When rejection hurts...

Nobody likes to be rejected.
But when it happens,it leaves a bitter feeling,a feeling of failure..That was happened with Caim of the Bible,this week we studied about him in a bible group,he was a man who worked with hard earth,not really kind,more pratical,on the other hand his brother Abel was kind and liked to express his feeling openly,so when God asked a sacrifice we see a little competition,not to win money or respect,but to win God's approval.But there was a difference Caim took just waht is left,Abel was careful to see the perfect lamp and had to do a work hard to make an altar,the end of story is when God saw both of sacrificies he was pleased with just one:Abel's.
What Caim felt that moment?To be rejected by God,the creator of the universe didn't like his sacrifice,and from nowhere an anger,envy and jealously so badly that the only thing that he could ever think about it was to killing his brother,and he actually did.
But what about us,sometimes we're so angry with God because he has given so many things to other people that we're tempted to think that we've been forgotten,those moments the anger is so fierce and questions start:Why me?What I did wrong?Why God is allowing this?But God gave an answer to Caim:If you did the good,you wouldn't be accepted?Sometimes what we need to do is just forget  about the cost,the work that we'll have,we need to do a sacrifice that we meant to do,atittude with a meaning,that way our God is gonna be with a big smile in his face saying:"Well done."

Discovery of the year!!!


I love english,I really do.
Lately I have found amazing artists like Ben Cantelon,33 miles,Francesca Battistelli,Natalie Grant,Big Daddy Weave,JJ Heller,Shane & Shane,but the two singers that made me proud of hear their music are Britt Nicole and Starfield.The lyrics so honest and deep,is like a prayer of my own,the melody gives you a feeling of eternity so good...what about you,who are your favorite singers?

Should we follow our feelings?

For a long time,we heard people saying:'Follow your heart and you'll do the right thing.'
Lately I wonder about that.

For a long time(literally),I've been in love with someone,but it seems that he has two options in his sleeves; he doesn't feel the same or he's shy to say what he feels.I really wish that is the second,but what if it's the first?What should I do,with feelings for someone a little slow?Sometimes in one of those crazy thoughts I wonder if I wait,he will turn out to be what I wanted or not,if I should give a change for a really good guy who likes me,but right now I'm afraid to get involved.The point is,is right trust in our feelings when there's a chance to be wasting time and losing a really good change to do the right thing?
What is the right thing to do when you don't want hurt the feelings of someone but is hurting yours for wait the person who doesn't give a sign of life for you two?

Fight for the family!


One thing is certain:you only care about what you have,when you lose it.


Lately,I've been talking less and watching more,and I can say that I'm learning a lot about real life and relationship,last week I had a fight with my sister,about how she wasn't spending time with her daughter to be with her friends,the fact was true,but the way that came out was wrong.There I was,angry with my family for nothing.But one thing came to light:anger and unforgiveness brings a lot of trouble.When you're angry with someone whether like or not,you just can't be at peace with God,he's righteous and if we don't talk with people because we're angry with them,is not fair to expect that God answers our every prayer.I realized that my family is just strong when we are happy with each other,each one of us do something in church,in the kingdom of God,every atitude,every action causes an impact,but this impact will only be the presence of God if my family stays together in peace.

I couldn't really feel the peace of God these days,but today when I prayed for this and spent the afternoon talking with them,a peace came to my heart and here I am..happy again.
