I went hiking again today. I saw a ton of great things that could work in my book. I took 2 rolls of film and used them both. I'm not sure if I will use the actual photographs or maybe have them drawn out and then add them to the book. Joe, Stephen's brother, can draw very good. I can't draw at all. Everything I do looks like it was done by a 5 year old.
���� People always seem very skeptical when they know I’m in dental school. I noticed their disbelieve immediately after I tell them what I study. I even told my husband to keep a close look on people's� face when I tell them I’m a dental student, just so he can report to me later. At first , my husband was sure it was my imagination, but he came to realize that peoples expressions were a little off, not to say "shocked".
���� I always considered myself a hardworking person. �I was never an "A" student or a "B” student. I was more the "C" or "D" student. Not because I did not work hard. It was more the opposite to be sincere. I worked so hard; that it was hard to believe I was a C - D student. I came in terms with myself�“I was just not the brightest" I did not see anything wrong with that. Until, when people would call me names like “slow", "stupid" or " God I give up you won't get it". That is when i started to realize that maybe I was a little slower than pretty much everyone in my class.
���� Growing up in Brazil, I had many other things to worry about than school. I grow up with my�dad and grandmother. We were not a rich family; I matter fact my dad struggled to make the ends meet. My mother is American and my dad is Brazilian. I always wondered�what was my mom�thinking when left me in Brazil at the age of three. Now� that I am living here in the United States, I understand perfectly why she did what she did. My mom always want us to have what she never had a " family".
���� My mother left my sister, my brother and myself�the care of our grandmother. My brother was from her first marriage. Now my sister and I were from her second relationship� ... I really don't think I can call that marriage, since she was never married to my father.�
���� My mom left us at a very young age. I remember her vaguely when I was little. I fell like a lot of the emotional struggles I have today were a result of her leaving us. I never blamed her for what she had done. I think it was very brave of her to live all her kids in a search to better their lives. With that being said, I think if wasn't for her living us; I would never be able to get an education here in the states or ever have meet the love of my life. That is why I’m a true�believer that�there is always a reason for why God does what he does.
�� So, here I start the journey of a lifetime. Coming out a poor city from the north of Brazil and ���not know any English at all; At the age of seventeen, I left all I ever had, friends and family to come and live with a women that I� barely knew. I had to learn a new language; new culture, and� a new life.�

Why doesn't anyone question how God can say this: Lev�20:13�"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman,� both of them have committed an abomination: they shall SURELY be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." ... and then not try to understand the 'why'? "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 Homosexuality has spiritual roots.... 1.) Rejection of God as 'Creator' *see Romans 1: 18-28 (note it is a curse) 2.) A root of 'Rejection' For those that feel they were 'born this way'... you were born with the curse passed onto you by the sins of your forefathers... Numbers�14:18�'The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.' God made you wonderful... it's satan and sin that's to blame...James�1:17�"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." ... knowing the 'WHY'... can set your feet on the path to freedom... YES.... say goodbye to homosexuality altogether! 'Deliverance' is a real ministry of Jesus that hasn't 'passed away'... the Word in fact includes it as a sign of how we will know true believers...Mark�16:17, "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils..." Repentance on behalf of the Ancestors + repentance regarding anything you've done in tandem + Deliverance = FREEDOM Deliverance is a crucial last step... it will NOT successfully take place until the curse is broken first. Shut the door of access and THEN kick out the invaders.� -Prayers- Prayer of Repentance: "Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry. I turn away from my past sinful life and cling to YOU. Please forgive me, and help me. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. Thank You for forgiving me, and I also forgive MYSELF. I am ready for the wonderful destiny You have for me.....In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
