Lessons in Life.

Yesterday, I got to spend a lovely day at Disneyland with three of my Dominican friends Betsy, Moises and Jusan (I don't know if I spelled that correctly). Other than having an amazing time I had the opportunity to learn one important life lesson. Moises pointed out to me that everything, I mean EVERYTHING can teach you something about your life. For example, he told me that he learned a life lesson from the Rollercoaster. He is an amazing teacher that is for sure. I liked his story about trying to go snorkeling with a life vest on. If you are a weak swimmer, you have to wear a life vest. As you are swimming, you want to dive down and see the beautiful creatures under the water, but the vest keeps you up. If you had trained yourself in swimming and diving, you would not need the vest. You would not be hindered, and you would be able to fully enjoy the experience. But, because you did not prepare yourself, you have to wear the vest. So you cannot fully enjoy it. Moises said, it is the same with our life. That we need to be spiritually strengthened so that we can fully enjoy what God has to offer in our life. That we carry things that hinder us because we are not prepared.

Oh God, help me to throw off all thath hinders. Help me to grow in strength and endurance. You know my weakness, you know my flaws.
¡Por favor Señor, ayudame!
