New Perspective

I can’t wait forever for this weather to change

Our love is not the same, so I guess it’s time

To say goodbye.

Gotta move on, look ahead

Move forward, even if I see the sunset

I still got the moon to shine

I can’t wait forever, and your patience didn’t last

Our story belongs to the past

Guess we’ll just say goodbye, and we don’t have a next time.

Gotta move on, look ahead

Move forward, even if I see the sunset

I still got the moon to shine

That’s the new perspective to my life.

Won’t miss the moon trying to catch the stars

All at once with so many scars

I just can’t wait forever for you

My heart matters, and I won’t turn back

Gotta move on and look ahead

Move forward, even if I see the sunset

I still got the moon to shine

This is the new perspective to my life

New perspective of my life.

The Answer

I won’t lie, the first week of 2017 was very tough for me. So many things happened in eight days… amidst it all, two situations made me feel disappointed with a heavy heart.

I remember that one night I was feeling so drained, there was no one I could talk at that time, so I decided to kneel and cry my heart out to God. Told Him everything that happened to me, everything that I was going through. I asked for forgiveness, patience, faith, strength.

Talked about my frustrations, my mistakes, told Him how I wanted to be a better person, the things I wanted to stop doing…

Asked Him to help and guide the ones I love, and I was completely honest with Him. With a sincere heart and an open mind, I asked God for an answer, for a way out, something to solve the pain, anxiety and confusion I was feeling.

Suddenly, an amazing peace took over me. I finished that prayer being sure that I was heard, all those bad feelings went away.

Wednesday night, I received the answer that I needed:

Hebrews 10:19-25: “A Call to Persevere in Faith”

Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure waterLet us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithfulAnd let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

What I learned:

God wants you to trust and persevere.

We can have access to God all the time – church isn’t the only place we can meet Him, we don’t need a mediator (besides Jesus). We can talk to Him everywhere, anytime. All we need to do is to have confidence, be bold – He’s our God, He is merciful, He loves us, He saved us and all He wants is to see us happy. To talk with Him, we need a sincere heart because it leads us to His promises, that has been given and kept – and they’re ours! Makes us achieve peace within. He knows who we are – more than ourselves, and there’s no point in hiding who we are or what we feel.

To pray leads us to excercise our faith, replace bad thoughts and feelings with good things. Makes us believe that we can overcome bad situations, makes us trust when we can’t see where we’re going, or when we don’t understand why we’re going through these things.

When we have that relationship, it’s so much easier to forgive. So much easier to truly encourage other people to do better and be positive. When we get this support, all we want to do is the same with the next person – and this action makes us christians.

That night I learned so much about Him, so much about myself and so much about the ones I love that were going through hard times… no one could ever understand me like He did. No one could give me that kind of love and support. That night I felt stronger, ready, cleaned from all evil.

Instead of being stressed out, complaining, nervous about others’ opinions, pray.

Retrospectiva 2016: Blog

typewriter-1215868_960_720

2016 foi um ano de muitas lutas, mas também de conquistas. Só Deus sabe, tudo o que eu tive que mudar e superar nesse período de 12 meses, por muitas vezes doeu – tive que aprender e me desprender na “marra” haha, mas aqui estou e vejo o quanto isso foi bom para mim, o quanto tudo que me aconteceu, serviu para o meu crescimento pessoal e espiritual.

Uma máquina de escrever: é assim que eu me descrevo! Desde pequena eu descobri que esse realmente era o meu dom, que eu agradeço muito ao meu Pai por ter me dado. É um privilégio poder inspirar pessoas, aconselhar, poder escrever um texto, uma música, uma poesia e me orgulhar disso 🙂 amo o que faço e pretendo me especializar nisso! Ainda tenho o sonho de publicar um livro, gravar uma música minha profissionalmente, me tornar uma jornalista ou até mesmo fazer desse blog algo que tenha um maior alcance!

2016 foi o ano do meu retorno, como eu já havia contado à vocês, eu já havia passado aproximadamente um ano e meio fora da blogosfera. Fiz uma e outra postagem aleatória, mas a frequência já não era a mesma, até que eu parei de vez. E, esse ano, eu recebi um chamado muito forte: a mesma vontade, a mesma inspiração que me guiaram em novembro de 2013, reapareceram em meu coração no final de janeiro.

À partir daí, foram quase três meses de muita pesquisa e preparação: decidi que era a hora de ter um domínio, decidi que era hora de mudar a plataforma. Escolhi o WordPress, confesso que foi difícil entender a dinâmica e tantos pormenores, mas olha só CONSEGUI!

Confira comigo algumas das conquistas dessa nova fase:

Essa é a 71ª postagem do blog;

Tenho 38 seguidores no WordPress;

O blog conta com mais de 7.140 visualizações totais e mais de 3.100 visitantes;

Eu ousei e consegui: pela primeira vez eu fiz postagens em inglês, foram 15 no total;

1.130 comentários! Obrigada, sua opinião sempre será importante para mim;

Esse ano eu criei novas redes sociais para o blog e consegui mantê-las com sucesso: o Instagram @blogsenhoritadeise obteve 6.331 curtições em 72 postagens! Uma delas foi curtida pela @esmaltecolorama e teve 1.035 curtições, meu melhor resultado em uma publicação do instablog 🙂 – sem falar do lindo repost que fizeram da minha mão e passou das 4.700 curtidas!

Meu Twitter atualmente tem mais de 170 seguidores, e a página do Facebook atingiu a marca de 200 curtidas, só tenho a agradecer a vocês!

Minha postagem mais acessada possui 493 visualizações;

O blog foi acessado em países como: Estados Unidos, Portugal, Canadá, Angola, Venezuela, Alemanha, Japão, Itália, Espanha e muitos outros – foram 45 para ser mais exata! Uma conquista incrível 🙂 voltem sempre!

E tudo isso aconteceu em sete meses!

Obrigada meu Deus, o Senhor é a minha inspiração! Sem Ti, não sou nada, sem Ti não conseguiria manter esse blog! Foi o Senhor que me guiou até aqui, que me deu a coragem necessária, as palavras a serem ditas, e todos os conselhos que dei, foram experiências que o Senhor me proporcionou/que me ajudou a superar – eu te amo!

Em 2016, conheci blogueiras/pessoas maravilhosas nessa caminhada! Ouvi conselhos de vocês que eu carregarei comigo sempre. Vocês me ajudaram muito, e sei que com certeza amizades verdadeiras serão firmadas ❤

Obrigada mamãe pelo apoio, por me incentivar, por sempre me perguntar como está indo o blog, obrigada pelas ideias 🙂 obrigada por tudo, eu te amo muito!

Quero agradecer a todos que me acompanharam este ano, sim você aí do outro lado da telinha! Você faz isso tudo acontecer que a nossa parceria continue em 2017!

Obrigada!

2016 was a year of lessons. God knows, everything I had to change and overcome in this period of 12 months, for many times it hurt – I had to learn and let go, but here I am and now I see how good it was for me, I see how what happened to me, served for my personal and spiritual growth.

From an early age I discovered that writing was really was my gift, which I thank my Father so much for giving me. It is a privilege to be able to inspire people, to advise, to be able to write a text, a song, a poetry and be proud of it 🙂 I love what I do and I still have the dream of publishing a book, recording my music professionally, becoming a journalist or even making this blog something big!

2016 was the year of my return, as I had already told you, I had spent about a year and a half outside the blogosphere. I made random postings, but the frequency was no longer the same, until I stopped altogether. And this year I received a very strong call: the same will, the same inspiration that guided me in November 2013, reappeared in my heart at the end of January.

It was almost three months of a lot research and preparation: I decided it was time to have a domain, I decided it was time to change the platform. I chose WordPress, and I must confess that it was difficult to understand the dynamics and so many details, but look, here I am, I made it!

Check with me some of the achievements of this new phase:

This is the 71st blog post;

I have 38 followers on WordPress;

The blog has more than 7,140 total views and over 3,100 visitors;

For the first time I made posts in English, they were 15 in total;

1,130 comments! Thank you, your opinion will always be important to me;

This year I created new social networks for the blog and managed to keep them successful:  My Instagram @blogsenhoritadeise has received 6,331 likes in 72 posts! One of them was liked by @esmaltecolorama and had 1,035 likes, my best result in an instablog publication 🙂 – not to mention the beautiful repost they made of my hand and it passed the 4,700 likes

My Twitter currently has more than 170 followers, and the Facebook page has reached the mark of 200 likes, I just have to thank you! Check my social networks in my sidebar.

The most accessed post has 493 views;

The blog was accessed in countries like: United States, Portugal, Canada, Angola, Venezuela, Germany, Japan, Italy, Spain and many others – 45 to be more accurate! An incredible achievement 🙂 

And all of this happened in SEVEN MONTHS!

Thank you, my God, You’re my inspiration! Without You, I am nothing, without You I could not keep this blog! It was the Lord who led me here, who gave me the necessary courage, the words to be spoken, and all the advice I gave, were experiences that the Lord gave me /  helped me overcome – I love You!

In 2016, I met bloggers / wonderful people on this journey! I will carry your advices with me always. You have helped me a lot, and I know that true friendships will certainly happen ❤

Thank you Mom for the support, for encouraging me, for always asking me how the blog is going, thanks for the ideas 🙂 Thank you for everything, I loveeeee you!

I want to thank everyone who accompanied me this year, yes you there on the other side of the little screen! You make it all happen

Thank you!

Hope you like it 🙂

PS: Como a Beyoncé ainda não disponibilizou todas as músicas do LEMONADE no Spotify, eu não pude incluir “FORMATION” na playlist através do aplicativo, mas eu deixarei aqui o link do vídeo que foi adicionado recentemente à conta do YouTube dela: assista/ouça aqui, é a última canção da playlist!

PS: As you may know, Beyoncé doesn’t have her latest album LEMONADE on Spotify, so for that reason, I couldn’t add “FORMATION” to my playlist through the app, BUT I’ll leave here, the video link because that song made my year lol, I listened to it SO MANY TIMES! It’s the last video (in this playlist)

Nessa playlist você encontrará artistas como: Chris Brown, Coldplay, Kid Cudi, Kanye West, Ariana Grande e muito mais 🙂 Não se esqueça de dar o seu feedback! Me conte, quais foram as suas músicas favoritas em 2016? Quais fizeram o seu ano? Gostaram da playlist? Enfim, conte-me o que quiser 🙂  será um prazer te responder.

Obrigada pela sua atenção, Thank you for your attention!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I’m thankful for life, I’m thankful for this day.

Life ain’t easy, we gotta fight every day, we gotta survive, overcome trials and tribulations, but I know I’m not alone. There’s a God above looking out for me, for you, for us.

And I’m thankful for His grace. His will to make me win, His forgiveness, and for everything He’s providing me. Thankful because He’s always reminding me that there are more important things to live for, to look up to. I’m thankful because He never gave up on me.

I’m thankful and I won’t give up, doesn’t matter how I’m feeling, doesn’t matter what happens around me. I’m thankful for the good and bad times. Thankful for everyone who loves and understands me – I love you all, thankful for the ones who dislike me – you’re always pushing me to be better, thankful for the one who inspires me, the one who gave me a mission.

Thankful  ❤ God bless you allI love each one of you, thank you for being here, thank you for your support, thank you for giving me a chance to show what I have to offer, a chance to show you what I like, what I have to say. I’m thankful for your life 🙂

React With Love

This week I found an interesting post on Instagram – right now, I think it’s my favorite social network, so I like to spend time there, looking for new profiles, seeing my friends and family posts, and it’s a way to feel closer to my favorite artist.

Navigating there, someone reposted a picture with the text below, and I share the same thought. This is exactly what God expect from us as human beings, as people who love His Word and as believers of His Justice that never fails.

Read it with me, and please, let me know what you think!

“When people betray your trust, allow them.

But never, ever sink to their level.

Their choices are a direct reflection of who they are, not who you are.

No matter how angry, hurt, or disappointed you may be – do not allow them to make you bitter.

Be better. React with love.

Sometimes that means retaliating with understanding and compassion; other times it means retaliating with acceptance and sheer silence.

Whatever it is, make sure it benefits you as a human being instead of lowering you into a position which you would rather not be in.

Normal people don’t go around destroying other human beings.

Only those who are hurt, lost, and confused cause pain.

Don’t be one of them.

Just take the lessons and move on gracefully.” – Unknown author

There’s also a quote by my favorite artist, that says a lot about how we should feel when something or somebody tries to bring us down:

“Change the world, don’t let the world change you.” – Chris Brown

It’s in our hands to make the world we live in, a better place. Don’t hold grudges, let the past go, let the hurt go. Pray for your enemies, and focus on yourself. Trust God, He knows what’s best for you, and He’ll put the right people in your life. Always react with love! You’ll be rewarded, the blessings will come!

Thank you for being here, hope you come back real soon! If you liked it, don’t forget to share this blog with somebody you love. If you wanna check it out on IG, here’s the link.

God bless you always!
