The very thought of you...

The very thought of you
And I forget to do
The little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do

I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish, though it may seem to me
That's everything

The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Til I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
You're eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my Love

The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You'll never know
How slow the moments go
Til I'm near to you

I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my Love.

Uptades...

Though I haven't written much neither on paper nor on this site, much has been written in my heart. Over these few months, I've realized that there were many things that needed attention: Incomplete healing, wounds of yore and hidden desires. The Lord put His finger on them.

It's been a few months and the process still continues, and His love for me is more real than ever before.

God is enthralled by my beauty! I never really thought He would... He's liberating me from myself and tearing some unnecessary walls I had built around me.

He loves me.

Among other things:

-I'm reading Captivating by John and Stasi Elderige
- I'm a pre-k teacher

Cuando estás conmigo

I like everything about this song! Like the lyrics, musical arrangements, and last but not least, the artists themselves.
Do I listen to secular music? Not always, but sometimes...



Cuando estás conmigo se llena mi corazón
tiene sentido la vida y el mundo es una ilusión.
Cuando estás conmigo la noche tiene color
y un beso es suficiente para entender el amor.

Y al abrazarte y sentir que me amas salen las estrellas
aún si es de día y todos esos días llenos de vacio se volvieron polvo
porque estás conmigo...conmigo.

Cuando estás conmigo es bello mi alrededor
y una sonrisa tuya derrite mi corazón.
Cuando estás conmigo el tiempo pierde el valor
y una caricia tuya me hace volar hasta el sol.

Y al abrazarte y sentir que me amas salen las estrellas
aún si es de día y todos esos días llenos de vacio se volvieron polvo
porque estás conmigo.

Tiene sentido la vida (porque estás conmigo)
y el mundo es una ilusión (porque estás conmigo)
cuando estás conmigo (conmigo)
es bello mi alrededor.

Y al abrazarte y sentir que me amas salen las estrellas
aún si es de día y todos esos días llenos de vacio se volvieron polvo
porque estás conmigo...

Tiene sentido la vida (porque estás conmigo)
y el mundo es una ilusión (porque estas conmigo)
cuando estás conmigo (conmigo)
es bello mi alrededor.

Jesus alone

Regardless of how much we can rely on our friends, family and beloved, there's nothing greater than relying on the One and Only: Jesus. We as humans tend to be easily seduced by the dimness of temporal beauty and worldly security, that which we perceive as a "sure thing." The tangible. But when it comes to our Christian walk, we must not walk by sight, but by faith.

One of my biggest challenges has been learning to believe in God's promises for my life. I often tend to drift away by holding on to the one thing that I once thought was a "sure thing." When I don't see certain things coming to pass, I regress and regret not having what I once held as secure.

In Luke 9:35, after Jesus transfigured himself before the awe-filled eyes of Peter, James and John, they see Jesus alone. Jesus alone because the precious light of His glory shone ever brighter than that of Moses and Elijah. Jesus stood alone. As He revealed Himself to His disciples, the words of Peter in the previous verses resonate... He is Jesus, the Christ of God!

It is this same revelation that I pray to receive from the Lord when all the "sure things" I used to hold as precious sting my soul with doubt and fear. I pray to be reminded that Jesus stood alone. Though the miracles performed by Moses and Elijah were a "sure thing" of yore, Jesus' glory was greater.

Jesus' transfiguration reminds me that He is my only rock, my salvation, my shelter. Jesus alone.

No matter how much I may come to rely on my beloved, my friends, my family... Jesus will always stand alone because His love will never fail me, so I strive, as Paul encourages the Ephesians, "to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. "(Eph. 3: 18-19, NIV)

May the daily revelation of the Christ of God to us be a constant reminder of His absolute and complete love for us because He is Jesus, the One, the Only Christ of God!

In hot pursuit,

SD...etc


Ps. 62:1-2, 5-7

My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;

he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
My salvation and my honor depend on God;

he is my mighty rock, my refuge.

Charco de Rosas

Ojalá regreses; vuela a mi lado... eso seria un milagro. - SD


Ojalá aparecieras en un charco de rosas
Ojalá te traiga a mi cama en mi sueño de cada noche solitaria
Ojalá y mi canción vuelva a hacer que mi alma vuele
Ojalá que en el mar aparezcas vestida de azul un dia que yo te busque con prisa
Y dejar que me lleve el viento hasta tus brazos...
Quiero perderme en un charco de rosas, solo de rosas
donde no este nadie, excepto tu y yo
para poder desdibujar con mi ardor cada instante de tu cuerpo
quiero un charco de rosas para invitarte al amor desenfrenado de la libertad
y disfrutar cada minuto mojado en mi charco de rosas
Me quedaré esperándote junto a mi canción esta noche,
haré un espacio en mi cama para cuando llegues tarde
y estaré despierto antes que tu en la mañana para proponerte el sabor del café en mi charco de rosas
Ojalá y te me borarras de mi mente
Ojalá que la lluvia me lleve hasta ti
O que pase un milagro o pase algo que te traiga hasta mi.

Prayer and fasting

These last few weeks and the next to come, my home church, City Bible Church is having a 40-day fast.

I'm taking this time to gather my thoughts, dreams and desires and bring them before the Lord as an offering. I will not offer to the Lord something that costs me nothing.

Awaken me Lord!
