A Hand?

When we have talents and gifts for something, we do not look for help because we are able to do the job by ourselves. When we work in groups and think that we understand the topic perfectly, we will ignore others that are supposed to work with us. When we act that way ( I do it almost everytime..) we are committing a great mistake, because we always need help and support. Everybody has different ideas and a ways of thinking that may improve the final outcome of a project. Asking for help is not a weakness, instead it is a strength. We gather more knowledge when we learn from many people. But there is a limit for everything, even for asking for help. We  have to learn things by ourselves,for example by  reading, analyzing, observing, and investigating what we do not understand very well. If we do not do this, then we are lazy, extremely lazy and that is a weakness!

Be the helper and need the help! We are going to be both through out life and we have to do it the best way we can. With humbleness and willingness in our hearts, expecting nothing back1 God is our help all the time, even though we fail and ignore Him most of the time. Everytime we approach to Him we are listened and helped, but at the correct time which is His time! I decided that from now on I will have a good attitude and I will try to help and work with others to cheer God and many people! I wil be joyful too because I will know that I am making other people happy and just by that fact I will be happy! Reach out a hand then, just like God does, with no conditions just love.

A Potential Mistake or a Potential Success

I have been stuck in a two way road thinking which way should I take! I still have time to think over my decision. What should I do? What will help me the most? What will help others? What can be a brighter future for my life? How will be better to help the ones I love? I do not know yet which way to take but either decision can be a potential mistake or a potential success. There is trouble in my mind tryng to see the entire view of what may be the consequences of both ways, but anyways, is just more trouble for me because i will never get to know the real future. My decision will affect my life, people I love, and my surroundings. I cannot guess, instead analyze the panorama. It is about choosing my career. Should I take what I have passion for or what is more advantageous for my life? I have been prayng, getting advice, but I hae not come to a final decision...but I am getting there, I know I am really close!

When you see a small plant, on the earth you might never guess that it may become into a huge tree and produce juicy fruits. You may get an idea of what is it going to be like if you know what type of tree it is but you know the flavor until you get a bite from the fruits! That is my philosophy, I want to grow into a beautiful huge tree that pruduces delicious fruits for everyone to enjoy! I want to make people happy but through Jesus Christ! I am still a seed, I need some fresh water, I am planted on good soil, but I have to keep looking for my sunlight, Jesus, to grow tall and strong. There is potential in me, potential that God placed in everyone I must put it into work! My decision has to be strong and secure, it will be a risk either of my choice. I will tell you when I get to my final decision!

Tools for School: BrainGenie

In our class we have been able to find many interesting web pages that make our studies more entertaining and engaging activities. Making a class fun, can make an improvement in our learning because we are having fun but at the same time we are learning! On my Biology class on Monday we tested a new page where we performed several quizzes having to do with biology, It was a rather fun activity, I did not even realize that the two hours of class had gone so fast because I was so into the quizzes (Imagine that!). This new site is called BrainGenie. It is quite interesting, you can login as a student or teacher. In my case, I logged in as a student but my teacher (Mr. Jose Popoff) had already chosen a username and password for me and my classmate, that way he may keep a control in our activities in the page as a teacher.

Some observation that I made of this site is how organize all my activity is. I like that because I can see my progress very well and it is not in a mess. Mr. Popoff showed us our progress in his page as teacher. We could see everything in graphs that we could easily understand and read. Performing the quizzes was great; when I had wrong answer the site will show me and my teammates the correct answer and the procedure or explanation of that answer! Excellent Idea! Something I did not like was that questions appeared to repeat and we had to answer them all over again in order for us to complete the task. I loved the page, if many other teachers knew about this page it will be great. We have to share this great sites with others to make education advance and entertaining!

How Can I Help You?

It is hard to help someone who wants to change but does not realize that in order for him/her to make a change there must be a sacrifice and effort. I wish I could help people by just advicing them on what is the right thing to do and why they should do it, but it does not work that way. God is an example; He always tries to help us but sometimes we do not want to face circumstances that are different or hard to go through. Everything depends on your own mentality and what you think of yourself. If a change in your life occurred you must embrace it and accept what will come with mere commitment and you will love the outcome on your journey.

From now on I will do my best to help others by praying for them. PRAYING IS THE BEST TOOL, it is what I can do for now but I know that eventually I will be transform to a tool and will have an action in helping others! Last but not least, everybody wants to change a bad aspect of their life( I am one included) but we can do everything in God if we are willing to have a compromise with Him, we may fail but we can get right up again( I repeat this alot in my blog..probably because I fail constantly!).

My Dream Job

Time is going fast, I am growing up, the end of school is near, and the demand each day is even more. Thinking what I am going to study has been a topic in my mind since I was little, but know it is serious and I have to give my final decision pretty soon. When I was in fourth grade it was all about my future as a veterinarian,because of my love for animals, I also wished to become a famous painter, since drawing and painting is part of my favorite hobbies. Now that I am seventeen (Something that seemed so far away when I was ten!!), people tend to tell you that you have to go for the money, and just for the money, because nowadays it is even more difficult to reach for a dream job even with good studies. Not only this thoughts of people that surround me affected my decision but also my age. I realized, as I went through other topics at school that I like other things! But in my mind I still don´t have a clear idea of what will I get to do!

I talked to God about this and He, in His wisdom, gave me a clue. My dad had to give a small conference at church last Sunday and he got to this topic!! God was talking to me! My father presented a stadistic done in the U.SA. by some people which refered to the most happy jobs which were jobs as being a fireman, pastor, psychologist, civil engineer, and some others I do not remember right now. Why were this jobs called "the happy jobs"?  The reason is because it involves helping others; this is why people who have this type of work love what they do! Helping others will make you feel good inside just by thinking that you are part of a great life changing movement!

I have not taken my decision yet of what to study, but I know that I must do something that will help my beautiful country to reach the Lord!

What Dwells in Me

Recently, a tragedy occured in my country, Honduras, in the city of Comayagua. A state prison got on fire and about 350 men died, most of them were gang members (like a 90% we can say). They were not innocent, but they were human beings and the way they died was not the best. No police guard was harmed and no guard open the gates for the prisoners to escape from the fire! It is incredible how many lifes for the Lord were lost! Moments like this makes us impotent and angry. This men needed of God and I know that He was sad to know his sons were not going to be in his presence. Sin took over them and now there is no turning back!

Apostle Paul once said, And I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. I want to do what is right, but I can’t.  I want to do what is good, but I don’t. I don’t want to do what is wrong, but I do it anyway.  But if I do what I don’t want to do, I am not really the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it (Romans 7:18-20).  Sin leaves within us, and what God wants from us is to learn to beat it and through His strength we can do it! No man on earth is perfect and Our God knows that, when we fail or fall he will pick us up, we just have to asked for help. As christians we can spread Salvation everywhere, just picture how many lives will be saved. People such as gang members need to know about the Lord, and we need to feed our lives with His word!

Childhood Memories

Ignorance is blessed and that is what made my childhood the best time of my life. As a kid, I was always in trouble! I broke the record of breaking my mom´s glassware, I spend the afternoons riding bike along the streets of my neighborhood, I asked awkward question, fought with my sister, picked many homeless animals form the streets, played soccer, and many other fun things that caused many scars on my skin!
That was fun, everything was happiness. One of my best memories was when I escaped with my sister and cousins from my aunt´s house and went to the MANGO TREE! The mango tree was the talk in town among kids, it was the finest place to have some chill time! Only kids knew about it, since it was at the end of the street and surrounded by tall, itchy grass, we could not tell our parents, we already knew (well..supposed) they will tell us there were many snakes there! They were wrong...there were many bees! Anyways, the feature we loved the most, was the swinging branch! We had to make a tower of kids to get someone up the branch, then a tall guy will pull the branch with all his strength and then release it! It was the most fun and dangerous we enjoyed! I laughed like stupid when I got on that huge branch which had the form of a big arm! Miss those days!

Mango Tree is gone. Some people had to cut it to build some houses; a tragic moment! Now, everything is different, I am not ignorant anymore but I still brake my mom´s glassware!! For me it is sad to see that kids do not spend much of their time out of their homes. They are glue to computers and videogames! Kids go out!! Play outdoors, get scars, go crazy, do something! My kids are going to be happy kids I will teach them to be naughty! That is the way they are supposed to be, Kids need to explore more!

Under Pressure

Pressures come in many ways. There are social pressures, between families, financial, sexual, for weaknesses, etc., and everybody in life goes through this. It is inevitable that when we are coming to some kind of argument or weakness we feel pressure, but not by someone else sometimes but it by ourselves. We put the pressure in our backs! Pressures are part of life because everything that surrounds us affects our spirit in may ways. But if you look at the bright side of pressures you can notice that sometimes they are not bad at all! We examine our hearts and face our true character when we feel pressured by something or someone. Should I do it? Will it help me? Am I good enough for it? This kind of questions makes us find our true potential in a positive way, so when this happens be sincere with yourself, and remember that you are good enough for everything through the power of Christ! In other cases, pressures can cause a downfall in our lives. An example of this is when we loose our temper and fall in the hands of anger. We bury our meekness and go right back to a bad habit!

What are you planning to do then if you are face to face with pressure? Will you be angry? Will you examine your heart? Fall into depression? Depression is just an excuse for lazy people who do not confront what is reality, it is having self-pity because you are to worried thinking about yourself rather than loving what you have with you. You may loose everything and everyone but one thing is for sure, GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP ON YOU! If you know this truth then do not be afraid and keep your heart in His hands so he takes care of what comes in and out of it!

Optimistic!

I'm getting all my goals on track! 2012 is a year of new happenings, everything is going well and I hope it continues like this, I mean..it will continue like this! One important aspect I took in consideration to achieve all my goals was being optimistic! If you keep a good thought about everything, believe it...you will enjoy anything! Tested and proved by myself!! My example for optimism will be my good fellow Angie, she is a really sweet and responsible person. She gets really good grades and enjoys listening to others. She is not a big fan of physics but she tries to get the best of the class as she can, and I love that about her. Oooh! And by the way she does not complain that much! Angie you are a great person, keep it up!

Complaining will keep you out of order. When we criticize and complain too much, we tend to loose focus and we just see the negative side of everything!

When we have a problem and we think God is nowhere to be found and feel bad or sad because we think he is ignoring us, we are completely wrong. God is testing our attitude towards hard times and he sees our hearts and behavior. If we keep our head up, God will reach His hand and will be in the storm with us. BUT REMEMBER HE WILL BE IN THE STORM WITH US,he will help not figure out everything all alone, he promises to guard and protect us from evil but we have to find the way with him. It is awesome to know how God works, He thinks in everything and leaves us to our own will,which is how things should be; He wants us to choose the correct path! So, keep in mind that in order to enjoy the ride you must keep a smile and a good thought in mind, everything will be a piece of cake from there on!

Easy Come, Easy Go

I thought for a moment all the troubles I have been through my entire, short life. Since I was a child I crossed with many circumstances that seemed hard to overcome. When I was seven, falling or hitting myself was a problem ( I cried like crazy). When I was twelve getting along with everyone was difficult and fights where everywhere. When I got to high school, building my self- esteem was hard and trouble-like( it still is..sometimes). My body changes was BIG issue too.. I could not get use to the fact that I was growing. Tenth Grada was all about, " Physics makes my life a living hell!". Now, I am just stress about anything... and I am so wrong (Don't panic..I am changing already.)!  Then I thought of the good moments with my family, friends, God, myself, etc. When I think about it I realize THIS IS A GOOD LIFE!

At times, I do not get why we humans love drama! We want our lifes to just like those cheesy movies and T.V. series! It is pathetic (Oh noo.. I am pathetic)! We wnat to feel like if there is supposed to be tension to feel some excitement about something and then we noticed that we could have made everything fun and joyful but because we are such drama queens, we mess everything up! I mess everything up! In this short moment God has grant us here on earth we are suppose to be free and happy and  remember, love God and do whatever you want!

My Blogging experience

In this last year of high school there are many things we should already know, in math, biology, physics,etc. One of the most important requierements we must manage very well is our english. Because is english is my second language, practicing it must become a routine (I wrote this a thousand times in my essays about english!). Writing and expressing myself in this language helps me improve it. Several aspects of blogging makes my english better, like spelling, pronunciation, and writing with sense.

Another thing that makes blog a helpful tool is expression. Expressing what we feel and do makes us innovative thinkers. Everybody has different opinions and believes and through a blog we get to manifest how we feel and what we think abou a specific subject, For example, my blog is completely random. Sometimes I write about things I like or feelings tha affect me. It depends on you and what you will like for your blog to be about. Anyways, everybody loves to share their thoughts!

Is a Mistake an Error?

"Experience is the name everyone give to their mistakes" (James Joyce). How right could this quote be? There is true in it, totally. If we do not have mistakes in our daily life we won't learn how to live or enjoy living! Isn't it crazy how things go around!? From every bad situation something good comes out,a lesson is learned; lessons that we will carry in our hearts that can be to help others so they can't make the same mistakes as we did. WE USUALLY WE DO NOT HAVE FUN MAKING MISTAKES, OF COURSE, BUT MAKING MISTAKES IS WHAT MAKES FUN THE ROAD!

When we are concentrated on a goal or purpose sometimes we do not enjoy the route we take to it, because we are negative along the way and that is what the goal is all about, making everything as positive as we can! Nobody is perfect and God is not expecting for us to do everything perfect, He knows that we are humans and we make mistakes. We fall down but God wants to see how we get up. Be successful when you face an error you cannot reverse, face the fear and move on, it will be hard but the price will be the best!

Alone Again, Naturally!

One of my best friends went to live to the US, I have other best friends but I will hang with her the most and we talked about anything! i do with my other three best friends but with her I went to church and school so we had more things in common to share. I really miss her alot, I cried and cried..and cried because she was leaving adn these days I have felt so lonely inside! I want to joke around with her and talk about boys and other topics that made us laugh and cry sometimes. As I said, I feel lonely, but maybe it can be good but not for long.

Loneliness can be good at times, when you go for long walks, read, meditate of life, or when you pray. Spending time with yourself is good but no for a long time because you do not have to let this feeling tight you up because it can really close you up and you may forget about the importance of being social and spending time with those you love. Even though I have felt lonely I want to be with my friends but I want them to know how I feel for them to support me! I need them! Maybe my dearest friend left but I still have people I love here nd I have to enjoy them and love them! Loneliness is just for a while..but anyways in my lonely whiles I know God is with me and I meditate in Him!

My Type of Friend

I have many friends  that I have known through school, church, and others that I have known because they live nearby or some that I have known since my childhood. No matter how I got to know them, I consider that special someone my friend. We choose the people we want to be friends of  and they chose me. Why? Maybe they like the way we are or probably we just spend so much time with them that we call them friends, For example, I consider my classmates, friends, because I have known them for a long time. I know how they truly are and they know me very well because we tend to do many crazy things when we are with people we feel comfortable. So...friends are everywhere. But, what makes a true friend;that special someone that you choose to carry in your heart no matter the distance or problem you face?

True friends are found in hard situations. When we go through problems that we cannot handle by our own , we will know who is our true friend if we have that person with us the entire time to support us in many ways. Forgiveness is something that is always present in a good friendship, because fights are always present, but they are only to make the relationship stronger! 
At times, in the worst moments there is nobody for me, I do not tell my family how I feel because I do not want to worry them, so I look for a friend to tell them how I feel and to make me laugh when I am sad. I give thanks to God my best friend for being with me and for putting in my life, people who I love and I call best friends! 

Dust in the Wind

After my first day of class this 2012, I  begged my dad for an agenda! I'm very organized when it comes to my tasks and things I have to do so I always keep an agenda with me. My last agenda got lost! I do not know where, but anyways my dad will grant me one, so we went downtown to get one. We inmediately found one and he bought it for me! I was pretty excited because having one keeps my thoughts organized and the stress is less (I guess in some way) . As we returned home in the car, one of my favorite songs was being played on the radio; Dust in the Wind. It is not christian AT ALL, but I really enjoy it's message. The songs tells us about how everything on earth that we do, no matter how good we do it will not matter at the end, and all those things we go crazy about will dissapear because we are just dust in the wind! 

God created us from dust and when we die, we will become dust.What will matter at the end is what we did for God, if we completed our mission, that is what it is all about at the end! I am not saying that I will no longer be responsable and organized but I will no longer take so seriously my problems and my obligations I have to enjoy my time here on earth and be a good christian because God expects that from me, and from you too!

2012! A Change for the Best!

A new year has come to us, this is the beginning of a new opportunity for everyone! Looking back at last year, I realize that I made many promises to myself. I was supposed to change for good some aspects of my life, but I was not able to complete my task. It is incredible how, we humans tend to loose interest in things that we were so excited about once, things that turn into a old memory or wish. Imagine how far we will get if we only accomplish all the plans we have for the year! How good a change will feel!

Take a Road of Change!

I don't feel like promising myself something right now I'm scared of disappointment at the end of this year but I have to make some plans! I will face my commitment in December1 So, my first plan is to read. T.V most not be part of my entire time, it affects my needs for reading since spending time watching television wakes an anxiety and  a need for more of it, so T.V. has to go for at least some hours! Drawing used to be one of my most current activities and I enjoyed my time practicing, that must happen again! And last but not least, I must be more with the Lord, a friend that I have ignore for some time, but yet He never leaves me! I recommend for somebody out there reading my blog, to try to speak to God or search Him, and do not expect an answer immediately, God works with patience and love, He will answer at the best time. To make a change in your life and everyone else life this 2012, start with God, I will do the same! I will inform you everything my blog! SEE YOU!
