Running!

I think its awesome how God works with me in themes. I'll be going through stuff not knowing what's going on and He will point me in the right direction with just a song or a verse.


 The past couple of weeks I have been consumed by a million little things. Colds, allergies, my husband, the kids, the volunteer hours, the budget, the bills, the appointments, my discipline and self control and failure to keep up with my eating, my exercising....and even things that I pick up from those that I love and I wish I could help. I didn't feel stressed or overwhelmed cause I rarely ever admit to it. But I haven't even felt like I could write.


 However as I stopped at a red light yesterday, one of my favorite worship songs came on and at that red light that took two cycles to turn green on me, I had no choice but to be there soaking in the lyrics.

 But the chorus really got me and it said::: "I'm running to your arms, the riches of your love will always be enough, nothing compares to your embrace, light of the world, forever reign"
 And of course with that song God was pulling on my heart cause I was singing and I wondered if I really meant it. If He is enough and its His arms I should be running to, why do I get so easily consumed running around everywhere except to Him.


 I try to find ways to save money, searching sales, I search for home remedies for ailments, ways to teach the kids...etc.. I try and try to do everything.... And to find a solution to all my problems.... When in reality all I am to do is run To Him.


 He's there, He knows and He has all the solutions to all my needs. I pray that these songs I sing could be more than JUST songs I sing, but that they could be the reality of my heart, of my spirit....to thirst and to Know Him More. To seek Him with all my heart and worship in spirit and Truth.


Today I encourage you, If you're feeling tired, consumed, stressed, overwhelmed, or simply like you just keep looking for all the answers....Rest in Him. He's got you. Everything WE need is found in His name.... ‪#‎Jesus‬

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...

New Me

Today, marks 8 years since my life was radically changed. It was this day that I realized two things::: Only God could love me wholly and perfectly, and there was no mistake I'd made that was too big for forgiveness....and it's the same forgiveness He'd want me to have with others. I celebrate this day because prior to this I wasn't really living... I was a slave to me and my selfish ways and years of doing things our way clearly wasn't working. At this point in my life I thought I'd be a 21 year old divorced single mother who would have to live in shame and guilt of ruining her own marriage..... But God.... He wasn't done. And He meant it all for good. He had started a work in my heart and my husband and was orchestrating these series of events that would lead us to Him.... Repentance and each other with a love newer and purer than before. A couple weeks ago I sat in a room full of women and told my testimony and I vividly remember every tear I ...
