I want to give a shout out and huge thank you to Bethany Carson from
Liberty or Death for nominating me for the Liebster Award. This is the first time I do this and basically these awards are a fun way for bloggers to get to know nominated bloggers better through a series of questions.
Bethany"s Questions:
1. If you could have an expenses-paid vacation to anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
This is really hard...I would love to either travel to beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico because it's simply stunning or...Chiapas, Mexico to visit the beautiful land of cascades where my grandmother was born.
2. What would you like to accomplish by the end of 2014?
I really don't know how to answer that...get engaged maybe lol...who knows?...well, God knows, right?
3. If you had a million dollars, how would you use it?
This is literally the million dollar question. There's a ton of stuff I would do. I would, without a doubt, help my parents pay off our house and business, pay to build the church that my parents are praying for, I would buy all the instruments that we still have yet to buy, the equipment needed for a recording studio, pay for my masters degree in rehabilitation, help out my friends who are like family to me, and then...pray for God to show me what to do with the rest.
4. What are your favorite foods?
I'm going to have to go with red Mexican enchiladas, caesar salad, 7-layer dip, cheesy oven-roasted tomatoes, and my Mom's tres leches cake.
5. What are your favorite quotes and Bible verses?
I love this question! I have to many so here's a narrowed down version (it hurt to narrow down lol)
My favorite quotes are:
“When we get a bigger boat from God we need to make sure our anchor grows too. We need to spend more time with God anchoring ourselves in the word.”
—Bill Johnson
“One encounter with God’s love, its all it takes. We are created to respond to His love.” —Kim Walker Smith
My Favorite Bible verses are:
(Isaiah 12:2) Surely the Lord is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation.
(Romans 12:1) And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
(John 4:24) For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”
6. What is the best advice on life you can give in up to 3 sentences?
No matter what you face never doubt these two things: that God loves you and that He always walks right beside you. In every season learn to consult God first and hear His voice so that you won't be swayed by any other. Getting to know God every day is the best thing that could ever happen to you so don't be afraid to stand out because God created you to shine, to be different, by reflecting Him in everything you do.
7. If you could live in any time period, which would you choose?
I know that I was born in a time such as this but if I could, take me back to the time when Jesus walked the earth please!
8. What is your dream car and your dream home?
Something along the lines of a Chevy Equinox with a sunroof would make me faint. When it comes to a house, I've dreamed about this for years: A one-story country house surrounded by large oak tress, with a rose garden, front porch, large yard, and filled with the love of the Lord.
9. What languages can you speak?
English, Spanish, and tounges lol (my favorite church joke)
10. Do you have a current occupation; if not, what would your dream job be?
I've only ever had one job at a Naturopathy clinic but as of now I am a full-time student in the University of Texas-Pan American, majoring in Rehabilitation with a concentration in Addictions Studies. I see myself as a counselor in the near future, helping teens and young adults with behavioral issues know the love of Jesus and the purpose that He has for their lives. God has my dream job already planned out though so that's a big relief.
11. What cause(s) are you most opinionated about?
What "worship" truly means to God
God's supernatural manifestations today
How to truly help people who are going through addictions, abuse, or behavioral problems. Medication only numbs the problem that Jesus can cure.
12. Is there any quality you think the Lord is growing in you right now (e.g., patience, love, trust)?
Oh yes...having joy in Him, delighting in Him, in the wating periods. He's teaching me what patience looks like to Him. Trust goes hand-in-hand with that. This season should be interesting!
