O coração.

O coração da gente gosta de atenção. De cuidados cotidianos. De mimos repentinos. De ser alimentado com iguarias finas, como a beleza, o riso, o afeto. Gosta quando espalhamos os seus brinquedos no chão e sentamos com ele para brincar. E há momentos em que tudo o que ele precisa é que preparemos banhos de imersão na quietude, para lavarmos, uma a uma, as partes que lhe doem. É que o levemos para revisitar, na memória, instantes ensolarados de amor capazes de ajudá-lo a mudar a frequência do sentimento.

Há momentos em que tudo o que precisa é que reservemos algum tempo a sós com ele para desapertá-lo com toda delicadeza possível.

...Keep Smiling!

Life is full of gifts, if we only stop and notice. If we choose to to be thankful and treasure all life's gifts, then we will find our lives are filled with joy and happiness - the hurts and disappointments won't weigh us down as much.

When you learn to love yourself, you will be much happier and life outlook will be more positive.

Enjoy the little things, for one day you will realize they were the big things.

Stop worrying what you have to lose and start focusing on what you have to gain.

...And Just Keep smiling!

Seus caminhos são misteriosos.

"Deus costuma usar a solidão

Para nos ensinar sobre a convivência.

Às vezes, usa a raiva para que possamos

Compreender o infinito valor da paz.

Outras vezes usa o tédio, quando quer

nos mostrar a importância da aventura e do abandono.

Deus costuma usar o silêncio para nos ensinar

sobre a responsabilidade do que dizemos.

Às vezes usa o cansaço, para que possamos

Compreender o valor do despertar.

Outras vezes usa a doença, quando quer

Nos mostrar a importância da saúde.

Deus costuma usar o fogo,

para nos ensinar a andar sobre a água.

Às vezes, usa a terra, para que possamos

Compreender o valor do ar.

Outras vezes usa a morte, quando quer

Nos mostrar a importância da vida."

(Paulo Coelho)

Trust & Peace.

I am not going to lie, I am hurt. My heart has been broken. But I am doing fine. How can this be?! Why am I not bawling my eyes out and thinking my life is over?
This is all so interesting and has been such a growing experience.

During this break-up, I do feel sad once in a while, but it's a different kind of sadness. I feel sad because I felt mistreated and deceived. I feel sad because I do miss the times I was happy with him. But I don't feel sad about the break-up.
For some reason, I feel in peace. I feel like God has been reassuring me that this is for the best. But this is not like those times when you know it's for the best, but you still feel like crap. I actually FEEL better. Even though I might feel alone (physically, I mean) I KNOW and FEEL that I am not alone spiritually. 
I have never felt this kind of love from God before. It is so amazing and overwhelming - to a point I started crying out of joy and gratefulness over His presence. I've never felt so loved, yet I felt so mistreated by the ones I love. For the first time in my life, I understand, I feel, and I accept the paths God wants me to take. I feel an indescribable trust that I will be okay. I am okay. I feel peace and joy in my heart again. Even my hormone mood swings and cramps have gone WAY down! (Crazy...)

I can't begin to explain how much I have grown spiritually and mentally. I've learned a lot about myself with all of this. I know this was in God's plan; I was supposed to mess it up, to feel distant from God, and to feel lost, and have people disappoint me... Because that way I can finally understand that only ONE will make me feel complete and will satisfy a thirst that no worldly matter can. Because God is enough!

Thank You God for always being here with me, for walking with me through every step of my life... I know you've never left me.
I am the lost sheep... But I have returned to my Shepherd.

Thank You Again Father,

Your Child.
