My strength // Minha força

Tradução: (frase)Eu sinto como se eu já estivesse cansada amanhã.(desenho da mulher de roxo) Inquebrável.

The day started slow, slower than usual. Although I’m not telling you this so you can pity me, every once in a while, anybody can have a slow/bad day and feel the way I felt.  How did I feel? I felt like I had no strength left in my body, my heart was heavy. I knew that in a few hours it would pass. It wouldn’t last.  Still, this is no way of waking up. When you sleep, you are supposed to rest your body not feel weaker or more tired. This is my daily lot. Some days are better, but not always. I knelt to pray, and immediately came to my mind this Psalms:
  • I love you Lord, my strength (Psalm 18:1)
  • My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever (Psalm 73:26)
  • The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and He helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song, I praise Him (Psalm 28:7)
  • He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youth grow tired and weary; and young men stumble and fall (Isaiah 40:29 – 30)


I could go on. Today I prayed like that “You Lord is my strength”.
It is good to know that when you feel weak tired or even with no motivation to keep going, be certain, that you will find comfort in His word.
“I can do all this, through Him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:13)

I said to myself today “I can do it. I can get up. I can read. I find my strength not within me (because most days there is none) but in Him. He is the one with who I stand tall every day.

If I can, so can you. There will be days when you will feel down, weak, sad, hopeless. Take heart, Jesus is asking you, “What can I do for you today?”

Let’s pray: Lord, give me strength when I feel I have none. Hold my hand and come with me through this valley I may be in, I can’t do it alone. You are my refuge, my strength, my vision. Stay with me, by my side, all the way. Let me feel your presence, your peace, your strength. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

O dia começou devagar, mais lento que o habitual. Embora eu não esteja dizendo isso para que você possa ter pena de mim, de vez em quando, qualquer pessoa pode ter um dia lento / ruim e sentir como eu me sentia. Como eu me senti? Eu senti como se não tivesse força no meu corpo, meu coração estava pesado. Eu sabia que em poucas horas passaria. Não duraria. Ainda assim, isso não é maneira de acordar. Quando você dorme, você deve descansar seu corpo não se sentir mais fraco ou mais cansado. Este é meu lote diário. Alguns dias são melhores, mas nem sempre.
Ajoelhei-me para orar, e imediatamente veio à minha mente este Salmos:
  • Eu te amo Senhor, minha força (Salmos 18: 1)
  • Minha carne e meu coração podem falhar, mas Deus é a força do meu coração e minha porção para sempre (Salmos 73:26)
  • O Senhor é minha força e meu escudo; meu coração confia nele e me ajuda. Meu coração salta de alegria e, com minha canção, eu O louvo (Salmos 28: 7)
  • Ele dá força ao cansado e aumenta o poder do fraco. Até os jovens ficam cansados e fatigados; e os jovens tropeçam e caem (Isaías 40:29 - 30)


Eu poderia continuar. Hoje eu orei assim: “Tu és a minha força”.
É bom saber que quando você se sentir cansado, fatigado ou mesmo sem motivação para continuar, esteja certo de que encontrará conforto em Sua palavra.
“Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece” (Filipenses 4:13).

Eu disse a mim mesmo hoje: “Eu posso fazer isso. Eu posso levantar. Eu consigo ler. Eu não encontro a minha força dentro de mim (porque na maioria dos dias não há nenhum), mas nele. Ele é aquele com quem eu me ergo todos os dias.

Se eu puder, você também pode. Haverá dias em que você se sentirá fraco, triste, sem esperança. Tome coragem, Jesus está perguntando a você: "O que posso fazer por você hoje?"

Vamos orar: Senhor, me dê força quando sinto que não tenho nenhuma. Segure minha mão e venha comigo através deste vale em que eu possa estar, eu não posso fazer isso sozinho. Você é meu refúgio, minha força, minha visão. Fique comigo, do meu lado, todo o caminho. Deixe-me sentir sua presença, sua paz, sua força. Em nome de Jesus, amém.

I see Grace in the time of the Law // Eu vejo Graça no tempo da Lei

People frequently say that the Old Testament is the time of the law, and now we are under the Grace of God. Surprisingly, I just found out an explicit act of the Grace of God in the Old Testament. As I read chapter 9 of Deuteronomy , in which has a title Not because of Righteousness (ESV). I am stunned to see verses 4 - 6, they say: “ Do not say in your heart , after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘ It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. 5 Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.6 “Know, therefore, that the Lord your God is not giving y...

We are the Winners // Nós somos os vencedores

  The death of my cousin made me think about a few things. Yes, it was a sad thing. So unexpected. It got us all by surprise, which hurt. He was such a nice, joyful, and lively guy or man. He will certainly be missed. What we have here but the present. My mom and my other cousin spoke at the funeral. Yes, we have nothing here. It makes no sense at all to get attached to things of this world when at any moment we might leave it. Our days are numbered, but we don’t know how many we were given. How are you living your days? Sometimes we take it for granted because we are young or have health and may think that we have a whole life ahead of us. But do we really? Some live their lives as if all they have to do is party. As if parties were the most important thing in the world. Fun is part of life, so are sadness, problems and relationships, and hard times. Are we going to take something from this world when we die? I am pretty sure we a...

A message to sons and daughters // Uma mensagem para os filhos e filhas

  In my church, better in San Diego I have this impression that we have a lot of elderly people. They say it is because of the weather. The weather brings retired people to live here. Years ago, at least. Currently, living in Southern California is way too expensive. I bet they are going to Florida, despite the hurricanes. Where am I going with this? I had plans when I moved back to my hometown 11 years ago. I wanted to be closer to my ageing mom. I know my mom. I know that she is not the easy-going person we hoped. She is a person with a hard and sad past. I wanted to be with her. Even knowing that it wouldn’t be a smooth living, I was willing to live with her. I wasn’t expecting to get married. I wasn’t expecting my now-husband to move with me. I thought he was going to choose to stay in São Paulo, or go back to his country, or whatever. But after I told him what my plan was, I said, if he wanted to come with me, it would be nice. But I k...
