Have you ever taken the time to think about FAITH? Me too!
Last month was one of the most difficult to me. Why? Because I decided "to live in Faith", and some of my decisions did not reflect what living in faith really means. To be honest, I still do not know what this means. I am still learning. I am making decisions, I am failing, I am trusting... and the list might continue.

I want to share my story with you. Some time ago, I made a decision, I accepted the job of my dreams. The one that I was waiting for, the one that I was dreaming with. I thought this was the fulfillment of my calling. I filled my heart with excitement, and gratitude because I thought this was "an answer from God". Everything happened so fast that I did not make a stop and asked my Father what His will was. Yes, I know what you are thinking... Big mistake... Big Mistake...
All my friends gave me advice on this perfect job, and my calling and that this was my opportunity to walk on the ocean like Peter and show the world that I was doing what Jesus wanted me to do.
Excitement ... again... I believed their words... Did I run to the Father?... nop.. not yet...
Go, sister, this is from God... there is no doubt. Did I run to the Father?... not yet...
What happened? God never answered the question I never asked Him: Is this Your will? Do you want me to go? Is this your calling for me?
Friends, I learned the lesson.
Faith is believing the impossible.
Accepting this job was something easy, something that I did by my own decision. But it was not what God wanted me to do.
How can I say that I am walking in faith if the source and perfecter of our faith did not know about my decision?

My advice for you who are reading my story today, ASK JESUS BEFORE TO MAKE ANY DECISION.

I failed...one more time

How to start writing this? Well, telling the truth, I failed again, and the picture represents my feelings right now. Every time I sin, I feel like I am in a place where I do not have an escape. I do not want to open my Bible because I know that the Lord will speak to me. I feel like I do not deserve anything, I do not deserve a Word from God. I don't want even to Say, father forgive me, because I do not deserve His forgiveness. I feel so sad and empty. Have you struggled with the same feeling as me? Please say "Yes", I do not want to feel that I am the only one with all these feelings.  The truth is that all those lies come  from the accuser, the one who does not want me to be together with my father. We have so many examples in the Bible. David sinned, he confessed his sin, received forgiveness from God, and knew God still loved him. When we confess a sin, we must believe that 'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins a...

30 Days...

"Show me the way I should go" was my last post and after 30 days of praying and reading the Bible, I can say that there is no better way than the way of Jesus. 30 Days thinking about so many things, one of them, Decisions.  Decisions that I need to make in order to continue with my life. However, it is not always so simple, so easy. I have made many mistakes, just because I wanted to decide according to my own thoughts without asking God what His plans were for me.  30 days that allowed me to make a pause and think about what I did wrong, but also to think about my strengths and the possibilities I have to start again, but this time to start well holding His hand. The  Bible says, that in all our ways know Him, and He will make our paths straight.  So let's start this journey again, holding His hands, knowing Him and allowing Him to make our paths straight. So let´s 'Her ways are pleasant, and all her paths, peaceful. in all your ways know him, and he w...
