Rejection...

How many times do we suffer unbearably, because somebody does not give us what we think they ought to give us, when really they have no perception at all that we even need that?
How many times do we feel rejected by those around us, just because they don't respond to a situation the same way we would?
How many times do we hurt, feeling unloved, when those around us are only trying to love on us to the best of their abilities, but our blinded eyes cannot see this and our wounded hearts cannot feet it?

I've started listening to a series called "The root of rejection" by Joyce Meyer, and it's so sad to hear how many people around us are affected by this. It's even sadder to have to admit that I'm one of them. This is one of the enemy's favorite attack against God's people. Great, however, it is to know that we do not need to continue to live life this way. Great is to know that we serve a powerful God who wants us to live life victoriously and in His Word we find the medicine to our wounded hearts.
Our responsibility? To do our best we can to get to emotional freedom by studying the Word, reading helpful books, listening to series such as this one and trusting God with our hearts.
God's responsibility? To do the rest...nothing is impossible for Him, remember?

Until we meet again....


Today was the day when one of my Grandmothers graduated. She was my Mother's Step Mom. Something God helped me see this past week, was the way in which my Grandpa and her loved each other. I mean, I obviously knew they loved each other, but I hadn't really seen how much until the other day. I went to visit her at the hospital and I walked into the ICU area with my Grandpa, since we got to the hospital at the same time. As he walked towards her, she stared at him and then I was engaged. He leaned over and kissed her on her lips with such tenderness, asked her how she was feeling, she said she was OK. He stared at her and then put his hand inside his pocked and took out a piece of candy. He cut it in half with his teeth and took a piece of it and placed it on her mouth. She looked at him and ate it, as if this was something that he did all the time. The whole scene seemed so sweet, it made my heart melt. My Grandparents loved each other so much after over 70 years of being together...that's beautiful!

I'm glad I was there, I'm glad my Grandpa had a woman who loved him so much that she could overcome the challenges that came their way...and those were many. I'm glad to know that they were so happy together and so close. I'm also glad to know that they will one day meet again in Heaven and maybe angels will witness their love as the candy scene repeats itself.


Goodbye Abuela...until we meet again.






Some pics of Promissa's last event in Boston...

Hey Guys! These are images from our last trip to Boston. We were part of an event from the city of Boston. This event was honoring the baseball player David Ortiz (Big Papi), from the Red Sox. Sorry to have taken so long, but I was waiting to receive the pictures. I just got them...

Getting it all started at the cocktail hour...











Singing Happy Birthday to David Ortiz from the Red Sox...









He liked it.....










We were amazed to see God's grace at work everywhere we went. Looking forward to the next adventure. Thank you all so much for always keeping us in your prayers.
