Buscando a Dios

Buscando a Dios, me resbalo en el camino. No he escrito nada en dias, pero buscando a Dios, encuentro palabras, me pone un anillo en el dedo, la escritora en mi esta viva, escribo por su gloria. Buscando a Dios, he buscado a mi ex-novio, abandonada por el, busco a Dios quien yo abandono, y El me hace ver que El es el unico que nunca me abandonará.

Buscando amor, el amor de un hombre, me doy cuento que es a Dios a quien busco de verdad, lo encuentro en la Iglesia, en la Misa en la Eucaristia mas dulce, encuentro a mi hermano Jesus. Encuentro a mi Salvador, mi Todo. Busco a Dios, y voy a dar una vuelta en mi bicicleta. Siento el viento que el Creador ha hecho en ese momento especialmente para mi. Buscando a Dios, me resbalo en el camino. Me desvio. El me levanta, quita la mugre de mi cara, y de nuevo tengo su gracia. La nina de Sus ojos, me levanto en la confesion. El Padre me absuelve de mis pecados. Encuentro mi fe, ya no me resbalo.

Encuentro su cara en el pie de la cruz, todos mis pensamientos dejados a un lado, solo pienso en El ahorita, y como puedo agradarle. Buscando a Dios, encuentro consuelo en mi Madre.

Yo busco a mi Dios todos los dias. Hay dias frios hay dias grices algunos son mejores con cielos perfectos hechos por El para nosotros. En dias como estos busco a Dios, como buscar la agua mas fresca.

Tengo sed. Tengo sed. Tengo sed. Del amor mas verdadero de todos. Dios.
Tengo sed. Pero El tieno mas sed de nuestras almas. Entonces le digo yo a mi alma, vamos, apuremonos vamos a la casa de nuestro Padre, y en el camino recemos por amigos y almas y seres queridos y estraños tambien que ninguno de nosotros se pierda que estemos bien y lejos del infierno que algunos no creen en, pero se que existe.

Buscando a Dios, siempre me resbalo, pero haci debe ser, para que mi cara se vaya de la oscuridad a la luz, es Dios quien nos mira a todos, y dirije mis pasos, hasta estos dedos en el teclado El sabia de ellos desde siempre.

Buscando a Dios, buscandolo todo el dia, hasta la noche busca.

Hidden in plain view

The best things in life are unseen, invisible,
yet hidden
in plain view.

You don't see love
but you feel it
you don't see the wind
but it's real

We can't see God
but you can feel Him
in everyone
everything he created:
the rose
to which St. Francis of Sales
said, "Stop shouting!"
the universe with its mystery
the baby in the mother's womb

who if not a personal and real God
could have created so much perfection & beauty?

Just look at Jesus' life
from His miraculous birth
by the Virgin Mary
& the Holy Spirit.

Don't let yourself be blinded by this physical world
you are not just your bones, your body
listen close to feel the Spirit that God breathed into you

Ask God to become more real to you
He'll never leave this prayer unanswered

Everything is a miracle in us
your heart, your brain

Faith is invisible
ask God to strengthen your little faith
even a mustard seed grows

If God gave us His "Commandments"
it's because He knows better.
Wouldn't you make rules for your children too
knowing they are too little & don't know any better?
It's not God's fault one of his angels rebelled to the point where
he'd lead us all astray.

Remember Love
remember Jesus
is not just a name in history

Amor por Amor





Mi amor por ti
es querer encontrarte
estar Contigo
y por siempre amarte

Mi amor por Ti
es apasionado
porque hací es
Tú amor por mi

Mi amor por Ti
esta creciendo
es el buscarte
en el reír
los pajarillos
en los niños en el parque

Mi amor por Ti
es más que éste poema
es querer ser como Tú

Me has querido, amado
nunca me has olvidado;
yo Te abandono
y Te he traicionado
mas aun sigues amandome

Jesús,
en mi dolor
se Tú mi consuelo
se que estas
cerca de mi

"Volar Libre"

ESTOY SIEMPRE CONTIGO

¿Me necesitas? Estoy aquí contigo.
No puedes verme, sin embargo soy la luz que te permite ver
No puedes oírme, sin embargo hablo a través de tu voz.
No puedes sentirme, sin embargo soy el poder que trabaja en tus manos.
Estoy trabajando en ti, aunque desconozcas Mis senderos.
Estoy trabajando, aunque no reconozcas Mis obras.
No soy una visión extraña. No soy un misterio.
Sólo en silencio absoluto, más allá del "yo" que aparentas ser puedes conocerme, y entonces sólo como un sentimiento y como Fe.
Todavía estoy aquí contigo, Todavía te oigo.
Todavía te contesto.
Aunque me niegues, estoy contigo.
En los momentos en que más sola crees encontrarte, Yo estoy contigo.
Aún en tus temores, estoy contigo.
Aún en tu dolor, estoy contigo.
Estoy contigo cuando oras y cuando no oras.
Estoy en ti y tu estas en Mí.
Sólo en tu mente puedes sentirte separada de Mí, pues sólo en tu mente están las brumas de "lo tuyo" y "lo mío".
Sin embargo tan solo con tu mente puedes conocerme y sentirme.
Vacía tu corazón de temores ignorantes.
Cuando quites el "yo" de en medio, estoy contigo.
De ti misma no puedes hacer nada, pero Yo todo lo puedo.
Yo estoy en todo.
Aunque no puedas ver bien, el bien está allí, pues Yo estoy allí.
Sólo en Mí el mundo tiene significado; sólo de Mí toma el mundo forma;
Sólo por Mí el mundo sigue adelante
Soy la ley en la cual descansa el movimiento de las estrellas y el crecimiento de toda célula viva.
Soy el amor que es el cumplimiento de la ley.
Soy seguridad, Soy paz
Soy unificación, Soy la ley por la cual vives.
Soy el amor en el que puedes confiar. Soy tu seguridad.
Soy tu paz, Soy uno contigo, YO SOY.
Aunque falles en encontrarme, Yo nunca dejo de encontrarte.
Aunque tu fe en Mi es insegura. Mi fe en ti nunca flaquea
Porque te conozco, porque te amo.
Mi bien amada, estoy aquí, contigo.

God Calling



Me dice q me ama cuando escucho llover,
me dice q me ama con un atardecer,
lo dice sin palabras con las olas del mar,
me dice en la mañana con mi respirar,
CORO:
Me dice q me ama y q conmigo quiere estar
me dice q me busca cuando salgo yo a pasear,
q ha hecho lo q existe para llamar mi atención,
q quiere conquistarme y alegrar mi corazón
Me dice q me ama cuando veo la cruz,
sus manos extendidas, así tan grande es su amor
lo dicen las heridas d sus manos y pies,
me dice q me ama una y otra vez
CORO (2 veces)

A song/poem my Mom has always loved

Love, Your DNA

we
your songs
spinning
in your head
know
better
are
clever
feel
weather
you're gone or not

we know
you've been planning
to abandon
your mission

we know
the feeling
the unripe
eating away
at your healing

God knows
we know
they know
you know
you are stronger than that

you are a meloncholic
sack of bones
romantic
frail
girl
love does hurt
it's in your fingers
it's in your soul

we your blood
your DNA
feel the prick of loneliness
write it, love
write till it rains
write to right the wrongs he writes
write to find the stars and sky
we write, girl
for you
don't stop believing
it's true

--Stefanie Almendárez

Trip Towards God

Searching for God, I trip on the way. I haven't written anything for days, but searching for God, He puts words on my plate, a ring on my finger, the writer in me is well, I write again for His sake. Searching for God, I search for my ex-boyfriend; abandoned by Him, I search for God whom I abandon, and He makes me realize that He's never abandoned me. Searching for love, for the love of a man, I really search for my Father. Missing my father at home, I search for my Heavenly Father, I find Him in Church at Mass on Sunday at seven at night in the sweetest Eucharist, I find my brother Jesus. I find my Savior, my Everything. I search for God, I go for a bike ride; feel the wind my Creator has made especially for me that very instant. Searching for God, I trip on the way. I fall astray. He picks me up, lifts the mud off my face, and kisses me till I have His grace again. La niña de Sus ojos, the girl of His eyes, I pick myself up, in confession; I am blessed by the Father who absolves me of my sins. I find my faith, no longer trip, I find His face at the foot of the cross, all thoughts erased, I only think of Him now, and how I may please Him. Searching for God, I find comfort in my Mother, I read about her apparitions, I watch La Virgen de Coromoto, and feel my faith renewed, and wish everyone knew about this movie and would watch it fervently. I search for God every day. Some days are cold some days are gray some days are great, the skies are perfectly made by Him for us. On these days I search for God like the freshest drink of water. I thirst. I thirst. I thirst. For my truest love of all. God. I thirst, but He thirsts more for the souls of us. So I say to my soul come hurry up let’s go to our Father, and on our way there pray for friends and souls and loved ones as well, and strangers as well, that none of us be lost, that all of us be well and far from the hell that some don’t believe in, but still I know exists. I dream of heaven, I dream with Jesus. I dream with Mother Mary, I dream with my Father present where the sun’s rays hit the verdant green of a thankful tree, of a thankful plant giving me air to breathe, it knows better, that its Creator gives it this capability. Searching for God, I always trip on the way, but this is the way it must be, for me to move my face from the darkness to light, it is God who oversees, and directs my pace, even these typing fingers He knew of all along. Searching for God, searching for God all day long, even night searches.

Siempre Acabo Por Llorar (a video I made last night)

While going through a nervous breakdown, I heard this song by Jose Luis Rodriguez El Puma and felt God speak to me through some of its lyrics...

Octavo Día (Eighth Day)

The Perfect Love

God must choose the right man for me
If this is the path that He wants for me
He wants the best for me
I want what He wants for me
I won’t settle
I won’t

When I search through all my past “lovers” and present, I can’t find the true fit, the “perfect” love, the one. None of them can compete with God’s Love. God’s perfect love. I yearn for this perfect love, but I know it doesn’t exist. But God exists, and He is more than enough Love for me.

Be who you are.
That is what I must do.
Be who I am.
Follow my own Star.

“The closer you come to God, the more you become yourself.” --Sister Ida

“The closer you approach to God, the simpler you will become.”--from Therese

Stop begging for just any love


These lyrics (the three lines in bold) came into my head one night when I really needed to hear them, when I was away from God and only occupied with the things of this world...God spoke in a whisper to my heart through Hermana Glenda's song lyrics...I hadn't heard this song in a long time, so it was strange to hear these words in my mind...but God knows I needed to hear them...

If you knew the love that God has for you
if you knew what He wants to give to you...

If you knew how much I love you
if you knew how much I love you
you would stop living without love
If you knew how much I love you
if you knew how much I love you
you would stop begging for just any love


If you knew how much I search for you
if you knew how much I search for you
you would let My voice reach you
if you knew how much I search for you
if you knew how much I search for you
you'd let Me speak to your heart
if you knew how much I search for you
if you knew how much I search for you
you'd listen more to My voice

If you knew how much I dream of you
you'd ask Me, what I expect of you
if you knew how much I dream of you
you'd search for what I've planned for you

God Speaking by Mandisa

Have you ever heard a love song
That set your spirit free
Have you ever watched a sunrise
And felt you could not breathe
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking
Have you ever cried a tear that
You could not explain
Have you ever met a stranger
That already knew your name
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking

Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us I love you

Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here
Do you know what it feels like
To be tangled up in fear
What if He's somehow involved
What if He's speaking through it all

His ways are higher
His ways are better
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger
Than God in a manger

God is speaking
I love you

Lonely no more


Dear Jesus,

Here in my loneliness, I resign myself to You. I resign myself from wanting so much, from wanting parties, and a boyfriend, and outings. I resign myself from wanting better clothes, better things, a car, a bigger house. I want to not want anything. Just God, just You, and the moment. The moment that is all you give to me.

Here in my loneliness, I am no longer pressured with sadness as I think about You. You are the secret to not having this sadness that seems to suffocate. I only turn to You and all is gone. It is only You and I. The stars and the universe. Lonely stars not lonely any longer with the light from Your hand. You form them, you make them, you caress them like no other. This is how you caress me and console me. If only everyone knew this secret. That in You is everything, everything we need.

Just like an angel



God is a baby
God is Father
God is the heart that always sings
God is endless joy and mercy
God is that rose that revives my days
God is that tender bluest sky
God is that stranger, just like an angel
God is that homeless you just give a dime
God is the silence
God is peace
God is faith, and hope, and love
God is laughter
God is all that we could ask for
God is Jesus Christ

In God's hands

I was just listening to Nelly Furtado's song called "In God's hands" i can relate to this song very much. about a year ago, a boyfriend i loved very much left me, our relationship had lasted almost a year, when he decided not to be with me anymore. i was left with an unbearable pain in my heart. i can totally relate to this song's lyrics. but in my case, in all the parts where it says "we", it should really say
"he"





Nelly Furtado Lyrics
In God's Hands Lyrics

Flipping through my Women of Faith Devotional Bible again, i came across this perfect quote: "Only God coming into your life can heal your soul from some of the wounds and brokenness you've had." --Barbara Johnson

This quote comes to me as a confirmation that God is healing me or is going to heal me of any wounds i may have left in my heart and soul. i thank God for this Bible, for these words from this wise woman, for this blog.

A girl after God's own heart



I didn't know what i was going to title this blog. i asked God for the perfect name, so i opened my Bible and there was this quote from 1 Samuel 13:14: "The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart...." i hope to write new poems for God, new journal entries about my journey with Him; that this blog will give Glory to Him is what i aim for. to deepen my love for Him.
