A New Intake of Life

A New Intake of Life

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

May 2014
My spirit had run dry after many years of questioning God whether or not I was meant to be a wife. I always knew that I was NOT intended to be ANY man’s Querida - lover. however, I was oblivious to see that God had something aligned for me at HIS time, NOT at mine. Just when I had given up, he gifted me with what I had longed for - another one of my victories (my husband). That’s when I clearly, directly and intensely felt his presence and realized that he is watching us from the moment we are born. He gives us the opportunity to see, live and experience things for us to grow and evolve for better. Despite that, sometimes we tend to take the reign and push him aside deceiving ourselves that our destiny is in our hands.

Last May, I remember one night very vividly. I was in desperate search for answers and decided to open my heart to him, I asked him, “God, I leave this matter in your hands, I no longer wish to retain this emotional burden. Help me be patient, I need your guidance to help me understand and accept your will. Whether you want me to be a successful business woman, a religious figure, a wife, a mother, please give me signs and open my mind and eyes to visualize it and work towards it.”

Shortly after that, a month to be exact, all my prayers were answered...
My husband came to my life. I know it sounds wild, but from the moment we met, we knew we were the ‘one’ for each other. It took a little longer for me to figure it out, not because I didn’t   sense the good in him, BUT because I was filled with skepticism from prior hurt and disappointment. God worked arduously year after year since we were born for our paths to merge at the right time and place, that’s why we are very blessed with each other.

I can visualize one of the first things I told him, (thinking to myself but was very bold at the same time, after dodging many bullets I can no longer conceal my principles) “I am catholic, that is very important for me.” When I implied that, I was nervous and anxious for his reply. He replied, “Gina, this is also very important to me, I am catholic, I went to catholic school.” My heart dropped with joy! Every day and night we spent hours and hours talking, getting to know each other more, until we decided to become one.

Now that our paths have crossed, I have a different intake of life. A whole different scenario of the universe. Now we have a reason to live. We are now facing our journey together, with our principles. We want to work at being better for each other and our future children, our family, our community, our society, our country, our world.

Life is more rosy now like grandpa told me all along, “good things happen to good people, so don’t you ever give up!” I have asked and I have been given, I have searched for and I have found, I have knocked, and many doors have been opened to me...

Una Mujer Madura

Una Mujer Madura...
January 19, 2015

No provoca, ya es provocante...
No es inteligente, es sabia...
No se insinúa, muestra el camino sutilmente...
No se precipita, espera el momento indicado...
No nada, navega...
No vuela, flota...
No piensa en cantidades, prefiere calidad...
No ve, observa...
No anda, camina...
No es pretenciosa, simplemente se gusta...
No juzga, analiza...
No compara, asimila...
No consuela, entibia el corazón...
No busca, despierta los sentidos...
No coloca cadenas, deja libre...
Porque sabe lo que quiere, cómo lo quiere,
y cuándo lo quiere!!!...

Back in the game

Back in the game
January 18, 2015

I am staring at my computer trying to get my mojo back but it’s gone straying and I can’t seem to get a hold of it. I literally took about two months off. That is so unlike me. Day after day since this long interruption I had this pending task in the back of my mind. Now, even with the lack of motivation, I am at ease within.

Recapitulating November and December in a nut shell...
I painstakingly and anxiously awaited for November to arrive to meet with my now husband (J. V. A.), until I received the senseless news that I would not be able to.
In December I was besieged with doctor’s, dermatologist, acupuncturist, government agency appointments, work and meeting people to give each other our blessings for the upcoming year.

On December 19, some family member’s arrived for the holidays.
On December 24 11:25 p/ m., I picked up my fiancee at the airport.
On December 26, we took the plunge - I don’t want to share pictures of  us because I am not that open about revealing my loved ones for the world to see.
In between Christmas and New Year’s, we were very busy running around, spending time with family.
On January 2nd we left for our honeymoon (the happiest days of my life by far because I was with THE man I was meant to be all along).

On January 10 we got back.
On January 11 my soulmate left and we were both shattered to know that we will be apart for the time being. I am praying for time to go by in a heart beat so we can be together physically.

Earlier this week, it was all about getting caught up with emails, trying to come up with a sales strategy (very challenging because sales is my pet peeve). I had a hard time concentrating because I miss my hubby like crazy!!!

This next week I have to focus and regain my routine. I am looking forward to tackling the challenges lying ahead.

Now that I am slowly integrating my routine, I am ready and very content to putting some time into one of my loves...writing!
