Nos sentimos seguros cuando creemos que Dios nos ama y sostiene nuestras vidas. Cuando no experimentamos esta intimidad con nuestro padre celestial, el mundo entero nos parece un lugar intimidante. Pero cuando caminamos cerca de Dios, sabiendo que él nos cuida, somos capaces de tomar decisiones por fe. Nos volvemos valientes y enfrentamos nuestras batallas […]
Highly sensitive people (HSP) process everything more deeply due to a biologically different nervous system. That’s why they get easily overstimulated and exhausted by too much external (noise, light, etc.) and internal (hunger, pain, etc.) sensory input. Even though being highly sensitive is a normal trait that’s found in 15-20% of the population, those people […]
¿Qué haces cuando Dios parece estar ausente? A veces, me siento en la presencia de Dios y no escucho su voz. Rezo y hago preguntas, pero no escucho nada. Mi primera reacción en estas situaciones es normalmente preguntarme: ¿He hecho algo mal? ¿Está Dios molesto conmigo? ¿Acaso Dios ha dejado de amarme? Rápidamente, cuestiono estos […]
Highly sensitive people (HSP) feel deeply and process information more thoroughly than others. They ‘absorb’ other people’s emotions and have therefore difficulties to distinguish their own feelings.

Society tells us the more we do, the better; visit this social gathering, go to that networking event, and just be busy. Staying home to read? Boring!

I’ve always been the quiet type of kid. No, I was never the loner but always the girl that stuck to 1-2 close friends and did some drawing in the back of the classroom. Even today, I prefer doing calm activities like writing or having a deep conversation with a friend, instead of pursuing some […]
To me, spending time with God is all about my relationship with my heavenly Father. While reading my Bible, I get to know him more. I want to know who God is, what moves him, and what he’s all about. I listen as he gives me fresh revelations, shows me his will, and pours his […]
My life consists of ups and downs. During some weeks and months, I’m thriving and flourishing like well-watered flowers. At other times, challenges are repeatedly knocking on my door and I feel the burden of my problems on my shoulders. There are times when I’m feeling energized and motivated to tackle my daily tasks, while […]
