Respect your child’s emotions!

Hi dears, is everything okay? Let’s think if we have been aware of these emotions and valued them. How is your child’s emotional health? Let’s begin thinking about three reasons why parents must be concern about raising an emotionally healthy child:

1.     Our emotions determine the quality and meaning of our life.

2.     Our emotions influence each part of our life.

3.     Our emotions help us to define our values.

Therefore, we can confirm that success or failure in life depend on our emotional condition. Children are not different; they don’t know yet how to separate intelligence from emotion.

Parents must remember that feelings are related to the value we give to things or people. Whatever thing that for parents doesn’t mean much, for a child it might have a special value. For instance, a conversation, a friend, a pet, a bike, a toy, a trip that didn’t go right, etc. all of these can have a lot of value for a child. Parents who play their roles with this conscience never overlook a child’s tears. I saw boys and girls mourning inconsolably because of a dog that was hit by a car; others because they lost a ball and others because of a kite taken away by the wind. How do parents should react before the tears of a child, who cries because of something that for an adult is considered to be “banal”?

Never force your children to restrain their emotions, swallowing their tears and rejecting their feelings. Disqualifying the emotions of a child can produce a trauma, making them close up and never show their feelings again. That is one of the reasons why many adults have difficulties expressing their emotions. Do you respect your child’s emotions?

I saw people who can notice every feeling and expression in other people’s children, but they cannot see anything in their children. Be aware of your reactions; children are all different. What doesn’t make any difference to one, can make all the difference to the other! Be sensible to understand in every second his/her needs and let the child be whoever he/she is. Do not restrain your child. Sooner or later you might regret it because they will show undesirable behaviors that you will not be pleased with.

We must not mock children, to the point of making them think that whatever they say doesn’t have any value. When you behave this way you are contributing to raise an insecure and closed up adult. Many people think that a good behavior is of a quiet and noiseless child, when in general this kind of behaviour comes from an oppressed and depressed children. Of course not all of them, but you must analyse yourself, and see what kind of mother you have been to the point of not letting your child be whoever he/she wants to be.

This is also useful for those who are not mothers but work with children, because we should know how to deal with all of them; valuing them, loving them, making them feel the most special ones in this world.

Mother, have you known how to advise?

Hello darlings, how are you? Since we are in the fasting of Daniel let's take advantage to invest in our communion with Him. And take more time to read the blogs add to our lives. Many mothers have fallen in this mistake, for they advise their children according to their interests, their vision, and many times, according to their bad examples.

Mother, you are, and will only be a reference for your son when your life speaks louder than your words. Many mothers speak of sacrifice, while your children do not see their mother’s sacrifice in anything, others talk about values while their conduct is the opposite, and others speak about surrender meanwhile they do not separate any time for their children. Weeks pass by without even a phone call, nor do they invite their children out; they do not show any interest. Do you think your children do not notice? I am married for years and my mom calls me almost every day just to ask, “Is everything okay my daughter?” And I love this care from her.

If there is something that leaves me upset, and it’s me personally, is that person who gives advice, but in her life does nothing; or that person who says to do something but in her own life, does nothing. This person, to me, loses credibility, because she does not live according to the standards that she preaches. This is why her word is not considered by anyone.

For example, you see that your son is on the wrong path, or he/she is with someone that is sharp that will not realize him. Someone who is someone without principles, without values, without ethics, without morals, etc... You as a mother, you perceive all of this, but instead of alerting your son as it is most convenient, you prefer to leave things the way they are. Of course we cannot prohibit it, but you can never forget of the great influence you have and the faith you say to practice. 

I have seen many mothers who do not want to pay the price of gaining the soul of their son, and their vision is completely fleshy. They limit themselves to what they see and prefer to ignore the situation instead of fighting; and never forget that only prayer will not bring the surprising results that you expect.  How long do you pray? Since always isn't it? It is necessary to have dialogue, advice, sit and make your child see that what he is not able to.

Perhaps your problem is that you do not know how to seek in God this help; and because you find yourself an excellent mother, and that you don't need to improve in anything nor learn nothing... you limit yourself is what you’ve learned and grab on to this, and the results are very little or none. Sometimes you want to delegate the responsibilities to third parties when it is only yours. 

And if your son is living a completely wrong life, you have to fight with all of your strength so the situation can be inverted. Never forget to support your son, is not to cooperate with his mistake but rather, with love you show him the danger of such wrong decisions and its consequences. 

But for this, never forget that your word has to have value. If you lost this credibility seek to pass the values that you say believe and live. Never let your child be taken care by anyone else but you. After all you are his mother. And if he is already an adult, he doesn’t stop being your child; take care of him, and advise him the same way. And that your greatest gift be to see his soul saved!

 I'm going to leave a challenge for you mother! The ones who has to say if we’re good mothers are our children, isn’t it? They have the right to evaluate us. Ask them this week: “Son, what kind of mother have I been? Where can I better myself?” Maybe the response will surprised you, be humble and do not think that you know everything. Many times our children are the ones who teach us. 

 Perhaps you think of yourself as an excellent mother, but your son does not see this excellence in anything. Perhaps if you were more spiritual and wise you would have freed your son from many situations that he’s living today; but there is time to correct yourself, or are you going to continue falling in the same mistake? 

I am not judging any of you. I am also included in this, and I want to learn every day how to better myself as a mother and be humble to know how to handle my son. My greatest gift is to gain him to God; and that he sees in me what I live and not what I speak. We will never be perfect but we can become better every day. And I if we do it, there is no way we won't see the results. Learn to advise your son in the faith and not in emotion! 

Afterwards, leave your comments. Let's share with each other what our children said in regards to our question. It doesn't matter what it is, it does matter that we are going to work to change this situation. Perhaps the answer won’t be what you’re waiting for, but it will be an opportunity to restore your relationship, and conquer the lost trust.

Mothers who can be imitated!

Hello dear, how are you?

Today we’ll speak of a remarkable woman that serves as an example to be followed by all of us. More than anyone else, mothers live with their children. They carry them in their womb, heart and arms. No one dreams as much of the future of the children than mothers. No one stands up for the children as much as the mother. No one prays for the children as much as their mothers.

Today we see the example of Hannah, a woman who did not give up being a mother. She wished it with a purpose, and not for her own glory. Hannah has a legitimate dream, but is being postponed. She wants to be a mother, but is unable to. She is loved by her husband, but longs for a son. She asks God but the response delays. She had every reason to give up, but did not! And so she saw her dream being fulfilled. Hannah clings to her dream while everyone else tries to stop her from expecting a miracle. Her rival, Peninnah, irritated her, making her cry. Her pastor, the priest Eli, as she prayed in the temple, called her drunk because he didn’t have the discernment that she was pouring out her soul before God.

There will always be those who look at the circumstances instead of looking at faith; and these are usually those who never get to see the promises of God in their life. No one likes to wait, but while we wait we reveal how much we trust in His promises for our lives. Whoever is not prepared to wait, is not prepared to enjoy. Her husband, Elkanah, urged her to give up on her dream of being a mother, saying that he was better for her than ten children. But Hannah did not give up and kept insisting with God until the miracle happened in her life. Is it not how things happen in these days? How many times our own family convinces us to give up on our dreams? Hannah was a victim of the hostility of Peninnah, the deceit of Eli, and good reasoning of Elkanah. But she does not give up hope in God.

Hannah is sterile, but prays for the child before it is born. This is called to live by faith. Hannah prayed for Samuel before she conceived him. She said: “For this boy I pray.” Before Samuel was generated in her womb, he was generated in her heart. Before crying for the pain of childbirth, she wept before God for the child. You mother, have you done this? Instead of crying over your child's situation, have you poured yourself out at the feet of God? Hannah is sterile, but prays; she is sterile, but expect a miracle; she is sterile, but believes in the Word and it healed physically and emotionally.

Today we have modern mothers, talented mothers, intellectual mothers, busy moms, but few are the mothers of prayer. When you understand that prayer has much more power than anything else, then you’ll start to reap its rewards; and to know the power that is has. Hannah did not present her son as a trophy for her personal vanity. She knew that Samuel came from God, was of God and should be consecrated to God. She promised him to God and returned him to God. Samuel was not only a great son, but a great man, the greatest of his generation. He was the greatest prophet, the greatest priest and the greatest judge of his generation. We need mothers who dare to consecrate their children to God. We need mothers who give up their children to realize major projects of God. Perhaps the dream you have for your child is selfish and carnal, and so you don’t have the courage to give him in God's hands; simply because you do not want to see God's dreams realized, but yours.

Hannah returned Samuel to the Lord at a time when she could use justified excuses: Eli is too old. The two sons of Eli were sons of Belial. This mother, however, was perseverant in the pursuit of her dream, and faithful to give it in. God is sovereign in the realization of His will to our children. We need mothers who insist with God in prayer, but rest in God's providence in relation to their children. Hannah understood that it is God who gives life and takes life away. Do not give up hoping of God’s great and new things in your life, and the life of your children. He can make a sterile woman joyful and mother of children. He can convert valleys into fountains, tears in songs of joy, loneliness in feast; defeat in big victories.

Dream the dreams of God for the life of your children. I am a mother, and just like Hannah, I waited fourteen years for the promise to be fulfilled in my life; and I pray every day so that the dreams of God for the life of my son be realized one by one, and that He gives me vision to include myself in these projects and not disturb them.

The long-awaited day has arrived!

Hello my dear ones, how are you?

Today I will share with all of you a very special day in my life. You who have been following my posts from the beginning will understand; you who started reading recently, I invite you to read from the beginning in order to understand today’s post in full. All of you who follow the posts know what I’ve been through and fought for the life of my sister who for me has always been a daughter. Were years of struggle, a lot of tears, knees on the floor and many vows on the altar for her soul; and I can say that everything we do with God brings results. At the time it seemed an endless struggle, in the attempt to bring her to God, I didn’t always acted the best way, but of course the intention was always good.

Not always when we act in good faith it means that we are doing it correctly. Yeah! Then I found out that she had to go through her own deserts and make her own choice. It all depended on her! But as mothers we often do everything to protect our children and prevent them from reaping what they have sown, and we don’t let them mature and develop. When I started to let her reap the consequences of all that was wrong, she began to perceive the deep well she was sinking. I just gave it to God, and on the altar of the living God I made a vow and claimed her soul. My sacrifice cried out for me.

It was when I “left” her, she began to have this desire, this thirst and wanted to drink the same water I drank and she knew she would have to go to the source. I could not quench her thirst or drink for her. The time came and it hit her! She began to want this God with all her heart and understanding. The desire to serve this so wonderful and great God was born; and thanks to Him the day arrived as she was consecrated as a collaborator to this precious work that He gives us the privilege and honor to do.

I can tell you that it thrilled me because every tear that dropped on my face, was every step she took to the altar. A movie of every time she took those steps but manifested with demons passed on my mind; those minutes that seemed hours, when she had run away from home without saying anything, etc. ... so much! My soul was so happy and so grateful to God because her soul now belongs to him and He can use her in an extraordinary way. My father who has not yet converted, is the only one missing in the family, attended the entire service, and as the sacrifice for her brought results I am sure it will be done with it too.

Never but never give up on your family! A woman who prays and uses her faith on the Altar is more powerful than all hell together. Never give up on your dreams even if everyone says that it's useless, that you will not conquer it, it’s not worth it, etc. Who puts obstacles is hell, because for everything our God has a solution. MOTHER! Your child is not a hopeless case is a matter of time. This day will come to your life as well. I believe! And then you will share it with me and I insist that you send me pictures.

This time I will give you a task: let’s everyone share this post in order to reach all mothers, and leave your comment. Let’s go to hell to seek the soul of our children. Last Sunday was Mother's Day here in Portugal. I take this opportunity to send a very sweet kiss to all of you who always follow the posts. You are precious to God. A mother can never underestimate the power of prayer and that is daily. It will change the course of your child forever! I pray that your greatest goal for the life of your child is to take him to what is eternal.

Mom, have you been investing in the relationship with your son?

Hi dear, how are you? I hope you’re all doing well!

Together we are learning to be better mothers and daughters. These posts are not only for mothers but also for daughters; and also for spiritual mothers. Because even before you become a mother, you are a daughter, aren’t you? We cannot expect perfection in relationships, but we should give ourselves and put ourselves in the other person’s place every day. Well, when we speak of relationships, you might not stop to think but answer quickly: I have a good relationship with my children. Do you really? I have perceived many mothers only know how to deal with their children when they’re little because they can handle them. However once they grow up this relationship doesn’t remain the same. Why? Because you developed this relationship towards a puppet and not a disciple; often not knowing how to make use of the power of influence.

Dictionaries define relationship as “fellowship, get involved with someone to the point of sharing experiences, and learn from the other.” So relationship means the emotional connection or friendship between people who come together with the same goals and interests. Every kind of relationship involves living, communication and attitudes that must be reciprocal. A good relationship develops when there is trust, empathy, respect and harmony between the people involved. That’s why you mother and child should practice these values ​​in order that your relationship is healthy.

So when one of the parties does not develop the attributes needed for a good relationship, the relationship becomes difficult. The way a person relates to others, in personal life, is part of the interpersonal relationship. The interpersonal relationship is the relationship developed between two or more people and how the communication between them is establish.

In the spiritual life is not different, the relationship exists to bring the mothers to her children, until it becomes an intimate relationship. Relationship is the way which all true Christians must walk. This is a principle that we should take very seriously, because without relationship we will never know our children, or our disciples.

The apostle Paul said: “Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.” (I Corinthians 11: 1). Ephesians 5: 1 says: “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children.” Paul's life and testimony were an example to all and it could be imitated by Christians because he was an imitator of Christ.

Like Paul we must have a life of transparency, and be an example. Thus, the disciples will not have any fear to have a trustable relationship. Remember that words can convince, but testimony draws crowds of people. If we don’t have relationship, communion, intimacy, we will not succeed either as biological mothers or as spiritual mothers.

Leave your comment, be participative here on the blog, and develop genuine relationships. Sweet kisses; until next week!

I am a mother this way and period!

Hi honeys, how are you? Be participative here in the Blog and feel free to leave suggestions for topics you would like discussed or even doubts.

This week I want to share with you something that I have noticed a lot. A person, usually does what she has learned to do and she is what she learned to be. But it does not mean that you have to be that way. If we are not flexible we will not be sensitive to changes; and they are accurate so that we can develop and change. Remember the previous post I talked about being a friend mother? What is it to be a friend?

·      It is someone that understands

·      Respects the child's pain

·      She is solidarity, listens, has patience, trusts and encourages

·      Sits down with the child and talks in an intelligent way

·      Explains to the child about the dangers

·      She doesn’t impose, she guides

·      She tells the truth

Anyway is a vast list... However, many times mothers didn’t receive all of these, then they don’t know, nor strive to give. So they do exactly what others did and what they were to them. But this situation can be reversed if you are humble to recognize and change your way of being and doing things. We are the ones to choose and decide who we want to be. For I speak to some people who say: “well that's what I received, so that's what I’ve to give. Since I have not received, I will not give!” I will give you a very clear example in regards to this. My paternal grandfather was extremely strict with my father. He was selfish and even a little bad. Maybe it was what he received from his father, and so he decided to be with his child, who is my father. My grandfather was a very cold person, distant, he was a nurse so I can imagine how he was with his patients. On the other hand, my grandmother who was also a nurse died when my father was still a child. He was only 10 years old; a very difficult age to be without a mother. Even more, he had such a father! I can imagine his pain, the trauma of losing, and having to turn around in life.

He had every reason in the world to be the same with me and my sister Tania, but he chose to be different, and he was entirely different from his father. He was and still is a great friend and father, protector, always willing to help, and always gave us the best. He is the living example that we have the power of decision of our choices. It’s up to us to be who we strive to be. It is much easier to say that no one does it or it doesn’t happen, because nobody did to us, and were not there for us, than to neutralize such thoughts and feelings; then do and be totally different. It is also an opportunity, since we did not receive, we want to give all of us!

Think if you’ve been doing only your duty, or you’ve been going beyond! If it helped you or you identified yourself with it, leave here your comments; because we learn from each other. Sweets kisses.

A mother on her knees is more powerful than a standing army!

Hello dear, how are you? Let's put into practice what we learned so that we can see the results of our faith in action. Every child needs a mother who prays, but many have underestimated the power of prayer. However the Word of God has left us several examples that mothers can be of great blessings of their children. The power of prayer is so great that when mothers pray, impact the lives of their children.

Many mothers give up easily because they do not see immediate results in the time they wish, and give up on their children. But in an unconscious way it’s as if saying “devil I gave up on him, you can fulfill your plans in his life”. When you give up or when you do not put all your effort, it's as if you were confessing it, and of course the devil thanks you, after all it was all he wanted: to put negative thoughts and feelings so you forego them.

I know sometimes you get tired, sometimes the despair comes because everything is the opposite, but it is in these moments that you have to go on your knees and use your faith. Declare that the life of your son was bought at a high price and you do not give up this right. Pray not for a time, two times, three times, but in a persistent way to see the miracle in their lives. Do not give up on praying. I can tell you that you don’t know the power that exists in prayer, because if you knew you would never cease to pray and do vows for the lives of your children.

Never stop fighting, because when you see the results of your faith, you will see that everything was worth it. What was once the source of shame, tomorrow will be a motive of double honor. And do not forget that as much difficult it is, the greater will be the glory of God manifested in their lives.

Have vision. See the spiritual side, and never forget that even if all pray for the life of your children, there is no more powerful prayer than yours, for it is full of strength, a genuine strength, because our children are a piece of us. No one has more power to bless them than ourselves. Although you do not see, only prophesize positive words. Only use words that bless, and this practice of faith will bring amazing results. I believe! Do you?

Leave here your comments, I read every one them and I am praying for all of you!

Mother encourages, does not impose!

Hello dear friends, is everything alright? I read a comment that drew my attention a lot. A reader mentioned that she did not read the posts because the title did not say anything to her, since she is not a mother. But she was blessed because of what she read! Theses posts are not only for mothers but for children too, and it is also useful for those who do the work of God; after all don’t we have spiritual children?

I, myself, learn with each post I write. When I write, I meditate where I can improve as daughter, as a mother and as a servant. Today, I am going to talk about it, because I went through it with my little sister who it is like a daughter to me. Every time I wanted to impose my ideas, even my expectations related of what I wanted for her, I ended up frustrated. It is not because my motivations were wrong, but on the contrary I just wanted the best for her, but I would impose in a wrong way. Every time we force our children to be what we wish them to be, or to do only what we wish them to do; we are refraining them to develop emotionally and consequently they would not get their own personality. I have seen many mothers to impose to their children what they do not want to, only because they do not want to be judged by others. In the end, you are going to bring up your children for God, for yourself, or for others?

This lifestyle suffocates, you do not become free and neither do your children. Each child has his/her own individuality. Stop comparing your children with your friend`s children. They are unique and we should work on them by motivating them and not comparing them; that’s a huge mistake. We should teach, motivate but not obligate or impose. They are going to discover by themselves the results of not making good decisions. If you impose, you will never let him/her realize what he lost for not having done what you advise him to do, but did not impose! For example, you obligate your child to pray, to read the Bible, and go to church but he goes to church because you obligated him, but this desire is not inside of him; so he goes by imposition. Is it going to bring any results? It is better for you to motivate him so he can find out how good it is to go to church rather than make him go without understand why he is being obligated to go. This happens a lot in the teenage years. It is not worthy to be in arguments with your child. Do not forget that it is a matter of time for him to make his own decisions. So let’s motivate, encourage and have a balance. There are mothers who think that because they are in the church, their children already had their experience with God; and some even demand as if their children were baptized with the Holy Spirit already.

Maybe you are the kind of mother who always has availably to take care of the children of other mothers and pray for them. But, are you having the same care for your child? These are mothers who are always available for the church but they never take a good time to do what their children like. Do not forget that they look at more your actions more than what you say or preach. I am going to give you my own example. My son is only five years-old and it is obvious that I teach him the things of God. In the last Fast, I explained to him the meaning of it, and do you know what he answered me? “Mom, I am going to do it but I will not stop watching cartoons. I’ll do like this: I am going to stop watching what I like the most!” I didn’t said to him: “You’ll do it this way. You’re forbidden to watch cartoons.” No! I only said “it is ok my son, it is something between you and God. If you’re going to sacrifice only what you like, Jesus is going to honour you too.” I gave him freedom to choose; after all we cannot impose God to anyone, we can only pass Him on. And you know what happened? At night my husband and I always played TV musical programs, and preaching according to his age. During the 21 days he was listening to them and he even recorded himself singing full songs. But it was because we gave him the freedom to choose, maybe if we had imposed it, he wouldn’t have watched it. We motivated him, we didn’t impose it… Everything that is imposed does not bear fruits!

I am going to give a clear example! Did you force or obligated your husband to like you? No! It was something that was born naturally, wasn’t it? The same way our children have to be led to love God in a natural way that is not being imposed. Be the connection that your child needs to get closer to God. And never forget that the prayer is the most powerful tool we have by our side!

Mothers never forget one thing, independently if you have responsibilities or even a position in the church. You have a ministry. Do you what is it? It’s being a mother. God put it in our hands and we have to develop it, to be humble, to learn, and overall fearful to always seek God’s direction to be and to do what we know best! We will never be perfect mothers! But we can be better mothers each day! If it helped you, write here your comments! Be participative!

Sweet kisses!

Put your son in his place

            Hi darlings, I’m so glad you are decided to do all things different this year; starting by being different. Counseling some mothers, sharing experiences, I’ve been analyzing how mothers have problems correcting their children. One of the causes of having a pacific child is that he belies that he has the right to demand everything from his mom and that he deserves a special treatment. Normally these children, youths, or even adults, adults only in age because by their attitudes they’re still children that don’t want to take on responsibilities, simply because they think that they have to have different rights from the others. The child that behaves this way thinks that he was only born to be served. He wants his necessities to always be satisfied, after all he was born to be served, but never has a word of gratitude and never remembers about his mother; only when he’s needy. When we allow this, we are creating a human being totally unready for the real life that has nothing to do with easy things.

To love is not to always say yes! To love is not to control everything that your son does! Love is not a feeling but an attitude. If you as a mother don’t do it, who will? So learn that you have to love your own son, but it does not mean to love what he does. If anything that he does is reprehensible or lack of character, do not collaborate. Do not be tolerant. Be firm! Even if he makes ugly faces, he’ll thank you later on. The solution of God to presumption is: “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 3:23

            There are legitimate needs, and those need to be supplied. But there are other necessities that are abusive, which the mother doesn’t have any obligation to supply them. If your son is an adult, put him is his place. If your son is indifferent because of presumption, you’ll have to help him. And do you know how? Frustrating his ideas of grandiosity, and that he can cause any damage to the family without suffering the consequences. If you want to educate your son so that he has values, you’ve to stop satisfying all his necessities and all his demanding. Only compliment your son for his mature character, for being a man and taking on his responsibilities when he behaves in an active, responsible and honest way. If this helped you and you noticed that you were acting wrong, change your way even today.

            And you who are a son or daughter who only looks for your mother to bring her problems, and you think that she has the obligation to accept and solve them, know that if you made bad choices you’ll have to rip its fruits. And if you say, “but I didn’t have anyone to show me this values or to be my referential;” Well, if now you are an adult you’re free of your choices. Do different so you can choose different. Maybe your mother didn’t have what you have today.

            So take advantage, be grateful and humble; love you mother with all the strength of your soul. And do not be interested, selfish, smug, and ungrateful. You who have a child and also noticed that your attitude was reprehensible, leave your comments bellow!!! Let’s be different mothers and daughters and doing so we will be contributing for the future generation with values and morals. Sweet kisses.

Decide today

Hi darlings, how are you?

For this year to be different, we have to be and do things different. If we don’t, we will get at the end of the year and nothing different will happen. For that to happen let’s make a year with targets, and discipline ourselves so that for sure at the end of 2016 we will have a lot of achievements to share. Whoever is with me in this purpose leave your comments bellow, and together let’s make it the best one of our lives. 

Listening to the problems of some mothers and advising them I’ve seen how the devil has been working and investing in their relationships; because he knows that such investment weaken their spiritual life.

Mother, never forget that “decision” is the first step and the beginning of everything in life. It is such a small word, and many times ignored by us, but it makes all the difference when we learn to give it the real value. Many are drowned by feelings and so they lose the power of decision, and become slaves of these feeling that don’t let them make intelligent decisions, but decisions that are based in the flesh. We have to seek this balance and be fair; this is only possible if there is a communion with God.

Do not be led by what you see or what you feel. If there’s a decision to be made, do it right away! Do not postpone it because such behavior may lead to chaos; the same way that postponing seeing a doctor after finding out of a bad symptom may bring serious consequences to our health. To postpone decisions in any are of our life, will naturally have very adverse effects to our life. It won’t get better; even worse, our future will get complicated. 

Indecision is nothing more than a thief of dreams because it steals opportunities. Do not be led by the wear out provoked by the anxiety the problem is bringing. If you do it, you won’t be able to focus in what is important. And it can even put at risk your spirituality. You would then be postponing the decision that could be the most important for your future and the future of your children.

Every time that we make decisions based on emotions or feelings we can be sure that what comes after is not good. However, every time we use our intelligent faith (that goes against our nature), we can be sure that what will come is victory. You have the power to decide. So what do you decide today?
