We are always talking about the next chapter or the new chapter of our life. Chapters turn into books, sometimes books turn into encyclopedias. If our lives are books with chapters, then perhaps we have many, many pages. I believe a good book has happy, sad, suspense, drama, action, tragedy, and comedy pages. Some sort … Continue reading Turn the page
So yes, the year started and with the new year came all these things I wanted to do. I am pretty sure you have a list too, I don’t know how long, but one nonetheless. Well, my very first task is getting closer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I was born to Catholic … Continue reading One a day
Well let’s say that if 2020 was eventful, 2021 just told it step aside. National news are quite something today, extremely eye opening. That’s not where I want to go today. Somewhere more important. One of my points for this year was to get a closer relationship with God. Learned at church that worship is … Continue reading The first week
Yes, we are getting closer to the end of this fascinating year! Yes, I’m being sarcastic! I’m wondering though about all the kinds of plans that are getting laid out on journals, diaries or planners for next year. What about the long list of unfinished goals, plans or resolutions from early this year that are … Continue reading Closer to the end

My mom sent me a text a couple of days ago reminding me of the time when I was about 3-4 years old, we would ride the bus downtown, go to my mom’s favorite store, go to their cafeteria and eat a hotdog at end before going back home. I used to sing hymns on … Continue reading Choose Joy
I came across a quote from Joan of Arc a couple days ago, it said “I am not afraid... I was born to do this.” Before we were even conceived, God already had a plan for us to be born and a path for us to follow. When I realized my God given purpose though, … Continue reading God Given Purpose
Deep inside everybody wants to be loved and accepted. That means you have to put yourself out there, and that brings vulnerability and a huge chance of hitting the jackpot or getting hurt. It also requires a great amount of honesty and integrity, and sadly it doesn’t matter what they say, at the end they … Continue reading Just another shiny piece of glass
I was reading my devotional this morning, and it talked about giving grateful praise to God for everything good we have received, and then I read Psalm 100. I could spend all day telling you about each blessing we have gotten from God, but something else came to my mind when reading my Bible. The … Continue reading A reason, a season or a lifetime
