Finding your remedy

“In every trial, plead with Jesus to show you a way out of your troubles, then your eyes will be opened to behold the remedy and to apply to your case the healing promises that have been recorded in His Word. In this way, your enemy will find no place to lead you into mourning and unbelief, but instead you will have faith and hope and courage in the Lord.” Selected Messages, book 2 pp. 272-274

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Phil. 4:19 (Cambridge)

I know: ‘Criticism’ is spelled wrong, but I didn’t make it.

Enjoy the sunshine!!!

1] Latino branding has gone to far…
An excellent article by Julio Ricardo Varela for NBC Latino

“Any sense of authenticity about the U.S. Latino experience is getting oversaturated with clueless mediocrity. Instead of trying to reflect a new and honest perspective of the bilingual-bicultural individual, we are fast becoming a Barrio Demographic. Instead of being ready for primetime, we get naked Panamanian models resting on large broccoli stalks.”

I completely agree with him. Instead of people knowing who the amazing Latin artist and professionals are, all people know is Pitbull and Sofia Vergara. Don’t get me wrong, Pitbull has talent (yes, even he has talent), but he degrades women. He performs with what looks like a harem of half naked women, and some of his lyrics are just offensive. Vergara, likes to perpetuate the hot Latina, sex-symbol image. When will people realize there is so much more to being Latin?

2] Prayer
“Prayer moves the arm of Omnipotence. Prayer has “subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire.” Christ Object Lessons, pp. 171, 172.

4] Song of the week- the lyrics aren’t particularly something I identify with but I love, love Zero Assoluto and the melody has been stuck in my head after letting Scusa ma ti voglio sposare play while doing my property outline.

5] Movie I wish I could watch instead of studying for exams: Mujeres al Borde de un ataque de nervios


XOXOXOXOX-
Make each moment count. EAT.PRAY.LOVE.

Growing up

What a Friday.
I have been outlining like a beast.
It has been a nice birthday celebration week. (I know, so Puerto Rican of me to celebrate for logner than a day). It is just so weird. All of a sudden, something snaps and you realize– you are no longer Disney Channel material. I am an adult, now actually well into her twenties.

There were those days where you begged for a bra, you dug in the size 0 bin at the mall just to be able to say you bought something from the “Juniors section.” The days when we felt grown up putting acne cream on our foreheads, and watched the teen-bopping novelas. It is so crazy how we grow up.

Freaky.

Things change. We often don’t notice a change in ourselves; we feel the same. But for some reason, it has been moment of epiphany. Maybe law school did it for me. Professors treat you like colleagues, and you attend fancy-shmancy events. You receive honors, and learn to make a real difference in your profession.

Sometimes, we feel like we don’t want to grow up.

I can say one thing, no matter how old we become, we can still hold onto a sweet innocence in our way of living. We can try to make certain that what is really most important in life, remains important.

One thing is sure, God has been so good to me. Growing up has been sweet, and I look forward to God’s blessings and His plan for my life. Thank you God for every experience and opportunity I have gotten the chance to live and learn from.

In for a treat.
