Effective time

Sooooo. Today. I learnt something rather substantially big. It is crucial to have TIME OUT with God. Otherwise how can you be filled? How is it possible to be a shining light? Even holding firmly in my heart to what is right, does not allow for anytime of rejoicing or shining! How can we 'shine out' with His grace and love if we do not spend time with Him, and by this I mean substantial time, not just praying and reading whenever we have time, but actually Making Time for Him. This last year has held so much, but I was not being filled as I should have made my priority to do. I thank a special friend for this, which is what I needed to know, one who is not afraid to wham me with the truth. She is a true friend. So I am going to give time, right now!

I learn, and I learn this continually, everytime that things seem impossible, that it is a time of becoming once again, more reliant on the Lord, and more dependant in His word. These 'crash' times, where life is too complicated to be able to sort out on my own, is also a time of increased joy, because I know what I must do, and that is to open my heart to His word, and seek Him with all my heart. I LOVE this time! Because I don't understand, and I HAVE to rely on Him! Oh I wish I did this in any case!!! How wonderful it is, when you have been far, to come home again :)

Finally...

This blog is officially opening!

A very broad introduction

So, at the moment, im setting about fixing settings, have become my own follower, which is kind of stupid, but...well, I wanted to see what it looked like, and am contemplating what is best to put up. Current events in my life are hanging in the balance, but humility in heart before the Lord contributes greatly towards seeing with clear vision (0oooh, I am learning how blind pride is!)and what path would be best to pursue. Eeeek, Im not sure how much one should express here, you can get carried away so easily with typing. I'm not sure if I should foundationally write about the things I am learning spiritually, in my Christian life (although undoubtedly it will come up sooner or later, I guess it already has:P) as I have a thousand things that I want to say, a thousand questions I want to ask, and I hope too that others will want to discuss, and find interesting and uplifting.

By the way, if you are wondering why 'Esperanza_continues', well, in part, Esperanza means hope. The name has stuck with me for a long time, I'm not exactly sure why, but it is also a good reminder.
