A peaceful experience...

Well... this is the first time I have a blog... I am going to write in English so more people can understand... so forgive my mistakes ... since I am sure there will be many hehe...

And I am starting this blog because I saw pastor Josh has one... (copycat!) but that made me realize I could do something like this... Since I have so much time on my own... and I am always thinking I need more contact with human beings (since most of the time I spent is with my cat... "George") I am sometimes afraid I will start speaking his language...

So, I am hoping I can share my thoughts with you... whoever you are...

Why "A peaceful experience"? Well... everything started with... "cleaning" ... my husband and I have been trying to start a cleaning business and we thought our slogan would be ... "A peaceful experience"... because that's what we feel we can offer... Many people can clean... but not many people will offer zero turnover since we would be the owners and employees too.... zero stealing, things misplaced and things like that...

You know??? And I was thinking... that is what we have when we are with God... A peaceful experience.... You know? many things in the world offer joy (at least temporary)... excitement, etc... but... none of them can offer... "A peaceful experience" ... you can have sex out of marriage... what a great deal! no commitments... no responsibilities... just excitement... but.... peace??? None! ... instead you would have guilt, regrets, wounds.... You can also have "joy" without God... you can either use drugs, hang around with friends!, alcohol... parties... but... what's left??? Peace??? No! what about the time you spend on your own??? What happens when you are alone in your room at night? Is there any peace???

In the world there is always a "search" for happiness.... and peace.... But the problem is that when you get joy or excitement from the wrong source... sooner or later you will pay the consequences.... when... with GOD ... everything is a peaceful experience! it doesn't matter if there are (which there will always be)... problems, tribulation, affliction.... there is always a peace beyond any understanding...

Like me... I can't say that I don't feel sad at all for having left my family in Mexico to get married... and come to live here in Milwaukee... Sometimes I feel the pain is more than I can take.... But.... it's amazing... there is PEACE... that peace that only knowing you are doing God's will can give... and then.... when I know I put everything in His hands..... there is a conviction that He can handle things better than I can.... and that He can take care of my family and my heart....

I am really so blessed... Do you feel like there is no peace in your life??? Maybe you are being fed from the wrong source... sometimes we even confuse "church" with "God" .... we get involved in all types of activities in Church (which is great) but we forget about our personal, intimate time with our Lord.. (which is terrible) and we wonder why there is lack of peace in our lives....... because... we went to the wrong source.....

well... I was just thinking... and writing.... sharing this with you... knowing I go to the wrong source many times too....

I just want to encourage everyone.... including me... to never forget to go to the ONE and ONLY who can really offer... A peaceful experience....

Love!
