When I take a break from doing work on my laptop, I have a time of prayer and worship with God, and if I can't talk it out, I transcribe it into notes or chats. | Cuando me tomo un descanso de trabajar en mi laptop, tengo un tiempo de oración y adoración con Dios, y si no puedo hablarlo, lo transcribo en notas o chats. |

Dear Diary,
sorry if it's been a long time since I wrote to you, but today I have a Dad who not only reads me; he listens to me and also answers me..... and he loves me too.
Father, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.... I cannot hold back tears at the sight of your many kindnesses, you have surrounded me and have been my comfort and strength. Oh how beautiful are your thoughts to me, if I were to try to count them, they multiply. Such knowledge is too much for me.
My day concludes but you continue in my life; You know my tomorrow, and I can trust you.
Today as I heard Mom's voice, I was grateful that she heeded my plea in the notes I left her last night, as I have no phone to set alarm:
-Mom please wake me up as soon as you get up, I went to bed tired and must get up early to study.
A note stuck on the coffee, another on the bathroom mirror and another on the sewing machine. I was hoping that God would move my heart to get up and not trust my biological clock, as it has been very upset lately.
-Thank you for this new dawn in my life Lord.
It has been more than a week since I had my early coffee, hot and pure to awaken all my senses. A severe stomach ache hit me last week and since then I have not been able to follow my normal diet. The weight went down, the stitch is still in the pit of my stomach and I keep telling him to stop getting excited and stay calm.
-Sir, you know the concern when I see the weight go down along with the hemoglobin, keep my health and that each food contributes to the well being of my organism.
With this event, I have had some stress that has generated tension in my neck again. So I try not to go back on the progress I made with the physiotherapy on my spine.
By 7 o'clock I was ready to leave for my first class of the day, Labor Law; with research ready and a flash analysis to discuss in class. Well, the first discussion was with my mom before leaving, all because of my 'irresponsibility' for not taking out the money for my ticket late yesterday, to which I responded with a: relax, I'll solve; which upset her a lot, when she has told me before to learn to solve, and that's what I try to do. What she did not remember was that the day before I arrived late from my university, which is completely isolated from the center and the banks, with the rain; and falling the night, I cleaned the kitchen and I made her a cake that she asked me to make for a sharing that she had today.
And that's how lately I am 'the irresponsible young girl in my house, who only studies and doesn't take care of herself'. Words that brought down my countenance. Comments that have been a little difficult for me. Anyone who doesn't experience college doesn't understand it, especially if I had to see classes in 4 different and distant places.
I hope she can see my effort.
I left for the university. The day was already looking gray.
Father please, I need to get the money to go to college. I want to do my best today.
I had half an hour to get to class, and there I was, unable to make the advance for the cash for my ticket, the time started to pass and I was walking faster to my destination. There were only 5 minutes left, I still had a long way to walk, and they denied me the cash again in a bakery, I left a little disappointed. After getting up early to study, I would be late and would not be there for the discussion.
But you are attentive to our voice, and you showed your attention to me again:
Please Lord, help me with the cash. I begged as I walked fast.
then a customer in the bakery shouted:
girl.
And when I turned around, it was me:
-How much do you need,> she asked me.
+Amiga just a ticket to get to the university right now, then I get the rest.
To which she answered me:
-I'll give it to you, let's go quickly, my house is nearby.
I left immediately with her. I had a lump in my throat... Finally she ended up giving me two tickets and went back to the kitchen, she didn't give me a chance to thank her properly, but I decided to give her the money back tomorrow with a Word.
I rushed to the nearest bus stop and managed to get there, a little past the hour but in time to discuss the subject and hear the class. I couldn't help but think about what had happened.
And that's when I see you, Father, in every detail you are attentive to me.
Maybe for her it was only two passages, but for me it meant a lot on this day, in this week, in my heart and in my mind.
From this point on, I had a crazy day. I finished a class, then researched at a classmate's house, printed guides, took out cash; then my friend Omarlys gave me lunch before we left at noon for another class. And after 4 long hours of trying to understand advanced accounting 2, there was a flood of water that hit the whole city:
-Run, Omarlys, here comes a bus. Thank goodness, thank you Father. And please see to it that our houses are not flooded.... *Lord, you said it well, the test of faith produces patience. Thank you for the bus, the fare, the food, the classes, thank you Dad.
And after 2 hours stuck in the heavy rain, I swam home. Thank goodness I had been able to put my bag under my oversize shirt, the guides I had printed and my notebooks, everything was dry.
Thank you Father for getting me home safely.
And after a good bath, you finally feel that the day's workload is off your body. Sleepy now, but it's time to continue with the Human Resources work.
What a satisfaction to have accomplished everything during the day and to see you working in me.
I was actually planning to share with my Ladies of Hive friends yesterday with another story and perspective. But you have changed everything today.
And when I remember my day, I can't help but get my heart so small. Seeing your hand in the details of my days show me that you are always there. In the moment of my sadness, in the moment when I feel misunderstood, in the moment when my strength fails, in the moment of my brokenness, of my health, of my need, or of my abundance. You are always, always there. And I don't want to forget it. Dad, thank you for being attentive to my voice at night and responding with your kindnesses. I meditate on them and find comfort and peace. And it is your peace, peace that passes all understanding, that I need now more than ever. You know well how I feel, but you remind me that I am no longer an orphan, that I have your Spirit and your Daughter I Am. That I am loved, forgiven, cared for and guided by you. Continue to make me your work, continue to discipline me. Thank you DAD for listening to me, you are always there.

Querido Diario,
disculpa si hace mucho no te escribo, pero hoy tengo a un Papá que no solo me lee; él me escucha y también me responde... y también me ama.
Padre, gracias, gracias, gracias... No puedo contener las lágrimas al ver tus muchas bondades, me has rodeado y has sido mi consuelo y fortaleza. Oh cuan hermosos son tus pensamientos hacia mí, si tratase de contarlos, se multiplican. Tal conocimiento es demasiado para mí.
Concluye mi día pero tú continuas en mi vida; conoces mi mañana, y puedo confiar en ti.
Hoy al oir la voz de mamá, agradecí que haya atendido mi ruego en las notas que le deje anoche, ya que no tengo teléfono para colocar alarma:
-Mamá por favor levantame en lo que te levantes, me acosté cansada y debo madrugar para estudiar.
Una nota pegada en el cafe, otra en el espejo del baño y otra en la maquina de coser. Esperaba que Dios le moviera el corazón para levantarme y no se confiara de mi reloj biológico, ya que ha estado bien alterado últimamente.
-Gracias por ese nuevo amanecer en mi vida Señor.
Ya va más de una semana que no me tomo mi café tempranero, purito y caliente para despertar todos mis sentidos. Un fuerte dolor de estómago me azotó la semana pasada y desde entonces no he podido llevar la dieta que normalmente llevaba. El peso bajó, la puntada sigue en la boca del estómago y yo le sigo diciendo que deje de exaltarse y se quede tranquilo.
-Señor, sabes la inquietud cuando veo el peso bajar junto con la hemoglobina, guarda mi salud y que cada alimento contribuya al bienestar de mi organismo.
Con este suceso, he tenido cierto estrés que me ha generado tensión nuevamente en la cervical. Así que trato de no retroceder lo que avancé con la fisioterapia en mi columna.
A las 7 ya estaba lista para salir a mi primera clase del día, Derecho laboral; con la investigación lista y un análisis flash para discutir en la clase. Bueno, la primera discusión fue con mi mamá antes de salir, todo por mi ´írresponsabilidad´ al no sacar el dinero para mi pasaje ayer tarde, a lo que respondí con un: tranquila, yo resuelvo; lo cual le disgustó mucho, cuando ella me ha dicho antes que aprenda a resolver, y es lo que trato. Lo que ella no recordaba fue que el día anterior llegue tarde de mi universidad que queda completamente aislada del centro y los bancos, con la lluvia; y cayendo la noche, limpie la cocina y le hice una torta que me pidió que hiciera para un compartir que ella tenía hoy.
Y así es como últimamente soy ´la jóven irresponsable en mi casa, que solo estudia y no vela por si misma´. Palabras que hicieron decaer mi semblante. Comentarios que han sido un poco difíciles para mí. Quien no experimenta la universidad no lo comprende, sobre todo si tuviera que ver clases en 4 lugares diferentes y distantes.
Espero que ella pueda ver mi esfuerzo.
Salí rumbo a la universidad. Ya el día pintaba gris.
Padre por favor, necesito sacar el dinero para ir a la universidad. Hoy quiero dar lo mejor de mí.
Tenía media hora para llegar a clases, y ahí estaba, sin poder hacer el avance para el efectivo de mi pasaje, se me empezó a pasar la hora y yo caminaba más rápido a mi destino. Solo restaban 5 minutos, aún me faltaba mucho por caminar, y me volvieron a negar el efectivo en una panadería, salí un poco decepcionada. Luego de madrugar para estudiar, llegaría tarde y no estaría para la discusión.
Pero tu estás atento a nuestra voz, y volviste a mostrarme tu atención:
Por favor Señor, ayúdame con el efectivo.- rogaba mientras caminaba rápido.
entonces una clienta en la panadería gritó:
-chica.
Y cuando volteé, si era conmigo:
-Cuánto necesitas, me preguntó.
+Amiga solo un pasaje para llegar a la universidad ahorita, luego yo consigo el resto.
A lo que me respondió:
-Yo te lo doy, vamos rápido, mi casa está cerca.
Salí inmediatamente con ella. Se me hizo un nudo en la garganta… Finalmente terminó dándome para dos pasajes y regresó rápido a la cocina, no me dió chance de agradecerle como corresponde, pero resolví regresarle mañana el dinero con una Palabra.
Salí rápido a la parada más próxima y logré llegar, un poco pasada la hora pero a tiempo para discutir el tema y oir la clase. No pude evitar pensar en lo sucedido.
Y es ahí cuando te veo, Padre, en cada detalle estás al pendiente de mi.
Tal vez para ella solo fueron dos pasajes, pero para mi significó muchísimo en este día, en esta semana, en mi corazón y en mi mente.
Desde este punto, pasé un día de locos. Termine una clase, luego investigar en casa de una compañera, imprimir guias, sacar efectivo; luego mi amiga Omarlys me brindó el almuerzo antes de irnos al medio dia a la otra clase. Y luego de 4 horas extensas tratando de entender contabilidad avanzada 2, cayó un palo de agua que inundó toda la ciudad:
-Corre oma, ahí viene un autobus. Menos mal, gracias Padre. Y por favor, cuida que nuestras casas no se inunden... Señor bien has dicho, la prueba de la fe produce paciencia. Gracias por el autobús, el pasaje, la comida, las clases, gracias Papá.
Y luego de 2 horas estancada entre la fuerte lluvia, llegue nadando a mi casa. Gracias a Dios había podido resguardar mi bolso debajo de mi camisota oversize, las guías que imprimí y mis cuadernos, todo estaba sequito.
Gracias Padre por traerme con bien.
Y luego de un buen baño, finalmente sientes que te quitas el trajin de todo el día del cuerpo. Ahorita pega el sueño, pero toca seguir con el trabajo de Recursos Humanos.
-Qué satisfacción haber logrado todo en el día y verte obrando en mi.
Yo a la verdad pensaba compartir con mis amigas de Ladies of Hive el día de ayer con otro relato y perspectiva. Pero todo lo has cambiado hoy.
Y es que al recordar mi día, no puedo evitar que se me ponga chiquito el corazón. Ver tu mano en los detalles de mis dias me muestran que siempre estas ahí. En el momento de mi tristeza, en el momento que me siento incomprendida, en el momento en que fallan mis fuerzas, en el momento de mi quebranto, de mi salud, de mi necesidad, o de mi abundancia. Siempre, siempre estas ahí. Y no quiero olvidarlo. Papá, gracias por estar atento a mi voz en las noches y responder con tus bondades. Medito en ellas y hallo consuelo y paz. Y es tu paz, paz que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, la que ahora necesito más que nunca. Bien sabes cómo me siento, pero me recuerdas que ya no soy huérfana, que tengo a tu Espíritu y tu Hija Soy. Que soy amada, perdonada, cuidada y guiada por tí. Continua haciendo de mi tu obra, sigue disciplinándome. Gracias PAPÁ por escucharme, siempre estás ahí.
