We are preparing this coming weekend with another pastors a conference, about marriage, and we will be sharing about one flesh. We read in the book of Genesis 2:21-24 that God expressed that man shall leave his parents to become one with his wife. As we talked with a friend and pastor, we shared the idea of a lemonade, is not the same as water and lemon, it needs to be stir, mixed for a while until it gets the proper flavor, now if it is too much, lemon, will be too, sour or if it has too much sugar will be too sweet, so we understand that has to have a proper balance where every part provides enogh to complete the process of having a perfect lemonade, and cold of course in a summer day. Now marriage is similar, men, has his own ideas, own feelings, own visions, own plans, own perspective as women also. When we have meetings in our boards, whatever organization it is, the sharing of ideas is very important and very needed to allow every one to feel part of it, and to be part of the upcoming changes, now the problem starts when the decision is made, whos idea must be the one to take place? In marriage there are a lot if common interest, but most of the times, it seems the selfhishness arise and ego takes charge, and the battle starts becuase we cant understand why the other person is so selfish, now this is a complitcated part, because both part may be experiencing, emotions, real emotions, that are causing both to fight over a desicion, wheter for money, about education of the kids, about a house or a car, when we are in that situation, thats when we have to remember that over our priorities and personal interests, there is God, always waiting on us to give Him space to work, and He always has the better idea, anb better plans. Now in order for us to let God work, we need faith, not in the other person, but in God, that if we allow Him to operate through His word, in our hearts, we will experience what it is really, to have a marriage, guide by the Power of God, and we will see different results, and different blessings. Dont let the world conquer your heart by telling you what you should or not to do, always remember that God loves you, and He is willing to guide you as couple, so your family enjoy the full benefit of His life. God bles you.

El amor todo lo puede, es verdad.
Every day is a new day, but most of the time we take it for granted, and normally we bring yesterday’s worries, giving us the feeling of just another day. Some times we start the day with pain from a past day, which produce in us a new pain in a new day, from a past event. We must forgive, we must leave behind any resentments from what somebody did to me, or the guiltiness from what I have done. God’s mercies are new every morning, and with that I know that every day is a new opportunity, a new step in life to do better, to grow for good, to make changes in our lives, but it is a must to leave yesterday’s behind with all it’s attachments so we may experience a new day as it is.
There was a man that was carrying so much luggage on his trip to a high mountain, he was so prepare for any inconvenience, wheatear, for the night, over his back, folded tent, tools to hike, some knifes in case any animal, also a rifle, binoculars, even his boots were very special and add more weight to his back. The man was strong, and start his journey to an amazing adventure, go to the top to have better view. During his new journey he was using all he had, even use the rifle to defend himself from a mountain lion, he felt so good about himself. During the nights he prepared fire, and even went to a river to fish. The last day of his journey found a stretch trench, we’re it seemed hard to go trough, but he forced himself to do so, and in the process he hurt himself with the knife, and he was bleeding, he kept walking and found a little hold in the ground and needed to jump, he did and when he landed, the rifle went off and shot himself on his shoulder, but the man was determined to have a new experience, a new vision, he wasn’t willing to quit, he was really close, but wounded, finally when he was almost there, he found a small breach, made from an old fallen tree, he was so exited, there on the other side, there was the top of the mountain, his goal so close, yet so far. He intended to go over but, the tree cracked and the man went on his knees to secure himself and not fall down, he taught, all this time, could’ve been lost if a have fallen, he tried to crawl but the tree kept creaking, he was bleeding, but he wanted to have a better time, then he made a decision, “I can’t keep on going with all this weight on my back, and he threw everything away, leaving himself but nothing than his clothes, yes he stilled wounded, but now he was able to finish and went to the top of the mountain and was able to see the new sight, new vision and was able to see the new city in front of him, were all his wounds were healed. Stop carrying so much on yourself, so you can experience a new day in your life, and let the Doctor ahead of you, heal your wounds. God bless.
Love is more than just give, requires patience also to wait until the other believes to the love
every word has the power to transform, make sure is for good
Inner hate kills your potential.
When Miss Fear knocks your door, tell her you taken by Love.
Abre Espacio para Dios (Gen. 26:22)

Isaac, el solo recordar la historia del nombre de este hombre que supo responder a Dios a su voz y voluntad, da risa. Abraham y Sara ya eran viejitos y estaban en la edad que se piensa, ya viví mi vida, hice lo que pude, lo intente, falte en muchas cosas en otras triunfe. Ellos podían decir, en tener hijos fallamos aunque lo intentamos una y otra vez no pudimos. En ese tiempo estaban cuando Dios se les aparece, interviene y le dice a Sara, para el otro ańo tendrás un hijo de Abraham, y ella se rio, porque dijo, a mi edad todavía tendré placer? Sucederá que cualquiera que sepa esta historia se reirá conmigo, por eso llamo a su hijo, Isaac, el sonriente. Ahora bien Isaac había crecido, su padre había muerto y asi como su padre, el deseaba ser grandemente bendecido como tu y yo lo deseamos. Isaac uso en primer lugar las enseñanzas de su padre, porque en lo natural todos pensamos que la manera de alcanzar las cosas es como otros lo han logrado. Isaac, al igual que su padre, fingió ser hermano de su esposa, asi como lo hizo Abraham con Sara y de esa manera, Abraham fue bendecido, se le dieron riquezas. Isaac siguió ese comportamiento que funciono igual que a Abraham. Luego, Isaac, se dedico a reabrir los pozos que su padre había abierto, y aunque encontró agua, no podía prosperar, porque lo que su padre había hecho o dejado, otros habían participado y ahora había contienda. Al primer pozo le llamo Ezak, contienda, no importa que tanta abundancia halla, si hay contienda, no hay prosperidad. Isaac dejo el lugar de la contienda, con su gente, su pala y pico y a empezar de nuevo, reabriendo otro pozo que su padre había abierto, y salió agua, pero no prosperaba, porque hubo riña, intereses en conflicto, y no podía prosperar. El pozo Sitna. Una vez mas se aparto y abrió un pozo nuevo al cual le llamo Rehobot, y aquí Dios le prospero, porque ya no hubo riña. Es mas fácil seguir la tarea que otro a comenzado que empezar de cero, pero se prospera mejor al empezar sin riñas. Cuando Isaac, abrió el ultimo pozo, Dios se le apareció, porque donde hay riñas y contiendas Dios no esta. Se le apareció y le dijo, no temas, estoy contigo y te bendeciré. Entonces Isaac abrió el pozo de la aceptación o la fe e hizo un altar y el resultado final, tuvo paz con sus semejantes. Jesus dice: no le resistas al que te quiera quitar algo. Isaac, lo experimento, un principio de bendición, haz espacio para Dios, como? Despojandote de lo que otros pelean, dejando la contienda, dejando la riña, deja lo que otros creen tener derechos, empezar de nuevo no es fácil, pero si lo haces en paz, Dios te prosperara en lo que haces. Haz espacio para Dios, el lo llenara de todo clase de bien, alejate de los que siempre contienden por todo, es preferible un pozo chico en paz, que mil en contienda. Abrir tu pozo, trae lagrimas, soledad, abandono, sobre todo humillación. Si pensamos por un momento, los pozos eran de Abraham, el podía decir, son la herencia de mi papa y luchare por ella hasta la muerte, tenia derechos sobre los pozos, pero decidió hacer espacio para Dios y se negó a su herencia, y Dios le dio una mejor. No pelees por tus derechos, deja a Dios darte unos nuevos y serán ampliamente bendecido.
