We live in a society that’s filled with gossip and rumors. Every day there are opportunities to talk about others.

But as innocent as it may seem to gossip, this actually can keep us from God’s best. Know the importance of keeping quiet. Proverbs says, “Have you heard a word against your neighbor? Then let it die within you.” When we protect a reputation, we are sowing seeds for our time of need. Mercy sets the tone for blessing in your life.

 

Por estas y mil razones mas, ¡Amo la danza con locura!

Mi juventud fue plena y feliz gracias a la Danza, quien me ocupó el tiempo entre clases, ensayos y presentaciones durante toda mi niñez y adolescencia… tiempo y energía que definitivamente no sé en que hubiera empleado si no fuese en ella. Durante estos años yo creía vivir solo emociones, pasión y movimientos. Cuando miro atrás entiendo que era más, mucho mas! La danza me enseño a vivir.

Hoy intento crear un espacio para los jóvenes donde se ocupen con algo productivo y artístico. Donde tengan libertad de ser ellos mismos, pero constantemente me encuentro con gente que no puede ver mas allá de lo que aprenden sus hijos...

Creen que sus hijos están aprendiendo a moverse “lindo”, en realidad están ganando confianza en ellos mismos.

Creen que pasan muchas horas en ensayos, en realidad estarían mucho mas expuestos a cosas negativas en sus propias casas por Internet o en la TV.

Creen que es muy “caro” pagar sus clases, vestuarios y presentaciones, para mi sale mas caro un hijo o hija que no sepa amar y respetar su cuerpo.

Creen que llevarlos y traerlos es molesto, molesto es tratar de adaptar luego a una sociedad a un joven sin puntualidad ni disciplina, sin compromiso alguno.

Dicen que tiene que estudiar mucho y que no tiene tiempo para otras cosas, cuando en realidad estarían aprendiendo a organizarse, a priorizar y a que la vida debe ser un balance de responsabilidades y cosas que nos apasionan también.

Creen que sus hijos aprenden solo giros y saltos, cuando en realidad están aprendiendo trabajo en equipo, tolerancia, respeto y compañerismo.

Creen que son duras las horas de entrenamiento, cuando la realidad es que están aprendiendo a dar su máximo esfuerzo para ver resultados, a sembrar para luego cosechar y esto luego lo aplicarán a sus futuras carreras de elección.

Creen que el arte debe ser algo pasajero, solo cuando no pueden ver que la capacidad de crear y de expresar les va a quedar toda la vida.

Creen que los horarios son complicados, cuando en realidad complicado es enseñarle a un adulto a competir sanamente, a que su valor no lo determina ninguna medalla ni titulo.

Creen que es una perdida de tiempo, cuando no se dan cuenta de que sus hijos están encontrándose a si mismos, aprendiendo lo que es disfrutar sanamente, en fiestas y actividades supervisadas.

Creen que “es mas importante el tiempo en familia” (no digo que eso no sea importante!!!) cuando no conocen el valor de ser adoptado a otra familia donde el denominador común es amar lo que hacemos juntos, aprender de los demás y apoyarnos todos los días. Somos “la otra” familia ☺

Solo algunas cosas para reflexionar…

Turn The Page

 

We cling so much I include myself in always have the reason to anything, that we forget to head down and be humble to listen and be silent when necessary. Let's think, and ask God every day that His wisdom, humility is active in us, we don't need to ask Him to give it to us because we were given 'em when the Holy Spirit came to live in us, but we need to activate 'em every day praying, reading ... everyday life makes us forget those little details that are so necessary in our life, I have experienced it several times during my life even aware of the importance of God in my life, and I keep learning, growing and trying it out, and I must confess that I need more of and from God than before, He still has plans for each of us, although we feel downcast, defeated or even believe that we do not deserve so many blessings, but remember that the mind is treacherous and capricious, we must take control of our thoughts because it can lead us to destruction.

Turn the page and begin a new way, new expectations, renew s you can leave a trace everywhere you go, make a difference...

Galatians 5: 22-24 "God’s Spirit makes us loving, happy, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, 23 gentle, and self-controlled. There is no law against behaving in any of these ways. 24 And because we belong to Christ Jesus, we have killed our selfish feelings and desires."

Proverbs 29:23 "Too much pride brings disgrace; humility leads to honor."

He is Real

 

So, Im here at my office, working but also thinking/meditating on how great is our God. How He takes care of a tiny little things to amazes us and established even more our Faith.

We all have our times of mourn, happiness, sadness as Ecclesiastes 3 tells us; but I'm sure about one thing, and is that if each one of us tell God to please guide, live, be the center of our life, He will do it, because in my personal experience, He is always taking care of me, even when I do stuff He does not like, but His mercy is so fundamental that when I accepted Jesus to come into my life, I knew that no matter what my desicions are, He will always be here for me, because He knows my heart and as someone says "When you get in agreement with God, the incredible greatness of His power is activated and released into your life." As simple as that...

So, today I encourage you to make a deal with God, and you will see what Im talking about... Just believe... How hard is it?

Decide everyday to be happy... and you will see de results!

Hallelujah! He Is Risen!

In that day Jesus Christ returned from death to offer us freedom from sin and a restored relationship with God.

Jesus Christ has been, is and forever and ever going to be the Lord of lords and the King of kings.

“For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!” Romans 5:10

I can not thank enough to the Lord for its plans are perfect.

Happy Easter

The Beauty of the Cross

We never, no today, no tomorrow forget about the real meaning of what the Cross represent... I love this song 'cause it speaks about it... God bless you always!

"Thorns on Your brow
Stripes on Your back
So innocent, You did it all for me
Nails in Your hands
Nails in Your feet
Sword in Your side, You did it all for me
You paid the cost
Thats the beauty of the cross"
