GOD LIVES... I know because HE lives in Me!!!

In the midst of it all when I let the world into my head I begin to fear and have moments of weakness and God is always there to draw me back. No one but God knows what I am going through and NOONE but HIM can understand the fear I live with everyday: the fear of not loving enough, not learning enough, not laughing enough, not living enough. The fear of what will be if I am no longer.


AND yet I live in AWE everyday in this AWESOME experience, I have learned how beautiful life is, how great the sun feels on my skin, how melodious it is to hear the birds chirp, to pay bills, to go to work, to shower, to hug, to kiss and to love. I am so FOREVER grateful for this life that HE has given me (although I am not worthy). The great family and friends that HE has hand selected to walk this path with me. I make plans and God changes them, sometimes I FEEL they don’t seem to be the best plans for me but that’s OKAY, because God promises that HE has plans to PROSPER me, NOT HARM ME, Plans for a HOPE and a FUTURE!! SO GLAD HE HAS PLANS THAT ALWAYS WORK OUT. I’m glad I did not write the book on “Me” because only the perfect author, the all-knowing-everywhere-at-one-time-God, could make my life a living fairy tale because HIS timing is perfect, and HE puts me where HE wants me to be at THIS and every moment to be able to experience the AWESOMENESS of HIS divine plan.

I remember one day at Potential Church when I was teaching in Kids Ministry when I taught of the story of Esther and I could not make it through the teaching without shedding a tear and praying that I wished I was her, I wished that I was saving a nation, leading a multitude of people to the King. I prayed for that (2008) and I waited, I went on with my life and prayed for that, I got pregnant (2010) and prayed for that, I got Cancer (2012) and I prayed for that and one day God had someone speak to me. They told me that God was preparing me for my dream of leading people to Christ, she told me that he was writing the details of “My Story” – the story I would share with the world to show of HIS mercy, HIS blessings and HIS hand in ALL that is, that was and that will be. She said, make this your motto “ Vivire y contare de las obras de Jeova” – “I will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.” AND SO IT IS!!!

I am living and proclaiming that CANCER WILL NOT TAKE ME, the DEVIL WILL NOT BREAK ME because I am HEIR to the throne of the ALMIGHT GOD: JEHOVA-JIREH, the ALMIGHTY PHYSICIAN JEHOVA-RAPHA, the eternal and everlasting GOD: EL OLAM.

As I write this I SMILE from ear to ear and CRY because I can see HIS HAND work IN ME and FOR ME. The best thing out of all of this besides my relationship with GOD is: “Sometimes the dreams that come true are the dreams that you never even knew you had” AND boy are these DREAMS spectacular!!!

Praise GOD & today & everyday give thanks!!

Prayer Works

For the past few months lots and lots of people have been praying for me and my family. You see as the days get closer to my first surgery the nerves start to creep in. Not because I don't faith because that I AM SURE i have, but because my skin is anxious for it to be over. The greatest thing that this has shown me is that God is here with me through it all - he has given me life three times. He gave me life when he spoke my name and gave me renewed life when he called me to baptism and now he has cured me of disease. Prayer works I prayed for his presence and mercy and has presented with this unexpected predicament throu the most Godly way that he answered my prayer. I have always prayed to be strong like Ruth and deep down I've always wanted to be like her to save a nation and you know what - God granted my prayer. Through this trial that he has placed in my life I have learned to hold HIS hand real tight and to proclaim HIS victory over me. I have lost the fear of speaking of HIM to anyone, I have shared My Story with complete strangers and given HIM all the glory. Those that know me have seen the strength that only God can give in me and they have commented that I am a great example of HIS work and that this will become a great testament for me and HIM. Like Esther I am saving a nation in God's own way, I'm a testament to my family, friends, doctors, acquaintances and to anyone that will listen. I will led HIS people to freedom and into HIS arms. I proclaim that in Jesus Name many will be saved by my story and the great impact I will make in this world. So when you feel like another prayer won't help or won't do anything. Get on your knees and pray because the answer will come on HIS timing not yours and when it DOES come it will be a greater blessing that anything you ever imagined. I love my God and always will. Your very humble and faithful sister in Christ - Connie.

Have a blessed day and remember no matter how small your problem or issue may be, pray about it because to God everything is smaller than him!!!

Happy New Years

Each New Year's Eve with a few minutes left in the current year we make resolutions that we don't always keep the new year round. This New Year's make it a point to laugh louder, live harder and enjoy.

• Work hard to do what you do well.
• Work on keeping long-lasting relationships.
• Set aside or close the door on those people, places and things that make you miserable.
• Start to learn that new skill you have been putting off for years.
• Start that degree you keep dreaming of.
• Visit the doctor and care for your health.
• Cherish your family so that everything you do can have greater meaning

Most of all be happy!

Stay safe and Happy New Year!!

See you in 2013!!

There is no time like the present

In the next few days, 2012 will end and 2013 will start. I say we should put aside all the issues and start 2013 on the right foot. I've been lucky that in these last days of 2012 I have rekindled long term friendships and have nurtured old family relationships. Lets lay to rest the petty things and learn to smell the flowers and live the way God intended.  Among family and surrounded by the people God placed in our lives. There is no time like the present to live, love and learn to add a little spice to your life. Remember: Everything tastes better with Frijoles on the Side!!!
