exhaustion & gratitude

I don´t know if someday... I´ll look back & read this. funny how it´s a fun journal-w/o having to keep paper. That´s nice.

I´m so sleepy & tired... pero sólo para recordar: You´ve been sooo good to me this summer God... I´ve recovered well from surgery & I´m totally spoiled. Primero mi Ma y luego mi Papi. y volver de vuelta a mi vida q también me alegra.

Mis manos todavía huelen a cebolla del lunch q hice... estuvieron Ana María y Lore... twas fun. me encantó el herbed quinua!!! Gracias Dios por el libro de ww...! such a good gift! and finding the things in the store I need to cook with!

to sleep. to dream. to love u in my dreams.

I love You Lord.

can I trust You???

"Meditate and ponder these verses. Is Jesus more than just a name to you? Do you adore Him? Do you love Him? Do you trust Him with your life? When our trust is in Jesus Christ we have nothing to fear. Take time today to tell Him how much you love and adore Him. Ask Him to help you trust Him with your fears." Bob Krepps.

Amen. Wow. It´s kind of humbling to realize that my moods are often so "moody," so transient, and how easy it is for me to be full of joy and happy one day and then doubtful/apathetic, the next. But Lord, I do want you. It´s just hard for me to trust You right now, trust that You sustain the universe and that all of this is true, but more so that You care. And that if you care, you really WILL give me what is best for my life. I´m sorry for not trusting you in this.

Which is why I loved this: "Ask Him to help you trust Him with your fears." God, I want to trust You with my fears. You say, blessed is the woman who trusts in You. Help me trust in You Lord. Give me faith. Help my unbelief. You who are good and have compassion and remember I am dust, have mercy on me. Help me trust You with my present and my future. And before I forget.. thank You for meeting me on Sunday at church and consoling me. For telling me that You love me, and You are with me, and that You are still in control of my life and have good plans for me. Help me trust You Lord. Help me believe you.

And I pray for Melissa as well.... Two years ago, when I was a mess, she was holding on to BELIEVE you. So please help her BELIEVE You now, that nothing is impossible with you.... or for you actually. And God of the impossibles, have mercy on Sebastián pls. It´s not impossible for you to heal Him, in fact, it´s quite possible. Please heal Him Jesus if you will. Please ease his suffering, if he needs to go. Have mercy on Him.

There are many things that I don´t understand. But I do know that I love you... please be merciful to me and sustain me. Holy God.

the craziness of life

just to remember... psalm 103. how God met me.

2 wks ago. no time to write. to shout from the rooftop and sing. and sing :).

YOU MET ME. I cried and cried and cried. You taught me that no matter how much I don´t deserve it or think that I do... you love on me. You meet my needs. That´s why you saved me. That´s why I serve U.

Pastor Edison Campaña... WOW. was completely sure you spoke to ME! felt so spoiled by you!!! all was joy.

Then Susan... why exactly did U choose to give me such a sweet friend right now???? pure grace!!! Thank U God. a soulmate!!! It was sooo special!!

So thanks for everything, Lord! It´s so good to pause and reflect in the midst of the crazy-busyness of my days!!! Thank U for meeting me!!!

I love U!!! :) Lover of my soul :). yay yay yay!!! :)

pd. tienes una hija loca :)

hi Lord

hi Lord. well it took me quite a bit of time to get here. Lord, I want this to be between you and me... my ramblings. If I'm going to be online so long, I'd rather it be with you :). Lord I just want to THANK YOU for today. Such a great day. And I was thinking that I don't know why but when I'm happiest, I want to thank YOU and praise YOU because YOU make me glad. And yes, Lord, you have made me glad. There was something else I was thinking about this morning. Taste and see that the Lord is good- blessed are those who take refuge in Him. And I have "tasted" and seen that You are good, God. And I want to take that "taste" to the world, in however flavor it comes, aroma de salvacion y gozo y libertad para los que creen... de vida y paz. y authenticity and truth. I love you Lord and when I am happiest I think of you. And when I can be who I am in you- when I can know and receive your love in abundance, I rejoice and delight in You as I delight in those little things :)- thanks for the reminder!!!- that You have created me to delight in. Maybe it has to do with just being me and with feeling accepted by you... but I think we've moved beyond acceptance. I feel cherished by You. Thank you God. I wasn't sure when I would feel that way again. Thank you Jesus. I feel so happy to be alive and to be your daughter, lover, friend. Thank you for loving my goofy and funny self. I love you.
