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!

16 and Married!

       As most of you may already know, I wasn't 16 and pregnant, like the popular MTV show. Instead I was 16 and married. Yes married before I graduated, or officially got my driving license. Married before I got an actual job and before I knew what marriage was really going to require.     I met my husband my freshman year in high school and for many months only looked at him as a friend to share my "boy" drama with. But after many lunches, conversations, hanging out, inviting him to my church, dancing at my quince, and skipping many electives together, I was in love with my homeboy, my friend. And all of a sudden, all the guys that I was entertaining as potential suitors didn't matter anymore. Not after Emerald called my house on a Tuesday night while I was watching American Idol, to confess his love for me. I remember seeing his family name on the caller I.D and almost falling off my bed to get the phone to tell him my sister wasn't ho...

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...

What's on your mind?

This is a question most of us face daily upon opening our social media apps such as Facebook. And exactly what is on our mind... What are we thinking? What thoughts fill our minds daily? Besides the tasks at hand such as working, taking care of family, and all our to-dos, what are you spending time meditating on? I'm sure you've heard it before. The mind is a battlefield, and its true. Think before you speak. And even in  Proverbs 23: 7, we see "For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." like the thoughts in our heads, those that no one hears or know are what determines and makes up who we are. Most of the actions, decisions, battles, troubles, start in our minds. Our thoughts determine our actions, our reactions and sometimes our inaction. As I talk to people, I truly discover that the way we think molds who we are and what comes out of us. Lets discover some of the things that infiltrate our minds if we let them. 1) Me- It is a fact, that no one thinks of y...
