At the Well of Jacob

In this month of May we are all in one faith. We will go “in spirit” to the Well of Jacob. If you've been frustrated many times in your love life, you think that there is no suitable partner for you or that men are all the same, it is because you have been looking for him in the wrong Well.

At the Well of Jacob you will discover that God has the best for you. No matter your past, where you live or much less your age.

There was a day I also went to the Well of Jacob in order to find the right person. After that I didn’t only conquer the dream of getting married, but I became happy and complete in my love life because I found the person brought by God to me.

Trust me! You can find yours too. Do not miss this opportunity!

Kisses and see you next Monday.

In faith!

What makes us beautiful? - Getting rid of all complexes!

 We live in an empty and shallow world where we are constantly assessed as if we were a commodity. As we walk in the streets, when we enter a store or when we go for an interview we can feel eyes staring at us from head to toe. As if we didn’t have our own conscience accusing and reminding us of our imperfections.

 It could be those extra pounds, those not so perfect teeth, the unruly hair, the not so even skin, the lack of style and so on ...

Oh how these things though being so small and insignificant weighs more than a ton in our consciousness, and the worst thing is that it leaves us feeling abandoned, unappreciated and insignificant. 

“When we let these things affect our inner self is when we lose the glow of life that makes us beautiful.”

 I believe that everyone have heard that famous phrase that says that beauty comes from within. Well, it’s true!

When a person is happy and strong inside she transmits a special glow to everyone around her. She looks, speaks and acts differently and attractively. Everyone wants to be near her because she transmits peace and confidence.

So, the first step we need to take in order to become even more beautiful is to get rid of any type of complexes. No matter what you feel or what you heard. You need to get rid of all the negativity that have being stealing your glow way.

Until you get rid of this complexes it will be really hard for people to see your beauty, and do you know why? It's because people are a reflection of us. It's like a mirror; the mirror reflects our image. If we are chubby it will show and with people is not different. If we are full of complexes and insecurities, people will automatically notice this straight away.

Metamorphosis 1 - Do a self analysis and find out what are the complexes that have been making you to be so insecure. Eliminate them from your life by the power of your mind. Look at them as your enemy and the reason of your defeat. Every time they pop into your mind, you will not only rebuke them but you will also act in an opposite way. For example: if you have complex of your legs and you normally hid them behind a pair of trousers, this week you will overcome this complex by wearing skirts. If your complex is to think that you do not know how to express yourself well, this week you will give your opinion whenever an opportunity arises, and so on....

You will challenge these complexes and eliminate them from your life by doing the opposite of what they are telling you to do.

Let's show to the devil and to the world the beauty of faith that God has placed within each one of us!

Kisses and see you next week!

Watch out for the little foxes!!!

Friends, I went through an experience recently that opened my eyes to something I had not yet noticed.

I'll tell you what it is so you can better understand why we often get stuck in a place, when in reality we could have been right up front.

It is something personal and that brings me great shame. Not because of my weakness but because I have let myself to be defeated by something so small and insignificant as this!

So here we go!

For a very long time I've been trying to lose 5 pounds. I start exercising and stop, I start a new diet and stop... deep in my heart I would love to lose those very stubborn pounds, but then I would think: "Oh, I'm not that chubby! I'd like to lose height, but if I don’t it is ok... after all this is not a serious problem anyways, it is just a desire of mine ... "

Look at this terrible mindset! Just remembering about it makes me angry!

The Holy Spirit showed me that the problem was not of me not losing 5 pounds, but to allow myself to be conquered and dominated by something so silly and insignificant as this.

It is tied up! The Holy Spirit is power, and if He dwells in us so we cannot be dominated by anything, however small or insignificant it may be!

We usually worry and are watchful with the bigger and obvious things, but in reality it is the little and insignificant things that usually holds us back, just because we cannot realize its danger.

They come softly and slowly corrupting and weakening our faith.

Now, be honest with yourself. What are the little foxes that have been dominating your life? Wake up for the danger that lies before you. We need to get revolted against this situation and declare war against every kind of defeat or weakness.

We live in a savage world where only the brave survive!

I want to be one of those brave, how about you?!

Did you like the pictures? Me too! :-)

I love to dress up in African clothing. They are so different from my culture but yet its beauty attracts me so much… 

Something caught my attention when I was looking at these photos. We all have roots ... it may be cultural, regional, or even from our family backgrounds. Each one of us grew up in different ways, and even if you were born in the same country as me, surely you have some different customs, don’t you?!

With so many varieties, the Work of God makes us be mature to understand other people’s cultures, languages and customs as well. God's Love surpasses all differences, so the message of the Bible can be given to all those who believe.

Through this you can understand that if you want to serve God, you must empty yourself and put any cultural baggage behind you, so you’ll be able to make His Will to reign in your life!

Kisses and until next week.

In faith!

What makes us Beautiful? - Introduction

Hello friends, I have missed you so so much ...

I have moved recently and time just wasn’t on my favour ... but I have to tell you that I have not even for a second forgotten about you, and that every time an inspiration would pop on my head my immediate thought would be to share it with you...

But now everything is in its place and I'm now back full of inspirations and ideas to share with you.

Among all the inspiration that came to my mind during these days, one of the things that caught my attention the most is the need that we women have to be considered beautiful not just to people, but in our own eyes as well. We have the need to look into the mirror and like what we see, when it does not happens, a number of other problems starts to rise up as well, such as low self esteem and discouragement.

We know that every woman has within herself the desire to be admired, even if this desire is has been ridden somewhere in her heart for so long…

Just as every man wants to be praised and recognized for his professional and financial success, we women love to be praised and recognized for our beauty.

But what is beauty? Does it only consist of a pretty face and a well sculptured body? Perhaps you have been feeling inferior to others just because you do not have a perfect face or a slim body. But let me tell you something; beauty my friend, is much more complex than these superficial things.

There are many women who are considered beautiful because of her physical assets. They are able to turn the heads of many when waking in the streets, when appearing on the cover of a magazine or in a television. But let me ask you something; are they also considered beautiful by those who know them well? What about their family and friends? What do they have to say about them?

So friends, In order for someone to be considered beautiful, there are a number of things that needs to be taken into consideration, such as:

* Her behavior

* Her self-esteem

* Her consideration for people

* The way she looks and treats others

* Her determination

* Her humility

* Her character and so many other things ...

Therefore, I would like to invite you all to participate of a series of posts I'll be posting here every Friday about how to become beautiful not only in the eyes of people, but in God’s eyes and in our too!

I'll be posting practical examples so we can fully understand and implement them in our lives. We will be learning together over the course of time and I'm sure that if we practice all that we will be learning, we will all become this Beautiful, admired, strong and confident woman that we  so want to be!

Who is in??
