“We arrive precissely where we need to arrive
because the hand of God always guides
those who follow their path with faith” even though we may not realise it at the time nor recognise the significance of our journey nor of our destination.

Today I needed to remember that even painful paths may have a purpose and thus it was perhaps the hand of God that led me here to you today.

But I did not answer the question.
I discovered one day, my path was like a house. Not a house I could buy with a pool,and all material things that fits to. But a house I could have a rest when I will get old.
A place, where my family and I could smile about the past; for the better fights as for the worse ones. A solid place. That’s why sometimes I had to see my house falling in uproar or silence: I had to rebuild it. Because the foundations were insecure.
My God help me to recognize so. My God was there, when there were nobody around. She guides me to draw the plans. She is always there. I do forgot her sometimes.
Though she makes me strong, and wiser, advised, lover and astonished, smily, caring, minutious at my work.

So of course we arrive precisely where we need to. Cause we walk on this path of Faith, and have some things to extract from us for the world.
Some people think we’re here by chance, some don’t. What’s the story. I belive we’re here to do things. To change the world. I don’t believe in the thought that the Earth, -our Mother, Gratitude on Her-, is condemned to live the prejudices of a few people, that have a purse instead of the heart.
I’m proud to be a warrior.

When we win or lose a fight, there is always a lesson. And that way we grow. So then, we have other fights, but strong from our new sight. This is then the turn for the following lesson we have to learn.
By the way, your lessons helped me in understanding how to see the world everyday new. Indeed this is not a force I manage to power at each second, but I take it in mind now.

I know I have to consider our chiefs as my brothers, but this is a great lesson I need to be taught now. Maybe the following one.

Blessings.

Faith is a wonderful thing. Faith is life and have been existing since the beginning. Books were not written, that Human beings could find It in their heart.
The only fact some have not, is because they decide It not to let live; not to grow inself.

Nowadays, Faithers can be suspicious. And receives here and there a tag of “sect”. This is a sign of something. But contrary to the fear that’s growing on earth, my faith is getting stronger.
My Faith gives not me wings still, but lighter shoes.

Faith

I think we are each always where we need to be. It is only our conscious awareness and recognition of this reality that changes. God is always with us.

and to those that lose faith he gives opportunities to find it once again, time and time again.

Great quote, very fitting for this point in my journey…

I was traveling through the mountains, at sunset I arrived at a point when it said sunset-point, I looked at the horizen and saw the sun was setting then something inside my heart said I was at the right place at the right time. I remembered you Paulo. You inspired me just the way you inspired my beloved, late sister….

I am currently reading Brida and I love it. “Taking Risks has always been a challenge for me! Let God’s hand lead me the way. ” This book is an inspiration…

Reminds me a bit of Gandalf’s lesson to Frodo from Lord of the Rings. Gandalf says “A wizard is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to.” Haven’t read Brida. Hoping to do so soon.

I follow my path with faith, but I want to ask for your prayers. I give up having a partner in my bussiness… wish me luck, and pray for me.

Have a good day Paulo
