Fear Not (Luke 12:32)

This is my share a Bible verse Wednesday. I want to push myself to blogging a bible verse every week on Wednesday. Today's verse is found in Luke 12:32. I am already loving how it begins! "FEAR NOT". I placed that in caps as a reminder. I can see in my life how many times I know, God was like hey angelica fear not. I know this for me is security. Its states that it gives the Father "GOOD PLEASURE" to give YOU the kingdom. Its his will. He want, his desire is to give the kingdom to his flock. Its giving us hope and assurance that he only wants the best! I mean the kingdom!!! COME ON !!. Its not about worldly possessions. He only wants  the best for you! Do be anxious. Seek him. :)

1st Year of Marriage

{me& Zeke (husband) 3 years ago }

Where do I begin? I still remember the feeling in my stomach before walking down the aisle. I was standing there in my dress with my flower girls. I could look out this window and see all my family. I knew that this was the day that would change my life forever in a good way. As I walked down the hall into the Sanctuary my palms were sweating. Its something rare to get my nerves all in a bunch. I knew that the end of the aisle was my best friend. I kept telling myself I was going to be okay as long as I made it by his side. I remember looking at him as I walked and forgetting everything!! My mind went blank I was in tears! The actual ceremony had not even started I was overwhelmed. I could not believe this was truly happening to ME! How many people get to marry someone the knew since they were 5 years old? I knew everything about his life and he knew mine. Hes wasn't just my best friend but I trust him with my heart. I didn't want my wedding to be about a huge ceremony. I wanted the focus to be about how God can be present not only in this commitment...but be remembered for years to come. We could feel God in everything we did.There is nothing better than to feel God there.... with you.... present.... as you as say YES to the love of your life. It was one of the most happiest day ever! From that point on my husband has taken care of me. I feel the safest with him by my side. I miss him so much when hes away doing errands. We do have problems, but nothing bigger than our love for each other. I could have a bad day and then just like that he would make me laugh. We could be both mad at each other or different things but with just one thing everything changes for the better. We dated but being married is different. Being married is opening yourself to share everything about you. Its like you are both vulnerable no shields up and trusting each other with that.I love how John Piper put it.

"Marriage, the roots are Deep. The covenant is solid.  Love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is Good."
 -John Piper

Marriage is a covenant that has deep roots. I cant hold nothing back from my husband. Hes knows my all at my worst and at my best. We couldn't do it without God helping us and guiding our life. Cant wait for all the adventures that awaits us! We got one year down now lets see where forever will takes us !!

Wedding day 2-8-14

Dont Give Up!

Life is hard and even harder when Christ isn't there to uphold you. Maybe you've lost someone closest to you. It could be financially or you feel discourage to continue. All I can say is God is better and bigger! He knows when you wake up and when you lay down with the condition of your heart. We might try to be strong and hold it in. It makes our heart heavy. Only God can carry the burdens. Only God can restore our heart. Cling yourself to him and don't let go. Don't Give in to temptation. Don't Give up! With God everything is possible!!!Nothing is bigger than HE. I think about the lyrics of The great I AM. 

Hallelujah, holy, holy

God Almighty, the great I AM

Who is worthy, none beside Thee

God Almighty, the great I AM

The mountains shake before You the demons run and flee

At the mention of the name King of Majesty

There is no power in hell

Or any who can stand

Before the power and the presence of the great I AM

There is NO power NO problem NO Situation Nothing that can stand before HIS presence!

Forgive

Forgiveness is necessary. The consequences of forgiveness is many. One of the consequence I see most is Bitterness. Its so easy to walk from things that are hard to deal with. I found it easier to ignore people when I didn't want to deal with stuff I had going on. Example when I found myself stressing or having a problem .. I would sit in my room alone in the dark and think about it. I would turn off my phone shut everyone out. I did not want help. I especially did not want to share it with my friends. I kept to myself. I never wanted to face it the truth so I ran from it. I ran from friends who actually wanted to help. Years went by and I realized that I needed to let go. I had so much baggage from not forgiving people. I can say I was once Bitter. I hated certain people and what they did. I was never truly happy. I would always...always complain. I never felt restful at night. I would fake I was okay, when deep down I just wanted to cry. I was 95% of the time angry. I do not know how people were so nice to me. I knew in the bottom of my heart God was not pleased with my anger. The Word of God lets us know that rage, anger and bitter we must get rid of it.  

Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.  Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV)

There is not room in my heart to feel theses things. I must have compassion to thoses who have done wrong to me. Yes even if what they did was messed up. I am no one to stand above anyone. We have to forgive. One of the beautiful things we have is Forgiveness for our sins. We cant say we know what Gods forgiveness is if we cant give that to others. Take some time to look at the video posted by one of my sisters in Christ. Shes gives a great understanding of what forgiveness is. 

Thanksgiving

1 Thessalonians 1:2-3

We always thank God for all of youand continually mention you in our prayers. We remember before our God and Father your work produced by faith, your labor prompted by love,and your endurance inspired by hopein our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must always be grateful. It shouldn't take a holiday for us to realize how much God has done for us! We should everything thank him for something. He does so much! I am grateful for his love- his mercy - his kindness- his grace. This year he's giving me an amazing husband. I couldn't ask for more. He will continue to give. I hope this day every one remembers what God has done in their life & how much we need him!

FRAGRANT OFFERING

Love this verse I recently read it in a Bible study. First thing that came to me was LOVE!Word we intent to throw around a lot without the true meaning!! We can be all works.We can be the noblest.  We can give and donate. We can sing the songs. We might think Sundays are enough to go to church. We lift our hands and say yes Jesus. Right after service we're back at it again. We intend to lie. We cheat on God with other idols or relationships!!! That's not true love. I look at my husband and say I love you. But have people on the side replacing who he is for me. I did this so many times.... not only to him.... but to God!!!! I can even think of how many times I did this to my friends. I would say to people I care about you but if you come into this area things change. If you betray me that's it I don't talk to you anymore. You do something to hurt me or if I even felt a tiny hint of lies, I wouldn't even think you worth my time. I had too much pride. I thought if I keep this up no one will get close. That's crazy because Jesus needs to be personal!!!!!! It's NOT A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT BEING PERSONAL!!! I learned that if I truly love Jesus I needed to be personal! That includes me overcoming my fears! I cant hide behind what I feel. I needed to include him in my job, school, friends in church and out of  church. I not only needed to forgive people and past relationships. I needed to look at what God did for me. I have no excuses!!! I look at his sacrifice he forgave me! I wanna stand here and stay they don't deserve my forgiveness! YEAH RIGHT! IM NOBODY!!! I needed to not only love like he loved me but also give that to others. I needed to give that to people I knew spoke bad about me. I needed to give love to people who I didn't even know!!!! So much for staying safe it was opposite of what Gods us to be! He didn't say okay wait,,,,,I want for everyone to accept me before I get to that Cross! He just gave him self up that's it! Just like that....we got salvation!

FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEED

FAITH LIKE A MUSTARD SEED

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. (Luke 17:6 ESV)

FE COMO UN GRANO DE MOSTAZA

Dijeron los apóstoles al Señor: Auméntanos la fe. Entonces el Señor dijo: Si tuvierais fe como un grano de mostaza, podríais decir a este sicómoro: Desarráigate, y plántate en el mar; y os obedecería. (S. Lucas 17:5-6 RVR1960)

THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR

One thing have I asked of the Lord,

    that will I seek after:

that I may dwell in the house of the Lord

    all the days of my life,

to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord

    and to inquire^[a] in his temple

Psalms 27:4

Thats all I want is to gaze upon the beauty of The Lord . I want to be where he is all the time. I want to see Him smile. I want to let him know that I love Him! I think about all the times I felt incomplete, unloved , and alone. He took all that away. I just imagine what it would be like to take a glimpse of who he is. I can't wait. I have also post the verse in Spanish below. I love the translation!!!

Una cosa he demandado a Jehová, ésta buscaré;

Que esté yo en la casa de Jehová todos los días de mi vida,

Para contemplar la hermosura de Jehová, y para inquirir en su templo.

 Salmo 27:4

SOME TIME OF PEACE

Today my church went to the lake. I had some time to be alone. I sat there listening to the waves and different insects around. I couldn't sit there without thanking God. I needed this. In the middle of everything I felt grounded. I wasn't worried about anything. I know he gave  me that opportunity.I have different things coming up .....and he gives me this moment! I reminds me not to worry so much about worldly things! Everything is temporary. I can't stay stuck in this world. I need to focus more on him and less on my home, Job or family. He is going to take care of it all. This is my verse for today!

 Philippians 4:6-7
