the shelter

ok, I should have logged in on the 1st or 15th I forget now but this is the verse I memorized:

My gracious favor is all you need. My power works best in your weakness. 2 Cor 2.9. I think it´s NLT.

The one I´m working on now, is the same verse, different version.. I LOOVED this!!!

My grace is sufficient for you. My power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore rather I will boast in the weaknesses of me, that the power of Christ MIGHT BE A SHELTER over me... For when I am weak, then I am powerful. 2 Cor 2.9-10, Greek-English translation.

I loooved this idea of Christ´s power being a shelter over me. God knows I had been struggling so much with trying to CONTROL and fight sin(s) in my life with my own strength- and how when I finally stopped He gave me bigger victory than I had experienced. Oh, and the idea of a SHELTER, that His power and He would be my shelter, brought me back to the idea of HOME, of how much in the midst of all my struggling I had wanted so desperately to find a shelter from it all-- and I think I may have even asked for one. Ahhh, God knows.... and when I saw this verse, I was so thankful. Yes, I want Christ´s power to be a shelter over me. :)

trying again...

bueno, no me he portado muy bien con esto y el otro día estaba pensando q debo retomarlo. I´m not too much into logging in on the 1st and 15th of the month but maybe it´s just what I need so I´ll actually do it. Este versículo lo encontré en el libro de Hechos y me encanta:

Porque para vosotros es la promesa, para vuestros hijos, y para todos los que están lejos, para todos los que el Señor llame. Hechos 2.39. Need to ck on the actual reference. But I love it because it speaks to me of how God´s promise IS for everyone, and that in the midst of the hard things Peter was saying to the Jewish people, He was saying, this promise is for YOU. And for all who are far...

Ya tengo mi siguiente versículo: 2 Cor 2.9-10. See you on the 15th GW!!

dos más :)

ok... just to write them down: I loooved this first one, the second came to mind this morning:

Porque como la altura de los cielos es sobre la tierra, engrandeció su misericordia sobre los que le temen. Como está lejos el oriente del occidente, hizo alejar de nosotros nuestras rebeliones. Como el padre (o la madre, mi versión) se compadece de los hijos, así se compadece Jehová de los que le temen. Porque el conoce nuestra condición; se acuerda de que somos polvo. Sal 103.17-19

Come and see that the Lord is good- blessed is the man that takes refuge in Him. Sal 34.8
Venid y ved que es bueno Jehová- bendito el hombre que confía en El. Sal 34.8

evangelismholic ;(

aaaahhhh... I´m tired today and need to go to bed soon. Just wanted to write this one phrase I thought long and hard about the other day... I don´t have a good relationship with evangelism. It seems that I will either ignore it (not truly ignore it, but just live my day to day life happily without thinking about it too much but trying to find creative ways to share about Jesus) or that I will OBSESS with it. And I hate this. I finally had to figure out something was just not right. So I´m in the process of letting God show me what in the world is going on- what deeper issue needs to be brought to light. I hate it.

But I know it´s good- because if I want to serve Him as I want to and am planning to- this relationship has to be healed. Would you pray with me that He would? I know it´s what He desires. May it be so...

moni´s memories :)

Bueno, no sabía si publicar un blog. And I don´t know if it will be in Spanish or English! Since I don´t know who or what I´m writing for, spanglish will do. Well, yes it´s for You, Lord first and foremost and for me. Yikes, I don´t want another distraction.

Today I wanted to write the Scripture I´ve been memorizing this year. God has been good in helping me accomplish several goals this year, and one of them is this. February 6th. These are the verses I´ve memorized so far this year:

-He aqui que yo estoy contigo, y te guardare por dondequiera que vayas, y te volveré a traer a esta tierra. No te dejaré hasta que haga todo lo que te he dicho. Gen. 28.15- our church´s Bible verse for this year!!!

-Pues no nos ha sido dado un espíritu de esclavitud, para andar otra vez en temor, sino que se nos ha dado el espíritu de adopción, por el cual clamamos, "Abba, Padre!" Romanos 8.15

-Jesús le dijo, "Si puedes creer, al que cree todo le es posible." Marcos 8.23. Este me encanta!!! :)

-En el amor no hay temor, porque el perfecto amor echa fuera el temor, porque el temor trae en sí castigo, de donde el que teme no ha sido perfeccionado en el amor. Nosotros le amamos a El, porque El nos amó primero. 1 Juan 4. 18-19?


Yei! Esos son mis cuatro versículos so far. Algunos ya los sabía. Creo q lo q necesito es más tiempo para dejarlos enraizarse en mi corazón. But so far, it´s good!!! :)
