Tengo que decir un gran: ¡GRACIAS!, a todas las personas que comentaron en mi post anterior. A veces subestimamos lo que una pequeña nota puede hacer en la vida de otros.
Estamos viviendo tiempos difíciles, tiempos donde buscar una posición o nombre es lo que dirige a muchos. El afán a lo material y a la “buena vida” esta llevándonos a vivir vidas completamente vacías sin sentido y peor aún sin amor. Y esto nos hace olvidar muchas veces el poder del mismo.
La Biblia nos dice que el amor de muchos se enfriará en los últimos días, lo que significa que en los próximos años las cosas cambiarán de malas a peor. Es por esto que el mayor énfasis q Dios el padre desea hacer en nosotros es amarlo a Él, a nosotros, y entre unos y otros.
Yo soy baja en estatura y esto lo heredé de mi mamá que a su vez es más bajita que yo. Pero cómo ella, esto nunca me limitó pues siempre pensamos en cosas grandes: grandes proyectos y grandes ideas. Pero más aun aprendí con ella a valorar y no subestimar las cosas pequeñas. Recuerdo que mi mamá casi que nos torturaba a mi y mis hermanos con sus notitas desplegadas por toda la casa y sus rincones. Nos dejaba notas de las cosas que teníamos que recoger, cerrar, guardar… pero siempre escribia su palabra de amor, un dibujito o un verso bíblico. Quizás lees esto y dices: aww eso es cute!!… humm! Cuando te los encuentras por todos lados créeme que te puede cansar. Todavía lo hace aún cuando me visita. En fin aprendí algo: a detail of love could change a life for ever!
Anoche recibí un e-mail que cambió mi vida y otra vez la manera en que veo las cosas. Me hizo entender nuevamente lo importante que puede ser un detalle. El e-mail es de una nueva amiguita que conocí el pasado diciembre durante la conferencia de Onething que se lleva a cabo anualmente en Kansas. Su nombre es Antoinette, una chica super simpática pero más aun llena de Dios. Esta conferencia atrae sobre 20,000 jóvenes de diferentes partes del mundo para despedir el año en ayuno y oración. Y yo estuve ahí con mi arte y mis chapas de botella (Bottle Caps LIFE Necklace). Antoinnette obtuvo uno de mis collares de chapas de botellas, ella escogió el que tenía la foto de mi hijo Diego con la palabra LIFE. Este collar era un detalle de una exibición fotográfica que habia hecho anteriormente sobre el movimiento VIDA, un movimiento que es en contra del aborto. Le conté a mi nueva amiga el testimonio hermoso que papa Dios habiá hecho con mi bebé Diego, cómo éste sobrevivió milagrosamente a un accidente que quizás les cuento luego.
Bueno no hablo más el e-mail habla por sí solo:
“I wore my LIFE necklace today and there was a girl in my class and she asked me about it and so i told her about life and what I believed and then she asked about whose baby was this and i shared the story of Diego and she began to cry and she opened her backpack and pulled out all these books on abortion and i looked at her and she asked me to step out of class. And we went into the hall way and she threw them in the trash and i got to pray for her and she asked me if i can go with her to cancel her appointment. So thank you for doing what God has given you the gift of art and creativity.
Ama La Vida
Antoinette”Cada año se pierden alrededor de 1.3 millones de bebes sólo en Estados Unidos. Gracias Antoinette por ser un instrumento de Dios y de vida y también a ti mami por enseñarme amar con los detalles. Juntas hemos salvado una vida!
A veces te puedes sentir como una chapa en el tope, pero otras veces tirado en una esquina y es ahí donde un desconocido te toma y te da una nueva oportunidad, quizás un nuevo propósito.Demos amor a aquellos que lo necesiten y salvemos más vidas para la Gloria de Dios!Salmo 82:3-4
“¡Defiendan a los huérfanos y a los indefensos!
¡Háganles justicia a los pobres y a los necesitados!
¡Libren del poder de los malvados a los pobres e indefensos!”
I need to say a big Thank You!! to all the people that commented on my previous post. Sometimes we underestimate what a small note can do in the lives of others.
We are living in difficult times, times were searching for a position or a name is what drives many. The worries of the material things and the “good life” is leading us to live lives that are completely void and without sense and worst still without love. And this makes us forget many times the power of it.
The Bible says that the love of many will grow cold on the last days, which means that in the next years things will get worst. It is for this reason that the biggest emphasis God the father wants to do in us is to love Him, love us and love one another.
I am short in stature and that I inherited from my mom who is even shorter than I. But like her, that was never an obstacle because we always thought big: big projects and big ideas. With her I learned to value and not underestimate the small things. I remember that my mom almost tortured me and my brothers with notes all over the house. She would leave us notes saying the things we needed to pick-up, close and store… but she would always write a word of love, a drawing, a bible verse. Maybe you read this and say: ah, that is cute!!!…humm! When you are finding those type of notes everywhere believe me you get tired. She still does this even when she comes to visit me. I learned something: a detail of love can change a life forever!
Yesterday night I received an email that change my life and again the way I look at things. It made me realize again how important a detail can be. The email is from a new friend that I met this past December during the Onething Conference that takes place in Kansas City. Her name is Antoinette, a very lovely lady, but more than that full of God. This conference draws over 20,000 young adults of different parts of the world to bring in the new year with prayer and fasting. And I was there with my art and bottle caps (Bottle caps LIFE necklace). Antoinette obtained one of the necklaces of bottle caps, she chose the one that had my son Diego with the word LIFE. This necklace was a detail of an exhibition of photography that I had done earlier because of the LIFE movement, a movement that is against abortion. I told my new friend about the beautiful testimony that Father God had done with my baby Diego, how he survived miraculously an accident that I may tell you about later.
Well I won’t speak more because the email speaks by itself.
“I wore my LIFE necklace today and there was a girl in my class and she asked me about it and so i told her about life and what i believed and then she asked about whose baby was this and i shared the story of deigo and she bagan to cry and she opened her backpack and pulled out all these books on abortion and i looked at her and she asked me to step out of class. And we went into the hall way and she threw them in the trash and i got to pray for her and she asked me if i can go with her to cancel her appointment. So thank you for doing what God has given you the gift of art and creativity.

Every year 1.3 million babies are lost in the United States alone. Thank you Antoinette for being an instrument of God and of life and also to you mom for teaching me to love with details. Together we’ve saved a life!
Sometimes you can feel like the bottle cap on the top, other times thrown on a corner and it is there where a stranger takes you and gives you an opportunity, maybe a new purpose. Let us give love to those that needed and save lives for the Glory of God!Psalm 82:3-4
“ Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed
Rescue the weak and needy deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
