I’m Hungry

Truth

Yes, you read right, I am hungry.

I hungry for God’s word and I can honestly say I haven’t felt this hungry for truth in the Word.

I have been reading daily, studying, questioning, wondering, and praying. It is amazing and it feels great. I was studying the book of Revelation. The book was insightful and rather shocking. Though I have read through it a couple of times, this time around I learned much more. I took time to allow the word to sink in. Friday night I read Revelation 21:6-7

6. Then he said to me, “It has happened! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give a drink from the spring of the water of life to the one who is thirsty. 7. The person who conquers will inherit these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.

This passage gives me hope. I tend to give up when good seems unnoticed and I know I am not worthy to be called His own. There are times when I all I want to do it do God’s will regardless of situations, objections, and people; then suddenly I feel I am not good enough to carry it out. I know I am worthy to be called His own if I simply conquer the strongholds against me! It’s a matter of knowing WHO YOU ARE IN GOD and walking in the path that He wants you in. The rest… is in His hands.

I want more truth and I’m going to get it.

I’m Believing for a Lamborghini

For those who thought that the Christian life was easy. Think again!

Love Each Other

John 15:17

This is my command: Love each other.

There is no exception to this command. There is no fine print in the bottom of this verse saying that it may be invalid in given circumstances.

I wanted to make an exception to this verse this past week.

Today in desperation I grabbed my Bible, turned on the music, and started reading. I am reading the book of Revelation. I read about five chapters but I had other troubles in my heart that needed ministering. I got my promise Bible out.

I was mad, angry, hurt, frustrated, and unforgiving. I have only felt this  way for one person; the problem was that the feelings were growing deeper. I questioned why she hated me so much? What had I done to her for such actions against me? If anything, I had tried to get along, I’ve tried the extra, yet all failed. Why all the door slamming and ignoring? I was hurt because they took her word and not mine. I was hurt for her hate against me. I was angry and hard hearted. I saw her as my worst and only enemy and I wanted to seek revenge. Then finally I sought revenge in little ways. I didn’t mind turning  on the light when I got home from work while she slept, I didn’t bother to be courteous with noise, and I pretended not to notice her in church. All this didn’t make me feel better.

I know it was ungodly.

So I looked in the table of contents of the promise Bible and looked up anger. Found nothing, so I saw “The Ability To Love”. That triggered my heart. The first sentence says ” Love your enemies!”. I knew I was reading the right section. As I started reading the verses, tears of understanding and repentance fell.

Matthew 5:39-45

39. But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

41. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.

42. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

43. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44. But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,

45. that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

46. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

47. And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

48. Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The verse touched my heart. I’m not perfect, but my Father is, therefore I shall strive to be more like Him. I shall love those who don’t exactly love me, for isn’t God’s love like that? Love unconditionally? Today I bow to love regardless of things done against me. I bow to love that person even though she many not love me. I will live through God’s love.

P.S.: If somebody happens to read it to you, just know that I meant nothing but to bless you by writing this. It is not meant to put you in bad stance with anyone, nor to seek revenge. It is simply my devotional.

Our Wedding Update

Cake

The only reason I am writing an update on the wedding is because every other comment on my social networks are “so how are the wedding plans going?” or “when is the wedding?” lol.

So here is the update guys!

There are no wedding plans for now.

I can almost imagine the look on your face…

almost like this..

Why?

Well, we are in no rush. We are taking it a step at a time. Hopefully by the end of this year we will have more of an idea where we are headed towards in the wedding. We are enjoying our time as an engaged couple. It is much harder than usual because of the distance, therefore waiting is the best thing we can do. We are savoring the engagement! Right now we are still working on our pre-marital classes; one of us is done with the book, and the other one of us… isn’t. Take a wild guess . So far, the book was good, I recommend it to every woman who wants a change in her life. The book is Ten Stupid Things Women Do To Mess Up Their Lives by Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Thanks P.S.!

Oh, just to clear up some rumors, lol, yes, there have been a few. No, my wedding was not this March. Initially we wanted the wedding for next March and there was a misunderstanding with some folks. The folks were saying the wedding was going to be this past March, so for the record, we are not married. It is not a shot gun wedding guys. So ponder on else where .

We’ll give you a few updates on the wedding though!

1. We want a small family intimate wedding.

2. We are looking at having the wedding in Monterey, CA.

3. & It’s not going to be a beach wedding!

So that is all for now friends! We will keep you posted when there is more to know about the wedding! Thanks for asking! Have a great weekend!

He is Just So Amazing!

The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, the wind is blowing, and I’m still breathing. My God is so real. There is no way this immaculate beauty before my eyes was created from some Big Boom. I am blessed beyond compare to be called His daughter.
Watch this video! It will change the way you see what God has right before your eyes.

Wow…

I think I twitter way too much.

If you see my sidebar, you will see that I either twitter way too much or not much at all…

I have too many things to twitter about! My mind runs 1,000 miles a second (it may be possible!).

Ok, to sleep I go…

WAIT!

I am now a member of IN SHAPE CITY! Wahooooo!!

Oh yeah

Work outs like craazy! Just that I  haven’t started.

Tomorrow I will.

8:30 morning work out with my friend Stephanie then 4pm meeting with my personal trainer… Thomas.

I rather have a girl trainer. It’s okay though.

OH!

& I like online shopping!

I just got the mother’s day gift!

Gift wrapped and a special note!

Brilliant! Couldn’t have done it better myself.

No, really, I suck at gift wrapping!

I hope she likes the gift, it was on behalf of the whole sibling clan!

Zuly, Luisito, Sinai, and I.

So… yupp.. I’m just rambling.. nothing wrong..

Ok, just wanted to let you know my sorta agenda for tomorrow.

Nobody reads this anyways, but today . . .  I got 10 views!

God bless you!
