Tania's Life

a lot of stuff

2009-02-03T10:14:00.001-08:00

I realized that i have taken up a lot on my plate so i would like prayers to handle everything....in my church i am a teacher for 6-8 graders in sabbath school, im in charge now of the english ministry, im in charge of the counseling ministry, im in charge along with my sister in law of the youth socials, and i have taken upon myself along with help from my husband to go to New York with the youth from our church and preach about Jesus and his love for us!!! i think its going to be an awesome experience and i wish if i could live my life as a missionary woman of God and go everywhere and anywhere to let people know about God! i thank God because every sunday now we are going to the streets in our neighborhood and opa locka (flea market) and preaching about Jesus. Jesus said that our big mission is to preach to the world so im glad that we are doing his will...i could talk about Jesus all day and how great he is!

Good Year!

2009-02-03T10:03:00.000-08:00

I praise G0d because even though last year was not soo great.. this had been a good year soo far! My husband and I both have jobs PRAISE MY GOD ALMIGHTY!! because that is a big load off our shoulders!!!! and we are not stressed about how the bills are going to get paid! i thank God for the people i have met this year in where I am working now..with child support...the people have welcomed me with open arms (this is my 3rd week working here and my last week because i was hired only as a temp...but dont worry because if everything goes well and God wills it i will start working with the department of children and families feb 20!) i praise God because the people at child support have been super nice to me from day one....the lady training me loves me and she is sad to see me go..both my boss and her was me to stay but human resources already hired the permanent girl and i didnt turn my application on time because i didnt even know about it but its ok...i know the department of children and families will open a lot of doors for me and my career...if all goes well i can be transfered to the department of human trafficking which is what i want to do!!!! my boss (the general magistrate Dellow) took us out last week to eat at the intercontinental hotel for me that was something MAJOR because i have never ate there because its super expensive and it was nice of him to invite us! i really am going to miss everyone and i happy that for these 3 weeks i was able to have lunch with my mom like 2-3 days of the week because my job is few blocks away from my mom house so i thank God for everything and for what he has in store for us Almeidas!

Christmas

2008-12-22T07:53:00.000-08:00

ok so christmas this yr was supposed to suck extremely badly especially since my husband and i have been without of work for seven months...i was thinking of canceling christmas!!! i went out wit a friend and she was shopping freely and as soon as i got home i started crying not because i couldnt get anything but because of our financial situation! how is renting going to get paid...how are the bills??? but i prayed and went to sleep...we put up our christmas tree and then i got sad again! because our tree underneath had two fakes presents with lights on them and derwin gift which i bought with money someone else gave me for a xmas present and to pay some bills so i couldnt get myself anything and all i really want for christmas is season seven of smallville or a board game lol and this past friday i was praying and looking at my tree and i was grateful to God for everything we did have like our health, our family, the love between and husband and a wife, friends, my church, and i was praying telling God que me falte todo menos tu! i realized that its not about having gifts under my tree its about having God in my life because the real reason of Christmas is because Jesus was born to bring us salvation so i was happy and satisfied and i felt i didnt have to complain anymore....but God has a funny way of always giving me my desires...i went shopping yesterday with some money my mom gave me and i bought her, my bro, my dad, and derwin a gift even though they are extremely cheap and nothing big at least its a gift and i wanted my family to have something to open up for christmas so im soooooooooo beyond words happy because there are gifts under the tree and my sister in law gave me one and derwin one so thats more gifts so im beyond thankful to God for granting this desire because i dont deserve his mercy and grace but he continues to make me happy even in times of sadness because of that and sooo much more i love my Heavenly Father!!!

The Story Of Brenden Foster

2008-11-26T06:52:00.000-08:00

This little boy of eleven yrs old died last week from leukemia but his life was not in vain...this little boy dying wish was to feed the homeless people he saw on the way to the hospital! can you believe it? a little boy who is dying instead of packing instead of crying instead of being angry all he wanted was to help feed the homeless some sandwiches!!! i wish nowadays we could find people with hearts like Brenden Foster who do selfless things! and its amazing how he knew he was going to die soon...he said ill probably not be here next week but i had a good life and ill continue to have a good life until i leave....i put myself in his shoes and i realized that if i knew i was going to die next week i would NOT be sooooooooo calm!!! i would be freaking out...i would think of all the things i wanted to do...like travel to europe, travel around the world...have babies with my husband...buy a house, etc etc but this little boy all he cared about was feeding the homeless and planting some seeds so wildflowers could grow for the bees...some volunteers gave Brendon his wish and feed 200 homeless people and after that there was this big food drive all thanks to a little boy....its unbelievable the difference on how children think and us older people think no wonder God says unless we become children again we wont see the Kingdom of Heaven because the Kingdom of Heaven is promised to the children and now i understand why because children are not selfish...they have a good heart and no matter how much we punish them or put them on time out...they always come to give us hugs, kisses, and tell us i love you....unlike us..if someone yells at us we would probably never talk to them again!!! we always remember the bad things people do to us and we dont forgive but luckly the children do forgive and forget so lets pray that God helps us become more like children and that we may have hearts like children because all they know how to do is love... God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

It is worth Suffering!!!

2008-11-24T10:54:00.000-08:00

ok so i went on this amazing trip for two months full of victory and the presence of the Holy Spirit...so many people were baptized, gave up addictions, received the Holy Spirit and us the group of 12 come back home to realize its time for the trials!!!!! my husband and i have been without work for 7 MONTHS!!! , not 7 days, not 7 weeks, 7 MONTHS!!! its insane because even if we dont have work...the bills keep on coming...thats the only thing that is constant because it doesnt stop!!!! however i need to Praise the Name of My God Almighty because even with seven months without work...there has always been food on the table and the rent has always gotten paid...how do you ask? well simple God provides...DUH!! but the things just never seem to go our way...my husband and i had plans to celebrate our wedding ceremony this dec and i have everything ready just no money so it had to be canceled...my husband couldnt start school...we had to move back to miami from gainesville and my stress and frustrations keeps on raising!!! and i realized that i did also have a bit of depression but i thank God because even though we are passing through this bad times that just keep getting worse i thank God because i know his plan is perfect...i know that maybe this trial is making me a better, stronger person...and this too shall pass and everything will fall into place and i believe in my God's promises that there is no son who is let alone...if he provides for the birds how much more is he going to provide for us...and if sinners give good gifts to their children...how much better are the gifts the Lord will give us...and if we ask for bread he will not give us a stone...so Praise God for his promises and for his love because its worth it suffering if God is with me!!!

California

2008-05-28T21:15:00.000-07:00

I Praise God because he has been good to me! we went to LA California to see a church that we have over there... and i was in shock when i saw the church because i have only been used to the church in Miami and High Springs were they are big churchs... but LA was a tiny little church but since the moment we walked in and gave thanks to God we felt his presence! it was awesome because God spirit was all around us in that tiny church! people who had been away from church were soo touch that they wanted to get baptized! so praise God!

Arizona

2008-05-28T20:11:00.000-07:00

In Arizona there is only one family of our church and the lady of the house is basically the only missionary there. She lives there with her two children and husband. when we passed by on wed night they treated us like kings! they made a lot of food for us and it had to be the best chicken ever! we ate until we were stuffed.... we showered after a whole day without showering and baby wips werent going to cut it! lol we sang there, gave a testimony, and prayed for them! it was awesome and God presence has been with us the whole time. Praise him!

2008-05-12T00:13:00.001-07:00

I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS!!! I'M SOOO EXCITED AND I LOVE IT! thanks to my mommy she bought it for me!

our apostle

2008-05-12T00:00:00.000-07:00

one of our apostle died sunday night and it was very sad but it was amazing how loved he was... the funeral was in miami and people from mexico, cuban, costa rica, all around the united states came to see him and it was nice how much people loved him. they even had a special service for him. but people were happy because when you are a servant of the Lord we believe in the Lord promise that when we die we gain eternal life in the kingdom of heaven so a lot of people cant wait to be reunited with him in the kingdom of heaven. our prayers go out to his wife and children.

Dios es Capaz!

2008-04-22T06:43:00.001-07:00

Por que ponemos en duda el poder de Dios? Por que se nos hace tan dificil aceptar que solamente El puede mover esa montana de dificultad que tu sientes que te impide continuar? Tantas veces que el Senor se nos ha manifestado, que nos ha mostrado su poder, que hemos palpado su capacidad para hacer cualquier cosa, para llenar cualquier necesidad, por que sera entonces que la duda amenaza en ocasiones con derribar el edificio de nuestra fe?

Dice un himno: "Dios es capaz de hacer todo lo que estamos dispuestos a creer que El puede hacer" y si no hace mas, es porque en nuestra ignorancia, limitamos el poder de Dios a nuestra poca capacidad.

Cada vez que dudamos, Satanas se apunta un tanto. Cada vez que frente a la prueba creemos que no vamos a salir adenlante, nuestrao enemigo recibe aliento para continuar su batalla contra nosotros. El sabe cuando estamos debiles y nota cualquier cambio en nuestra forma de servir a Dios y no pierde oportunidad para hacernos tropezar.

Cuando sientas que flaqueas porque la carga es muy pesada, sabe que Dios es capaz de hacer que el mar se abra frente a ti, de que la pena de agua, de que el mana descienda del cielo. Es capaz de volverte a la vida y hacerte sentir su gloria de tal manera, que tengas que testificar de su poder. Solamente tienes que creer que Dios es capaz de hacer lo que tu creas que El puede hacer.
No dudes del poder de Dios, El es capaz!

dont hold a grudge

2008-04-02T15:54:00.000-07:00

"If you are angry, don't sin by nursing your grudge. Don't let the sun go down with you still angry." Ephesians 4:26

there has been a lot of people who have came into our lives and walk out of them leaving us broken hearted/hurt because we felt we could trust them and yet they betrayed us and hurt us. however being a better person is learning how to forgive and forget... you know why? because we are not perfect... have you ever done something to someone that you loved and hurt them by mistake... what if you truly were sorry but they would not forget that incident or forgive you? treat others as you would like to be treated... if someone hurt you... forgive them because we are not perfect and you and i probably hurt someone and want their forgiveness. also... look at Jesus... us being sinners he died for us... he forgave our sins.. and he is the son of God... us being made of dust... what makes us better then Jesus... why cant we forgive and forget if Jesus forgave us...

pray and ask God to help you and dont curse the one who hurt you... and dont wear your hurt on your sleeve dont give that person the satisfaction that you still care and are hurting about it because it makes them feel important. pray for God ask for forgiveness because we had evil thoughts against them and pray that God helps you get pass it... but just let it go because if not... you keep holding on to the past... when will you have time to look ahead for the future... God bless.

22

2008-04-02T15:29:00.001-07:00

2008-03-10T10:43:00.000-07:00

i cant believe i'm graduating in may its soo close by and i'm sooo happy because i already rented my gown and cap so i'm very happy and excited my family is coming up to see me walk. thank God!

tampa weekend

2008-03-10T10:31:00.000-07:00

this weekend in tampa it was amazing even though it was short. it was nice to see a new church because i had never been to the tampa church before... i am beyond happy that michael rodriguez.. which is only 15... received the promise of the Holy Spirit... he had been waiting even with derwin and i and finally he received soo Praise God! this weekend it was a family weekend...it was nice and they had like a teaching about when you have kids..it was nice but since we dont have children i was like ok... but its very true what he said... when your child ask to play with you... you should never say you are too busy or you cant or dont want to because all your child wants to do is hang out with you and feel that mommy or daddy loves them. and it made me excited for when we have children... because i want us to have all this corny family traditions, vacations, prayers, fasting together, etc. i just want us to be a big part of our childrens lives and never be too busy or tired for them. but its easier said then done!

and i remember my message which says... "todo lo tuyo es mio".. so even my children when i have them will be God's and it made me really happy because even though we have not had them i have already dedicated them to him and i want him to use them for his glory and for them to be humble and faithful servants. may God bless you!

Almost the Sabbath!

2008-02-21T07:15:00.000-08:00

i get so excited about thurs because i have bible studies with Tia Mara and i know tomorrow the sabbath starts. before fridays and saturdays would be my favorite time of the week because it including me going out wit friends or my girls from the 304 and doing stuff that looking back on was a waste of time and not good for me. but now i get to happy that i get to go to God's house and worship him and give him thanks for another week he gave me of life! many people have heard that saying life is short but we just really dont know how short it really is. we have to thank God every single day for being alive because even though we are alive.. there are a lot of people dying that every same day. two weeks ago three different people died in that weekend who i knew. one of them being a man who was a god-father to me, another one who i knew since i was a little girl because my aunt worked for him since i could remember and i would sleep over, and another little person i didnt get to meet but was so excited to think i was. and we should feel lucky if you are reading this because it means God blessed you with another day. and i started thinking what if i were to die tomorrow... am i ready to go to judgement day... am i ready to stand in front of God Almighty and have him review my life. Am i ready to tell God what i did for him or what i wanted to do? i would love to see God tomorrow... even today but i'm not ready to go yet because i have not saved any souls for Jesus. i have not spoken to the world that Jesus Saves... i have not preached that God loves you to enough people.. i'm not ready or worthy to be in front of God yet... but it would be great. when we die i thought it was a sad feeling... someone else who we loved died... very sad and tragic... but God has given them rest! rest from this evil, corrupted, sinful world... a world where everyday people are getting killed, raped, beated, are stressing out to pay bills, or what they are going to eat... we are always on a defense mode because we cant really trust anyone. so when God picks you up.. your battle with satan is over! but did we complete our mission? our mission to get help others find and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior... if you already found salvation and forgiveness... is it fair to be at home and letting satan have another soul! NO! the same way i found Jesus i can help overs find him too! i was an unbeliever! i'm the type of person who loves stuff that is logical! i need things to make sense and to be shown to me why they make sense. but with God... all things are about having faith because all the answers to lifes question cant be revealed just yet... in Heaven you will have all your answers but will it even matter? Just thinking that one day by the grace of God i might even be near him... nothing else matters... what about this and what about that?!?!? who cares! doesnt it matter that God loves you... you who were made of DUST and that God has mercy on us to even call us his children! does that not matter?!?! PRAISE GOD!!!

There was this story i heard in church this weekend and i would like to share with you... a girl was so sad of this world and the devil appeared and told her to sell him her soul for ten million dollars and she said ok and the devil said he would be back the next night to pick it up. she told an elder in church and the elder said that if she gives her soul to the devil she will be lost forever! so she changed her mind and doesnt want to sell her soul anymore so they both start praying. the next night the enemy returns to pick up her soul and she is praying to God please help me i have changed my mind.. then comes in this white light and its Jesus. The enemy said you cant have this soul i have paid ten million dollars of it but Jesus says i paid for her soul with my life! Praise Jesus because he died for you... so its only fair for us to live for him!

Let us be ready for when Jesus returns that we may stay on track trying to help lost souls find there place in the kingdom of heaven with our Heavenly Father!

church songs

2008-02-21T07:09:00.000-08:00

in church when they start singing i get excited because i love praising God and its crazy how a single song can touch you so much that makes you cry. and i start thinking wow i'm such a cry baby but its because i feel God presence and the Holy Spirit is moving freely and how can i not cry out of joy! i love my God and his spirit that is inside of me wants more and more of him and just gets so happy when we are praising him!

and some songs are just how you are feeling at that moment or describe your situation but it all involves God being there for you or how we should live more for him! i wish i could sing him a million melodies like the angels do and even though my voice is horrible and i know God loves it when i sing for him (in my own house, no one is there except derwin then he starts complaining so i have to stop lol) because he knows it comes from the heart and my intentions are good i was want to glorify him! May God bless you!

church

2008-02-20T14:12:00.000-08:00

when i started visiting derwin church in 06 i was positive i was never going to be apart of it! and it was insane how the service is almost 2 1/2 hours long! it was crazy and boring and a lot of singing and someone saying Jesus loves you blah blah blah! NOW its like i'm eating my words! i Praise God because he touched me, he blessed me and now i'm after him like white on rice! i want to be in church every single day of the week, month, yr! we go to church on fri, sat, and sunday and yet it is not enough. 2 1/2- 3 hours of church is not enough anymore it doesnt satisfy me! i have fallen so in love with God and i cant wait until Jesus returns because i'm not going to be those people who are running and hiding in the caves hiding from Jesus' wrath like the bible says.. i'm excited and ready for Jesus's return because i'm his child and i want to see him and be with him and stop living in such a corrupted, sinful world. in heaven there will be no more tears and we will spend our days for eternity PRASING GOD's NAME!!! i cant wait! during bible study tia mara told us that when Jesus returns we are going to be with him for a thousand years and then we would return to earth but before she finished explaining i started crying because i thought i was only going to be with Jesus for a 1,000 yrs and return to earth and it made me sad because i want to spend billions and trillions times millions of years with Jesus and a thousand is just not enough! but what i didnt let her finish was that we were returning to pick up the people who changed their minds and accepted Jesus. so i am going to be with him Forever! (God willing)

now i want to be involved in church, i want to preach, to sing (God willing he will give me a voice), to tell people Jesus loves you because he really does love us. who else would die for you? would you die for someone who didnt believe in you, who you didnt even know? Jesus is beyond anything i can describe and i hope i can be used to tell others about him. i want to always praise his name and i want my last breathe to be used to spoke of Jesus and his love. May God bless you!

preaching

2008-02-05T06:48:00.000-08:00

God willing i will be preaching this sunday and i'm a bit nervous because my spanish is not perfect but i know it will be the Holy Spirit speaking and not i because he has told me so and i have faith! i hope people understand what i am saying and that at least one person is touched with my message that i received from God in a dream. may God bless you!

directed

2008-02-05T06:33:00.000-08:00

i directed this past sunday service and i was sooo nervous! but everyone said i did it very well and once i started i didnt want to stop talking lol but i had to because people had to sing. the title was "tell me about Jesus". what is means is that we need to tell others more about Jesus for the people who dont really know the whole story or the background and the purpose of Jesus and God's beautiful and perfect plan! A lot of people do not realize that Jesus came to save the Jews but since the Gentiles which is people who are not Jews had more faith in Jesus and actually believed he is the son of God, Jesus gave the Gentiles an opportunity to find salvation too. So we who are not Jews are adopted to this promise God made with Abraham because we had fatih.

We who are the people teaching need to understand what Jesus would do: heal sickness, cast out demons, preach the word, brought people bought up from the dead because we who have the Holy Spirit have the same powers that Jesus has. and if we have faith we can move mountains. And Jesus came to save us but his purpose for us is to do the same works he did but greater because now he is with his father in Heaven sitting at his right hand side. John 14:12 Truly, Truly, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. and our great commission is to "'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.'" Matt 28:19-20
and it says it in my message when i received the Holy Spirit that the Great Commission is to baptize people who believe and repent.

crazy

2008-01-30T08:14:00.001-08:00

it's so crazy i remember being in disney for new yrs and now its already gonna be valentine's day! wow on may derwin and i will have been together for two years! its crazy because time flew at the same time i feel like we been together forever cuz now we are married but yet i feel like the yrs went by so fast i didnt even feel it! i'm soo excited to see what the Lord has for derwin and i in the future!

directing service

2008-01-30T08:07:00.000-08:00

i am soo nervous about directing service this sunday and preaching the next but God has told me dont fear for i am with you! however i am soo excited to do it! i been wanting to preach, to direct, i want to be in the choir (pray for i to get a new voice!) i want to do anything that involves God! i been giving bible studies to my brother and i love it! i want to do missionary work i just want my life to be about God and derwin :o). even though i'm terrified of public speaking... it will not be me who speaks but God's Holy Spirit in me and i should trust him because he has told me not to fear! even though i am kinda dissappointed about not preaching this friday because preaching on fri and sat is soo huge and major because the whole church is there and the preacher is the main event! and i feel that my message everyone should hear not just the couple of ppl who show up on sundays! but watch one day i will preach on fri because it will be God's will. may God bless you!

i'm not worthy!

2008-01-10T20:54:00.000-08:00

today i was soooooooooooooo sad and i just wanted to be touched by God and oh boy did he touch me! i was in class praying that he would speak to me and he did and i asked him... God do you love me? and he said mi hija yo te amo! and its amazing how good he is to me! i def feel like an outcast in school because now i dress differently, i cover my head because i'm praying or speaking to God or reading the bible in class so people look at my head weird. and i just want to run to the ppl in church where we have the same love and focus. but i have received God's Holy Spirit because he had mercy on me and how many ppl can say that? so i have to be the light on the darkness and like my husband said.... how can i shine if i'm hiding. i just have sooo much love for God and i wish ppl knew how much love he has for us. God wants to bless us because he loves as so much! look at the mercy he has on us! he has not destroy us even though our world is corrupted and full of sin! we have to be grateful to have a healthy family, a home, food to eat and that is because its God's will to bless us individually. i am not worthy of what God has done for me! God please help me touch those who need you in their life. tonight i had a five hour bible study and it was the most amazing, most fun i have had in a while and we felt it went by sooo fast and i was dizzy and had a headache and God made it all go away. the bible holds sooo much wonders that i wish all the people own a bible so they could read the TRUTH! and not have other ppl lie to you! God have mercy on the ppl who have not met you yet! te amo padre mio!

a song for my fam/friends who need God

2007-12-27T20:47:00.000-08:00

"Here I Go Again"
Father, hear my prayer
I need the perfect words
Words that he will hear
And know they're straight from You
I don't know what to say
I only know it hurts
To see my only friend slowly fade away

So maybe this time
I'll speak the words of life
With Your fire in my eyes
But that old familiar fear is tearing at my words
What am I so afraid of?

'Cause here I go againTalkin 'bout the rain
And mulling over things that won't live past today
And as I dance around the truth
Time is not his friend
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love Him
But here I go again, here I go again

Lord, You love him so, You gave Your only Son
If he will just believe; he will never die
But how then will he know what he has never heard
Lord he has never seen mirrored in my life

This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
This might be my last chance to tell him
That You love him
You love him, You love him

What Am I so afraid What am I so afraid
What am I so afraid of?
How then will he know
What he has never heard

psalm 119

2007-12-27T20:30:00.000-08:00

"I will speak of your testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed. " my friend from church told me to read psalms 119 and i asked her why and she said i do not know what you will get from it.... so i read it and it was as if God was speaking to me! because the whole chapter is about keeping the commandments and giving your testimonies! but i hate giving my testimony especially in front of church! i'm sooo shy and nervous and i always cry lol but he was telling me that "I will speak of your testimonies also before kings and will not be ashamed. " So even to kings i will give my testimony on how God has changed my life and will not be ashamed. so i gave my testimony in front of church and then they picked me to pray about keeping the commandments in front of the whole church! it was crazy how God talks to us! he is soo awesome! and its nice to hear later on when ppl come up to me and tell me how my testimony touched them :o)

having a lil bit of faith can save you

2007-12-22T17:55:00.000-08:00

in church this message touched me completely! why should i doubt about wat God can do in my life?!?!!? having a lil bit of faith saves sooo many ppl... believing in God is about having faith... knowing there is someone there without seeing him... loving him wit all ur heart without seeing him... in the bible this woman was sick for 12 yrs where she would not stop bleeding from her private part and she was rich that she was able to go to all these doctors but no one cured her... when Jesus was passing by her city and she believed that by just touching his garment she would be cured and she was!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus said who touched me... was he was in a crowd of people a lot of ppl where touching him.... but since this woman had faith... power left his body and he told her... stand up... for your faith has cured you go in peace.... PRAISE GOD I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES U TOO!!!

i love my husband

my new family

my cousin Jenny (from derwin's side lol)

I'M BACK!!!

2007-12-03T16:04:00.001-08:00

so i have sooo much to say so let me just start! thanksgiving was amazing!!! i truly did marry into the bestest family ever.... derwin family is sooo awesome and soo loving and boy do they know how to cook a turkey!! and their corn bread was delicious!!! and my mommy made gallo pinto it was soooo good! i got to spent time wit my mommy i was soo happy but since she had my uncles over she was stressing playing host... pobrecita!

BLACK FRIDAY WAS CRAZY!!! i thought it was crazy and full of ppl last yr in gainesville but it was nothing compared to miami where there were thousands and thousands of ppl!!! did i mention there were thousands!!! but we got great stuff soooo i was very happy but sleepy!

my mother in law and i were already to go to the movies together without derwin and got really close :o)

i got to see helena and the baby.... he is not a baby anymore he is soooooo huge!!! and no matter how much time has pass or how old she gets (22 this yr!) she will always be my tigger!

then coming back from a great thanksgiving i came home to get sick... being dizzy and throwing up and no i'm not pregnant thank u very much... just a virus called vetro i think lol

granted

2007-11-17T20:17:00.000-08:00

have u ever thought that u take ur life for granted?!?!? this friday in church it was sooo sad about the ppl we were praying for... a woman from church her son went to mexico on vacation and a truck crashed into him and now they are going to have to cut off his legs! it was sooo heart breaking i was praying soo much for him that i felt his pain and broke down and cried and cried because its soo sad to think that during ur vacation... something so terrible like that would happened and u r gonna have to lose both of ur legs! i was praying for God to give him the courage to understand things and to see light in the darkness and that if they still have not cut off his legs i pray that God would help him walk away because our lord is sooo powerful that wit a touch of his finger he would be cured!!! then we were also praying for ppl who had cancer! it was sooo sad how much ppl have cancer and tumors! its horrible to imagine all those ppl! i give thanks to MY HEAVENLY FATHER that i do not even have a cold and some ppl are dying! please pray for those ppl who are sick... for that boy who might have his legs cut off and continue to seek our Father because he is our strength, our hope, and gives us the will to carry on wit this corrupted world!

2007-11-15T06:27:00.000-08:00

"Do not ask the Lord to guide your footsteps if you're not willing to move your feet."

its true sometimes we want God to solve all our problems and take away our sadness and we want and want and want from God but yet we do not give any in return... is that fair?!?!? lets say not just wit God but if you had a friend that only called u when they needed something and only when they were in trouble and needed your help... would you want to pick up their call or help them out? personally i'm trying to be a better person, but to that friend that only calls me when they need a favor or are in a jam... i'm gonna get tired of picking up their phone calls... especially if when I CALL THEM and they do not want to hear me or just ignore me... i would be soo angry! but our Lord is soo forgiving that he will forgive us but it is not fair for you to call him only when u need help... and when he asks of us.. we are not willing to give back...

if you ask something from God and he does not answer your prayer... maybe you should think about what u r giving to him or if u have ever given anything to him... he wants a relationship wit us... he is my father and he wants his daughter to love him and i do with all my heart but i should not abuse the love my father has for me with only wants and wants instead of needs.... instead of praying for more money, better car, better house... ppl should be grateful to have a home or to have a car even if its not a 2008 lexus... and pray for the people who are homeless.. pray for the children who are hungry... pray for the people who are dying and no one is helping them.... if u say a prayer and its not about ur wants but its about someone else's needs trust me it makes you feel sooo good inside... bcuz u stop thinking just about yourself and u think about other ppl who need a lot more prayers than u do.... and remember to give back to our father by having a relationship wit him through communication... reading the bible... and making a sacrifice like fasting and its sooo amazing how just 3 lil things can change ur life! and our God will not feel just used when ppl are in trouble but he will realize that u do love him like he LOVES US :O)

TURKEY

2007-11-12T08:51:00.000-08:00

NEW LIFE

2007-11-12T08:38:00.000-08:00

this weekend i got BAPTIZED and it was amazing!!! i let go of a life full of sadness, loneliness, regrets, and Jesus gave me a whole new life and took away all my sins! he took all my sins and cast them to a sea! i am sooo happy for this opportunity which i didnt think i ever deserved because i at first didnt believe in God but now i Do KNOW that he does exist and is sooo real and continues to touch me!!! :o) i do hope he has big plans for me to do his will because i am ready for whatever battle as long as i get to serve my LORD! may GOD bless you!

East to West

2007-10-31T13:47:00.000-07:00

Lord, please forgive me for my sins. and know that i did not do them to hurt you. i am human and i am weak. i want to be changed and i want to become an instrument used for your will. i really do want to help others for them not to feel hunger, sickness, sadness, hurt, for them never to be miserable and i want to be used to help those who need you! i want to be changed i want to be cleaned i want NO I NEED YOU IN MY LIFE! and i want to thank you for still being by my side and i hope to make you proud some day because all these words are sincere... i want to do your will... please LORD tell me what i need to do... please tell me how to help others not feel lost anymore... i need you

"East To West"

Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't want to end up where You found me
And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight
I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west
'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the other

I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin
Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in
Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way

I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light
I need Your peace to get me through, to get me through this night
I can't live by what I feel, but by the truth Your word reveals
I'm not holding on to You, but You're holding on to me
You're holding on to me

Jesus, You know just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been come rising up in me again
In the arms of Your mercy I find rest
'cause You know just how far the east is from the west
From one scarred hand to the otherOne scarred hand to the other
From one scarred hand to the other

Praise You In This Storm

2007-10-31T13:37:00.000-07:00

sometimes for no reason i'll feel this complete sadness and just want to cry and cry! or maybe i'm having a bad day and nothing is going my way. i just cry and cry and i feel like no one would understand how i feel. but i know LORD you do... and i wonder when i cry why did you leave me to be so sad but its because "i barely hear Your whisper through the rain, "I'm with you"' and i realize you are with me and i start praying, listening people who praise you and once again i feel happy and complete. i need to realize that i'm just a human no one special... i'm alive today and will be dead tomorrow... but somehow you LORD still care about you... about my silly wants instead of needs and i want to thank you for having patience wit me and i love you and i hope other people will see how POWERFUL your love is and how it can change a life completely for good. :o)

"Praise You In This Storm"
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find YouAs the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

Shar Jackson

2007-10-18T19:51:00.000-07:00

On Thursday night’s episode, Jackson, 31, performed her original rap “Let it Blow.” About halfway through the song, she rapped, “They should’ve had me open up on the VMAs,” referring to Spears' dismal Video Music Awards performance, and the crowd erupted into cheers.

when i saw her perform her song and she said that about the VMAs i started jumping up and down saying NO SHE DIDNT it was awesome!!! i'm sorry for brittany but brittany did take shar man while she was 8 months pregnant so i guess she was allow to speak her mind hahahahaha it was awesome and now for everything i keep saying "they should have had me open up on the VMAs!!! lol

yes i am crazy hahahahahaha

BE CAREFUL!

2007-10-18T19:36:00.000-07:00

BE CAREFUL OF THE SATAN!!! what i learned today is that satan was the most beautiful angel that GOD created and the third in line. he was after JESUS, so satan is very powerful. and the devil can present himself to u as an angel of light... so be careful if an angel ever shows up to u and if he tells you to bow down to him (its the satan) or if he tells you something that is sinful or against the bible its the satan!.... the only way we can defeat the devil is by knowing verses from the bible... an important one is psalm 23 "The lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul, he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yeah, 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, comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, you anoint my head with oil, my cups runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of THE LORD FOREVER."

satan is beautiful its not a scary lil creature wit a tail so do not let beauty deceive u!!! or take you away from the LORD or his words! know that GOD is the truth and how my future father-in-law loves to say, GOD is the alpha and the omega he is everlasting! put your faith in the LORD and you shall live forever! :o)

amazing!

2007-10-18T19:23:00.000-07:00

after bible study its sooo true.... it makes u feel amazing!!! and PRAISE THE LORD for sending mara to help me realize my hunger for THE LORD!!! and i learned that i want to marry GOD!!! he is merciful, just, THE TRUTH, and love and he will never change!!! would we not want a man who will NEVER change?!?! he will continue to be perfect and love us for ever and ever? he is there to listen to us and only want what is best for us because he gave up his only son for the love he has for us?!?!? what other man will ever love us more than THE LORD! this is why i am going to marry THE LORD because he loves me and i love him! and i'll also marry derwin if its god's will but THE LORD will be my #1 god willing!

desperate housewives!

Story

2007-10-17T10:40:00.000-07:00

my mom told me about an email that she received from my cousin about a story that a married couple were fighting in front of their 5 year old daughter. the father shot his wife and then killed himself and left their daughter there. their neighbor which was a christian woman took her in and raised her as her own, and she took her to a christian school and told the people there to have patience with her because her family was not religious and she was never exposure to any of this. so one day the teacher was talking about Jesus and show a picture to the little girl and asked if she knew who that was... she said yes, he was hugging me when my parents were fighting. :o) (message learned that the lord will always be there for us during our hard times!)

another story that my mom told me was about a mother whose son died from cancer at a young age. the mother was yelling and screaming and asked god where were you when my son was dying?!?!? then a letter fall from heaven and it was from her son. it said... god lend me a piece of paper and pen and only you can see what i wrote and god wanted to let you know that when you asked where he was... he was bringing me to heaven and taking away my pain. i am in a better place now.. more peaceful and i will protect you aways from here. god was with me during all my painful moments and he took them away. (when she read this one to me it made me cry and message learned is to never blame god because he is always there to take away our pain!)

Marriage

2007-10-13T20:27:00.000-07:00

And that a man should leave his father and mother, and be forever united to his wife. The two shall become one—no longer two, but one! And no man may divorce what God has joined together. Matthew 19:5-6, TLB

"And you husbands, show the same kind of love to your wives as Christ showed to the church when He died for her…That is how husbands should treat their wives, loving them as parts of themselves. For since a man and his wife are now one, a man is really doing himself a favour and loving himself when he loves his wife! Ephesians 5:25-28, TLB

"You husbands must be careful of your wives, being thoughtful of their needs and honouring them as the weaker sex. Remember that you and your wife are partners in receiving God's blessings, and if you don't treat her as you should, your prayers will not get ready answers." I Peter 3:7, TLB

"You wives must submit to your husbands' leadership in the same way you submit to the Lord. For a husband is in charge of his wife in the same way Christ is in charge of His body the church. (He gave His very life to take care of it and be its Saviour!) So you wives must willingly obey your husbands in everything, just as the church obeys Christ." Ephesians 5:22-24, TLB

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.--Ephesians 5:21-33

Stay positive!

2007-10-13T16:45:00.000-07:00

that was the message of church today to stay positive and be holy because at the end its worth being in god's kingdom or believing in the lord! there is a story in the bible how a man who was on a wheel stair waited 38 years for a miracle.... 38 years thats the majority of his life! after 38 days or hours the majority of people would give up!!!! its because every year god sent an angel to a lake and whoever went into the lake first... would be cured of all his sickness or disease so forth... so that man waited for 38 yrs because one does not know when the angel would appear, however; other people waited and who could walk... would cure themselves instead of helping the man that could not walk.... but that man kept his faith and kept waiting... so one day jesus walked to the lake and saw this man and saw his faith (38 YEARS!!!!) and asked him, what is it that you want... he said to be cured and be able to walk... and with jesus holy words that man walked!!!!! and i'm pretty sure he said it was worth waiting for the lord!!! this is what we have to do... stay positive especially when we have challenges and keep on praisin the lord because when we are finally with him in his kingdom... we are def going to say it was worth waiting for our lord!!!! may god bless you :o)

so i went to church tonite and i feel like everything they were singing, praising the lord, and preaching it was god talking to me!!! they were saying how the people who make glass, put the glass through fire to mold it to it place... so basically the fire are the challenges us human have to go through to be more christ-like! and my challenge now is to get to grad school at uf even if i have people tellin me that i cant and it hurts. another thing that they sang about was that everything is god's will not mine or yours but god's! so if it's god will for me to get to grad school it will happen and if it doesnt happen, then it was not god's will and i have to accept that! because everything we do has to be to please god and what more can we give him if he created us!!! another thing is to love the people who hurt u and not wish them that same hurt that u received because not everyone is the same and some may not be able to handle the challenges you can so they might get into depression and might even commit suicided. so always pray that whoever hurts you does not suffer like you did. jesus suffered for us and yet he still prayed for us and loves us so it is only fair for us to love those who hurt us! so even though i think that lady was mean and other bad words i should pray for her and wish her only the best! because to know god is to know how to love others!!! and remember that yes we are sinner but we have good in is because god is good and is here now and for eternity!!!! and he was here before the devil and he will still be here after the devil is gone so remember that u have good in u!!! :o) may god bless you

2007-10-12T14:15:00.000-07:00

so today i went to the psychology building to see wat requirements i need to be accepted at grad school since i'm majoring in criminology but i want to be a child psychologist! so the lady was completely negative! she was like no u wont get accepted cuz u need at least a 3.8 gpa.... i have a 2.97 so now i want to drop out of school thanks lady!!! and i need a 1400 on the gre wat the hell?!??! i want to go into counseling talking to a child... not freaking discovering a new species, its not like i'm going to med or genetics!!!! and then she was like even if u r a hispanic it does not matter cuz there r a million hispanics in uf! she was just negative about everything... she was supposed to be a psychologist and know how to talk to people to not make them want to die or feel like a failure!!! but u know wat lady... god is on my side so if its his will i will get accepted and numbers wont matter cuz all i ever wanted to be is a psychologist! :o) may god bless u!

Its so crazy how time flies by!!!!! it felt like just yesterday when derwin and i meet each other again through myspace now we have been together for a yr and almost five months and we have been living together for almost a yr!!! i am graduating in may (god willing) and HELENA HAS A BABY!!!! (who is over 3 months old!) I remember when i had just found out that she was pregnant and man it felt like FOREVER until jayden was born....but now he is gonna be 4 months old (TIME FLIES!!!) sadly i still have not seen him yet but pics r great. MI MONA IS MARRIED!!! my monkey is all grown up and a wife! and loves now living in tennessee and next yr hopefully i am moving to TEXAS!!! its sad to say but wow i'm turning old...my next birthday i will be 22 then its all down hill after that!!!! and even though everyone has new lives, helena a mommy, and ana a wife, i still remember when we all went to disney for my birthday and had an amazing time!!!!

Thank You Derwin

2007-09-30T12:35:00.000-07:00

baby i want to say thank you for always being there for me, for making me a better person, and finding out what real love is all about, thank u for being MY INSPIRACION!!! thanks to you i have been doing better in school, thanks for helping and supporting me in lossing 22 pounds, but most importantly thank you for helping me find GOD. i didnt believe in him or wondered why did he forget about me, but now i realized that this whole time he was holding on to me, i just kept walking away from him. i feel so much happier now, drinking going clubbing isnt for me anymore, listening to CASTING CROWNS makes me happy (even a lot better than sex on the beach lol) but mi amor you really do complete me even if it sounds cheesy!!! i cant sleep without u, thats y i wait until u get out of the comp, i love waking up wit u even wit ur morning breathe lol and even if i complain about going downstairs to lock the door when u go to work, it feels amazin when u hold me and kiss me and tell me u love me before u go to work. and thanks for not givin up on me cuz i can be naggy or bratty and i can get on anyone nervous but u love me so thank u because i love u too and cant see my life without u.

Helena's Fault

2007-09-30T12:25:00.000-07:00

i basically got this because of helena lol i really dont know what to write about i am more of ask and i'll tell lol sooooooooooooooooo yea lol ummm go see the kingdom it was a good movie and it made me want to learn more about different religions and look up to see why killing yourself gives you 7 or 70 virgins?!?! so what i learned was that muslims do believe in just ONE GOD and they call god "Allah" which is interesting cuz i thought they believed in many gods. well enough about religious stuff dont want to get into too much trouble here...

helena: how do i write to the blog from my phone?
