We Pray Because We Believe
“I think I have had more experiences of God in my life than not” – S
When I was a teenager, I wanted to go on the missionary trip with the youth group…and it was the day so so before my flight…and my passport hadn’t arrived…I remember crying and praying in my room on the floor…for the passport to arrive….and you know….it came that day…..
It’s hard to believe in difficult times…to be still…to not worry…to not get anxious… sometimes we just need to be still and reflect on the grace that God has already shown us in our lives… the little blessings…the ones we didn’t see as a blessing in disguise….the moments of happiness….the moments of grace…of favor…of love…
Let go and let God…. trust that everything will be okay….we pray because we believe….
Reflections – Self Love Journey
You are responsible for your actions good or bad… live and learn… listen to your mentors, be grateful for those who check up on you or remind you to keep going… pray for your friends who give you wisdom to live by…those who pray for you when you reach out…
Self inventory….Has much as it pains you to be still with yourself…you have to do it in order to grow in each season…
Listen to your inner self…Make peace with yourself and others….
Forgive and let go…
Pray…for guidance…for clarity…
for strength to get through each day….each season…but learn through the process…Take the positive out of each situation….
Love yourself…More than anything… love yourself above all else!! No one can make you happy as much as you can in doing and being true with yourself!!

Blue Sky
Look up to the beautiful blue sky
Hold on, it’s only a wrinkle in time
It’s a blessing, let your faith soar high
Live in the moment, it’s sublime
PATIENCE
Faith over fear, day by day
You want to run, but life derails
May God’s grace lead your way
Patience, my dear

Woman of Color, of Strength, Lead us….
As Latina women, we are not given much of a safe place in our community to speak the truth….tell our stories…share our pain, our struggles, so that the next generation will not repeat it.
We are told to put our heads down or turn away, to be stronger…
Yet we are raised by strong women: grandmothers, mothers, aunts, sisters, girlfriends, etc.
We are taught that our value as a woman is by default to be a wife and caretaker… which is a beautiful thing.
However, not all follow this path…be it by choice or circumstances.
To be a woman is not to be labeled, to be set by boundaries, to be held by standards, it’s to live and love the body and person who you were created to be.
As women, we are to live in a way that builds us and our communities, our younger generation, to be a positive role model. To share our stories, to guide them, protect them. To live in faith and love.
~ “No! I won’t be defined by your statistics.
Labeled by a standard, but by who?
Woman, Stand up! Speak up!
Woman of color, of strength….
Lead us…” ~ S 2020
Reflections
On January 1st, as always, I write my in my prayer journal, and I ask God to help me fulfill my life in my path for whatever is in my heart’s desire/passion/purpose, to guide me. I’ve read through my last three years…my January 1st(s)…and from 2018 …I’m asking God to push me to my destiny….help me move forward with my life’s goals and dreams..In 2019…I’m asking God to bring the right people into my life…to love myself in the middle of the storm I was going through in that time period….
And 2020…I asked for guidance…to find purpose in my poetry….to be more patient and understanding…to have an open heart….and my special prayer for my family and friends for 2020…
Today, in this moment, 2020 has been a blessing in disguise, I’ve found my love in many areas of my life through my passion for writing poetry, traveling alone, seeing new places, crossing paths with a special friend,
studying Creative Writing, working on a special project, connecting with other talented souls, poets, and writers…
I am where I need to be, even if it seems like it’s a storm…. It’s only a season, I made through the last two years….and this year… it’s becoming…I’m becoming…my Vision Board…my story…my voice…no longer in the shadows of my journals….
Live your life! Enjoy the moments when you laugh, when you feel alive 💫 Share your story…be a light to someone else… support your friends and family, love them, be love.
I AM –
– S ❤️
