It started with one store and the search for a doll ...
I do not know if it's easy or difficult to dispose of some things of the past, but I know it hurts. I saw my life pass between teddy bears, dolls and music boxes in my cupboard. There, I cried (not ashamed of it) and thanked the Lord for mercy and His faithfulness in my life all these years. I figured that getting rid of some things would be easy. But, my parents used to save many things about me ... They kept up my exams and primary activities of the second series! My parents were (my father and my mother was still is) my true fans. You know, I think if they could, would keep all my respect. I remember they kept my first tooth (as they valued the simple things in life !)... If I could take these memories with me to all parts of the world, certainly, I would. But it's great to see the Lord's faithfulness in my life and the lives of my parents, even without being able to take all this with me everywhere I go ... I confess that I write this post so thrilled with the gifts of the Lord in my life. I was very happy with my parents in my childhood, my adolescence and now with my mom.
Recently, my grandmother told me about the desire that my great-grandmother, mother, my grandmother must have a doll. Now she wants a doll anyway! Haha! So I took my best doll and one that had saved ... It stays the same! Brand new! I arranged all the dolls, I improved some things that were destroyed because of the time and now I'm waiting for my grandmother returning from trip to present her with the doll! She'll be happy too! Uhulll! LOL
As my grandmother, my mother's mother, will present her with a table that my dad gave me that was painted by hand. He is very special to me as well as all the gifts my father gave me. But that picture is gorgeous! I present her with him.
With this arrangement, God taught me that everything has its time. And we need to use it as intensely as we can. I was anxious that some promises of God and some situations that are beyond my control, I realized that everything has its time. And how good is being a child ... toys, party, chocolate, candy ... This is how we must live. Free, happy and trusting that our God will give us everything we need.
Before concluding, I mean that there are some things I'll try to take with me wherever I go. One is the Bible study of my father. I want my generation knows the bible of a great man of God that changed his sphere of influence through the love of people, no one wants to have well-known name on television. I also want to take my music box (a bunny kisses the face of her boyfriend rabbit as the hours pass and play soft music), photos ... And if you can, I bring with me two little book of stories! I remember telling my mother every day and the story of Little Red Riding Hood Cinderla every day! Haha! And when she finished the story, I said, "Mom says again." When I was already asleep, I listened to my father's voice or the sound of it at home ... So I ran over my mother's (she lay with me telling stories) and ran to see my father. Haha! So there went all the effort from my mother to put me to sleep! Hahahaha!
Well, I'm very happy because today I am 22 years and even today I see the mercies of God on my life. Thank you, Lord. Thou art a God of history and now I understand why you said: "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." Thou art the God of the generations. Thou art the Lord of History.
Chris.

It's very interesting how they're curious. They want to know about everything and everyone and at the same time do not care so much like us adults. They are also very easy target in the hands of Satan and so we are always advising and teaching them the best choices that a young Christian should take. Always try to teach in their language and always bringing the day-to-day, after all, the gospel is not outdated but it's something we have to develop every day. The gospel is alive!
In fact, it began to bother people around me and also my friends. I remember I only approach people who had committed to God. Sometimes or another, I tried to go back to living with a group of teenagers from my church and sometimes wanted to be like them, walk and dress like them. But time passed and I realized that God wanted to use me as an instrument and from there I started to want to look more like Jesus. Often go wrong, errors teenager who lives worrying about what your group of friends going about their attitudes. But was I really was walking in the opposite direction. And I no longer accepted by most to be like before all I wanted (and many times, I confess, I tried to go back to being a carefree teenager with the things of God, for my change bothered by myself!).
