Tão confuso!

Acontece assim: Quando você sonha, ninguém te apoia. Todo mundo acha que é "sonho demais" pra você conseguir. Quando digo TODO MUNDO* pode ser uma leve genralização de poucas pessoas, mas as mais importantes. É assim mesmo. Não tem jeito. Outro dia observei um passarinho levantar vôo: O passarinho bica a grama; olha para os lados; dá curtos passos; agora rápidos passos; abre as asas; e pronto; naturalmente, ele já está voando. Bom, se falávamos de sonho, nada como a metáfora "voar", né? Cada momento de nossa vida é único! Precisamos colher, conhecer, aprender; precisamos observar, e escolher um "lado" pra seguir; precisamos dar passos, se longos ou curtos? lentos ou rápidos? Cada um cuida dos seus. Importante é não cessar os passos. Talvez esse seja o grande problema do egoísmo. Se você tem uma ótima vida, ao seu ver, e observa seu amigo que pouco/nada tem, você com certeza vai ter a egoísta atitude de citar "os erros" dele ao bicar, escolher um ...

...Melhor mesmo é...

...acordar ao som dos pássaros. Incrível! Mesmo sendo "cedo demais" para muitos, entre 5:50 e 6:01 da manhã é o melhor momento para se abrir os olhos lentamente. Enquanto eu lentamente piscava, eu pensava: "Nossa! deve ser cedo, o Sol ainda nem fez efeito" e piscava.. "Já!? como clarea rápido!" e piscava... "Caramba! como os pássaros cantam alto!" e piscava... "Que lindo! eu não sabia que tinha tanto pássarinho no meu vizinho" e piscava... "Nhéé, jázim a loucura começa e eu mal ME escuto, imagina os pássaros!?" piscadinha e... "Pior que é desse jeito..." É desse jeito que o falar de Deus muitas vezes acontece na nossa vida. Não sempre. Só muitas vezes. Óí! viu? quer dizer, ouviu? foram necessários apenas 3 minutos e a propagação sonora se fez de: passos; janelas sendo abertas; portão abrindo; telefone tocanto; carro ligando; espirro; cachorro latindo; vozes, dos "de casa" e dos vizinhos... e meu despe...

How to find happiness?

The other day I watched 4 caterpillars turning into butterflies...it was like poetry! So, as i watched them grow I was surprised of how much we can be compared to them!!! o.O When a caterpillar is in her cocoon, the LIGHT of the sun is what wakes them up, makes them start trying to get off the cocoon and be born again. But I noticed it is a painful process...the caterpillars are "too big" for that little, thin, cocoon and as they tried to get off it, I watched their little "legs" in such a fast and tiring process of "pushing themselves" out of there. Not that we are to figure if we are caterpillars, or butterflies, but we all sure got cocoons to get out off. And this is all about it. Getting out of what is stopping you from growing, seeing life as something BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN SEE. There is always a cocoon, and yes, it will always be painful to get off it and leave it behind. ..so after the butterfly left the cocoon, she slowly "tried out" her wi...

Music of My Heart

I'm not ashamed to tell the whole world, oh Without you, I'm nothing at all That I have strings in need of mending I'm out of tune in certain parts So strum the chords of mercy Restore my soul completely Lay your hand upon me And this instrument will breathe [Chorus] 'Cause you're the music of my heart (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The melody within my soul (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The song that holds me in the dark (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The fire that warms me when I'm cold (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The symphony that calms my fear (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The lyric that I long to hear (Yeah yeah yeah yeah) The masterpiece, the work of art Complete before I start The music of my heart Yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Creator of all that is lovely, oh Write a tune upon my heart And when you finish will you play me Like a beautiful guitar? Strum the chords of mercy Restore my soul completely Breathe life into me And this instrument will sing [Repeat Chorus] Of my heart I'm cap...

What can be made out of us?

As Augusto Cury mentions in his book "O Vendedor de Sonhos" (The Dream Seller): "all the pain, all the frustrations, are privilege of LIFE" (life also brings happiness!!) Last week I was notified that a great pastor of mine, was taken to the hospital because three of the main veins of his heart, were clogged. His surgery, is tomorrow. God is blessing :) Last week, I read on my friends' blog, about the children she has been working with in the favelas of Belo Horizonte (Brazil). There are 6 children, and their mother is in jail for the third time...so 5 children are watched by the older sister...12yo. On the past few weeks I found out that a great friend of mine, had one breast removed because of cancer. I was just notified that a parent killed himself. Now, his wife, is a mother on her own, and the children, don't have a father's figure to instruct them as they grow. Last week, a beautiful baby was born!!! :D named Daniel: "God is my judge" I ...

The process...

Hi dear Blog!...its been a while han!? .. .. So, I took this Creative Activity class (we just ended the semester), and THE PROCESS had me inspired to write this post. In this class, we discussed about the importance of focusing on the fun and all the development that can be achievable for a child in the process of things, not the product. For example: Lets suppose that you create an activity for your children, and all you provide them are scissors, glue, paint, cotton, paper, and a whole wall where you can staple their work at, once its done. Now, you don't know what the outcome will be like, and the children themselves, have no idea of what they are going to do. THIS IS PROCESS! The outcome is unknown; the PRODUCT is unimaginable. Yesterday, on my final exam we were supposed to draw something related to our understanding of CREATIVITY/ focusing on the PROCESS...I began drawing hsuahdqu ...and I switched colors of crayons and others hsuahdqu ... and I was so engaged in doing the ...

Can I climb up in Your lap?

--> listen to --> www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFOytQrKnjk&feature=related This is how life really plays, sometimes. Things seem to be a little dark, and we don't see an escape, which i would translate as: RESPOSTA/ RESULTADO/ PREOCUPACOES (worries). What will be the results of my test? What will be the response of the immigration? What will be the response of the bank? What will be the results of my heart exams? What will they gonna say? or..the classic fear... What will God say? When it rains or snows, we can barely see the road. That's why "rainy and snowy days" are used to describe pain, fear. We can barely see beyond. Hold on faith! "There can't be Spring before Winter, anyway..." How hard is it to hold on the King's promises of healing, forgiveness, and honoring those who love Him? The truth is that "by the end of the day" , dear readers, what really matters is that we gotta keep singing. We gotta keep praising His name. After al...
