Eggs come from the refrigerator!

Ezra was a little boy, three or four years old by the time I met him, but haven't forgot what I learn from him. I know you're probably thinking: what possible could you learn from a boy with that age?-Well, kids are truly good teachers and you have no idea how cute he was. Now, you have to understand that I love children, to me they are so precious and unique with everything they do and/or say.

I was helping Denise, a teacher in a Christian school at New Jersey, in 2007 when I was living there; I was going for a few hours to the school and at the same time, I was taking the decision of going back home, (Colombia) even though I was talking to this wonderful man who nowadays is my husband. I had a few, but good reasons for not going back but there was no way I could get another visa and did not want to stay here as illegal. One of my good reasons was that I had a job, I was working as an Au pair and I knew that I could not get a job in my country, go to university and pay one more year of classes that I had left. I told God that and He gave me a great lesson through Ezra.

It was a sunny morning and Denise told me that we were going to take the children to play outside, so we did. They had a little play ground and I remember there was a fence so they won't go over the street or the grass area. Ezra was playing in the sandbox when he started saying: "an egg, an egg, I see an egg"-he was right, just across the fence there was a pink egg, fake egg of course; it was one of those eggs that people hide on Easter and that was the beginning of the whole conversation. He looked so excited and happy because as he told me, eggs were their favorite for breakfast; he even told me how he liked them and guess what he have had that morning for breakfast? Eggs!
Kara, another little one got into the conversation because she liked eggs too. I thought it would be nice to explain to them, that what they were seeing was a fake egg and they understood and agreed with me; the discussion got better when I asked them where the eggs come from...As a teacher I thought that I was doing good question them rather that telling them the answer, but what happened was that I was the one getting an answer.

Ezra answered me that eggs come from the refrigerator, and of course, Kara agreed with him; I told them the whole story of how eggs come from hens, my whole explanation was pretty good, according to me, but Ezra was getting upset because I was wrong. While seeing that he was about to cry, I asked him, why he believed that eggs come from the refrigerator and he answered me; "because mommy always get them from there"- ok, so I explained to him that mommy needed to buy the eggs before putting them there, but he did not believe it and that was the end of the discussion just because I had no clue what else to say. I couldn't believe it, but it didn't matter what I was saying, he knew where mommy got the eggs from; that was the important part for him, he was not analizing everything as I was, he was trusting his mom without even getting worry or frustrated because of what his teacher was saying and Kara just agreed with him, why? because that was what she knew about eggs and her mom used to do exactly the same...got the eggs from the refrigerator!
We went back into the classroom and I drove back home; while driving I was listening to some worship music and asking God about what had happened with Ezra and Kara, I just couldn't believe it, was I getting crazy? They were upset for me telling them the truth...according to me of course, but it is true, we got the eggs because of the hens, right?
This was the Lords answer: "I want you to believe in me without questioning, just as they both believe in their moms, I want you to believe in me, don't worry, don't even think about how are you going to get the money to finish your University, I am your Father, I will supply; you probably don't see where the money is coming from and that's why Ezra don't worry about breakfast time, he knows for sure, that mommy will get eggs for him and he knows that she always get them from the refrigerator, but he doesn't worry thinking about how mommy works, and he doesn't ask her where she buy them or if there is hens or not, he knows and trust that there is always eggs. I will provide, just trust me"

I got home and opened my Bible into the following verse: "And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 18:3) WOW! I understood in that moment that it was God's plan for me to go back home, I understood that trusting God was more important that anything else.

-Have you ever seeing children worry because there is no food in the house? No, because they know that mommy and daddy will give them something to eat.
-Have you seen children worry because Christmas is coming and there is no money? No, because they all think about the presents that their parents are getting them, they don't think if there is job or not, they know that their parents love them and will get them something.
-Have you seen them rising up their hands to their parents? Yes, because they want to be carry through when they are tired, when they want a hug, or just when they want to rest.

We need to be like children, trusting that the Lord is going to provide even though there is no possible way in our minds, and trusting that when we rise up our hands, He is ready to pick us up and carry us through.
I am trusting that my Father is carrying my husband and I through my cancer time, through Craig's sickness days, through our sad days and also in the happy ones. I trust Him and I know that He lives, He hears my cry and answers each one of my prayers.

Eggs come from the refrigerator, as simple as that!
I did finish my University studies, last year in Colombia, God did provide!

A Love letter from God

I love how the Lord works; He is faithful! During all of my trouble times, God is being more real that ever and this is a good story of how He loves me and sends me what I call, His love letters.
Yesterday I was sad because I've been tired and sleepy; too much tired and sleepy. I think that the pills that I am taking for my thyroid problem are not working that good any more and then, I got upset. I was SO upset because I wasn't looking to be sick with cancer, and it bothers me a lot the whole situation Craig and I are going throught.
The whole time that all of this health issues started to happen, I've been telling myself that the Lord is fixing our bodies for something great and amazing that He is going to do, just because I believe that's the way He works; the greater the adversity, the greater the blessing! For being focused on our health, I totally forget about the green card and only once, two weeks ago, I told Craig that I was still hoping that we won't need the interview part and that we will get it by mail.

Last night, Craig prayed for us and I woke up feeling SO much better, with energy and feeling strong again; see, people think I am strong, but the truth is that my strength comes from God. After having breakfast, Craig went to work and like five minute after, he came back with the mail; I thought it was just for the welcome letter we were waiting for, because we had got an e-mail last week telling us for the approval of my permanent resident, but it also said that we will get it in the next 60 days...What a blessing for us that this morning we got my green card. Now, for all of you who don't know, we applied for a k1 visa, which allowed me to come and get married and after that, we needed to apply for change of statues, which is a long process. It was in totally 13 months to finally hold my permanent resident card on my hands, and it was not always easy.
This is the part where the love letter from God came; after Craig prayed yesterday, it came to my mind that we can declare good things for us to happen, I was telling God that He could just say it and things will change, but all I hear from Him was: You can also declare good things to happen.
His love letter for me was to get that card this morning, because it is something I was waiting for, it shows me that even though I feel weak, tired or sleepy, He is working; it doesn't matter if there are times when I can't feel Him, in the middle of His silence, He is closest, He is working for the good of those who seek His name. God's love letter are the most incredible blessings I could get, the more powerful letter I could have and in the middle of my sadness I can truly see how He is able to change it into happiness.

Thank you Jesus for your love letter, for showing me how much you care and for my dreams that come true. You are faithful!!!
"He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD" (Psalm 40:3)

A little piece

My husband gave me a book like two weeks ago; I found it very, very good and interesting and during the time that I was at the hospital with Craig, there were some parts from it, that really touched my heart. Maybe that's the only reason for which I am going to share with you a little piece from it. It's call: "The final quest by Rick Joyner" and I encourage you to read it.

"Thought you love all of your children, you would be grieved for the one who was sick or wounded. He, too, loves all of His children, but the wounded and oppressed have most of His attention now" (Page 62)

For His sake we must not quit until all have been recovered. As long as any are wounded, He is wounded" (Page 63)

"Spiritual maturity is always determined by our willingness to sacrifice our own desires for the interests of the kingdom, or for sake of others. The door that requires the most sacrifice to enter will always take us to a highest level" (Page 66)

"God has a different definition of peace and safety that we do. To be wounded in the fight is a great honor. It's by the Lord's stripes that we are healed, and it is through our stripes that we, too, are given the authority for healing. In the very place that the enemy wounds us, once we are healed, we are giving the power to heal others. Healing was a basic part of the Lord's ministry, and it is also a basic part for ours. That is one reason why the Lord allows bad things to happen to His people, so that they can receive the compassion for other by which the power of healing operates. That is why the apostle Paul told of his beating and stonings when his authority was questioned. Every wound, every bad thing that happen to us, can be turned into the authority to do good. Every beating that the great apostle took resulted in salvation for others being saved, healed, or restored." (Page 79)

"Every truth from God leads to an even greater peace and security. Even the judgments of God are to be desired, because all of His ways are perfect.
By now I had experienced enough to know that what seems right is usually the least faithful path, and often the road to failure. Throughout my journey, the path of greater risk was the path that lead to the greatest reward.
The only true security came from continually moving forward into the realms that required more faith, which was more dependence on the Lord.
Yes, it takes more faith to walk the higher realms of the Spirit" (Page 83)

There is more, but this is just a little taste of it; I encourage you to read it. You'll find more on it!

According to His will

"My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." (Matthew 26:39,42,44)

I found that during the last month in my life, I’ve learned so many things from God, even though it feels longer; His presence has been so evident in my life. He has been holding me in such an incredible way that I am surprised for all the good things He has shown me in the storm that Craig and I are going through.
Just last Saturday in the morning I remember getting ready to go and see Craig at the hospital and saying to God: “Lord, it’s a new day, may your will be done upon our lives…again!” It sounds like a simple sentence, but so important for my life because sometimes I forget what I say to Him. He never forgets anything, He knows us so much better that what we think we ourselves know.
I went to see Craig and the doctor stopped by his room to tell him that they needed to do another procedure I didn’t want for him because I had had enough seeing him in pain during five days and didn’t want more. After all the tests the doctors have done on Craig, everything was perfect, all the results came back good but there was still a lot of pain that didn’t come from the surgery when they removed his gall bladder just a few days ago; after hearing that there were no more options, I hugged my husband and started saying to the Lord that I didn’t know how to pray, I was even asking God if for the last week I was praying the wrong prayer and I also told Him, that I was tired, I had no energy left to see my wonderful husband going through so much pain and not being able to do something to take it away. Just in the moment that I finished saying so, I heard so clear His answer: “Remember what you told me this morning, you said that you wanted my will to be done” And that statement was enough to take my weakness away and give me enough strength to be thankful because He was in control.
I, sometimes complain for things that happen and forget for a moment what I had said, what I had asked for. It wasn’t easy, but later on while trying to worship God at the waiting room I said: “Lord, I said that this morning but asking for your will to be done, I didn’t mean suffering” Then He showed me how much He truly care for us, and it was because of that procedure that the doctors did on Craig that his pain is different now. I can see him getting out of bed by himself, walking around and doing things he couldn’t do before. They finally found what else was wrong and he’s home now…Praise Him… in stormy days and in calm times, when all seems gone, when you can’t see, just praise the LORD!!!
God’s will is always the best one even sometimes when we think that it’s not. I sometimes forget about what I asked Him for, but I am truly blessed knowing that He always listens and answers my prayers.

Thank you heavenly Father for such a great love you have for us!!!

Was that a vision or a dream?

Craig said that I dream too much, and it is true! Every morning I woke up telling him about a dream I had, and even sometimes he needs to wake me because I am telling him what I am seeing while we sleep; sometimes, I want to wake up but I can NOT, so I tried as possible 'til he calls me. I used to have a lot of dreams but I think that now they are most often; what I found interesting is that during the last week, while Craig was at the hospital and I was sleeping home alone, I did NOT have one single dream, except Saturday, but it's VERY interesting because I spent that night at the hospital with him. I was sitting on a chair trying to sleep a little bit and I remember SO clear seeing a rope in front of me full with different things that hanged on it; Those things I don't know what exactly they were, but I do know that my heart was broken and I was pushing them away, declaring they were gone and they were just passing by, except the last one.

After feeling worry and sad seeing those things to pass by, I saw a pretty black dress shining, I am not sure what it had on it that make it shine, but that's when I started talking out loud saying that I was going to wear that dress for going to celebrate after all of the situation Craig and I were going through had ended. I immediately told him about it.
Now, I do have a black dress but nothing on it shines and I really don't like the color black that much; the only thing I can tell you is that I haven't seeing a dress like that one. I don't share my dreams with that many people, usually I told Craig or my mom, when I think is something that is going to calm her down, like a dream I had with my uncle after he passed away, where I saw him sitting on a chair, one of those where kings sit on at the movies and how happy he was; I thought it will be good to tell my mom, and in that way some of her sadness will go away knowing that he wasn't here anymore but he was fine, he is happy.

After that Saturday night, I started asking God questions about it, about why do I dream SO much and the Bible verse that keeps on my head is: "In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy" (Acts 2:17-18) (Joel 2:28)

I am not saying it was for sure a vision that God wanted me to have, to see that it was finished, that we were going to celebrate, but I do know that it is something I want to pray about. We came home on Tuesday and we did celebrate, not only the fact that Craig was back home, but we also got an e-mail from the immigration office where they told us that they approved my green card. I did not put on the black dress because I haven't seeing it again, I do have it on my heart and memory, but I did celebrate; Craig and I celebrated!!!
Thank you Jesus

I got mail

Back in 2006, I met an amazing woman in Coronado, CA; she is one of those wonderful blessing the Lord has given me. Her name is Diane, and even though we haven't seen since then, we keep in touch, by phone calls and e-mails. Now that I am back at the States we can mail each other and it's being great! She is SO sweet and God has used her to give me some lessons and to show me more about Him.
For the last weeks, going through this storm with my husband, Diane has been e-mailing and calling me; we pray for each other because we truly believe that there is nothing impossible for God, not even the distance is an obstacle for Him, and where there are two gathered in His name, there He is. (Matthew 18:20)

Like two weeks ago she sent me a letter with a picture of a lion which has as a title: "Lion of Judah" It means a lot to me, because it is him who fight for me; she added the following Bible verse on it: "Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness" (Colossians 1:11) How wonderful was for me to read her letter because I knew the Lord was telling me that no matter how the situation was looking like, He is the one who fight. All I have to do is to be bold, be strong, with patience and always, ALWAYS be joyful. Just before I got her letter, I was praying and the Lord was asking me to wait upon Him; well, Diane's letter was just a confirmation of it because the other three pages were Bible verses telling me about waiting. Now, waiting is one of those hard things to do, but I discovered that when we wait on the Lord's presence, it is SO much easy.

Two weeks ago, I was telling Craig that I wanted to find some frames with Bible verses to put on our walls, but we didn't have time to go and get some and we never talk about it anymore. Yesterday I got another mail from Diane, which was a frame with the word the Lord spoke to me one time, like a month ago, while we were praying by phone. I am SO blessed because she had no clue I wanted those frames, yet God knew and here I have the first one.

COMFORT: Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest...rest for your souls"

How precious is our Lord, who is always caring, who is always loving us and sending us love letters from heaven above. He is a good God, He is faithful!

Old and new friends!

"There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24)

There is no words that can explain my gratitude to those who have been close to Craig and I during this hard time of our lives, but with all my heart, I am thankful with each one of you!!! I know I can't name you all, but if there is something I am sure about is that the LORD sent you in a perfect time to be with us and couldn't be more blessed!

For all your calls, messages on my cell, Craig's cell or facebook, e-mails, letters, cards, thoughts, visits, rides, food, smiles, hugs and prayers...GRACIAS!!!

To those who are new friends on my life, to those who I don't even know, to those who have been close...MUCHAS GRACIAS!!! LOTS OF THANKS!!!

" A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" (Proverbs 17:17)

An interesting twist

Thanks, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you who have been praying for Craig (my husband) and I; we are SO blessed for our great, GREAT family on Christ...YOU!!!
Most of you were praying for us, even without knowing what REALLY was going on and here is the story.
On July 20th, I was diagnosed with cancer, that was on a Monday morning. On Thursday 23rd, Craig went to get an upper endoscopy and while we were waiting there, the doctor told us he needed an ultrasound of the abdomen to look the reason for which he was having pain. So the week after, he went back to get it done and saw the doctor again because his pain was a little worst. He talked to the doctor on his birthday, July 31st, and when he walked into the doctor's office, they had got the results from his ultrasound, which was made just the day before, the 30th; he came back home sad because the doctor had told him that they needed to do a surgery and remove his gall bladder, plus they ordered a CT scan with IV contrast because as the doctor said: "pancreas-tumors-metastasizes" happy birthday, YEAH, RIGHT? I am not sure if you read my blog "storms", it tells you a little bit about that day.

Last Friday he went to get his CT scan done and when he came out of the office, he looked SO scared...What happened?- I asked him. Well, nothing, they didn't tell him a word, except that if there was something wrong they will call soon or if not we will get the results in three days. We went back home and started decided if I was going for surgery on Monday or not; we thought about canceled but we figured it will be better to get done with mine first. During afternoon time, almost 3 o'clock, we decided to make a call so Craig could get in touch with his doctor and schedule his surgery for next week; when he called, they told him that they had got the results...I can't explain to you what he was thinking at that moment, but all I can say is that I saw how the color on his face changed and I just put the computer on the other sofa and hold one of his hands; we were listening to a song, I had just posted on my facebook "My savior My God by Aaron Shust". All that I could hear was: yes and ok and while Craig kept on talking I was praying and playing again and again the same song. Finally he finished the conversation with the doctor and told me: it's ok, the pancreas is ok...Hallelujah!!!! We both said and thank God..."but"- he said-" I have to get the gall bladder remove as soon as possible and my left kidney is atrophy"- well, thank God is "just" that!!!

I know it probably sounds weird, that knowing that he needs a surgery and something is wrong with one of his kidneys, we are thinking that is good, but you have no idea what the last week was like for both of us; and after having such bad results in one test and waiting on a long, LONG week for the other one, we are so thankful with God because He was in control..is NOT cancer...Glory be to our Savior!

During the last week he thought he was dying and I thought so too, but during my time with God when asking Him why? and why? there were words I heard from our LORD and promises I believed with all my heart, and kept on saying over and over, just about anytime I'll get a bad or sad thought and I shared them with Craig. That word from God was my strength.

"This sickness will not end in death. No, it is for God's glory so that God's Son may be glorified through it." (John 11:4)

"Greater is the one who is in me, that the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4)

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me" (Psalm 23:4)

"The LORD is my strength. The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer" (Psalm 18)

"The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you." (Psalm 9:9-10)

"All things work for good" (Romans 8:28)

God was SO wonderful to us on giving this interesting twist to our lives; He gave us His peace that transcends all understanding and showed to me some important things again:
1-The word of God has power, is one of the ways we can rebuke Satan
2-Prayer is powerful and He always hear and answer to us, maybe not when we want or how we want, but He DOES answer us
3-Fasting is a great opportunity for us to decrease and Him to increase
4- No matter what you see or hear, stand in God's promises, He is faithful
5-Do not let anyone or anything to take you away from His presence, no matter what you're going through, hold on Him
6-We need to meditate on His word and wait patiently upon His presence for His answers
7-It doesn't matter what the doctors say, God still has the last word
8-Get on your knees as much as you want, you'll find strength again
9-Thank Him even though, you think there are no reasons at all; there is always blessings to be thankful for; lift your hands and surrender all, even give Him the person you love the most and
10-Live a day at the time

My surgery was canceled and now Craig needs his to be done first! Thanks to all of you who prayed, may my LORD bless you all!!!

Having fun!

Craig and I love doing things and spending time together; one of the thing we love doing is everything that has to do with our LORD, (church, Bible, people, prayer). For the past few weeks, we've been learning more and more about God; this is the third storm we face as husband and wife, we've been married for four month only, and it hurts SO badly but here we still are. We know that the enemy is going to try to hurt us where it hurts the most, but we do know that greater is the one who is in us, that the one who is in the world! ( 1 John 4:4) Amen!!!
During this time of suffering for us, the LORD is urging us to learn more Bible scripture to memorize it, so we got a good idea, which we believe it comes from Him. During the time Jesus was tempted, He answered the devil with scripture. (Matthew 4:1-11) "It is written"- Jesus told Satan and that's how we need to be, we need to use the word of God, we need to truly believe in all His promises. The word of God has power to make us free, to comfort us, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:14-17)

This is our idea for memorizing more Bible verses: We selected three points in our home, where we spend more time. Number 1-Craig' office where he checks his e-mail, does homework, reads and prays; number 2- the kitchen where I cook, of course, and spend a few hours a day (LOL) and number three the mirror in our bathroom, not because we spent a lot of time looking at ourselves, but we thought it's a good place because when we wake up, that's the first thing we see...the mirror! After selecting those "strategical points", we printed a Bible verse in Spanish and English in a piece of paper and put them on those three places. I thought it will be more interesting to learn in both languages at the same time, and since Craig needs to practice his Spanish it will be good...lol We will change it every three or four days, depending in how long it is... The challenge is to be able to memorize it in both languages!
How do we choose the Bible verses? we pray first because we believe God is guiding us through this new learning process! You can try it, it is fun and you don't need to do it in Spanish.

"Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him" (Matthew 4:11)

Little things

I believe that littler things matter and I love to see how my LORD and husband care about those little things I want. They both spoil me SO much and I love it! :) A few weeks ago we were at Apple's bees with some people from church and someone ordered cheese sticks and when we were coming back home I told my husband that I wanted some. Just last Tuesday we were coming from my surgeon's appointment and we stopped by Friday's; when we were locking at the menu and decided what to order the waitress came and my husband said that we wanted some cheese sticks to start, we haven't talk about them, I didn't see them on the menu. I looked at him surprised and asked him why he ordered them; he smiled at me and told me, "I remember you wanted them". Oh, how sweet!!! He remembered and I had said it a few weeks ago, isn't that great? He has that good memory on remembering little things I want or like and it makes me fall more and more in love for him. He truly cares!!!

There is a Bible scripture that says: "The Lord will give you the desires of your heart" (Psalm 37:4) It doesn't say that God will give us the big desires of our heart only and it doesn't say that He will only give us the smalls, it state ALL the desires of our heart. I've been calling my family in Colombia and with all of the news through this storm I feel that I am missing them more than ever. A few days ago I was just telling Craig how nice will be if my mom could get internet in the house and of course a computer in the first place. I don't remember praying about it but I did mention it to God. I was hoping my cousins will get home soon (they're going to live with my mom while going to university), because they have computer and maybe, just maybe they will get internet. I was printing today some Bible verses when I saw on my computer that Vivis (my younger sister) was saying hi; another blessing for me!!! She was telling me that she got a new computer and wanted to talk to me. It was the first time since I came that I saw her and my mom, plus some family member, now I can talk more often with them, isn't God great?
As He pormised:"He is giving me the desires of my heart" He truly cares!!!

My Lord and my husband care for me!!! HALLELUJA!!!!

Surgery

"And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:7)

Sometimes it's amazing to see how God keep us with His peace, but as His word says, it transcends all understanding!!! It's being almost a month since I got diagnosed with cancer and I have to accept that even with that, I can see the wonders of my LORD, His mercy and love upon my life. I was praying and asking Him to do His will and finally today we saw the surgeon, who scheduled my surgery for next Monday...Unbelievable!!! It's something you probably don't want to have but it's ok when you feel that God is with you. The way back home my husband asked me a good question: "why are you happy about getting a surgery? can't believe you're happy about it"- he said. Well honey- I said-the truth is that I am not happy about getting a surgery, but I am happy because God gave me His peace and it's His will, so I'll do it that way.
No matter how crazy it sounds, I know there is hundreds of people praying for my husband and I, asking God for a miracle; maybe some of them will be disappointed that there was not a miracle with getting health, but I am more that THANKFUL with God because when it's done according to His will, it's SO much better that what we can see right now. Yes, I'll have a scar on my neck for the rest of my life, but I'll be alive, I will shout with joy that I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR THANKS TO HIM!!! I'll see that scar as a reminder that it could have been worst but it was NOT.

During the past few weeks, I've felt my heart broken, I've seen how it hurts, I've seen people who love me cried and prayed to God for me and that right there is another reason to be thankful for. It didn't go with getting health without the surgery, which means that God wants me to go through that one, but the most wonderful thing is to know that I am not alone; I have the Almighty one walking by my side, a wonderful husband taking care of me, a lovely family in Colombia getting on their knees for me and a great, GREAT family in Christ, that I din't even know I had, praying for me too. When the LORD doesn't answer the way we want, is the perfect moment for us to trust Him and rest on His will, according to His wonderful purspose for our lives.

I will always praise His name, I'll always pray for His will be done, even though it's not the way I want, because His is perfect, mine is only human; He can see the future, I can only dream about it; He can give me peace that trascends all understanding, I can only give myself worries; He can carry me through and I can only be His precious girl on His arms. Halleluja!!!
"I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High" (Psalm 9:1-2)
