"Rather," If anyone has to boast, let him boast in the Lord. "
For he who recommends himself is not approved, but he whom the Lord recommends. "
(2 Corinthians 10: 17-18 NIV)
A professor from my university, gave me an advice that I have carried in my mind, throughout 15 years of professional career as Industrial Engineer. He told me: "No matter where you are or how much you earn, worry about leaving a positive mark wherever you go." I have come to the conclusion that although one is not good for everything, if it is excellent for something, God has given us each one special talents, took the time indicated to make us admirable, useful and productive people.
I have wanted to be a singer, model, image consultant, fashion designer, lecturer, I dreamed, with lights, cameras, platforms, microphones, musicians and the public around me, ovation and approval. Having the talent, I wanted my dreams to come true, but on many occasions, the nerves overshadowed my confidence and my unwise decisions, made my illusions vanish inevitably.
I started writing in 2009, to fulfill what that teacher had taught me years ago. I write, with the purpose that my life does not pass in vain, that my experiences, help others to understand that they are not alone, and that the fall is victory in Christ.
In order to perfect my technique, I sought guidance from one of my leaders in the church, but contrary to what I expected, I received words of rejection; his derogatory, indifferent and disinterested way, brought to my heart, discouragement, sadness and disappointment. As a result of this confrontation, I decided not to write anymore, I believed what he had made me feel with his attitude, that he had no right to dream, that he could change my world, and that of others with my testimony through my writings.
My longing had always been for God to use me and take into account my resume for his service, I stopped singing, and for 8 months, I did not write a word, but God reminded me that my talents belong to Him, and are used according to his will.
Raising prayers to heaven every day, for an opportunity to work and serve God, I received an invitation to write, and it was for me the answer to those prayers. He told me that he had read my blog, and that he liked my honest and sincere style of writing, he also mentioned something that was engraved in my heart, "people identify more with our defeats than with our victories" and it was in that moment that I understood the purpose of my falls in life, completely changing my point of view, and with the conviction rooted in my soul, to take his word to the last corner of the world, through the most precious gift that he has given me .
No matter how many times you fall, you disappoint or listen to people who affirm that you are not capable of achieving it, it is only your faith in yourself and in the power of God to transform each of your defeats into successful situations, which you will be able to make of your dreams, realities that impact in such a way that you achieve with a simple touch, motivate the change of perspective of those who have stopped insisting, believing and fighting, for fear of being defeated.
BREAKING WALLS AND OVERCOME GIANTS, IT IS POSSIBLE FROM THE POWERFUL HAND OF GOD, DARE TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS REAL!
"But the Lord told me: Do not say:" I am very young ", because you are going to go wherever I send you, and you are going to say everything that I order. Do not fear anyone, that I am with you to free you "
(Jeremiah 1: 7-8 NIV)
