This morning while I was doing my devotions I came across a very interesting verse.Luke 16:9"I want you to be smart in the same way - but for what is right - using every adversity to stimulate creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you'll live really live, and not complacently just get on by good behavior."I love how The Message phrases this verse. The way I

(From switchfeed.com and Briomagazine.com)Brio magazine's cover this month is Switchfoot! I love this interview! It is amazing the way that Tim and Jon explain things. It once again brings some kind comfort for those Christians who are still not comfortable with them stepping away from the Christian labels. In the past I have to come to have permanent comfort and trust in these guys and God

A lot has happened in my life in the past year. There have been bad moments as well as good moments. But through each and every moment I can say that God proved Himself amazing in my life.I came to realize this when I read one of Jon Foreman's (Switchfoot's frontman) blogs. He mentioned Romans 8 on the blog. I probably had already read that chapter sometime in my life but I decided to take a look

Lately, a lot of things have been confusing for me. I am at a place where I am trying to find myself and find where I really am, what I want to do, what my beliefs and values are, where I stand in society amongst other things. It gets tough sometimes because you think you know something and then find out its a lie or something happens to contradict it. It's in those times when I think of God. He

Today for devotions I prayed in a different way. I wrote a letter to God.Dear God, I haven't talked to you like this in a long time. But let's give it a try. How are you? I'm sure you are feeling a bunch of of emotions at the same time because you deal with everyone in the world at the same time. 7 billion emotions?! Wow! I would never take that. I would explode like Peter Petrelli (Heroes)! But

Listen is a song that I love. It is featured on the movie Dream Girls (with Beyoncé Knowles, Eddie Murphy, Jamie Foxx, Anika Nina Rose, and Jennifer Hudson) and it absolutely describes the situation I am in. I feel like I am not being heard. That my thoughts and opinions don't matter. I feel that I have to do whatever I am told to, to live well, and that my dreams and values are just going to be

Last Friday at our chapel (hosted by our 7th and 8th graders....I'm so proud of you!!!) they talked about being special. Lately I haven't been feeling so special and have been sinking into some sort of depression. I really need to talk to someone but I don't know who to talk to. Meanwhile, God is my refuge and He is my counsellor for now but He said He would find someone for me. I don't know who

In the hard times I remember this:I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and

I would like to share with you the story that practically started a huge change in my life.I was born in Angola and moved to Portugal when I was 3. Growing up in an Angolan household is something that I cherish. The kind of music that I listened to would be african music. Mostly the good 'ol "kizomba" or "kuduru." It was fun. Along with that I would listen to african influenced music like hip hop

Switchfoot finally came out with a new music video! I feel very good about it, and I love it to the fullest. My personal opinion on the video is that even though it doesnt really go along with the message in the song it is perfect for the time that the guys are going through. This new album Oh!Gravity is a new experiment with songs that are completely new and different from anything that they

So I haven't posted in a long while!But now that I am posting I would like to talk about an amazing, amazing, amazing organization called To Write Love On Her Arms.Please support them by buying one of their t-shirts. I still have to figure out a way to get one since its kind of hard to order stuff when they dont ship to your country (Portugal). Well this video explains everything. If you would

In Mere Christianity C. S. Lewis says,If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.As I was reading the chapter on Hope, I found this quote to be very interesting and captivating.We have many desires. We desire food, success, money, friends, and most of all love. So we ask ourselves, "Certainly there

So as all of us know, Switchfoot was on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. This show airs here in Portugal one month late on Sic Mulher (Sic Women...television for women.) When I heard that Switchfoot was going on the Tonight Show I was excited to see them on television! but I had to wait a month. And I did!!! This morning the reruns were going on and Switchfoot played!!!!!! I gotta say that I was

I love this "holiday!"It is my favorite because you spread the cheer of love. Love is something that is so important in my life and is so vital to our everyday lives!That is why Valentine´s Day is my favorite day of the year! People are always surprised as to why my favorite holiday isnt Christmas or Easter or New Year´s , well I like being different and original.So here I am. The only person who

I was at my aunt's house here in Portugal and my mom came to pick me up with a cab. We got on the cab and traveled to the Baixa (Downtown Lisbon.) As we were passing through the main streets, I glanced and saw Jon coming out of the Hard Rock Café Lisbon with Andy Barron and Tod Copper. I suddenly yelled, "Stop the car!" So I got out of the cab and yelled, "Jon!" Jon gave me a big smile and said,

Portugal is going through an important stage right now. On February 11, 2007 the Portuguese will decide whether abortion should be legal or not.I stand for life and for the lives of all those babies that will be killed if we let this monster called abortion to become legal in Portugal. There is a campaign called Não Obrigada that stands for life.Here are the reasons that abortion should stay

Sometimes I feel like everything that I have been taught in life about God is not enough. Like there is something more to God than just what I hear at Sunday school or at church. It's in times like these that God visits me and tells me things that other people would not understand. They wouldn't understand because each experience with God is unique and only God and that person will understand how

In our society there are various individuals with various talents. Whether they are specialized in arts, music, or media, they each have their own views and their own values. Because of this difference in values, many times these talents are each separated into different categories. Music is not an exception. The two biggest music scenes are mainstream and Christian. Those who prefer mainstream

I am so proud of my project (I got an A+!) that I want to share it with the world! Here goes:“Mankind is divided into two sorts: such as live according to man, and such as live according to God. These we call the two cities…The Heavenly City outshines Rome. There, instead of victory is truth.”After the conversion of Constantine, the church was finally growing in the vast empire of Rome.

Just like any other boring day.....I was excited for 10 minutes then the reas of the day drifted by with no excitment.Im tired of living in this boredom. I really feel like leaving Portugal and go somewhere where I belong.Im just so tired of this life right now. Hopefully God will do something sometime.Peace Out

The first few minutes of 2007.....I really wanted them to feel good and festive...but no, all I felt was a sudden sadness because my mother and my sister were fighting again. As I heard their heated conversation I started to wonder wether I should have been born or not...On a day as important as this one, things feel monotonous and very sad. Not only because of a simple fight but because my

As overrated as it may sound, I'm starting a blog. I have tried in past times but in those years I really had nothing to write about because my brain was dead basically. I was blind, I guess. Living by a set of rules, until I found true freedom inside. Sometimes its hard starting out with something new, and when I feel trapped by pressure and people, I let it all out and talk to my Best Friend.
