Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Wednesday, November 28, 2012. Note: some of this will be written in Spanish because of the connections. I will translate it in parentheses, even though it sounds better in Spanish.). While it's perhaps not the greatest analogy and perhaps not the best situation, I was hit with the realization yesterday of how much bachata. There's a song that Jesús Adrián Romero does called " Pegado a Ti. Stuck to You) that completely relates to this theme. Basically...

Stop and Take a Breath: December 2012
http://ashgora.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Monday, December 24, 2012. Perhaps not on December 25, but still it happened. Perhaps not with Mary riding into Bethlehem on a mule and pausing at different homes, taking her time to ask every single person if they could spare a room for the night, but it still happened. Perhaps not with exactly three wise men or los tres reyes magos. In fact, we tend to glorify this event so. We forget that Mary could have begun to contract at any point during her arriv...

Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control" (Proverbs 25:28). I have physical needs: food, water, sleep, exercise, affection. I am capable of exerting self-control over any of these areas, to grant myself more or less of them. What are we doing to change that? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Sunday, October 23, 2011. Of course this is a metaphor in addition to a real experience; what else did you expect of me, Reader, especially after seeing all my previous posts? In addition, His sacrifice allows us to have this relationship not only here on Earth but on into eternity. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Who is this crazy girl? View my complete profile.

Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Friday, April 20, 2012. Who is lighting your life? I love how interconnected things can get sometimes. Just thought I'd mention that. I just finished reading a book lent to me by a friend; it is titled Redeeming Love. While this eternal separation issue was solved when God became man (Jesus) and took upon Himself the entire weight of sin in order to restore our relationship with Him, we still have daily choices to make. Just because Jesus died doesn'...

Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Wednesday, March 21, 2012. God is a song. Exodus 15:2 = "'The LORD is my strength and my defense [or song]; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him; my father's God, and I will exalt him." (Moses's and the Israelite's song after Moses parted the sea). What does it mean for God to be one's song? Think about it: The LORD,. And this may not necessarily be correct, because I'm writing and thinking and guessing and making a hypothesis ...

Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Thursday, September 13, 2012. To die daily to pride. Little by little I am learning here in Spain (I'm studying abroad; click here. For blog updates on that! Pride isn't always just "I'm better than you", thought it certainly is. Pride is also "I'm glad I'm not you." Pride is also "At least I'm not like him. And is also "At least I don't do that. Because I don't want people to think I am y. Pride is also "Why is this happening to me. To die daily to pride.

Indifference because as I struggled with the various difficult internal things that started popping up in my life more and more, I started relying less on God and more on my own strength to try to get me through.

Stop and Take a Breath. Just clearing out my head. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. You might be thinking from the title of this post, "Obedience and patience? Those are the two things I like to hear about the least! I know I sometimes feel like that, and it's because obedience and patience are the two things that I need the most right now! Why does God do this whole destruction-punishment thing, and why does He even say he feels grieved about it? So we arrive at chapter 42, and there is only a remnant of Judah...
