April update

I promised myself to blog once a month! So here I am with the April update :) last week, I was thinking that I should blog about how God is preparing for what He has for me, for the better person that He has for me. But, to be honest I haven't been letting God prepare me :-/! I know...
Life is hard and so overwhelming! I kept myself busy! Thinking that if I stay busy, then I'll be moving forward! Meaning getting completely over my ex! But that's not the right way to get over someone! Nor is dating around! I haven't done that! I'm just saying =]
Sadly, I stopped making time to talk to God. I was too busy in the morning and then too tired at the end of the day! I stopped building up my relationship with Him! Then one day I saw on Facebook that a friend wrote that we (single people) shouldn't be waiting around for the right one to come to have the life we want to have! And that spoke to me because I have this vision of how I want my family to be and the role I want to have within my home! A family where mom, dad, and the kids pray, read the Bible, serve The Lord, and evangelize! "Souls, souls :))!" And, then I see myself being the best person I can be! Always trying to put others before myself! just being that person that my husband and kids can trust and can come to me for advice! But anyway my friend on Facebook was challenging us to NOT wait to start being that person! That we don't need to wait to be married to be the best of us! That we should set time apart with God now so when that person comes along, there will be no way that this person could take that time between you and God. And, lastly, to also keep our relationship with God as the strongest relationship we could have! But wow it's hard! Takes effort to make that time to be just with God , but once you do! Wow! You are so glad you did! So I challenge you to be that person you want your spouse to fall in love with ;-)! That person you want your kids to love, trust, and love! Act like a wife, mother, women of God now! You don't need your "right one" next to you to be the best you! Start now! :)

Waiting, waiting

Lately, I have been trying to change the word I received from God... Perhaps he meant not now, maybe later! But nope! I got a very clear crystal answer from God. He said: "He is not the one. I have something better for you!" There is no other way to see it! He is just NOT "the one" I have learned that God will answer us in 3 ways: Yes; Not yet; or I have something better in mind. God told me that he has something better in mind. And that now I just need to patiently wait for that "something better" to come. God is still working in me, but one thing I can share is that God is removing all my feelings for my ex and putting in my heart strong feelings for my future husband. So, this I can say, I love my future husband enough to patiently wait for him. I like to see it as this that I'm at home getting ready and that God is the one preparing me while he is on his way ... So I encourage you to do the same! To patiently wait for "the one" I know is not fun waiting, but I know when you meet "the one" you will be more than glad that you waited :) so wait on the Lord!

Following God's will...

Who was my boyfriend at that time and I decided to ask God to confirm our relationship, meaning to make sure it was within His will that him and I be together... To be honest, at the beginning I was like "oh God bless my relationship and if it is not within your will break us apart" and then I'll continue praying for something else. I wasn't even thinking about what I was really asking God! After my boyfriend asked me if I was receiving an answer from God, is when I realized the weight of what he and I were asking God to do! After that I remember having deep conversations with God about that specific subject... But there was one afternoon, as I was walking inside my apartment, I felt God's authority over my life and it was in that moment I asked God, crying, that I just wanted my life to be aligned in His will that it didn't matter if I suffered, cried, or even if later I ask him to change his mind... That whatever He need to do to align my life to be in His will that I was letting Him do it... It was one of the most honest, open heart, pure prayer I have say to God. Moving weeks forward, I received a word from God. A crystal clear answer. God told me, through a guy I don't know at all, that the guy I was in a relationship with is not the right one for me, that He has someone better for me and that God wanted to keep my heart pure... Hearing that made me feel so so sad... I wanted to receive confirmation from God not that word I got... So, we broke up...
I'm not writing this so you can feel sad for me or that you see me like wow she is such a good Christian following His will. No, I'm writing this to let you know that there is a God, He is so alive, He answers prays, He is helping me and I'm sure he is helping my ex through this sad and hard moment, but in the midst of all the mixed emotions I'm feeling, one thing I know for sure that our obedience will bring blessings! I may not see it now but I know God is changing the atmosphere and moving pieces so that our blessing may come! I don't know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. And my soul rests upon that! I'm letting God be God in every area of my life and I encourage you to do the same! At the end, we are HIS.

Welcome me :)

I while ago I started to think that I should blog...

so, I decided to start today =)

I feel I have so many stories to share, to write about, that can bless others... 

hopefully others will learn from my experiences.

Here is a quick biography of me :)

I am originally from Peru, came to the States in 2002.

Knew "nada" of English. I learned it while attending ESOL classes...

My little sister went to be with God in 2004. 

Got my B.A. in Legal Studies in 2010. 

Moved to Jacksonville, FL in 2011, to start law school.

I'm currently in my second year of law school and writing makes me remember me that

finals exams are coming up quickly; therefore, I should start blogging my life like in the 

middle of December or so (after this semester is over).

Please keep me in your prayers while I study for finals :D Thank you.
