Likhi’s thoughts

GOD MADE A LITTLE MISTAKE “And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” (Genesis‬ ‭1:31‬). We may say right away no way, how can you say or ask that? Then, why do we make it seem that God makes mistakes? Have you ever looked in the mirror and said; I do not like this or that? I wish I could change this! Why do I have this or don’t I have that? We, little by little, start finding things in our body we do not like; but why? When God said he made us “VERY GOOD”, perfect, beautiful.  Beauty in society is not what beauty is supposed to be, and we have fallen into their ideas. If we think about it, even models don’t like what they see, that’s why they get plastic surgery. “Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: But a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised” (Proverbs‬ ‭31:30)‬. Have you asked yourself, why am I like this? Why am I so skinny or fat? Or, why am I this color? I ha...

  MY FRIEND “ Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (John‬ ‭15:13). Growing up I had friends come and go, especially when I was in elementary school. I remember I never wanted to be in the house because I just wanted to play and spend time with this particular friend. We only had one or two hours to play each day because she was always busy. She helped her mom with their little business in the afternoons so we did not have enough time to play. We grew up together and got very close, we had so much in common. We would play with dolls and make their little clothes. We liked to run so we had races, I always liked to win! We played hide and seek, we talked about everything girls talk about. We always had so much fun! When things got bad in my birth country, my parents had to sell the house and we moved to another town. That was so sad because I knew I was never going to see my friend and true enough I never saw her again. In the new town we m...

  MY FAITH LIKE DRIVING A SEMI “ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah‬ 41:10‬).  For the ones that don’t know what I do for a living, I will tell you. I drive a 48-foot semi, hauling sugar. Sitting behind the wheel on a semi truck feels nice because you can see so much more than when you’re in your car, you even feel taller. I do! I have driven in good and adverse weather: beautiful sunny days, foggy days, thundering days, and my favorite ( just kidding ) snowy days. I enjoy driving when the roads are dry and the days are sunny. I usually start before sunrise; every day is different and beautiful. I love to see the twinkling stars in the early morning, the shooting stars and the color change in the sky; from orange to red burgundy. And that gorgeous blue sky! Every day is an art to remember. I always say to myself, “God really...

                    I AM 18. I SHOULD LEAVE “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis‬ 2:24). This is a very hard topic to talk about because there are many, many reasons why some young adults move before marriage and they have their parents' blessing. I want to share what I think about the ones that leave just "because". No one has to agree, it is just something to think about. Some typical words of an emerging adult;  “I can’t wait to turn eighteen to leave”, “I hated it here”, “I won't listen to this anymore when I’m gone”, “I’m an adult I can do whatever I want”. Why? Why is it that even our children say that? Is it pressure? Is it society? Definitely not Biblical. In my birth country, Guatemala , you won’t typically hear these opinions. I don’t personally remember anyone saying; I can’t wait to leave my parents house! Maybe it’s because we rely ...
