be in the new place, unpacked, and organized. I figured this would bring back the peace a normal routine and clean house brings me. It was just this week, I was listening to a preaching. A preaching that talked about the importance of walking in obedience especially when it comes to our finances. Dr. Mark Jobe on Mood...

Overflow?

I started 2019 in Colorado! Seeing snow for the first time, enjoying friends who became like family. Hopeful for what lay ahead. Optimistic at the word that would describe my year: overflowing! I welcomed my thirties surrounded by love and my husband throwing me the greatest surprise party yet. and though I don't mean to sound like some ungrateful brat that complains and whines, looking back at almost half a year now I cannot seem to find this "overflow" of joy I thought I'd be experiencing. To be honest, its been quite the opposite. That kinda going through the motions- trying to smile at life- hoping no one asks me any questions- type of feeling. And what's even scarier? That up until now, I never knew what that felt like. What's even more puzzling? I didn't even realize I felt this way til a few weeks ago I sat in church and as I prayed about so many things troubling my mind, it came to me. In a song. I started humming- and in my head sin...

Like ME!

How many likes will this get? Living in the social media age we live in, its often a question we ask before posting anything. A thought, our lunch, a new outfit, or an accomplishment in school or our career. Last week in school, my son was nominated to run for president of his kindergarten class as they learned about president's day. When he came home he told me he wasn't sure if they liked him and would vote for him. Of course, with me, that sparked a life conversation with him. "Not everyone is going to like you Manny, and that's ok!". I could even hear my moms voice in my head (in Spanish of course) telling me the very same thing growing up. I had to reassure him that all he could do was keep being the Emmanuel he is. With all his knowledge, likes, dislikes, habits, and mannerisms that are individual to him; he has to know he doesn't need anybody's approval to be just that. (except his parent's right now, but authority is another topic). I...
