My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
2 Corinthians 12:9, 10 NLT -
los que no danzan
Una niña que es inválida
dijo: —«¿Cómo danzo yo?»
Le dijimos que pusiera
a danzar su corazón…Luego dijo la quebrada:
—«¿Cómo cantaría yo?»
Le dijimos que pusiera
a cantar su corazón…Dijo el pobre cardo muerto:
—«¿Cómo danzaría yo?»
Le dijimos: —«Pon al viento
a volar tu corazón…»Dijo Dios desde la altura:
—«¿Cómo bajo del azul?»
Le dijimos que bajara
a danzarnos en la luz.Todo el valle está danzando
en un corro bajo el sol,
y al que no entra se le hace
tierra, tierra el corazón.-Gabriela Mistral

why my job changes my life.

It was too dark to see the time exactly. She gave him credit for his thoughts, although too many of them made the space seem crowded and claustrophobia came like a mosquito on a summer night; pinching and driving her to scream.
She looked out the window and her heart sped up, not long ago she was on the road nearby and nobody could even read her face, let alone her mind. Now she was stuck and he seemed almost psychic.
Silently, she screamed that she wanted to leave.
“Not yet,” he said aloud. He spoke her greatest fears- her worst nightmares, his voice full of uncertainty and yet deep control. Her heart shriveled into its hole on the left side of the center console.
She lost it there. Waiting. Wishing she could be free again. Waiting. Wishing. Waiting.
Soon enough, though, she was driving down the road, and none of it had happened. It was all a thing of the past, a brake light’s breadth of life away.
It seemed a moment altogether too far from her to see clearly in the rear-view mirror. She tried to ignore the disclaimer, but some haunting, fleeting thought found her.
OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR.
And there they were: crowded, lost, and left behind.
It was too dark to see the time exactly, but she felt it might be time to move on. -
Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. Thus, all progress rests on the shoulders of the unreasonable people.
George Bernard Shaw -
Dying for educational opportunity.
Today: be thankful for the educational opportunities you are afforded. You can be sure that somewhere, someone is denied the same rights and resources that you take for granted. Practice everyday thankfulness for your education, stray from apathy and complaint.

at some point we must begin to remember how to forgive and forget and let go and start over. at some point we must learn to love ourselves again; because no matter how hard we try, we can never fully love others until we love the one most deeply connected to us: the self.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury,pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Lord, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
AmenSt. Francis of Assisi

Met some really amazing girls today at Whitehall’s SWAT (Strong Women and Teens) group. Talked with my sisters about overcoming obstacles such as disabilities and age and making the best of everything life brings. So thankful for reminders like these…
Also, tie-dyed for the annual Christmas Eve donation at Albany Med! :)
