Not Knowing Where You Are Going Does Not Mean You Are Going Nowhere

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.—Dale Carnegie,  The other day I was scrolling on Facebook and stumped to a post that one of my friends made, where he wrote, I am where I am because all my plans went wrong. This powerful statement made me think about myself and my plans. is it true that all my plans were a success? Was I able to accomplish everything that I ever planned? Certainly not, like most of us, I had deception, bad experiences, and good experiences in life, but my understanding slightly started to change over the years of how to build plans that are meaningful.


Can you guess where we are going or how we will get there? Most of us have been struggling to figure out how to get from a certain point to another, that’s why we take training, participate in webinars, seminars,   this is not an easy task, especially when there is no progress evident, and there is no such thing called patience.


Control and understanding of life is not something that we will always have, actually in the world that we live this idea that we have everything under control is unreal (2020 taught us about this), life is surreal and does no reveal its full face, that is to say, how do we know if we are making the right decisions, or going to the right direction? I always wonder about these questions that seem complicated to answer, but very important when answered...how to have a glance to a  future that we may not see with humans eyes and even with experiments that science provides us, so how can I answer these questions? When the experience is lacking and the experiments do not resolve.


If you feel that you are lost on your way for your progress, please consider to put your plans in the hand of the one that can not disappoint you or disregard your plans, I am talking about Jesus, but consider to make small plans also, consider three months plan, subdivide this plan into weekly plans, even if the plan for each week is just to read a page of a book, if you follow your weekly plan, at the end of each week you will be able to complete your plan, and after three months you will be able to complete your program.


I like to point out the bible, and because I take the bible as my guide of truth let me state Proverbs 14:12, there is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death. The paths that seem right may offer many offers and require few sacrifices, easy choice however should make us take a second look attractive because it allows me more time to do what I want? Because it doesn't ask me to change my lifestyle? Because it requires no moral restraint?  The right choice often requires courage, hard work,  and self-sacrifice don't be enticed by apparent shortcuts that seem good but end in death.

Kamanga

Nos anos 90 Rey Webba cantou uma música muito engraçada e dançada em Angola, Acredito que todos nos daquela altura ouvimos. " Kamanga" era o título da música. A Musica dizia mais ou menos assim...Há uma pedra valiosa lá nas Lundas em Angola, se lhe tocas ficas rico! Se lhe tocas ficas quente eh! Eh! Kamanga! eh! Eh! Kamanga! Assim cantava Rey Webba nos meus tempos de menino ele cantava que a Kamanga era uma pedra que dá fortuna, que dá “kumbu”. Para muitos Kamanga era uma pedra que da sustento. E que sustento por sinal... Movidos pela música muitos angolanos, estrangeiros afluíam livremente as terras Santas cantadas por Rey Webba (Lundas) em busca da tal pedra valiosa. Alias que te conta meu Tio Antonio Bernardo Salvador, que só lá não ficou mais tempo por causa das enfermidades que lhe apoquentavam e dos inúmeros problemas com as mulheres naquela altura... o facto é que Rey Webba nos meus tempos de menino não falou que para muitos alcançarem a tal Kamanga, a tal fortuna, a ...

How is Your Vision?

How is Your Vision? Hebrews 3:13 ( what is your project for 2019? Do you have goals) The Conversion of Saul (Acts 9: 1-30) When we study the book of the apostles' acts, innumerable horrible stories take our toll, one of them is undoubtedly the death of Stephen, but when we go into detail in this book we also see how the transforming power of God can change man, Saul was one of the persecutors of the church, he had blind eyes, he had his mind secured, maybe Paul was thinking he was doing a great work, killing so-called Christians, maybe Paul was right inside his thoughts at that time, and what he was doing the work of God, let us not forget that Paul was a Doctor of Theology, perhaps he had passed through Gamaliel. Well what this story shows us is how Jesus can transform a blind man, and how we deserve the grace of our God. Paul had to become blind to see, Paul had to undress to unite. The place where you are does not determine your future, the comments of your family heads an...
