Being Picky with Strawberries

On Friday as I was picking strawberries from the platter at the Christians on Campus meeting,
I was being picky.
I would pick strawberries that were dark red, or some that were vivid red-which made them look sweet, delicious, and Fresh!!
As I was carrying on my task of picking and eating the most delicious strawberries, according to my judgment, I informed Mary Linn how picky I was being with the strawberries.  She answered me by saying, “that is how God was when He picked us, He said, ‘I want you, you, and you’.”
WoW! What a revelation! Even when I knew I had been chosen by God, by using the example of me being picky with the strawberries, this became real to me.  Yes! I
 He picked me!!!! He chose me to be His child!!!
Even when He knew I was full of sins and blemishes, and imperfections,
Still when He knew of all the mistakes and stupidities that I would make,
Although He knew the foolish I would be,
HE PICKED ME!!!
He knew all the things I would do, that would separate me from Him.
B-U-T He found a way for me to be with Him.
He gave His son to come to this world so He could become a living sacrifice and propitiation for my sins.
He mad e His blood cover and wash my sins, so I could start anew with Him.
Oh Lord! Thank you for that gift! Thank you for choosing me!

And as He picked me, He also picked YOU!!!! Just Believe in Him and AcCept Him as your Heavenly Father.  He is waiting for you to realize that YOU have been CHOSEN by Him!!
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1.5

I want to rest my head on your shoulder

I want to rest my head on your shoulder, While I hear you speak, While you tell me about your everlasting love for me. I want to rest my head on your shoulder, While you whisper my name, While you tell me of your promises. I want to rest my head on your shoulder, While I share the secrets of my heart, While I confess my love toward you. I want to rest my head on your shoulder, While I place my trust in you, While I close my eyes and relax. I want to rest my head on your shoulder, While I forget about my pain, While I forget about my past. I want to rest my head on your shoulder,           And stay there,           Secure in you forever. I want to rest my head on your shoulder,           Like John the apostle,           And when they speak about me, ...

Pensamiento 10/5/13

La ventana del cuarto esta abierta La melodía de los grillos están cantando su serenata La dulce melodía que hace a la luna feliz Que habrá hecho la luna para que la alaguen tanto? Ya que son varios grupos que están tocando. A la verdad no me enfadan, Me gusta escuchar su entonada, Que no necesitan guitarra ni flauta, Solo su cuerpo para entonarla. Tal vez debería de estar dormida, Perdida en un sueño relajante, Pero lo brisa entro por mi ventana, La cual no esta tan helada, Me alerto que la noche esta bella, Que aunque el cielo esta gris, Aun brillan las estrellas, El cual ilumina el mas allá, Y no nos deja perdernos en la oscuridad. La brisa me recordó de mi amado, Que en el cielo, en su trono esta sentado, Se a de estar riendo! Ya que conoce como corren mis pensamientos. Su brisa mando para abrazarme, Para recordarme que conmigo esta en todas partes. Y aun cuando quisiera caer en un lindo sueño, El mandara a sus gr...

Pensamiento 5.19.2013

Hay veces que hay miedo, inseguridades y obstáculos que tratan de opacar la luz que queremos seguir. La luz que nos quiere guiar en vivir confiado en Dios el padre. Hay veces que vienen pensamientos que nos dicen que no vamos a poder lograr nuestros sueños. Hay momentos que nos dan ganas de tirar la toalla ya que es mas fácil rendirse que seguir luchando. Hay personas que cuando lo miran derrotado, en vez de ayudarle a uno mas los hunden, que en vez de una mano de aliento, les dan una pedrada. Pero. . . Han ávido momentos que cuando tengo miedos, inseguridades, y obstáculos he podido doblar mis rodillas para pedir a Dios dirección. Que cuando los pensamientos me dicen que no es posible, les he podido recordar que "todo lo puedo en Cristo que me fortalece" y agarrar el toro por los cuernos. Que cuando quiera darme por vencida, siempre hay una razón para seguir luchando. . . ya que Dios no nos da prueba que no nos de las armas necesarias para ganarlas...
