Going...Going..Gone

So wow so much has happened since I blogged a few months ago.
Don't know if I can ever begin or even finish sharing exactly but what I can say is that God continues to guide my every step.

So much continues to unfold in my life, and as hard as it has been in the past, I feel as though my faith is renewed with every developing chapter in my life.

As I close one chapter of a life I lead for 10 years, I now get to start an updated version of it and embrace all and everything God has for me. Nothing is guaranteed in life, not even our own life. We can only embrace our life and place God first and take each punch that life may swing your way. I used to fear so many things, and although I was a Christian, I truly had not been set free from so many things from my past. I created a bubble in which I lived in and believed so many lies the enemy had made me believe about myself and my life.

Jesus already had paid the price, has risen and defeated death all for his love for us, me. I did not truly understand the depth of this amazing truth.

So now my focus is in truly going where God leads me to go. I continue to see God's hand in my life, moving at the speed of lighting.

I tried going the path I thought was best and it lead me no where. So now I have humbled myself to let Him lead me and show me which road to take. Ever since then, my life has never been the same. I truly whole heartily surrendered my life to him and as hard as that was, I have never felt better, more free and with over bounding peace.


God is good...better than anything I have ever experienced.

I love my life just the way it is, as it is how it is supposed to be. I love my God, my children, my job, my daily walk with God, my ministry and even the bumps along the way, as they strengthen my walk and my faith in God.

Good things are coming...this I know. Bigger and Better things...truly incredible life changing things are coming. Ahhhh I smell it, I envision it and I can't wait to experience all God has for me.


Thank you Jesus for loving me this much...

In His Grip,

Gina

Catching Up is Hard to Do

Perseverence is something we must learn to have each and everyday.

I know that there are days when we just can't or when things fail and we are left with no energy to continue.

I feel that aside from running my own race, we all run a diferent race, and sometimes people misunderstand that concept. Some people are so caught up on their own that they tend to push you aside to get to their own destination.

What I have learned is that we have to treat people with respect and love and be consistent with them.

We must respect others as they try to run their own journey in life and not try to re-direct their path simply because you think it may be the wrong one.

So run your race with your head on high and try not to knock others down.

You never know when you may need that person you just knocked down.

Such is life!

Peace and Love to all!

I am so excited :)

God has been doing some amazing things in my life,

and I cannot believe I have not blogged since my birthday! Ahhh ::laughs::

But how AMAZING this past month has been

Aside from God continuing His work in me,

 I am now seeing the ramafications of the seeds

I've planted along the way :)

God has blessed me with the opportunity to start my very own business! Yes Me :)

I now run and operate my very own business as an

Independent Skin Care Consultant

 with the #1 brand in the U.S. Mary Kay

I now have the opportunity to change the way women see themselves and show them their true beauty from the inside out.

How wonderful to be able to invest in people. We invest is so much with things that do not fill us, but now Mary Kay has given me the opportunity to meet women everywhere I go and share some love and bring a smile to their faces.

  

I get to do that... by investing in their lives :)

Mary Kay Ash built this company with this motto

" God first, Family second and Career third"

If we place our priorities in order everything works perfectly.

I have placed God first in my life and now everything is going according to God's plan.

I am so excited that I can share about God's love and sprinkle

Mary Kay everywhere I go.

God continues to do miracles in my life and

 He's not done yet.

My faith is in HIM and I know I will achieve my Dreams!

I am stepping out of my comfort zone and reaching for the stars :)

And with God by my side I will achive my dreams!

Thank you Lord for all that you do and all that you Will do!

So don't be surprised when you see me with my

Proud to be an American-a

Wow I have waited for almost two decades to do what I did yesterday.

I just became a United States Citizen this past February 2010.

My dream to become a citizen had finally been fulfilled.

Having immigrated from Peru as a small child at the age of 7 years old, America is all I've truly known.

I grew up studying civics and American history and totally identified with everything this country stands for.

This quote below a famous statement that was adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The text of the second section of the Declaration of Independence reads:

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I cannot agree more with this, we all have come to a new land to seek these things just like the colonist did.

I am filled with pride for this country and like I did yesterday be actively involved in our country's affairs and participate in expressing my vote with regards to electing or recalling (in Carlos Alvarez's case) our government officials.

I have always been into politics and although I try to stay well informed, I have come to the conclusion that it is not what party you affiliate yourself to, but the issues you believe in. You can't compromise your belief on a certain issue and since Politics is not an exact science, you have to "choose" what issue or issues most matter to you regardless of the political party.

In the last presidential elections, alot of people were so tense at the choices in front of them, and specially what people would think of them if they voted for that or the other. Again it all goes back to the "issues", hence why so many Democrats voted Republican and vice versa. Did they "betray their party" no, dynamics changed in America and new options were finally offered to America in the past election. All we can do is do our constitutional right and VOTE.

I encourage you to do your own research and read about the candidates, see the issues tabs and read the one that apply to you or that you are strongly interested in. Read what the candidates say what they support and what they do not support. It is always easier to watch the news, or to see commentaries or ask someone who "they are voting for", but at the end, one needs to "take the time" to first of all pray. Pray for the candidates and ask God to guide you, then educate yourself, and lastly to go to the polls and vote.

ELECTION TOOLS Just for YOU

What to bring to the Poll:

I will end with this last note:

As I left the Cutler Ridge Public Library yesterday afternoon, one of the candidate volunteer asked me "Ma'am who did you vote for? Did you Vote Democrat? or Republican?"

I responded" I voted for a few democrats and few republicans"

And the volunteer answered" That's exactly what educated voters do! Thanks for coming out!"

So educate yourselves and make your vote count!

Be blessed my friends :)
