I remember that every December 31 was devoted to taking stock, looking for improvement and things to strengthen. However, this last day of the year will give him thanks for what God has given me and believe in his promises for the present and the future, wanting him to do his will in my vida sin que yo fuerce las circunstancias como a veces lo hago o siendo impaciente en mi interior... Anhelo profundamente que llegue un tiempo de esperanza donde pueda ver lo que Dios quiere que haga, aún cuando haya incertidumbre. Deseo de todo corazón que ciertas cosas se aclaren en mi vida y que ya no sienta -como a veces me pasa- esa soledad que de repente viene, a pesar de saber que hay mucha gente a mi alrededor. No saben cuánto anhelo eso...
"Señor, acuérdate de lo que has hablado a mi vida y no calles por favor. Acuérdate de las palabras habladas en la intimidad, cuando, sentados tú y yo, hablábamos de todo con profundo detalle... Enséñame a descubrir tus nombres en medio de every circumstance and there regain my courage. When that happens, let me glimpse some of what your book has been written about me and amaze me what you think I am capable of doing, while I lift my hands to you stating my dependent on you and calling for agenda again and make my day any new "
When I think of this year, the image of memory is tinged with tragic moments. The episodes discussed a thousand times the earthquake, tsunami, mining accident Turbus and prisoners of San Miguel come to mind as a small sample of what has been this time. Following this, hope that 2010 will go soon and that the new year will bring the desired hope we need. Given all, we hope that 2010 will go with all those bad things and 2011 will swallow the despair, evoking times of success and prosperity. In times like this, is good men to lower the trunk of our attics, that virtue so often forgotten: gratitude. I get this question: I can see the good from the bad? o I can rescue the virtues from the faults of others? "I can thank the midst of tragedy? And this is my answer: Yes we can. Because this is my life: to spread the bread with those in need, thank you for the day awake, look around and really appreciate what we have, to honor those we love, without giving to assume that they know that we love, leaving aside the masks and recognize when we have failed to provide service to others without anyone else that they are aware , allow others to confront defense or attack without showing so ... And also something to repeat ad nauseam: bless those who have offended us, give the other cheek [...] [...], to those who hurt us, not being spiteful or selfish with others ...
"This is my prayer, my God ... that this time of year to bring new hope and a renewed devotion to you. What can surrender my life to your service without skimping on the costs, risks or problems. My prayer today is directed towards the future, to what your book has been written about me, to what your will says its new transit new course where, as a new course towards you, as a new time to return to you and love you with all forces, with all thought and all my songs ... To my life you ... for me to breathe life is not less pain, less tragedies and things turn out like my plans have decided that ... but to be with you, vibrate with the same dreams that throb and be day to day in your presence ... To me that is life ... "
Christmas is fast approaching ... children are troubled by the sidewalks of the streets and lights to warn that running away is the 25th of December. Are the same lights that once I'd like to see in its glitter in unison ... always consistent, and songs heard when you came. At Christmas it is life that we appreciate, because Jesus himself came into the world despite the discomfort of a manger.
Before Christmas, I would ask: what are you willing to give? Surely some will be used part of its budget to buy gifts to give to some people nearby. But I I ask again, what are you willing to give? And not thinking about the material things that we proposed trade, and not thinking about how to decorate the house or how to stretch the money to reach for the holidays. What are you willing to give? Wilt Thou forgive that offended you? Will you let pride aside this Christmas? Will you think of the other rather than yourself? Will you put your life in service to others? I encourage you to think of someone who bless before Christmas and I am sure that on December 25 will not be that stressful day we struggle with the pocket to stop spending. I challenge you to think of someone to express the meaning of Christmas ... Les challenge to give life even if you feel you do not, but do not know how to do it ... May this Christmas be different does not depend on how many gifts you receive or give gifts, but we're out of our selfishness and decide to love, despite having been damaged, or betrayed, or left out, etc. True love is not about giving when everything is fine, but one who, seeing mistakes and problems, decide to forgive and move on.

The inspiration for this blog was intended to focus the discourse on the restoration. The word itself means "return to original state" and, of course, that many times in life we \u200b\u200bmust return to the top to start again an issue. Generally much restoration is linked with emotional or relationship problems, but can also mean restore restart or recover an abandoned project that had been aborted dreams. When we force people to be healed, not as well as anything in life that we do in our forces. In this one sees that it is God who brings us closer to himself and gives us the desired restoration. If we trust in him, at some point respond to our prayer and yearning, and heal us ... their own way and time.
When we force situations wears us down and wear down the other. Trusting in God is a challenge of patience and courage to demand of us faith even when we do not see anything or when we see that everything runs completely contrary to our prayer.
When I know I've forced a situation? When I want something and strife but do not see results and deep feelings of frustration looming. This is the time to stop thinking of the hows and whys and deposit it in the will of God. In practice this will of God may be the solution of the problem and its solution not depending on the case ... but above all, trusting in Him will bring peace and hope that things our present and our future are already in your knowledge.
When we force people to be as we want or try to adapt to our way of doing things, quickly generate an erosion of the relationship. The important thing, when such things happen is to have the humility to acknowledge our weaknesses and also the effort to change for the sake of another. Know ... when we understand that in life, breathe a freer air, without the pressure of wanting to control everything and even when there are problems, we can accept the suggestions of others and not act independently at all times. When we fail to persist with God and surrender all of our defenses and fears, his peace and security leads us to change and be more aligned to what we want for our lives.
