On my Knees!!!

This morning i woke up early just to prepare myself for sunday worship service, it was my turn as  a music leader, well as usual i begin to select some songs that i used to choose and suddenly came to mind this song from Jaci Velasquez untitled  "On my Knees", i couldn't believe it, i've been listen so long time ago this song but i never paid attention to the lyrics, then when i found the lyrics and  begin to check if it goes correctly with the song, i couldn't believe it ... is so amazing, what it says "See I don't know How, but there is power when I'm on my knees"  and for so long i forgot how it feels talk with God ... when I'm on my knees, and i remember my parents when i was in undergraduate program they used to tell me ask God but on your knees, and even once I advice to someone .. just talk with God on your knees, and well for so long haven't  do it well at my lab even sometimes i feel such a depression that well .. i think with so many stuff over me i recognize i begin to forget about to talk with God and ask ... on my Knees ... well now after this long day i think it was a kind of way from God to show me that really need to talk with him .... because just On my  Knees everything will function ... 100% sure that there is power when i'm on my knees!!!.

When all your knowledge is not enough!!!!!

Recently, I've been attending an International Symposium about Environmental Biotechnology, having a really good topics to be discussed, Bio Energy and Bio Remediation, some how both of them are really important around world now days, well the event was hold it in English, and of course as foreigner I feel kind of shy about my poor english, and as same time expect too much about it. 
I remember once one of my professor in undergraduate program told me "is not about how much you know, is about how much you can make understand people about your product" , well I just can say is true, after to listen people with highest degree from Singapore, Poland, Japan, China, Taiwan, i just can say the purpose of a symposium is make discussion about up and downs in our research and find solution, is kind of sharing ideas , and if we just wanna show our knowledge better publish a paper and be happy and proud about it.
After too long days, sharing with people that english is not their tongue mother, as well me, I ask myself  it was really constructive for me????,  the answer is Yes, it was, because i got a lesson about  that what really matters is not how much english you know , or how much knowledge you have about certain topic, or how much advance technology you have in your laboratory, not at all .. research is not about all this, i understand that if you wanna show all the people that you are really smart  you must teach them in their level, because the most complicated you make it , the most difficult that can be discussed.
And yes, my lab-mates also learn something, they must talk to me everyday in english, and stop doing chinese mimics communication,  yes, is funny but is true.
After at all , Is not how bad it was, is about that sometimes people just like to show the best they are, and just  they forgot that they were talking with students and as students we still in process to learn, as the diamond we still trying to be polished.

Having fun being Master Degree Student


Have you ever imagine being a student is too much fun??? have you ever feel like being student is a kind of funny job??? have you ever imagine how much time you spend at school than home??? So many questions are rounding my mind, actually i cannot answer all of them, and is too many questions that everyday i ask myself, indeed, being a student is more that just studies, yes, when you are student at primary school, what did you normally like??? (don't lie) i can read in your eyes, yes i agree with you, go school it was the best time to talk with your friends, and make this kind of cute friends, yes and just talk with them and the most wonderful moment is when you have to go for the break time and just play and play whatever it comes to your mind just play and spend the 15 minutes just playing, then just go back home, i even don't remember if i was studying that hard, when you go junior high school, what you did??? i'm sure that you were having your first crush , some girls were begining to grow up and show up their .. Feminine side, and Boys hhmm i'm sure they were still in their infancy, enjoying the soccer game with friends, while girls trying to get attention from High school boys, yes when you are in High School I'm sure you were begining to have your firs Boy/Girl friend, what days!!! no one really took seriously studies , then what else you did? hhmm some of us we begin to have our first troubles at home, or some of us where beginning to just get dumb hahaha!!!!, ok until high school we live with our friends . .. from infancy and .. some new friends, some left us for other schools, most of them were living nearby our houses, hhmm nice kind of friendship and of course we were having fun , then suddenly we have to go University, such a big step in our life!!!, well actually what i experience is just hhmm i didn't care about studies, (i'm lying of course) yes here is the point where we begin to take seriously our studies, at least in my case is what it happened, we begin to have new friends, hang out with them, of course we already been in parties but not this kind of parties, such awesome for us, but with the only difference that we begin to take responsibility about our own life, well is in the middle of our career when we begin to equilibrate social life, with study life plus sentimental life, because is in this time when we begin to figure it out who will be the one for us, is not more games, no more dolls, no more plastic cars, no more hhmm mummy following us, ok until this point, we begin to take seriously most of the things, then hhmm some of us we decide to continue our studies, if go university is big step, go for Master Degree is really too much (at least in my background is consider Bigger step) but hahahah .. yes i still taking seriously my studies, i'm still working hard, but i cannot decline a invitation to have fun with friends, and i begin to understand that Master is not another step in your career is just simple an application of what you already know, and just make strong all the basics part of what you've already learned, not just at college, what you've learned at school, at home, at street, all of them together, you should know how to have fun without interfering with any of the other aspects that can affect you studies, or social, or personal life, surprisingly , i've just learned how to do all of that, i had a lot fun around in all my master degree but i never involved my studies, so what i can say, hhmm Master Degree is more Fun if you just can equilibrate all your life, and i wonder how is going to be PhD .. imagine?? if i decide to go for PhD i cannot imagine where i'm going to ended up, but for all over the things, I'm really thankful to the one that gave me this life and make me stronger to understand that no matter what i'm must learn to equilibrate my life, and that is how to live life .. hmmm fun is all around just you have to get the chance to don't disturb the equilibrium in your life.
Gotta Go ... Experiment running and .. dinner with friends waiting ..

P.S.
yes the one that i'm talking about is there .. over us .. watching us .. GOD.

Hold on for a minute!!!!

I've been rushing for long time and trying just to full fill my dreams, and becoming a kind of robot person, without thinking,  without feelings, without anything, and one day i just stop all my life, yes , i decide to sit and make kind of reflexion, because suddenly i realize something is missing, something is wrong, what is it???, my life was becoming time wasted, all what i did is just nothing comparing with all what i left behind, and i ask myself if i'm happy with all around me, NO, I'm not happy at all.
All what i had one day is missing, my family, i just have a simple picture of my family, and in my memories is difficult for me remember their faces, because also they told me that they change too much, but cannot forget what they feel for me, that day i remember I was at home, Mama was scolding me just to make me wake up at 6 AM, and Papa was shouting my name, i remember how i used to fight with my Brother, and how difficult was to live with Mama everyday with up and downs in her difficult mood, but as all Mothers lovely taking care of me always, i used to play whit Father almost everyday, good memories, when just got crazy and begging to sing and dance  or simple me sitting watching TV, i really forget how does it feel watch TV!!!!, i used to arrive late home and Mama was always there waiting with my Lunch-Dinner because i couldn't stop for lunch at home , and it felt so good just to lye down my head in my old pillow ... and be wrapped by my parents just to have good sleep and enjoy nighttime  like a baby , i think in every word is falling more than one tear, yes tears, because all the love that i feel for my Family is  too much that my heart is not enough to contain it, and has to fall down in tears.
I miss to be just me, shy and scared, I miss to be crazy and happy at home, I miss to get anger easily, I miss to be.... , like everything every day is a new change in life.
I would like to go back home, and just be there, but i know for sure i will also miss this new life, so ZHEMEBAN!!! (what to do in chinese) can i have both of them together???? i guess as my father used to advice me, when i will grow old and old ... i will realize one day that i'm taking my own decisions, and it's in me the way to live my life, so i think for minute have to old on my busy life, and care for people like my family, and well just share with them like my new life, be happy and enjoy everyday, and if the storm and dark moments come, just be  a support in my family.
Few months more I will take a break and really promise I wanna enjoy with my family , If you read this message, please just pray for me so i can make it home soon.

De regreso al verdadero Amor

Amor, el mundo entero esta plagado de el, cada cancion, cada novela, cada libro, la television, las peliculas, todo lo que nos rodea esta plagado de esta palabra AMOR, pero como es posible que algo tan esencial para nosotros, que ha venido de tiempos tan antiguos, es algo en lo que hemos fallado constantemente , matrimonios fallidos, parejas desechas, mujeres u hombres amargados por fracasos amorosos, Cual es el verdadero AMOR??? Lo has sentido??, Que es lo que realmente quiere Dios para nosotros??, Efesios 5 :1-2 nos habla de ANDAR en AMOR como DIOS nos AMA.
Rob Bell (Nooma) menciona la palabra RAYA (del hebreo) que significa una conexion intima, una amistad verdadera sincera, cuando podes decir a el o ella todo acerca de tu vida, y es algo fundamental para una relacion, la base de una relacion esta fundamentada en la amistad verdadera, sincera. AHAVA es una afeccion profunda, donde tu mente y tu corazon estan totalmente liderados por una emocion que te lleva a un compromiso con esa persona, cuando tu ser desea ser parte de esa persona, cuando hay un verdadero compromiso con el o ella, cuando realmente crees que esa amistad que han tenido lleva como resultado es tener esa conexion de compromiso, que culminara con un DOD que implica el verdadero amor culminando con una verdadera union , lo mas profundo y sagrado, cuando dos llegan a ser uno, cada uno de estos es una pequenha llama de fuego , que juntas producen una mas grande, que hay sobre las parejas actuales que deciden solo tener DOD (sexo) disfrutan apenas de una pequenha llama de fuego, no experimentando asi la completa llama denominada Amor, Dios NO nos ha creado solo para disfrutar parte del Amor, Dios nos ha dado la oportunidad de disfrutar de mucho mas, pero por otro lado las personas que estan casadas que tienen el AHAVA ese compromiso, pero no son amigos lo han olvidado, no comparten no tienen esa comunicacion, conllevando a no tener sexo, que clase de Amor es???, Pregunta : Cuanto es lo minimo requerido de patas para soportar una silla??? Hemos sido creados para tener y vivir un Amor completo no solo parte de ello.
Chip Ingram autor de Love, Sex and lasting Relationships (Amor, Sexo y relaciones duraderas) haciendo un analisis profundo de lo que vive actualmente la iglesia hoy en dia, cuando hollywood se introdujo en nuestras vidas, cuando nos mostro que el amor se trata en encontrar a la persona correcta, en la cual fijaremos nuestros suenhos e ideales, con la enamoraremos y si es que cometemos errores, o simplemente nos equivocamos en escoger la pareja, podemos empezar de nuevo y buscar otra persona correcta, y ahi vamos rotando en la vida tratando de encontrar ese amor verdadero. Pregunta: Como podemos hacer feliz a alguien si nosotros por si mismos no somos felices???. Por que seguir idealizando a nuestra futura pareja , porque no cambiar y llegar a ser ese persona correcta y llegar a estar completos una vez que estemos completos podremos lograr tener una relacion, sin tener que fijar nuestros suenhos o metas en esa persona, si no fijarlos en Dios como pareja , viviendo en Amor y andando en el Amor que Dios nos ha dado, y si es que existiera un error, tratar de solucionarlo como pareja que somos.
EL mundo nos ha corrompido tanto que no nos hemos dado cuenta que hemos vivido tan lejos de ese verdadero Amor, el Verdadero Amor que Dios ha planeado para Nosotros.
