"O' You of Little Faith"

You know there has been some AMAZING things happening in our  ministry with Give Her Wings.

If u don't know what this ministry is l about please check us out at 

www.giveherwings.com

Our Team/ Organization runs with about 10 volunteers that do this out of the goodness of their hearts. We are all with different backgrounds and all place a pivotal part in this growing Minsitry. 

I currently sit on the Board and also am the Financial Director and is amazing to see how God moves on the inside, especially when it comes to numbers. There is really not a perfect "Number Formula" when it comes of the Spirit of God moving Through his people... my friends it just happens, simple as that! 

My heart is so thankful and I know    The GHW's team feel the same for all the love that is pour out from all of you into the Mamas we support. You are being a part of God's Movement in our ministry !!! 

This morning I shared a little bit of     A message that came to my mind In regards of the amazing movement God has made in this ministry to our team and I wanted to share part of it with all of you.

I know that, If there is ONE and ONE only thing I have LEARN through these last 5 years is To Never, Never Cut God short of his capabilities.

I have trust God wholehearted in my life because I have seen His spirit at work Moving... We can be in the negative and go way above and Beyond in a HOT second. We all might get discouraged at some point because we are humans, but I love when God chooses to let me Witness His amazing power.

I never, ever DARE to doubt or Cut him Short of the plan He has for blessings and even challenges! 

I love the parable of Jesus walking on the water... And I have heard it at least 3 times on these past few weeks...

And while discussing it with a few bible groups it has given me even a greater insight on exercising and reaching Ultimate Faith in my own Life......

Matthew 14:27-32

When the fisherman were afraid seeing Jesus walking on Water. Jesus reassure to them by saying: "Take COURAGE, It is I, Don't Be afraid"

Then in verse 28 Peter kind of "challenged" Jesus by telling Him "If it's you, tell me to come in the water"... So He did and when Peter got out of the boat and starts walking towards Him

He saw the wind and kind of FREAKED OUT.. Lol!

And started to sink and Jesus extended His hand and help him back into the boat and told him...:" You of Little Faith, why did you doubt?"

This reminded me that often times we kind of challenge God and when He shows up BIG we sometimes want to roll into a ball and not come out because we don't know how to deal with it... Lol! yes... His Power is so amazing that it can be overwhelming, but as God said don't doubt... We might not know it, but He has equip us already to handle the MOVEMENT of this POWER!!!!!

I don't know why I'm sharing this, but for some reason it kind of turned into my devotion this morning and thought of how God has moved in the last few days with power in our ministry.

Often times we cry out to God and cry out and when God moves like a rocket, or shakes and Rock a Few BOATS we sometimes tend to PANIC. And this parable remind us to never  Doubt or Cut Him short of His power.

I always and constantly Pray for this ministry to Explode and I can feel God Moving Us into that direction!!!

I have prayed the last few weeks because with life and routines we tend to feel as if God is way up there, far away.. But I'm smiling because seeing Him, moving and working through this, it reminded me that God is Always Near... So Near that sometimes when we are aware we can feel His whole presence so Heavy in us!!!!

💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I'm taking all of this in and I'm asking for you my friends to stand continuously in support and prayer for this amazing Ministry that God is carrying in His hands! 

I cannot help but to have a twinkle in my eyes and a smile on my face for the good things he is doing!!! 

And I know God is not even close to be DONE here!!

So please keep SHARING!!!!!!!!!!

Muah! Besos!!!

Expect a Blessing,Victory, deeper Strength and an Overabundance!

Good morning!!!!

As I sit here on Jury Duty waiting, not knowing what to do with myself, because I don't remember the last time I was just sitting still in a room with Nothing to do... Lol!

We are always so busy that it feels weird sometimes to just sit.

And so after getting caught up on all of my emails, sending responses to messages, etc...

I decided to continue to read a book I brought from home. And As I'm starting to turn the pages to search the last page I was since last time.. I re read a sweet message that my Mother wrote to me, and it became my devotion for this morning and I wanted to share with you. 

She send me this book as a Mother's Day gift and as I flip into the first page of the book a hand written note from her was included

Which her words exactly translated were:

"Mari,

For each problem EXPECT

a Blessing....

For each fight EXPECT 

a Victory....

For each disappointment EXPECT

a deeper Strength....

For each necessity EXPECT

an Overabundance....

Remain loyal to your Faith only and never forget that you have an Angel by your side, you are Never Alone.... God is with You! 

I love you daughter!"

She also included a Verse Proverbs 31:10 "

And as I'm sitting her reflecting on these words, I can't help but think how grateful I am for my Mother to reminding me and filling me these past years with the Love, Hope and Peace that only God can bring into our Hearts....

I pray that you go onto your week with a new belief that no matter what you are facing and how hard of a mountain climb you have going on... God already has provided you with the equipment to surpass it All... And  as you go on and press forward with Him, I pray that you can  recognize the amazing ways in which He is Shaping you!!! 💕💕

Much Love from this Diva to you!!!

Muah! Besos!! 💋💋💋

Gracias MADRE!!!! Te amoooo!!! 💕💕💕💕❤️💋💋

I Loved You ENOUGH

#HealingWordsFromMySoul

I Loved You ENOUGH

I loved you enough until you broke me. I loved you enough to the point of forgetting who I was. 

I loved you enough until I stopped honoring myself, to become the person you wanted me to be. I loved you enough to the point of loosing any sense of self-compassion, to the point of losing my self esteem. I loved you enough until my heart was desperately screaming for Peace. 

But in the midst of all that love in despair, loving you enough taught me that when you pour love in the wrong places, you will always find emptiness and you will always forget to be fair.

And through it all, my heart was shattered, but I was humbled enough to realize God was the only one able to mend every single piece back together. And even though my heart will never be the same, I can stand firm on God's precious grace, knowing how valuable my broken journey has been for the good use and purpose of His Kingdom!

A Good Good Father.....

NEVER.....EVER.....FORGET!!!

Have this verse stuck in my head from last night sermon... 

So much depth and truth my Spirit is hanging on right now from this powerful word!! 

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are NOT WORTHY to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us"-

-Romans 8:18

"Because your LOVE is better than LIFE, my lips will glorify you."-- Psalm 63:3

I woke up today.. Thanking Him... So thankful that in the midst of my Biggest struggles now years later having the chance to "glance" back and realizing that God has been good even through my toughest times and even though Life will never be perfect and recognizing that there will always be struggles, there is always a DIFFERENCE in how you can overcome those struggles coming up Victorious when we decide to FIX our Eyes on Jesus!!!!

He is a "Good Good Father... That's who He is, and We are LOVED By Him... That's Who We are"

Muah! Besos!!

Take Heart & Keep Pushing

It has been such a busy weekend in between kiddos, school orientation, getting everything ready for the school starting this week, church meetings, serving responsibilities I have.. Etc..

Just between last night and today I had a tight schedule between serving, and meetings for upcoming projects I will be a part of and other serving opportunities I have. 

And well... as I was drafting this new "single moms" group that I decided to lead at our very own church (( which I decided to pursue upon much prayer)) 

A little thought of guilt came to mind... I thought: " Gosh, I hope my kids have been ok today because we have been just "hopping a little all over the place" 

Knowing that truthfully, I give my kids plenty of quality time. 

But as moms we tend to plant a little seed of doubt from time to time.

And well, a little bit into my drafting and putting thoughts and ideas together my Little E comes up to me and right behind him was little diva.

 Without me even mentioning anything he says ((while looking at the things I'm typing)) :

"Mommy, is that part of the meeting we just went?!" Me: "Yes, it is and I am almost done"

He goes: " You know Mom, I think all of this is amazing, I LIKE All the things that you are doing to Help others." 

Me... At this point about to tear up, but the smile on my face was super wide, I said: " I am so glad you think that".... He quickly interrupted me and says: " Yes, I LIKE all of It, having you as my mom and seeing all the things you are doing.... You went to Africa to help people, you help at my school and at church, you also Help so Many Mamas with "Give Her Wings" and Now you are trying to start a Single Moms group to help other moms like you in here.. I'm happy you do all these things and I think all of it is amazing"...

❤️💕 my heart melted💕💕 and 

I just gave that child a tight hug... 

God sure finds a way to encourage Me daily!

Friends, I don't know why I am writing and sharing this... But perhaps we all need a Little reminder that through our busyness while pursuing our hearts desires, goals and meaningful fruitful things... The time and energy spend at the end of the day it will matter. You are not ONLY making a difference in your community BUT you are also making a difference at HOME with Your actions.

At the end of the day Kids will learn more about life by the Type of "movement" you are Causing in your own life and community!

To my single moms...

"Single parent mothers who aren't spending their time looking for a man but spending their time providing for their children are the most admirable people on earth"

Be inspired. Your #1 fans will be your kids.

#TakeHeart  & #KeepPushing 

And if you are a single mother in my are or you know of any single momma out there.. Message me or give her my info.. We are launching our Life Groups at Highland Park Church the week of Sept 13th

I will be next weekend in between services assisting people Signing UP!!!! 

Muah!!!!

"Shalom"

These past few months have been  very "trial" for me. 

A few life unexpected changes have come into place, along side dealing with some matters of my heart. 

And a conversation with my mom a month ago made me do a little more "soul searching".... 

She said: "daughter, you need to remain in Peace, and pray for peace, but not just peace, but that "Shalom" Peace. That perfect peace".. And she just left it at that... ((she does this quite often.. She Says something then leave it "hanging")) so, of course, I have done a little research about that Hebrew word.. "Shalom" to get to its depth of meaning, and to really soul search and find ways to apply it into my current situation in life. 

I feel that life is a constant trial, but I want to get a hold of each moment, even the tough ones. To make sure that I also change and grow through the process. That after the "test" at least I can come up a different person/woman, with a different perspective and a stronger character, ready for the next step of my life!!! 

Went out tonight with some beautiful women.....we sat around for hours and while talking and spending time getting to know them, I felt "Shalom" ALL over me!!!!

And I just got home smiling really Wide!!!! 

And so I decided to "record" this moment...... So that I may remember one day! 

And I wanted to share with you the CORE of what I have found about "Shalom" (Peace) in my life!!!..... 

******✨💫

"Hebrew words go beyond their spoken pronunciation. Each Hebrew word conveys feeling, intent and emotion. Shalom is more then just simply peace; it is a complete peace. It is a feeling of contentment, completeness, wholeness, well being and harmony.

According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the absence of agitation or discord. Shalom comes from the root verb shalom meaning to be complete, perfect and full. In modern Hebrew the obviously related word Shelem means to pay for, and Shulam means to be fully paid.

Of course, there is only one way to find TRUE shalom - and that is in the Word of God. 

Many search for fulfillment, happiness and contentment in material possessions, money, sex, entertainment, etc. But those things do nothing to fill "that little hole in our soul" that only GOD can fill! Those things only serve to distract and prevent us from finding true peace...the shalom that can only come from Him who created and put all things into place."✨💫******

And YES indeed!!! God put all things into place, even in times when we are not able to see it!!!!! 

Muah!!! Xoxoxo! Besos!! 💖💗💋

💖💗💖Te amo Madre!!! 💗💖💗

Last night I hesitated.......

It's one of those nights. ;-) 

Those nights when I just sit down with a cup of tea to ponder and write.

Decided to share of one my entries of my very personal journal. 

But before I do, I wanted to share some

Of my favorites writing quotes:

"Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation."-Graham Greene-

"If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water."

And that's the beauty of writing, it is not required to give everything, the beauty lies right at the borderline of the amount of details one choose to expose. The magic lies in the little mystery of the message. ;-) 

Writing brings healing (at least to me it does) not only to the writer, but to the one reading it too. And the best part is 

we (the writers) get to keep that small fraction of the story deep within our heart, just for ourselves. 

Now, this one right here is one of those moments when you surprisingly meet someone wonderful and special, but for different reasons (timing, distance, stubbornness, life, etc..) things sometimes don't workout the way you want them to be. Is about the struggle of trying to find that balance in between keeping to nurture that friendship while healing the heartbreak. --It might not make any sense to some of you, but it does to me-- <3

So here it goes... A little piece of my personal journal that I hold very close to my heart! ....Enjoy!.....

Last night I hesitated.....

Last night I hesitated. Just like every other night, I hesitate to reach out to you.

I don't know why it happens, but I still think of you constantly. 

I don't know why I still miss you, when I've talked myself over and over again about all the reasons why I need to take you out of my heart. 

And so last night I hesitated. Just like every other night, I hesitate to reach out to you.

I do know why but I try to keep it hidden deep within my heart.

I try to look for excuses to hate you, but I have none. 

I try to erase the mark you have left in my heart, but my heart is not immune to the special imprint that you possess within me.

And after knowing all that.....

Last night I still hesitated. Just like every other night, I hesitate to reach out to you.

I know why it happens and even though a little less, I do know why I still think of you.

I know why I still miss you, even after looking for countless reasons to take you out of my heart.

I hesitate because I have offer to be part of your life and all I get is silence.

I hesitate because if I am your rock like you always say, then nothing can push us away and all I get is distance.

I hesitate because even though I love you and think the world of you, I am a solid woman that needs to keep her DIGNITY. 

I hesitate because if you really want me to be the rock in your life, then you wouldn't be so stubborn and you would make a way to be in it.

And well, I will continue to hesitate every other night, because my heart wants to keep LOVING you.

I will hesitate because I don't want to grow pieces of bitterness within me. 

And I figured if you really want to be in my life....if you really want my presence in your heart, not only would you reach OUT without hesitation, but your presence in my life would have been unquestionable. 

                               Sincerely, 

                                               Me. 

                                 --Marisabel Matta-

That is All!
