God is faithful

Hello brothers and sisters,
I ask an apology for not writing sooner. What happens is that it takes me a  long time to write because I have to think in English.
I want to tell you that many things have happened. As you know, December 10th was my birthday, and like every year, many thoughts come to mind. I remember my past and everything that happened to me. I know that my birthday should be something to rejoice, but there is so much I have to heal. For example, I do not like the idea of having to spend a weekend with my birth mother, I hate having to look into her eyes and see the pain she has in her heart. I hate having to remember everything I saw, heard and lived with her. My mom (Julie) told me I have to allow God to restore my life and heal the wounds in my heart. But guess what? I did not listen to her and I thought she was crazy. But, she is right! Time is passing, and I am realizing that while I'm stupid and I keep resisting for God to heal my heart, Satan is having a party.He is making fun of me,  of my pain and I'm sure he is saying, ¨ If I could not see her prostituting on the streets, taking drugs, drinking beer and dead, I´ll see her suffering every time she remembers her past. Where she came from and what her God allowed to happen¨ I can hardly recognize that God allowed everything that happens, because He is faithful and I know He has something wonderful for my life. Satan can no longer harm me because I am a child of God. He is my Savior, my Refuge, my Strength, my Life, my Lord, my all.  The Bible says ¨I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right,  And that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. Psalm 119:75¨   
   Don't  you think it is wonderful that God loves us so much that in His loyalty He  afflicted us so that we can grow? I think so. God is so great that he knows what is best for us. He loved me first, so I must love my mom. He  forgave me first, so I must do the same thing to her. God died for all people, He loved the whole world.He makes the sun rise for fair and bad people. He sent his Son Jesus to pay for the sins of all people.  So why not love those who hurt me? It is very difficult to accept that I have to love and forgive my mom, but  I know is the right thing to do.  I do not promise that I will not think about my past. But I do promise that I will not let Satan use my past to hurt me. No, not anymore. I ask you guys to pray for me and my family. God is good with us, we are great here at the Refuge, but we (all of us) need God to heal our hearts, so that we can be and do what He wants us to be and do.
Love you guys lots, God bless you and your families.

Preaching the Gospel

This weekend, I went to my best friend house. She told me we were going to talk about Jesus to other people next day. So we went to share the love of Jesus. I am surprised, because I had all kinds of people. Some of them, with an open heart and willing to listen, others simply turned their backs on us and ignore us. However, we gave them a smile so they could see the love of Jesus. This encouraged me to continue preparing so one day I could  help many people. I learned that you can show the love of God in many ways, not just say "Jesus loves you" but show it.. You may be surprised when  you give them a sincere smile, they might believe in a living God, our God. I encourage you to always show the love of Jesus to all people. Maybe sometimes you feel like you do not want to smile, but if you do, you can make the other person smile. I am very happy to share this, I will smile no matter the situation I'm in.. God Bless you very much. and remember, *SMILE* 

My Wonderful Father

Hello, This week has been a wonderful week.. You might wonder why? The reason is that it is  incredible how a parent can influence in your life. For me it has been hard not to think about my biological father, I've never seen  him in my life. Sometimes I have crazy ideas like wanting to go and see him, ask him why he did what he did. But this week I learned something very important, I learned  about Joseph and his brothers. Everything bad that his brothers did to him, was for something wonderful. All this was within God's plans. I learned that everything bad that happened to me was for something wonderful, Today I have a father, a wonderful one,  one who loves me and I love him with all my heart. Maybe I don't know my biological father, but I have a wonderful one,  and that's better than nothing. You see? I have a wonderful father. God bless you...
 

What Faith Can Do

Have you ever noticed what a little faith can do? If not, let me tell you that I've seen what a little faith can do. I've seen miracles in the lives of every member of my family. You might wonder why? But the truth is that each of them is a miracle. We were in the clutches of Satan, but our God rescued us and put us in a home. We were without parents, without attention, without food, without clothes, without love. But with a little faith, Jesus brought us out of where we were. He is my hero, my best friend. I thank God for the life of every member of my family. They are a miracle. I love getting up every morning and know that I have another day to enjoy them. You may not know what I'm talking about, but if you keep reading my blogs, you will know what a little faith can do. God bless you.
