John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Thursday...


"From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another" John 1:16

He is the King of kings and Lord of lords, we are so bless when out of His mercy He grants us what we need, not exactly what we want, but what we need.
He is the great provider, friend (in the Bible He refer to us as friends!).
My car started to play games w me, so took the boy to a garage... = sick... the poor thing was leaking oil, but to repair that was out of my hands...however I prayed, and God provided a way to get it fix...Thank you Jesus!
I don't deserve anything, but when I am in need He is always there..."from the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another"...
I thanks Jesus for all His mercy and blessings received (friends, family, provision, etc). He knows my needs and your needs too!
With Love in Christ,
Sofia
ps: here a pic of my and my good friend Jenny that came all the way from Virginia to see me and take care of me =)

What is going on...

"He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He pulled me out of deep waters" Psalm 18:16

Updates:

My sister is getting married in a month
My mom's visa has been denied, but there is still one more possibility, help me keep praying about it, the situation is in the Lord's hands, He knows better if is good or not good for her to come and visit.
6th and last cycle is around the corner (October 6th)
Tests and check ups will be taking place in Dec or Jan since chemo keeps working in your body for few months after the last dose.

Yesterday I was not feeling the best, the feeling of being not worth it was hunting me; a feeling of distress and self pity surrounded me (specially when I try to make plans spending time with my Bethany, but I have no enough strength), but how good it is that God is always watching us, and knows our hearts, even when we don't ask, He already knows our needs. Then all of the sudden I saw a friend at the public store, after greeting her she said a couple of things (without knowing my thoughts) that really lifted me up and made me feel loved by God, and useful, even my condition.

Believing in Him has been a blessing; knowing Him has been the best thing that has happened in my life.

The Bible says that even the demons believe and tremble... but, to know Him is different from just believing...as Beth Moore says, I just don't believe in Him, He is someone I know. I've felt His presence, I've seen his activity, I've experience His deliverance, I've been touch by His healing, I've witnessed answer prayers...yes I believe, but more than that, I know Him.

How did I get to know Him? Opening my heart to Him, asking Him to come into my life and direct my life from that point on, asking Him for forgiveness (that by grace He granted to all that believe and professes His name as the only way, the truth and the light), asking Him to be my friend and be my Father, to live in my heart forever and ever.

Thanks for your prayers =)
