Weekly Devotional "Snow"
Dear readers,
I apologize for not posting a weekly devotional in a long time! I finally have some time to share one with you, so here it goes! hope you enjoy it. :)
It was a cold day. The blizzard from the previous day had finally calmed down, and I could even see a glimpse of blue sky in the distance. I didn't feel like going out, even though I always enjoyed going out every morning to do chores, but today I thought that it was way too cold for any sane human being to be outside, but nevertheless I pulled my winter boots on, and the fifty layers of coats and vests that are needed so that you don't freeze, and headed to the barn.
I was half way there, and my face already felt frozen, I was struggling to walk without falling, but the snow was up to my knees. I was panting hard, so I decided to stop for a few seconds to catch my breath, I fell on my back, staring at the sky, letting the snow flakes fall on my face, and thought how awful and uncomfortable Winter can be, but how the snow makes it beautiful.
After a little while, I stood up, and started to walk towards the barn again, looking around me I was reminded of the verse in Psalms that says: "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow."
"Wow, whiter than snow?!" I said out loud, and grabbed a handful of snow. I thought how wonderful it would be if the Lord could do that in my life, "I want my heart to be white as snow" I whispered. "I want my life to be beautiful in Your eyes, Lord, as I see how beautiful the snow is in the midst of the freezing, deadly Winter." After I had finished all the chores, I made my way back to the house, I couldn't wait to go back and have a warm cup of coffee, but instead of heading straight to the house, I stayed outside a little longer appreciating the beauty of the snow, soon, I went inside to get my camera.
I learned that God is in the details, that He speaks to us through Creation, and that there is always something beautiful in the middle of something terrible.
I was inspired to make a video, which I named "Snow":
Thanks for watching, and for taking the time to read my little experiences, I appreciate it a lot!

Weekly Devotional 1
Dear readers,
I would like to share with you personal lessons or short messages every week that touch me in a special way, with the hope of someday touching hearts that are in need of encouragement.
I do this, mostly for myself, hoping to draw near to the Lord, as I contemplate His goodness in my life and on this whole Earth.
I would like to start this week with something that the Lord has been putting in my heart lately:
And that is dreams....everybody has dreams! I don't mean the kind of dreams that you have while you're sleeping, those are okay sometimes, except when they're like the one I had the other night where I dreamed that I was losing all of my hair....not nice.
Anyway, I'm talking about the kind of dreams that are more like wishes.
Now that I'm getting closer to the finish line in school, I've thought a lot about my dreams, and things that I would like to do with my life. Well, I came up with a lot of them! I had a huge bucket list of dreams, so I started asking the Lord to show me which one I should choose. I came to a point where I even felt frustrated because I couldn't see how many of them could come true.
Then one day, as I was doing my morning devotions, I started singing the song that goes: "Take my life, make my life just like you want it to be. Lord, please change me, change me dear Lord."
And suddenly it struck me, instead of asking Him to help me choose one of my wishes, I needed to ask Him to use my life for His wish! that might require a lot, but am I willing to give Him my all?
And so now I want to face adulthood from a new perspective, it's okay to dream, to plan, as long as you're willing to let Him choose what is best for you.
I've learned that if I put everything on the altar, God receives it, and returns showers of blessings. Not always in the way or time that we expect it, but in the best way, in His perfect timing.
I love the Christian point of view from a water cycle illustration:
God bless
