If I had lost my life, no one would have noticed. I was already part of the Lord’s family, but I had great difficulty in having my needs met and my desires fulfilled. Surrounded by circumstantial difficulties, internal blockages and external barriers, I have always strived to overcome obstacles so that my life was not ‘in vain’. And having made the decision to change the course of my personal life to be guided by Jesus, I followed as much as I could of what I saw as necessary to do so. However, there were too many things wrong and I needed to learn how to live in Love and Power. So, with the aim of going further, I left my country (Portugal) to learn to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, together with other brothers and sisters who believe in what God does through this Love and Power. Looking back a long time, however, I remember how I was protected, warned, already living spiritual experiences, without the understanding I have now. Although I invested myself in becoming the disciple I wanted to be, I couldn’t live in the strength of that Power and Love; in fact, there was that moment when I felt that my life might cease to be on earth, without anyone realizing that it had happened. But there was one key factor: I didn’t want to give up. That attitude, at the moment of greatest weakness and fragility, to the point where I felt no strength in myself, was the decisive point. And I decided to ask my Father – God – to show me His Love and His Power directly. He was already doing it, but I needed more. And I needed to take my part in this, and begin, even without the strength, to collaborate. What I had already learned and the relationship I already had with my Father needed to be renewed and strengthened. So began the impossible challenge of starting again. And what He did was surround me with every form of communication to encourage and guide me. Because of my desire to be a daughter who honors her Father, I wanted to have a radical attitude and I stopped being the same person, talking and believing the same way, dressing changed, attitude changed – everything changed. I stopped agreeing with, and participating in many of the things I used to do, which surprised a lot of people, and I drifted away. When you want to be loyal to what you believe in, depending on whether it’s very well accepted or not, it will make a difference to your life. It’s easier to agree and follow the direction of the majority of people than to take a different path. You have to have confidence in what you choose. I have confidence in what I have chosen for myself, and because I have learned, to the best of my ability, how much this choice affects our lives, I needed to start writing this Blog. There are precious people who feel lost, and God wants: ‘I admonish you, therefore, first of all, that prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings, and for all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty; for this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. Who gave himself a ransom for all, that he might be a testimony in due time.’ I Timothy 2:1-6 ACF Bible online That’s why I expose myself, wishing for the whole world what I wish for myself, because nothing is impossible for God.
