The pencil :)


Today I was trying to write during my early talk with God, and all I found was a pencil. I sharpen it and I wrote some of my trip memories, while I was writing, I remembered a story I heard some day about a pencil, and to reach our potential we have to look like a pencil… If I remember well it was five similitude’s between ourselves and a pencil:

First: We have great potential to do great things, but there is a greater hand that will guide your path, is God’s hand in our lives

Second: We have to stop some time our hard work to get resharpened, if we continue with no stop, even when we could be full inside we won’t be able to draw any more.

Third: The pencil has an eraser… to erase our mistakes and correct the way

Fourth: What is really important is not the wood, the decoration or the shape of the pencil, what is valuable, is the charcoal inside's quality, that’s why you have to take care of your inner self

Fifth: Always leave a mark, a legacy… and remember that all your actions always leave traces…

Truth or dare?

One of the things that is surprising to me today, is the low value that many people assign to their own promises. Teenagers don't believe their parents, because they never fulfill their promises; Couples say "I'll stand by you forever" and few months later they walk on the opposite direction; politicians make promises to earn votes, and once the election is done, they forgot about it. I remember one of the first things I learned from my grandmother it was the value of my word. "A gentleman always fulfill his promises, a man with no word has no honor" and I learned to live by that principle. Few weeks ago, I was having a discussion with one of the leaders on the youth ministry at Flamingo Road Church about some technical difficulties we were experiencing during the broadcasting of our Student Service online, and I challenged him to fix the failures, so if he would complete the task with no errors, I will do my hair like him... (He had a Mohawk haircut with ...

What a way to celebrate a B-day!

I'm celebrating my 48 th Birthday with a new house for my family, it has been a loooooooong process but finally, last Wednesday we sign our first house in US, and we start the process of moving in and adapting the house to our likeness , our colors, ideas and more... It has been fun painting, demolishing some walls, choosing colors, selecting some new furniture, discussing some changes... but the most important thing, is that we are doing all as a family, and is helping us to share leadership, tasks, duties, games, and fun... God has been really good with us. Tomorrow we will celebrate my b-day at home, between dust, paint, tools, love and fun.
