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

Will You?

Why don’t we travel the world together? It would be you and me, Me and you. Yeah I know the economy is bad, The fare to expensive, but I didn’t ask for all that. I just said why not travel the world together, In a blink of an eye Lets just say that we would travel there without spending, It would be a roundtrip. Where should we go to first? Japan, España, England, or maybe China, Brazil,  Goodness there’s so many places to go  So choose. First close your eyes and imagine that you are here with me, Then hold my hand and imagine that we are traveling the world, That we didn’t use a plane but that we could fly there, That we could see those beautiful landscapes, that we could eat good food without spending a cent.  So will you travel the world with me today-right now?

Locuritis

Voy pa'rriva,    voy pa'bajo, me deslizo y me caigo. Me levanto y vuelvo a empezar para bajar un poco esta locuritis. Me subo a la cama, salto por un ratito, y de tan alto que salto me golpeo el coquito. Locuritis, locuritis, donde te meto pa'que te me quites? Me acuesto y duermo por una semana? O te saco de mi mente con una tenaza? Me rio, me rio, y no puedo parar, Tanta cosquillita, ja-ja-ja-ja-jah!! Corro, corro, y corro, pero tengo que parar porque necesito respirar un poquito más. Aunque la locuritis no me quiere dejar en paz. Es algo que se me a pegado y no me quiere dejar jamás. Locuritis, locuritis, que chistosa eres tu, me haces disfrutar tu loca actitud!!! 01/03/08

I Can't Lie

I can’t stop loving you, Even if I wanted to. My silence can tell you the truth, My eyes will not deceive you, It is not something I could even try. If you could be by my side, You would learn that I do not lie. I do have to confess that my heart beats too fast, I lose my breath when I have you in my sight, I get nervous just thinking that you will talk to me, And I think of a dialogue that would make you like me. Do not break the chain of this love, I could not lie even if I wanted to. My feelings are too hidden inside that it fills that the wall that is keeping them in will shatter and be free. And my dream of you being with me will become a reality. 11/28/2007 ·       Lies are not good in a relationship, they kill the feelings that one day existed. It brings doubtful thoughts into your mind, it makes you want to cry. It brings pain to your soul mate and the trust disappears and it is too hard to g...
