4th fo July Weekend

Well, today I'm in a country that doesn't celebrate the 4th of July but I'm still an American and along with my family I'm gonna celebrate our INDEPENDANCE!!!

I'm so proud to be an American and to be able to celebrate it, although I'm no another place. That small fact doesn't take away my freedom (the freedom that comes from being a US Citizen). I love my country, I love my people and I would NEVER change it.
Now lests get to the point here... Why do we have freedom?

I know many of us say, we have freedom because of those who fought for it. I agree with you, although I believe it goes much deeper than that. I think we continue to have freedom because of those who fight for it, and I am dang proud of those who did, and do and who will. But i know from all those history books I read while in school that our founding fathers did something that distinguishes our country from others. They created our foundations, our costitution and all our structure as a country on the Biblical principals of Theocracy.
Now, we have had our strays away from the Biblical principals yet our country, thanks to those who still hold on to those principals, has survived. We(those who still believe) recognize God as our God, honor our founding fathers, our costitution and our heritage. And I honestly believe that because of those we are a succesfull,  strong, influencial, mighty country, because our God is Strong, Mighty, Merciful and Loving.

So now all I gotta say is: GOD BLESS YOUR AMERICA!!!! And thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of it. - WHAT AN HONOR!!!

It's My Birthday

Ok well today is my birthday and I guess since I haven't blogged in a while I better do it today!!! Well I have many things to be thankful for - first off my Jesus and the ever-growing relationship we have, my family: Julio, Daddy, Mommy Nathan and Jonathan, you have always and always will be a VERY important part of my life. My friends and coworkers in the ministry - you help mold my charactar day by day.
I only wish to express myself in one other way and it is with these words, 'cause without YOU I would deffinitly not be here. I love you FATHER & may I never forget the reason that I live!!!

Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours, I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
Cause I am yours..
I am yours..
