Are you lonely?

I think the culture have a lot of lonely people so we look to others to satisfy our feelings. There is nothing wrong with dating, marriage or friendship but we forget about the Lord. Hebrews 13:5 says, " I will never leave you or abandon you." We need to talk to the Lord and follow him. I will get personal now. I can't explain it other then this way. When I lay on my bed, I want to talk to someone. So I talk to God because I have no one to talk to. I believe that many people neglect that. I can feel alone when I am with other people. There is a gospel singer called Rich Mullins that said that he felt lonely and it was okay. Instead of talking to people, I will read the book of Psalms. King David wrote love songs to God and it showed the desire of the Lord in music and words.  I feel lonely a lot of times so I write love songs to God. No person can cure my condition only Jesus. There are many times that I go to Mariner's game by myself and I am okay with that beca

Walk everyday and trust

I took a break from my writing and took it easy for the last two days. I am trying to reconnect with my Lord. Everyone needs to be connected to Jesus. I have a reading program that helps to read the whole Bible in a year and it hopes me. The Bible is the most beautiful book and many things makes me think in the book. What is most interesting verse is Proverbs 16:9. The Proverbs says, " The heart of man plans his way,   but the Lord establishes his steps." I need to be honest, I was doubting somethings. I wondered if I misstep in my life and I messed up the Lord's step. It is interesting that people asked me if they are doing the will of the Lord and I have the same doubt in my life all the time. I don't know where to start and end but I am being proactive. I hope that the Lord is guiding me. I asked people how God moved in their lives. I will share some with you that may encourage you. I know a guy that never dated and a girl really liked him. The girl dated a

There is a way out

There are things that get our attention. It can be good or bad. If someone is great at an event then we notice that then that is not bad. On the another end, there is temptation. We all have different type temptation that will distract us as mankind. Many people will be tempted by not having morals to get money or it could be pride so they never accept Jesus. This a personal blog so I will be honest. The older that I get, sexual temptation is the worst for me. (It could be me but more women like me more than ever before and I don't why. I need to be honest, if I liked someone. I would not know how to start to show that I am interested.) I want to live a pure life and I know what the Bible says.  Matthew 5:27-30 says, " You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.   If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.

Do you fear man?

We always tell the little ones that we should not fear people but we are liars. We do fear people and we will go against the truth so we can please people. Many people are not their own people because their fear. If you know me, I don't care what you think but I will be nice to you. If I think that something needs to done or something I need to do then I will do it. I have done stuff before that would be red flags in the culture and people warned me. I am not to please man but God. I believe people will respect me, even if I don't take their stand because many will not do it. The foundation of mankind is built on the sand and soon will wash away and many Christians are built on this foundation. If a person is a believer n Jesus then know John 14:15 says, " If you love me, keep my commands." Are you following the Lord or the world's system? There is only one truth and the Bible says this.  Revelation 20:11-15 says: 11  Then I saw a great white throne and him

It seems others have all the answers

It seems that others have all the answers because when you ask me something, they have all the answers. I don't have all the answers and I wonder what should be my next move today. I know that some of you will have a master plan for me. Some of you think that I should have a better job and you will point to me where I should go. Some of you think that I should be married and point to the right girl. Some of you think that should not be at a spot where I am at and do what you say. The funny thing is that you don't know what God wants for me and I don't know what God wants for you. It is true that God wants everyone to say to they are sinners and need the grace of Jesus. Jesus is God and he came to this world. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross for ours sins. He arose on the third day.  John 3:16-20 says,  For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send hi

All type of people

I have to took the bus for the third day to work. It give me a great time of thinking. I like writing this blog because I can explain my feeling without annoying people. I know that I can talk to God but I have many thoughts that I keep to myself. I have no one to talk to so I will talk to God then I will write. I looked around the bus and saw all type of people. There were rich, poor, old and young. There were many people from different countries. I heard all type of conversions on that bus. There are many types of seasons in a person life. I was thinking about Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 1 There is a time for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stone

On the bus thinking about this

My car is in the shop so I am taking the bus to work. I had an interesting thought about how people view other people. There are two thought that I always hear. The guy likes the woman as she is and doesn't want her to change. The woman sees a guy want to transform them according to what they think it is best. I think both ideas are wrong because we need to put God in the equation. A person should not be at the same spot spiritual and get transformed by the grace and love of Jesus. Philippians 4:13 says, "  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." This means that the person needs to yield to God everyday. God will change the person for the better. If a person have an image of what a person should be then that can be bad, also. We don't know the plan of the Lord for that person so we may stop good growth that God wants for the other person. We all have different personalities and gifts and we need to encourage people to

A kind word goes a long ways

I was at work and a person said something hard to me. I had two options that I could have done, I could have responded in kindness or in anger. The average person would have talked back in anger but that is not right. The issue that we all have a sinful nature. Adam ate the fruit so mankind will do the wrong thing. Christ came into this world and if a person accept Jesus then God will be in that person life. I have accepted Jesus in my life so I have the Holy Spirit. I treated the person that we was rude with respect because God put it on my heart to honor him. We must start and end the day with honoring the Lord with how we treat others. I am not perfect but this example is proof that Christ can change a person. The verse of the day is Proverbs 15:1. Proverbs 15:1 says, " A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

How do we handle trials?

If you don't know, I was involved in a minor car accident a couple weeks ago. It was not bad but it was a minor trial in life. Life doesn't always happen as you want it to but God will allow events in everyone lives. I think we need to claim these words everyday. James 1:2-5 says, " Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." I rejoice that I can have the accident occur because it shows where I am at with life and God. We always want to give God the street cred when everything is well but we need to give him some credit when things a bad in our minds. The last couple of weeks, I was thankful that the accident was not bad and my c

Life that is never boring

I like to have a purpose and plan but at the same time, I want to be random. I ask the Lord to lead me and change things up. I have not experienced somethings and the older that I get, if the right door opens then I will go to that door. Many times, I don't know how to begin something but the Lord directs my steps. Again, I can be random and crazy. I love Proverbs 16:9. Proverbs 16:9 says, " A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps." I have many ideas in my head. I see there is a chance then I go forward. I think that I am doing it but the Lord is directing my steps. This is hard to explain. I have been bored and have other emotions so I think the Lord is doing something. God doesn't write in sky for the next move but he put desires in my heart. I don't know where to begin in life so I read the Bible and see what are Biblical ideas. Psalm 119:105 says, " Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path." When I align with the

Don't get to comfort on earth but enjoy life

I believe God wants to give us good gifts on this earth and not for us to get comfortable on this earth. There is nothing with the relationship that we have people but we must know they will have a short time then we will not know them. There is nothing wrong with houses but God has a better place for us in heaven for all his followers. There is nothing wrong with a great job but that job can end any day. We need to enjoy the items that I mentioned but hold out our hands and allow the Lord to take and add what he wants. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy this life but lately I have been longing for something better and this world can't give it to me or people. I feel like Abraham right now. I can see the better life in the next life and I keep moving til I see that place. Hebrews 8:8-10 says, " By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.   By faith he made his home

Be yourself

There are absolute truth and what people do culturally. We should not mixed up these two ideas but we do. There are many cultures in this world and each culture think that they have the corner stone on living and how to live. This is bad thinking. The family structure in the United States may be different than in Mexico but it doesn't make either country worst or better. I believe when a person gets married, that person needs to leave and cleave to the mate and leave their parents and unit with the mate as one. The most important person in a married person life should be their spouse.  Genesis 2:23-24 says, " The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’   for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh." All that said, if a person lives in a culture that they live with parents until marriage, that is okay. This is not a sin but in t
