You are...off...Cutting off...Said...

How can I express?




How can I UNDRESTADN?


Was it not all about
HONESTY & TRUST?


I seem to only...
it is as if I can only count up to 3 or 4.

I try to think about the seasons instead.
See...4 are the seasons.
4 are the months of heat,
4 are the months of cold.

Exactly!
what is up with this -in between- time?
what is, anyways, the -intermediate- time?

I am getting too far off.
If I go back..

...What I was trying to say is:


Why hide the truth?

Why break with an immaculate communication?

Why step over a spotless and clean safe table?


If I could go back in time,

the reality is though,

I CANNOT;

honestly, IT MAKES ME SAD!...

...I am talking about the:

..."I can...ot hear...ou wel...
...sorr...eeh...I was thinkin..."

FATHER!

((((((((((FATHER)))))))))

Please be you
the ONE
who restores the communication.

Platform to Obedience

To the voice.

Beautiful words that speak
directly to my heart.


To the voice.

Words that call,
bringing light and wisdom.


To the beautiful voice.

Words containing true depth,
words of love, words that bring passion.

Anchor ; Propeller

Dios de mi corazon,

te alabare por SIEMPRE,

a ti levantare mi voz, mis brazos, todo mi ser,




Dios de mi salvacion!

Selfless Artist

The strings expand in the vast kingdom.

Boundless!

Life flows,

Love overflows.

Fearless! Fadeless!

Life exists,

Love endures.

Limitless! Endless!

The colors are at the same time ubiquitous.

Uniquely Chosen

Speaking figuratively.

A royal garden, a beautiful backyard, a row of pale and pink roses,

all three have some things in common:

the need of special care,
branches need to be removed,

roots need to be cut down,
others need to be refreshed...




...God is able to work in our lives,
through his power alone he guides us,

through his Spirit of truth he renews us,
through his righteousness he does not let us go astray,

through his grace we remain in him, the true vine.

Kiss the Air

Missing,

it sure is good,

you better clap,

start a melody even with no means,

it is hard to be waiting,

you thought you would never miss,

blah, omit the missed point

why worry?

clap, clap, clap, clap

1, 2, 3, 4

again,

clap, clap, clap, clap,

1, 2, 3, 4

whistle and clap,

so much is wasted in secret pain,

sing a love song,

keep whistling...

Missing,

it brings a new opportunity to aim,

a moment to wave in the breeze,

the freedom to walk with your arms lifted high,

for long, to hold beautiful thoughts,





don't substitute the person you love,

don't throw away the chance to compose her a letter,

use the sand and impress your love...


...Listen in stillness for a while,

stand up and scream,

let God hear your voice,

do not miss singing,

speaking loud and clear,

saying:

I love you!

Mirror...Mirror

The picture takes color,

little by little it makes sense,

no longer the foggiest notion.


The blanket covers...,

except my feet, which are left in the air...

...What is?

What is the expectancy when I wake??


I love, I love, I love


I need to embrace what I see,

the reflection of the truth,

the voice that speaks and leads me,

the LOVE that I love.

Thorn of Love

We planned the best vacation ever.

What is the plan?

We had it all figured out.


Early in the morning we took off,
in 7 hours we estimated to have arrived to our destination,
in 7 hours we thought we would be at a paradise.




We embarked into a journey,
one we thought we perfectly owned,
a journey we handcuffed to our will.


What is the plan?

We had only traveled for about 3:40 hours...
...the car got a flat tire.
Pheew, we got it fixed.

We had only traveled for about 4:30 hours...
...my brother's stomach got in severe pain.
Pheew, he took some pills.

We had only traveled for about...
...the car wrecked,
my mom had lost the map,
the car really wrecked.

What is the plan?

We had to wait around 5:20 hours.
Someone came to pick us up,
someone came to our rescue.

It was while waiting those long 5ish hours
that we:

learned how to have fun,
learned how to love each other,
learned to live the life,
learned to laugh,
learned to embrace our pain together,
learned to pray,
learned to trust,
learned to love our God.
What is the plan?

We had no plan from the very beginning,
the Lord Jesus Christ owned the unfolding of our day,


We had the BEST vacation EVER!

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own."

- Matthew 6. 33,34

KING OF NATIONS

EVERY KNEE WILL BOW BEFORE YOU!







WORDS OF TRUTH SPOKEN EVERYWHERE!








SOULS THIRSTY AND IN NEED OF LOVE!






LIVES TO BE FOUND IN GRACE, STANDING IN FAITH!

Precious Time

I don't have to speak.

dada...



My soul will dance in peace,

it will find the joyful melody,

rest will come to join it as a permanent partner.



I don't have to move.

dada...


My soul will thirst for the spring water,

it will long for the voice that opens my eyes,

love will come to join it as a permanent partner.



I don't have to expect.

I know he's thought it all,

I learn daily who my Father is.

The Supply of God's Love

Transformation OCCURS

Life is weaved...







No such thing as "length convention",

an ever present fountain

it is,

centered in righteousness and justice.

Golden Tears

He...we were holding hands.

It was a cold night, the fog partly covered the city, noise invaded the atmosphere, the smell of "pegamento" (glue) and alcohol felt like a permanent and warm kiss in both my cheeks.

The life of my buddy always depended on tough items that would cease his hunger. Those little "snacks" came most of the time through stealing money... rarely from the help of...never from a loving family who could give to him with love.

We were holding hands.

I could feel his shiver.

I could feel his fear.

We were holding hands.

I could feel him...

In the middle of a song of worship he stumbled, he fell in his knees. I grabbed him.

I was holding his head.

He began shaking...convulsing. Some tears fell from his eyes. In my arms I had the life of my buddy, one close buddy who in his physical hunger made me hunger for Christ. In my arms laid the life of a 9ish homeless year old boy...

He fought for his life until the last breath. In my arms...I could only pray. In my arms...the ever changing act God has used to change my life.

I was holding hands with my buddy!

I am hoping to hold his hands,

to hold his hands at the presence of the Holy Holy Holy One!

Regarding...Regardless!

...FOR TO ME TO LIVE IS CHRIST!

For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.


- Philippians 1. 21

Wurgen?

From Proverbs 14


A heart at peace gives life to the body,
but envy rots the bones.






I never had the time to worry

Too far...

I saw 4 crickets dancin', jumpin', dancin'

I saw a bungee cord; it was destroyed by the sun's rays.

I saw a butterfly dancin', flyin', dancin'


I never had the time to try

Covenant of Faith

Into love, pulled by you.

Through your grace, by your hands all made.


YOU ARE MY KING


You alone have my heart.

My soul for you thirsts, in you it relies.


YOUR ARE MY KING


"But as for me, in You I trust"

WATER WALKIN'

Glance off the same angle!

It is almost leaving me deaf.

Each touch, a new sound.


Why do they walk like crabs and not like sheep being led by its pastor?

Why is it hard for them to see that their rock has been removed?

Why do they like being twisted into an unbreakable spiral?

Why do they accept the possible?

Why do they remain pushing when it is already time to pull?

WHY DO THEY WALK LIKE CRABS
AND NOT LIKE SHEEP BEING LED BY ITS PASTOR?


Time does not stand still.

It is too shinny; it is TOO OBVIOUS!

Each door, a new world.






They need to acknowledge:

GRACE IS THE ESSENCE
and
FAITH IS THE CHANNEL

Take off your sandals in his holy ground, and while at his fields of grace embrace his love and live life to the fullest!

The Lord your God

“Do not be afraid,” Samuel replied.
“You have done all this evil; yet do not turn away
from the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart.

Do not turn away after useless idols.
They can do you no good, nor can they rescue you,
because they are useless.

For the sake of his great name
the Lord will not reject his people,
because the Lord was pleased to make you his own…

…But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully
with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
Yet if you persist in doing evil,
both you and your king will be swept away.

1 Samuel 12. 20 - 25

Peaceful Breath

Blisters on my feet.
Pain in my legs,
tightened muscles...
my whole body longing for rest.


Tales filled with allusions. Lessons that play with logic. Discussions inflicted with pleasure and delight. Metaphors carrying out proposes.



BECAUSE I (the I AM) SAY SO!


What are then the real-life matters?
What changes people’s lives?

What has become popular (sadly) is what makes us go for the unkown adventures...??????

Sore muscles.
Pain and distress.

I am learning to yield control.
I thought I had learned that so many times already.
I forgot that if I take control and demand the tools to fix myself, then I have forgotten who my King is.

Hence, despite all the causes of pain in my life,
I WILL KEEP ON YIELDING CONTROL TO MY LORD.
I WILL FOCUS ON GETTING TO KNOW MY SAVIOR.
I WILL PRAY THAT I LEARN TO WORSHIP MY GOD ALONE.


I stand on my legs. Sure I do.
However, I go about to lie down on my bed...
"...search for your heart and be silent"


- Wonderful waves that crash and wash the ocean!

Ha. I sure long for my blisters to heal! -

Dancin' Inside

The blender is ON. Many things are mixing themselves inside myself. Thoughts, reasons, emotions, feelings...the beauty of life and its colors.

What path should I take? Where should I go? What should I do?

The blender is ON.
However, here comes a little bit of the taste of the mix:

Do I know in whom I stand and what I am doing?


In other words...
DO YOU KNOW IN WHO YOU STAND AND WHAT YOU ARE DOING?

The items mixing inside myself give a hard time to the blades.

...both the blending and transformation are in the hands of:
the MOST HIGH ARTIST!
So,

the transformation,
it results in the most beautiful effect!

Mysterious Skies

So it is.
I can see the effect.
I can stare at the sky and collide with its beauty.
It feels as if the sky comes down near me,
waiting for it...meanwhile I fix this sweet thought and ardent desire,
the precious thought of running through the breeze of its unending tide.






The bright sun!
Look above.
It is like a free bird,
I see it as poetry...
the poem that a man in love writes to his beloved one,
a man who wants to catch it all from her,
who wants to love her until the end.





He transformed from a boy into a man,
she from a girl into a princess.

So it is.

The sky changed scenery,
it transformed from sunrise into sunset.

Divine glory!
Poetry!

I WANT TO RUN IN YOUR UNENDING TIDE,

FEEL YOUR BREEZE AND

LOVE YOU FOREVER!

Negligible though HOPEFUL

The drops falling...
The drops falling...it is raining!
The drops falling...I fall in love with the sound.
The drops falling...I see their reflection all over the place.
The drops falling...everyone runs to hide but I want to come out and play.
The drops falling...they break with all rules and paradigms, always inspiring to new things.
The drops falling...still, despite the years and knowledge, I find myself counting them.
The drops falling...my pupils are caught by beauty, my eyes get filled with hope.
The drops falling...I anticipate the powerful sound of thunders and trembles.
The drops falling...all the birds trying to agglomerate under the leaves.
The drops falling...I sometimes pray for those without a home.
The drops falling...who cares about what day is today!
The drops falling...I might feel like napping.
The drops falling...wash me clean.
The drops falling...delightful.
The drops falling...
The drops fall,
The drops!

Hair in the Air

Maybe I was around 7 years old...

I remember standing up and feeling free in the race,
I remember the noise of the wind as it crashed against my face,
I remember holding tight to the iron bar,
I remember the smell of the sugar cane,
I remember the mountains at the side of the fields,
I remember feeling like a young boy,
I remember being filled up with complete joy.





I remember smelling flowers,
I remember climbing towers,
I remember the 7 letters: YO TE AMO,
I remember the softness of a caress,
I remember jumping in one foot,
I remember being bugged,
I remember being always hugged.

I remember...

...LIFE IS FULL OF COLORS!

Beyond Today

Waiting...

The power of heaven, the power of the divine, the same power of the invincible chariot, the power of the ever existing kingdom, the power of the blower of wind, the same power of the everlasting sword, the power of the tree of life, the power of the strongest lion, the power of the flowing of the rivers, the same power of the designer of spring, the power of the surviving truth, the power of the book of ages, the power of the spirit that surpasses the human eye, the same power of eternity...

...Waiting

How does one remain in the thoughts of such power?

How does one delights on it daily?

How does one fully praises the most powerful I am?

And here I am on the last day, thinking all kinds of thoughts, worried for yesterday, the today and tomorrow. I find myself absorbed by the chaotic timed framed empty desires, those that the wind can easily take from north to south and east to west...

...Waiting...

The power of the bird of heaven, the power of the majestic eagle, the power of the anonymous insects that bring life to a forest, the same power of the roaring oceans, the power of the perfect sacrifice, the power of thunder and rain,


THE POWER OF THE BREATHER OF LIFE!

Pristine Reflection

As water reflects a face,
so a man's heart reflects the man.

- From the Bible: Proverbs 27.19

Preparacion y Fulgor

Yo quiero una oracion,

donde no cese el clamor,

no haya mas frustracion,

la vista este llena de color,

todo en perfecta comunicacion,

cada amanecer sea agradable en olor,

y la mas eterna composicion,

refleje completamente tu esplendor.




Ahora estas cerca y siento tu cancion,

mis debilidades admito con candor,

a todo mi alrededor el rugir de tu creacion,

moviste tu la piedra y ya no tengo mas temor,

es la mas dulce y bella sensacion,

haces que tenga mas hambre de tu amor!

Princesa de Mi Amor

De nuestros labios,

en un dia melodico,

quebrando el silencio que ahora parece eterno,

tus palabras y las mias,

un adios envuelto en el recuerdo que yo respiro,

veo el brillo de tus ojos, mi recuerdo mas grande que tu olvido,

estaremos por siempre unidos en un amor esperanzado.



Oh! Bella flor del campo del rey,

bella princesa llena de amor celestial,

respiro y te amo,

quiero navegar y batallar contigo,

vivir junto a ti en el vivir de nuestras vidas.




Mi mirada vive junto a ti,

mi pensamiento vuela al recuerdo de tenerte entre mis brazos,

tu corazon brilla como el sol,

tu rostro bello cada dia lleno de luz,

anhelo llevarte en lo mas profundo de un amor puro,

mis suenos vuelan en el azul del mar, siembran un amor futuro,

estas conmigo, mi alma a cada instante enlaza tu nombre y el mio.



Yo una cosa se,

por siempre nuestro amor se escondera en la verdad,

por siempre se resguardara detras de las promesas eternas,

por siempre sera amor real,

por siempre amara.

True Love

To the Creator,

The majestic designer!

To the perfect artist it belongs,
and with him it all starts!

- He made the first move -

From the very beginning,
through his relationship with us,
one set up by him,
the expression of true love, his love, was evident!

Lately, it has been in my mind and heart to devote time to pray to God for my future wife.

Through the time I have spent praying (speaking, thinking, and writing) I have experienced moments of relief and total peace. So it is to say, that through the same time of prayer I've had, God has shaped my character. He has reminded me that he is the author of true love, the very sacrificial and merciful love.

God first created us; he created us in his image, in his likeness.
In the image of God he created us.
He...

..."God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground." -Genesis 1.28

"Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." - Genesis 2.7

"Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name." - Genesis 2.19

Not only did God make us in his own image, breathing in us his breath of life, giving us life, but also he perfectly placed and provided every single needed thing for us.

TRUE LOVE!

One...not so fast...he also, since we were created to his likeness, allowed us completely to have dominion over every beast of the field and every bird of the sky.

"And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." - Genesis 2.25

Best Concert

I surfed through the pictures of my sister this afternoon. Two of her pictures made a big impact in my life, allowing me to delight in her photography skills and arousing my mind to deep glowing passionate thinking.

What is the position of the embryo?
Is this position a reflection of religion?
Do we approach things in life with an open mind?
How do we embrace pain?
Are we humble enough?
Do we see with our eyes?
Do we hear with our ears?
Do we reason?
What is obedience?
What notes are to be played in worship?
Is worship obedience?
or
Obedience worship?
How often are we bowed before our Creator?
What does it take to be like Daniel?
What is needed to be bowed in submission and profound adoring awed worship?



I see the need of being aware of...
It takes a battle of the soul...

...Faith in Jesus Christ will bring the reconciliation!

We are persuaded to disobedience by those "lovely" moments,
those charming seductions,
by all our small treasures,
through all possible weaknesses in us.

NO! Hold on.
I am tired.

The door needs to be opened!

I need to let some light enter
Please, make me beautiful once again.

Father, observe the deep ardent desires of my heart!

Open the door you want me to walk through.
Make my heart and mind demand the presence of your Spirit.
Renew me constantly.

Allow me to stop, breathe, admire, and adore you!

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil,
for you are with me...

...Destitute my sin...
...Reverse...

The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not be in want.

Cause Me to Eat and Drink

MY ROCK OF AGES!

Repair my strength Lord, keep me.

Renew my mind God, heal me.

Refill my heart with your peace, love me.

I only consider myself blessed by you,

MY ROCK OF AGES!

Mere Rules or Free Spirit?

Fun 'n Faith

“As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.”

- Psalm 18:30

7 years ago...so much left in God's hands.
That mirror all blurred,
my dimmed eyes,
breath coming out of my mouth,
hope, hope, and hope, my ardent desire,
vapor condensed to particles of water,
that mirror all blurred,
hope,
the answer in knowing that by God's will is why I breathe.

Yeah, 7 years ago...
The Lord equipped me to fight with a new shield and a new sword!

Hosanna!

I love you, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.
He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

- Psalm 18. 1-2

What is the expectancy of my everyday?

7 years ago,
still today the road gets very steep,
hope, hope, and hope, my ardent desire...

God is faithful to answer, to quickly come to my rescue!

The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness,
according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight.

To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
to the blameless you show yourself blameless,

to the pure you show yourself pure,
but to the crooked you show yourself shrewd.

You save the humble
but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.

You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning;
my God turns my darkness into light.

With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.

- Psalm 18. 24-29

Entice

Am I allured by you?

Allured to this life experience?

Sometimes it is hard for me to know exactly what to give my attention to...but...the other day a dear friend of mine told me:

"I think we should focus everything on God,

we should get to know him...
...If he is the one we are focusing on,
then sin will go away.

Let's not focus on sin,
on what we can or can't do.
Let's focus on God alone."

My mind needs to be renewed and transformed by the power of God!

Yes, I think my friend is right about it,
the Lord will change and transform us as we get to know him more and more.

Hence, when we reach a new stage in life, we ought to know that the Lord will not bring us to this stage without having changed us completely.

Your Scent

She: "The wind, the wind!
Now, let's do it! It is the perfect wind!"

He: "Pull the string! Let's run!
Let more string go! Excellent!




Suddenly the wind howls,
the clouds look like little marshmallows.

Birds chirp and pass by,
the leaves in the ground take flight in the waves of the wind.

The joyful wind, the wind,
like a wild horse galloping, the wind!

The wind!
You are here, I am there!

We run together,
only the wind connects our strings!

I want the wind to whisper to your ear...
to bring to you a colorful butterfly.

The wind!
I can smell you.

I love you!
I love you!

Our prayers,
lifted up to the Lord as a fragrant perfume!

My eyes look at the sky,
they capture the dance of the trees.

The wind,
a sweet melody!

I remember the taste of that mango,
the wind carries with it all those moments.

The Lord heard our voices,
the Lord moved the clouds and the trees!

...I want the wind ,
each time you see that colorful butterfly,
each time you close your eyes and feel it,
to bring my love to you!

"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith
—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—
may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls." - 1 Peter 1. 6-9

Your Beauty...

...the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit...

I met a woman whose inner self truly reflects beauty.

She possesses a noble character...she fears the Lord, works hard and with vigor, is very submissive, hospitable, serves her family and guests, from her lips come words of wisdom, and loves with genuine love.

God impacted my life through the moments he allowed me to spend with her. I did not only enjoyed each single moment I spent at her side, but also was able to learn very much from her noble character.

Her name perfectly befits with her personality, she is a flower, one very fragrant.

...which is of great worth in God's sight. - 1 Peter 3.4

A Glimpse Only

Cultivate With Care

The inside is what proofs the quality...

Two old folks, memories, the story of a lifetime...

Obedience to God, their best worship,

Faith in him, their light to walk.

The foundation of it all, only love!

Their smile, their peace, their smile!

Only love, eternal love!

Epilogue

Days of rest have gone by. It is nice to be back at home.

A long trip, full of adventures, ups and downs, is in its final stage.

Through the trip and all the experiences I have lived at the side of my friends Kerri, Kari, and Shawn, I was able to grow in patience a lot. Certainly, one of my highlights was having the opportunity to delight in God through spending some time of solitude in front of the ocean, surrounded by beautiful beaches.

The scenery, listening to the waves crash, the smell of fresh coconut, feeling the sand filtering through my hands, and the taste of a cold banana smoothie...moments were recorded in my mind, ones that I will probably never forget.

Talking to my friend Shawn about important matters made me reflect and debrief, as much as I could, about the priceless relationship I have with my Creator.

Tropical Rain Forest

KEEP DANCIN'

In the rain,
in the midst of thunders,
while the earth shakes underneath you,
as the wind blows with roars,
at the time when mud is all you find to give grip to your steps,
when nothing and no one but God,
God alone,
when in your fear you realize that only he can bring comfort to you,
you need to:

KEEP DANCIN!

KEEP PRAISING HIM!

KEEP PRAYING!

KEEP HAVING FAITH!

KISS ME ONE MORE TIME

The tires spin, the friction!
What way should I take?
How should I do it?
Where to go?
Why?
-0-
Now!
In your ways!
I will seek for forgiveness!
To you alone I will yield all control!
The tires spin in the road you have prepared!

Translucent

I am born again!

Your love, the greatest of all.

In you my innocence!

You wash my heart.

I think I know you...you like to close your eyes, write, read, plan, hide, fly, listen...live your life!

Your hands shake, your feet are too quick, your mind flies too fast, you rush, you suffer of amnesia.

At times, you do not resist, you live like an enemy of the cross of Christ.

I am born again!

Your love, the greatest of all.

In you my innocence!

You wash my heart.

Sometimes you remember that in God you can walk until the end, the goal!

You remember that you can hold fast, you can be pure and blameless, you can believe, you can do what's right, you can walk in the light, you can know the truth, you can love!

You give me power through your name!

In you my life lays.

First Notes - First Tones

The first feeling while flying,
the bumpiness,
strong flow of air passing through the mountains,
the airplane moving up and down...

My eyes still,
engaged in taking the best picture,
the best perspective of the majestic mountains.
The second feeling while flying,
awed by the beauty of the scenery!

"Buenas Tardes Senor Mata"...
Words in my natal language,
with a smile, and yet deep serious sight,
welcomed me to the entrance of my homeland.
The third feeling while walking,
the relief of...

...Now, the climax of the whole trip!
The fourth and best feeling of all,
the best ingredient running through my veins,
LOVE!
My eyes spotted two very familiarized faces,
two big smiles, two shinny eyes,
two forever beloved friends that I have been longing to see,
my sisters!


NOTES is the SAME as TONES!

Same letters, same length.

I have found things in different order...

Much to do in my country, much to help with!

Mi Tierra y Mi Cielo

Mi Tierra y Mi Cielo!




Tus ojos radiantes en color,
sin secreto alguno expones tu tez.
Tus grandes tronos consienten mi alma,
y aun en el mas lejano de tus rincones reconozco tu olor.





Tus figuras y texturas, todo al alcance de mi palma!

Nunca dejaras de ser tu,





Mi Tierra y Mi Cielo!

God has blessed me with very, extremely,
precious friends.




It was tonight...I got words from a very dear friend: Sarah E. Holden
Her words were like the rain that refreshes God's nature,
the rain that brings life to his creation,
the rain that reminds me that God paints life...

"Javi,
Good to hear from you, mi amigo!

I am so sorry to hear about your friend in guate;
I am sure that it must be a process of grief
that will take a lot of time.

I dont know if there are words to say,
but i will be thinking of you
and praying for you in your situation.

I have realized lately
how dependent we truly are on the Lord,
though we sometimes do not realize it.

Sometimes it takes tragedies,
or places where we go
therough the "dark night of the soul"
in order to come to a place
where we feel like we have no hope
only to realize what the hope is that we have--
Jesus Christ and His work on the cross.

I was struggling this semester
with really questioning God
and finding it difficult to believe,
trying to cling to belief,
but having to cry out for help.

I am thankful
that the Lord has brought me out of that place
and I trust
that He will do the same for you..."

...It is God who paints the colors of the flowers.
It is he the one who has painted the colors of the butterflies.
God only knows how to paint a rainbow in the sky!

A Way Away - Recordatorio de Zambia y Sierra Leone

A man who dreams

He belongs to a tribe of true believers!


A man who works

His life becomes the new medium!


A man who hopes

He finds a way to share his faith!


A man who lives

He loves with love and only love!


"Pray for...I will be home soon, maybe next year" -L'dN


I want to dream, work, hope, and live.


Father, allow me to help my friends with the resources that you bless me with.
Please, allow me to bless others, to humbly give and to kindly help them.

2 + 2 = 3

At the end of the crazy downhill experience I take a deep breath, close my eyes, flex my hands, get down from my bike, and turn my head to the mountain behind me, to the paths I have conquered at full speed (50, 60, 70, 80... Km/h)... it does not make sense, how did I make it in that curve, through all those rocks, flying while jumping obstacles, how?

Time is your best friend, but also your enemy, when going downhill at full speed. You want to be precise, take your time, and do things step by step. However, you also want to do things in full confidence, without hesitating. No space for hesitation should ever be in your mind.

Here I go + Hesitation = Extreme Fall

Here I go + Trust & Confidence = Extreme Achievement

One more class, two more exams, and a big packing process is what I have pending.

Soon, Lord willing, I will be able to scuba dive, read my Bible while laying in a hammock, mountain bike, drive across countries, run at the side of the ocean, fight huge waves, hug homeless kids and youth, hang out with prisoners, go out for coffee with ex gang members, speed at a 170 - 200 Km/h, drive a manual car, race with my friends, admire my beloved lake, pray at the top of mountains, kiss and hug my sisters, sit down and have deep conversations with my mom, plan stuff with my dad, hike for hours and hours, visit poor people who live in simple, plastic, carton, metal, and wood houses, hiding in the mountains, eat pupusas, jocon, asados y desayunos tipicos, drink rosa de jamaica, pina colada, licuados, go to Antigua with my best friends, zipline, see dolphins, run under rain and thunderstorms, bargain, visit missionary friends, visit my sister at her workplace, take the dogs out,...

...aenigma, ainigmat!

This whole academic year is almost gone. Thank Lord for the strength, for the faith you have empowered me with. The last month or so in my life has been CRAZY; everything seemed to be going smooth, it appeared like I had exactly what I needed, I thought I was okay, comfortable...

...bang, God comes with the the test of faith!

I will forever remember the trees dancing on top of me, while being at their habitat, contemplating the nature, and lifting up my eyes to the sky.

I will forever remember friends in the faith, their listening, prayers, advice, hugs, the hope they shared with me, their challenging questions, confrontation, and priceless love!

The prize, the award!



EVERLASTING GLORY!

Us Who are Mature

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.




All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained."

- Philippians 3. 12-16

Su mas intensa y apasionada sonrisa es el reflejo de un amor puro y eterno!



HALLELUJAH
(English)

She giggles, with joy she expresses the gratitude for the unending love for her!

Halleluja
(German)

Loblied; sie kommt mit freiheit zu das garten; sie singt: "Ich liebe dich"!

The heavens declare the glory of God. The oceans roar. The skies proclaim the work of his hands. The mountains melt like wax. The trees will sing for joy...

From Psalm 96:

"Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth...

...For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;

he is to be feared above all gods...

...Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,

ascribe to the LORD glory and strength....

...Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth...

Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."...
...Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.

Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;...

...they will sing before the LORD, for he comes,

he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

and the peoples in his truth.

Trees were dancing today at the rhythm of wind music.

The branches were lifted up to the sky,
dancing and dancing without stopping.

The King and spotless Lamb,
the Lord who reigns in glory,
he orchestrates it all,
he is holy, he is a holy God!

Andante

Music...

The sweet notes of a violin, or the soft melody of a piano capture my heart easily. The best analogy that resembles the particularity of pleasant single tones to my ears is the listening of the rain or waves crashing.

On a summer day, two young children came to their mother, pleading their hunger, asking for food. She was well-prepared. She reached into the carry-bag beside her and handed little boys little wrapped lunches. Grabbing with one hand, they jumped and ran back to play, munching satisfyingly as they went. The mother took her own meal from the bag, and sat, and watched, and smiled.

Across the playground, another rug was spread. Mother scouted around climbing frames and swings, one by one summoning the family to lunch. And they came, father carrying the smallest, the older children happily moving toward the prepared nourishment. And they sat. Stopped awhile. Circled laid-out food, backs to all but one another. Eyes connected. Tongues chattered. It was slow, this simple feast. Joyful in company, in the occasion. When young and older were satisfied, an entire family rose, shook out the rug, and retreated to play together.

Oh, the sweet notes, well played notes, all in perfect harmony, making the master composition!

What reflects our lives? The story of the one family who did not take time to share a meal together? Or the one who in deep care and love, each one at the side of another, chattered in peace and joyfully enjoyed the feast?

Where do I stand when it comes the time to share a meal with Jesus? Where is my focus? What is the force that drives me, the motivation?

I hope my life is not in constant rush. I hope that everyday God teaches me how to stop, refrain myself from the "to do list", give up my preferences, and slow down my pace to be with him.
