I had a revelation. This happens to me a lot, I think Im too much of a thinker. I need to stop worrying about the things I cannot control. Sometimes I worry about things that never even happen, talk about a waste of time and worry. God says not to worry, why would you if you have him running the show. So I had a revelation which brought me closer to God and that alone will change anyone's life for the better.
I was living such a bitter life. I was being very selfish and resistant. Resistant to living in Argentina. I was against it from the start but did it because I love my husband and at the time it was the best decision for our family. I thought of living here as a temporary place and therefore never allowed myself to be happy. I was hurting only myself, although everyone knows that a bad attitude is just as contagious as a smile. So everyone around me was also being affected.
Don't get worried, California family and friends, this is still a temporary place for us but it doesn't mean it has to be a miserable place in the meantime. That's all in my head. Beauty is found in the eyes of the beholder. Some times its hard to find beauty, but it's always there. There is something about having two very different lives that I have come to love. I dont want my children not to know where they come from. Meaning the United States and Argentina. My poor children will not have a normal life, the idea for our family is to live in one of these countries and during the summer be in the other country. My children, I know since I was one not too long ago, will want to spend the summer with their friends from school or the block or church, but for them, they will have to spend it in another part of the world. I know it will be hard for them to understand, but they will be better people because of it. They will understand that there are so many different types of people, cultures, and norms, and everyone deserves to be loved and viewed not by the way they talk or dress or greet you with too many kisses, but by who they are as a human being. Its Gods judgement, not ours.
The most important thing to remember, that I have almost completely forgotten about is to stop and worship. I have always been raised around the word of God and my children will be too. No matter where we are living in this world they will have the foundation they need to do anything they set their eyes upon. That's how I know our plan will be successful, because God promises that I can do anything through him. I shall go wherever he leads me to go, and I shall never be unhappy as long as He is in my life. I will continue to follow him and learn what exactly it is that he put me on this earth for, what is my talent and what I should do with it.
That feels so good to say!
When I told you I had a revelation, I wasn't joking. My mind started going crazy and I knew that some change needed to made, I no longer allow myself to be just a body. I was making no movement in any direction and might as well have been nothing. I think there are so many people that believe in God yet do nothing about it. Which is almost the same as never hearing his name at all. I was one of those people. But not anymore! I am unstoppable. I am beautiful. I am worthy through Christ Jesus. I hope this encourages some of the people who read my blog. Most of you know it's been a rough 2 weeks and this is what happens when you're in the OR twice in seven days. Through my surgery God brought me closer to him. He always has a plan.
God is good!! Enjoy the weekend and the pictures :)
