The year of God’s favor.
Yes, 2025 is gone, flying away. The time is passing so fast that, the only way I can grasp some moments it's through journaling, for future reflections. It is good to recall some blessings and also, some points to work more in the future to come. I hope 2026 will be a year for some good and honest answers (and improvements), if you are looking for them!
Align your pesrpective!
Every new year it's a time to look back and think about how we finished the last year: The good and the bad events that we experienced. However, we can choose how things will affect our future, how we're going to react and move forward from where we are now. There is a new beggining for all of us. There is hope in our future.
I am loved!
"Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance. Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense.Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up!"
