Are you sure of what you are doing?

Being sure that you are where you should be is vitally important. When we talk about important decisions in life, if you are not sure that you are marrying the right person, that you are studying the right thing, that you are accepting the right job, that you are moving to the right place, etc., sooner or later that insecurity will bring you problems.

That insecurity will be transformed into indecisions, worries, stress, problems with people close to you, one bad decision after another; at best you'll live dissatisfied with your life, and at worst, it'll become a spiral of problems after problems that will lead you to an unsustainable life.

The Bible teaches us in Romans 14 that there are different matters in which some think one way and others another way, and it concludes by saying "blessed is the man that not condemns himself in what he approves" (Rom. 14:22) and "everything that does not come from faith is sin" (Rom. 14:23). What's the key? It's in verse 5, "you must be fully convinced in your own mind" (paraphrased).

In other words, for those matters that the Bible doesn't say what is right and what is wrong, YOU HAVE THE POWER TO DECIDE WHETHER IT IS RIGHT OR IT IS WRONG! You are the one who makes it succeed or fail! With the conviction within you that you are doing the right thing will come an inner tenacity that will make you not give up despite the obstacles. In the same way, the doubt and insecurity within you that you are not doing the right thing will make you unstable in all your ways and you will find reasons to quit all the time.

I year and a month ago, I migrated with my family here to the United Stated, with the firm conviction that it was our heavenly Father who called us, opened the doors for us, who goes before us to prepare our way and who has resolved to bless us to be a blessing to many. Not only my wife and I are convinced of this, but so are our sons, and we are grateful for the open doors that He has shown us so far and excited for what He has in store for us. We do not focus on the problems that come up, but we overcome them together. Those problems are not our focus. What He has done, is doing and will do is our focus! It is not difficult for us not to give up, that is not even an option. On the contrary, we are expecting for what is to come! That's how it is when you have an inner conviction that you are where you need to be!

Happy independence day to all my American friends, peruamerican friends and to all those who live this country!

Our Father still will be faithful

Minnesota!

Before we left working at the church cafeteria, our heavenly Dad has already prepared for us to work at the Weberbauer's school cafeteria: two teachers came by to eat at the church cafeteria and told my wife that, if we are interested, we can send a proposal to Weberbauer's office to take over of its cafeteria. They accepted.

Before we left working at the Weberbauer's cafeteria, our heavenly Dad has already prepared for us to work at Saga Falabella's dinning area: the security guy at Weberbauer school told my wife that Saga Falabella is looking for somebody to administrate its dinning area. We sent them a proposal, and they accepted.

Before we left working at Saga Falabella, our heavenly Dad has already prepared for us to work at the cafe bistrot in the French Alliance's location: by a screen shot my mom sent me about a post of the lady in charge of the art area at the French Alliance, we knew they were looking for an administrator for its cafe bistrot. Though they were looking for months, they didn't find any administrator which they were comfortable with, even though some of them were well known restaurants. We tried and they accepted our proposal.

Then we moved to EEUU and could see that really our heavenly Dad has gone before us preparing the way: the migration area was almost empty, the migration officer was super kind and fast, our necessary documents to get a job came after two weeks, so at the 16th day after arriving to the States, I've got a job. River Valley Church, which is the church we are attending is full of grace, life and love, my two boys like it, and its the place we decided to be rooted in.

When I recall this, I get encourage to keep believing in my Dad's faithfulness, and gives me certainty that He still will be with me helping me for what's coming and for what's still have to be taken care of: my boys' school, the place where we'll live, car, ministry, personal projects, etc. He was faithful and Hell still be faithful!

I hope this also encourage you! Our heavenly Father wants to show Himself faithful to you too! He loves you, He is for you, He goes before you preparing the way for you! You won't be going through uncertain ways, but through prepared ways! They are prepared for you to walk in to reach the fullness of your destiny!!
