| After facing a spiritual desert it's been very difficult for me to get CLOSER to God again. My old nature has been in control of my life for a while and although I kept trying to get CLOSER to God I failed at it.
It's difficult to realize that you cannot have "the best out of two worlds” There are times when you are only able to get the best out of the best, GOD, but sometimes that is not what your nature wants. Your nature wants the love, the passion, the adventure, and the adrenaline that other people or things can offer to you, instead of the real and only truthful love, GOD.
I cannot say that I am over everything that happened on the last year, I am far away from been over it. I need to keep telling myself that GOD is the only focus that I can have in my life right now. I need to be selfish for a while and make my relationship with GOD a priority. I have never been in detox, but I feel like my spirit, my soul, and my heart need to go through a detox process. I need to clean my system little by little, get all of those toxins out of it. It is freaking difficult to go through a cleansing process because there are a couple of things in my life that I don't want to let go, but with God's help I know I will. Like any other process, it will take time and I don't know if the people that I hurt will give me one more chance to make things right. My prayer is that they will because I truly miss them in my life.
My friends, if you read this note please pray that I will be able to get CLOSER to God. That He will give me the strength to get out of my depression and that my sorrow will become joy. | | |
| I witnessed a robbery last Friday and a gun was pointed at me for it. A lady was using a pay phone on the street and right when she hung up the phone, a guy came with a gun and stole her purse. I happened to take a turn on that street and witnessed everything. What I didn't know was that this guy had a "friend" in a car waiting for him.
As soon as he saw me, he pointed his gun toward me and I thought he was going to shoot me. Instead he ran to the car and they started chasing me. Both of them had their guns out and pointing at my car. I was really close from my house, but I didn't want to make them follow me home. I tried to think of a place where I could go and ask for help. Finally, I remembered that a block away from my house there is a business that has security guys outside all the time. I drove as fast as I could, missed a couple of stop signs and got to the business. I parked and started yelling "I am been followed by some robbers, please help me." At first the security guys could not understand what I was saying but they saw the car and the guys with the guns passing by the street.
After waiting for a while, I drove home. My dad was home and I told him what happened. I was very shaky and I could hardly speak. I have been pretty anxious and since then every time I see a white car with tinted windows I freak out. I can officially say that for now, I HATE WHITE CARS WITH TINTED WINDOWS!!!!
I never thought I would have a gun pointing at me, but things happen. Feeling so vulnerable is horrible and it makes you realize that you are not in control of your life. I have always struggled with my perspective of life and how it might end, but I always thought I would be in control of it. | | |
| Sometimes I wish we were never told that we will fall in love. People tends to share their nice love stories, all of the things that they went through to be able to date that special person...
Hardly ever someone will tell you that you will fall in love but that you might end up heartbroken as well. That for some of us love, real love, the person that you want to spend the rest of your life with might be the person that you'll meet after been heartbroken several times. Not all of us meet that first and only person like others do. I don't know if it's about been lucky or that for some people love comes when they're 20's and for others when they're 30's.
Either way, I just wish that you could get a package that would prepare you for the different stages of life "Welcome to High School", "Dating, All the Details You Need To Know", "Heartbroken, It Might Happen More Than Once", "Marriage, An Amazing Experience", "Welcome to Parenthood"...
Sometimes it seems to take forever to get over someone when you try to do it on your own. I know that in all of these moments we are called to turn to God and ask Him for direction, wisdom, and comfort. It's difficult, especially when your relationship with God has been unstable for a while, getting back to an intimate relationship with Him takes work but it also refreshes your spirit, soul, mind, and heart.
I guess nobody wants to tell you that love can be hurtful, that you should prepare yourself to love and forgive, to love and let go...

| It's funny how we spend so much time planning our lives. We plan family weekends, spring break with friends, romantic dinners... Some of us even spend time thinking what we're gonna wear the next day and we don't even know if we will get to wake up again.
It's nice to think that I will get old and have a family, and that I will spend my entire life right next to person that I love. Unfortunately, the only one that knows how life will turn for us is God. Even if we think we can have control of our lives, we don't... I never know if I will make it back home after work or not, if I will have good health or not... There are so many things that we cannot stop from happening to us and we don't understand why they happen.
So, why should I dream? Why should I plan my life if there are no guaranties that I will get to accomplish what I've planned? It really doesn't make sense. Instead it makes me sad because I hate the unpredictable, I hate not knowing where I will be in ten years or what I will be doing. I guess human nature has made us that way...
I will keep dreaming and planning because I cannot live my life otherwise. I have to have a dream, a goal to keep me going because lately my faith is not enough. I still belief in God, but my dreams and motives to live have changed and I don't know if He will approve them because I've realized that what He had planned for me is not what I want to do anymore.

| 1. MSN with your coworkers and get all of the office gossip and rumors before meeting with your boss.
2. Go get a snack and chat with your boss' assistant for one hour. Just listening how much work she has, but you know you will be the one who will end up doing it for her.
3. Downloading your boss' music from LimeWire. She says is for a "very important meeting" AKA Alumni meeting at her house on Friday.
4. Cooking lunch for the rest of the office. This will take anytime from 1 to 2 hrs depending on the menu. Yes, we do take turns to cook!
5. Go bakery shopping for your boss. She is craving Apfelstrudels (yummy pastries with apple filling) and ham and cheese croissants and a variety of cookies for "Coffee Break" in the afternoon with coworkers.
6. Making you boss look 10 yrs younger thanks to Photoshop CS2 
7. Editing video for 20 min every other hour. This is your priority but not your boss' priority! After all lunch time and Coffee Break are more important.
8. Calling your mom to remind her to pay your cell phone bill before they disconnect your phone.
9. Sending your weekly report and your project's progress. This is when you get really creative and you say things like "I've been retouching some pictures, so that they will look good on the brochures" meaning "I've photoshoped my boss' pics so that she can look 10 yrs younger on the brochure.
10. Uploading your Xanga
Well my friends, don't be too lazy. Go back to work and enjoy the rest of your day  | | |
