March ahead with confidence in God’s word. - Scriptures for my daughter

-

I believe in celebrating birthdays and feasting with family and friends. I also think the best thing any parent can do is pray for and encourage their children daily. During March I posted Scriptures each day honoring my daughter’s birthday.  My sole purpose in doing this is to remind her that our every need is answered by God and we see evidence of it in His word, the Bible.  Proverbs 22:6.

Thanks to the ministry of Bible Gateway for providing online Scripture.

The top 10 things I know about God - Psalm 118:14

-
April 30, 2011 Psalm 118:14 The LORD is my strength and my song. He is my savior. On May 2, 2011 I celebrate five years since the Lord changed my life. As I look back, I realize that these have been the most on-purpose and fulfilling years of my existence. I will be recording the journey in a detailed way so that I will always remember the things God has done for my family, but I want to share the following things that I know for sure. 1. I am not the person I was 2. I have unshakable peace through storms 3. God is real; God is personal 4. God wants to know our hearts and he wants to share his heart with us, consequently Bible study and sharing with believers is vital 5. God eases us into the journey with him 6. If we are serious about passionately serving him, God will make radical changes in us – it’s called sanctification and it’s not easy 7. God will clean up the hurts of our lives so we can be effective in representing him 8. Expect conflict, your own sin ...

Reflecting on the Papal election and my childhood

-
Image
March 16, 2013 My First Communion Day with Tia Lupita  I was born into a deeply devout Catholic family  so it was natural for me to be moved by the selection of a new Pope.  We attended Spanish/Latin Mass at 7 a.m. every Sunday and I went to Catechism class each Wednesday (when I  didn't  play hooky with my best friend...sorry grandmother). J   I also celebrated my First Communion, Confirmation and  Quinceañera   with full blown Mexican-American family celebrations. My mother celebrating my Quinceanera with me. It was a big deal. Along the journey, most of the family left the church except my mom.  We found different congregations to fellowship and worship the Lord.  I dropped church and belief in God altogether for many years. But I returned to the Shepherd’s fold when my child was born, for her sake I say, but God caught my heart and that was a game changer – I fell deeply in love with the Lord. We ...

If not you, then who? 2 Corinthians 4:1

-
Good Friday, April 22, 2011 2 Corinthians 4:1 We don't become discouraged, since God has given us this ministry through his mercy. It doesn’t matter how close you are to God, at some point you may feel discouraged and elect to take a break. Take a short break, pull yourself together and make sure you stay connected to God because you are needed for the purposes for which He made you. That has become quite clear in my journey. Real dependence on God begins when you lay your sins and burdens at the foot of the cross. Once you reveal your true heart to God, he opens doors that you can walk through even while storms are raging in your own world. He knows that you are not perfect, but he knows why you were created and where/when he needs you. God works through us to accomplish his purposes. If we decide to shut the doors to the needs of others while we get it together, we all lose. Today I am ministering and encouraging those around me who need to know that God loves them even w...
