Never Alone

    It's been over a year and three months since I last wrote on here. I miss it. I miss writing to inspire others,  I miss writing to inspire myself. Since the last time I wrote a lot of things have happened to me personally. I started College(Sophomore), I got a Job( started my second Job on Monday) and got a car. 

These things have all been nothing short of amazing but through the process of all this change I've realized how BUSY I am now. With these new responsibilities and obligations comes investing time to all these activities, and still have time to read the Word, and talk to family and friends. I guess you can say I really don't have much time to just relax. What I never realized when I was in High School was how lonely all these things can make you feel. Being an adult is pretty cool, and having your own job/car is also sweet, but I never knew being so busy could make you feel so alone. 

Now I'm being really honest right now. I know a lot of people are scared to get real with others sometimes, but I've learned it's necessary to be real so you can grow and mature as a person. Even if you're not so busy right now but in fact the opposite and have a lot of time in your hands, this can also make us feel lonely and isolated at times. So as you read this if you relate to anything I just wrote I want you to know you are NOT alone, you are NEVER alone.

Though you may go through dry seasons, or difficult moments in your life, there is someone who will never leave you nor forsake you. I want to remind you that there is a God who cares about you and loves you unconditionally. Sometimes you might really feel alone or like no one cares, but take heart God CARES. In reality he is the only one who will be there when no one else is around.  

I pray as you read these words you are reminded of the infinite God who has loved you from the start. Praying that God would comfort you in this season of loneliness. Sometimes we need to feel the pain to appreciate not being in it. Have a great day! May God Bless you always!! 

P.S. I also wanted to share a song that is very near and dear to my heart, I pray you listen to the lyrics and it speaks to you as it does to me. 

Be the Change you Want to See

     I can't believe it's going to be a year since I last wrote a post on here...And I also can't believe how fast time is passing by. I'm about to graduate High School in five days, and i'm  scared but excited because this will mark the beginning of the rest of my life. 
 Recently i've been hearing God speak to me, he's been revealing so much to me and I think it's because something Big is about to happen in my life. (I mean other than Graduation) 

Change. No one likes it, at least I don't. I like new things, but with new things comes the unknown, and thats the part that scares me. But God is faithful, he never gives us anything we can't handle. And though change is hard, sometimes change is the only thing that will help us be who we really want to be. 

I've always heard the saying "Be the change you want to see", but until now I've never realized how much meaning that one phrase has. I see a world that is calling out for Love, I see people that are hurting everywhere I go. And as I read that phrase God stirs in me a desire to take this literal and apply it to my walk with him. If I want to see people's lives changed by God, I first have to let Him change me completely. You see I can't expect people to change if i'm not changing myself. People want something real, they want real stories, real people, real Change. 

So if I really want to make a difference in this world I have to change the way I see people. I need to seek God daily, I need to be connected with God in word and in Spirit. I have to be the Change I want to see. It starts with one person, it started with one person at the Cross. It will end with one person. But it also continues with one person, you and  me. Be the change you want to see.

^" Our faces, then, are not covered. We all show the Lord’s glory, and we are being changed to be like him. This change in us brings ever greater glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit." - 2 Corinthians 3:18

Now I want to encourage you, God is calling you, he is igniting a Passion in you to reach out to people, but first seek His face, seek his word, seek his will for your life. And you will see once you start changing, people will start giving God glory for the change in you. Go out and be the change you want to see, Let His light Shine through you! 

Love Like Fire

     Spending a week away from Miami made me realize my growing hunger for God's presence.  I just came back from my youth group's camp on Saturday, and it was sooo Incredible that I cant even put it into words. Before I left I asked God to speak to me and to use me in any way he chose to. And that is exactly what he did.  

This past week was full of God's spirit, love, grace, and his precious face. I remember thinking God was going to move in my heart, but I didn't realize how much he would move. He awoke my heart and Ignited a burning fire for his Spirit. He renewed my confidence in him and reminded me that I am His and He is mine. 

One of the many things that God showed me at camp : to truly follow God means to fully deny all of me. Meaning I have to give up everything that pleases my flesh, all my hopes, dreams, desires, and fears. I have to deny myself daily, pick up my cross and follow after Him.

'Jesus said to all of them, "If people want to follow me, they must give up the things they want. They must be willing to give up their lives daily to follow me."' Luke 9:23

God wants to use our lives, but we must first surrender all that we are and find ourselves in Him. He wants to use our simple lives to make His love known. So now I want to encourage you, the person reading this, I want to tell you that God has AMAZING plans for your life. Plans that go beyond anything you could hope for. But first you must deny yourself completely, surrender YOUR plans for your life and let his Spirit guide you into the direction he wants you to go. 

I encourage you to keep seeking His face daily. Pray daily for a dose of his Spirit and a hunger for his presence. I pray God may reveal to you his plan for your life, he loves you with a burning fire. May he shine his face upon you and renew your spirit with His love. God Bless you guys! 

"So let us be thankful, because we have a kingdom that cannot be shaken. We should worship God in a way that pleases him with respect and fear, because our God is like a fire that burns things up." Hebrews 12:28

P.S. I leave you guys with a worship song that spoke to my heart & spirit at camp. This song reminds me that God's love is like a burning fire in our hearts. If we let it, His love will consume us and burn for all the World to see. 

God is Faithful

   It's been 4 months since i have written on here, and so much has happened i don't even know where to begin. I guess i will start by giving God all the glory, honor, and praise. 

About a year ago i remember God speaking to me about starting a bible club at my school. I began to have a strong desire to see the teens at my school being touched by God's amazing love. I started to pray and seek God, i asked him to guide and lead me into his perfect will. 

So one day i went to the activities director and asked her if i could possibly start a bible club at school. She said i had to write a letter to the principal asking her for permission.

And so my challenge began i prayed and i wrote her a letter, i even went to go speak to her in person. But for some reason i never got into contact with her. 

I felt i had tried hard enough to speak to the principal, but i was wrong. Even though i tried to talk to her i never went back and tried again. I wasn't persistent. I gave up very quickly. Why? Because i was scared of rejection, i was afraid things wouldn't go right and i didn't TRUST that God would help me and give me strength to go on. 

I continued to pray, silently hoping somehow God would do something about the club. 

My sophomore year ended and i had forgotten about the club, thinking it would never happen. 

Junior year kicked in and i was excited/sad to start my second to last year in high school. I felt i had a limited amount of time to bring God to my school. I had a strong urgency to bring hope to the hopeless. October of 2011 came by and one of my close friends  told me about a bible club meeting and that i should go with her. 

I cannot tell you what i felt at that moment. My heart skipped a beat and i couldn't believe what she told me. I went to the meeting and was immediately moved by God's Faithfulness. 

It's been 3 months since all this and so many things have happened since the first meeting. I now have new Christian friends at school. Friends that i know God has amazing plans for. And now we have a place to gather together in Jesus name to hear about his love for the lost and broken, and to grow as Children of God.To unite as one in his name and make a difference in this world. 

However, I have to give God all the Glory for doing this, because he was Faithful in his promise to me. He promised he would start a bible club at my school, and that i would be a part of it. And he even gave me the privilege to be a part of the office board. Which i have no idea how that happened! But Praise God for being so Faithful and true. I know he's going to do some mighty things in my school, in my family, in this world. Pray God would use this generation to rock this world, because i know he is able to,and i know that he will. 

God is Able to do beyond what we can hope, dream, or imagine. 

I thank you all for reading this!!! I pray God May Bless you and make his face shine upon you!! He loves you so much!!! <3 

P.S. Here is a video about God's Faithfulness. 

Rise from the Ashes

     Don't EVER let your bad circumstances define who you are.
I've learned that living a tough life doesn't have to be a bad thing.
It's sort of like the saying " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", you can rise from the ground. Even though you've been struck down, you have the strength in God to get back up.

I have been blessed to have a family that has showed me love. However, not everyone is lucky  to have that love in their lives. There are people who have been abandoned by their parents, spouses that have abused each other, physically and emotionally. And there are people who have felt like they are worthless because of the things that have happened to them.
People that feel they have lost all hope.


One thing i want those people to know is that even though they have been through some struggles in their lives, that doesn't define the person that they will one day become.
And that there is HOPE.
There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

" We’ve been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we’re not demoralized; we’re not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we’ve been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn’t left our side; we’ve been thrown down, but we haven’t broken." 2 Corinthians 4:8-9

I want the person that is reading this to know they are NEVER ALONE. And that there is always hope for their bad circumstances. Don't ever let the struggles you go through win, you are a strong, courages person who can overcome anything with God by their side. So don't be discouraged and KNOW that God has everything under HIS control. Even the trial you are facing in this very moment. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Philippians 4: 13

I pray God may comfort you with his all-consuming Love and Joy. And i pray you may lean on him when you feel like you just can't take it anymore. He is always there with arms wide open. May he bless you and watch over you always&forever <3 I Love you ALL!!!

Truly Satisfied

 Have you every asked yourself if your truly satisfied?
Satisfied with what,you ask?
Satisfied in general.
We keep trying to fill a void in our hearts with things that we think will satisfy us. We do drugs, we drink, we party, we get boyfriends. Thinking that maybe that's what's missing.

There comes a time in our lives when we realize that were not truly happy.
Were just living without acually living.

I started asking myself this recently actually, i've been thinking whether or not i'm truly happy with where i am right now. I asked and asked, and finally got my answer. Even though i was smiling and happy, that didn't mean i was truly happy and fulfilled. I was still missing the point of my life. I kept trying to fill God's place in my heart with other things. I kept saying i was happy because i had God, but it wasn't that i wasn't happy it was that i was missing why i was suppose to be happy. But i had so many reasons to be happy.

I was brought out of a hole. My whole 16 years of existence lead to this one moment in my life where i finally asked what i was truly living for, myself , or God. I had a purpose, i had a love that was irreplacable. I had true endless joy and peace in my life. Peace that surpasses all understanding. I am truly Satisfied right now. And even though i don't know what's ahead i know that i'm Never Alone. Your Never Alone. You are LOVED, Cherised, appreciated.


"I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11

Are you Truly Satisfied? Are You Content with your Life?

Now if your reading this right now it probably means i send it to you to read, or it could also mean that this moment right now, as your reading these words across the computer screen were meant to be. I pray this blog may make you think......Ponder...... about your life. Ask yourslef what your living for? we all need to know at some point in our lives, sometimes we need to know before it's too late. God Bless You always & forever, may he shower you with his all- consuming love. I Love you!! (:


Here is a Video, a song that i thought fit with the blog, Enjoy (:

God Looks at the Heart

       So it's been a while since i've written one of these.

Everytime i write a blog i want it to be from God, i want everytime i write to let it be God that guides me. A lot has happened since i last wrote first and foremost i've grown so much in my relationship with God,that is my only desire, that i may grow daily in him.

He's also spoken to my heart so much, he's been showing me about himself, about his love for me.

I've always delt with self-esteem in my life, really what girl doesn't? But it never accured to me that i really didn't feel myself worthy enough for Love. When God started telling me how much he loved me, I think i was shocked that he would choose me to LOVE.

He's been showing me how truly worthy I am of his Love , with books like "Redefining Beautiful", " A Young Woman after God's Own Heart", even songs like "What's Beautiful". All of these have been tools that God has used to speak to me. And i'm so thankful for that because even if i still deal with self-esteem and image and outer beauty, he's helping me through it all.

I know there are a lot of girls if not the majority of girls now a days that deal with image. And it's hard for them to accept the fact that they're Beautiful because the world told them their not beautiful. 

God has been placing a passion for girls who struggle with this because how you think about yourself when you look in the mirrior reflects on how you'll look at others. If you can't love yourself how can you possibly love anyone else?

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."
1 Peter 3:3-4


Now dear friend if you are one these many girls and you are reading this right now, I want you know how truly Beautiful you are. You are worthy of Love, don't EVER let others tell you your worth, find it in God. Because he loved us so much that he died for us. Period.You are worth more than pure Gold! embrace the truth about yourself and accept that you are BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to now share a video that speaks so clearly on what i just wrote about. God Bless you Always&Forever
Sincerely, Cristal
