I'm not a big fan of rappers, but I wanted to share this freestyle from Cassidy's album release event. I admire how much he knows about the bible & most of all how he's not afraid to tell everyone = ]
God bless !
Enjoying my life, my love, my friends, my world, one snap at a time. Welcome to Nilsa E's scrapbook. ♥

I didn't get a hippo for Chrisrmas, but I got a lot of cool presents = ] Don't forget about the real meaning of CHRISTmas, that wouldnt be cool. Hope buying presents wasn't the main thing this season. Enjoy your time with the family and don't go crazy spending all that money, cause at the end presents can break, but love will stay until the end.
God bless !

I want to share
Hi Nilsa.
If you haven't seen the movie "Bruce Almighty", starring Jim Carrey, I suggest you go rent a DVD.
I vividly remember a scene from the movie was the attempt of the main character to be God. Trying to answer all the prayers and so tired doing so, just said Yes to every prayer request and messed up the lives of many.
In a devotional today, it's about us attempting to be God. Read on and may you be blessed by it.
In Him,
Jon Orana

ONLY GOD IS GOD
by Neil Anderson
Genesis 3:4, 5
The serpent said . . . "you will be like God, knowing good and evil"
Adam was the first to be tempted by the notion that he could "be like God" (Genesis 3:5), which is the essence of the self-centered worldview that Satan promotes. Millions have been seduced by Satan into believing that they are God. The New Age Movement is promoting this lie on a grand and international scale.
However, the biblical account of creation clearly establishes that only God the Creator is truly God. Adam and his ancestors are not gods; we are created beings which cannot exist apart from God. The diabolical idea that man is his own god is the primary link in the chain of spiritual bondage to the kingdom of darkness.
The problem with man's attempt at being his own god is that he was never designed to occupy that role. He lacks the necessary attributes to determine his own destiny. Even sinless, spiritually alive Adam in the Garden of Eden before the Fall wasn't equipped to be his own god. Contrary to what the New Agers tell us, the potential to be a god never was in you, isn't in you now, and never will be in you. Being God is God's capacity alone.
If you desire to live in freedom from the bondage of the world, the flesh and the devil, this primary link in the chain must be renounced. The self-centered worldview which Satan and his emissaries are promoting must be replaced by the perspective that Jesus introduced to His disciples in the wake of Peter's self-preserving rebuke in Matthew 16: "If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it" (verses 24, 25). In the next several days, we will examine the view from the cross.
Prayer:
Father, forgive me for the occasions when I have usurped Your place in my life. You are my Lord and my God.

That's the view from my driveway = ]. Today has been a nice day. I feel very rested, although i still need to finish cleaning my room. But my boyfriend ordered pizza (i ordered, he paid) and we're going to watch movies and eat. He's just waiting for me to finish this post lol.
I'll be back later...maybe.
God bless !

'The weather outside is weather'
Providence, RI-
There's no school tomorrow,Friday. Something about a potential snow storm and all. The great thing is I still get paid. I'm thankful for working for the school department. It was Tom Brady's idea to cancel classes tomorrow. Really, that's our superintendent's name, I'm not talking about the guy from the Patriots. Anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about a lot of snow for tomorrow and Saturday. We're expecting over 12 inches. Snow is good the first 2 days, but then it gets all ugly and dirty lol. I might wanna go shopping tomorrow, but it all depends on how bad it is outside. But then I might wanna stay home alllllllll day, sleeping and watching tv and all = ]
I'll keep you posted lol.
God Bless !!
A powerful thing !
Smile. It can do a lot. That's all I have to say for now. Also remember that doing something nice for someone else will always give you a rewarding feeling = ]

Not coincidence
I was going through the pictures from the concert and found this special one. It shows the lyrics of that song I couldnt (and didnt try to) get out of my head after that night = ].
Friday, December 12, 2008
Did you know?
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name,
he gave the right to become children of God."
--JOHN 1:12
It's ugly outside, but again, some of us might actually like a lot of rain. Let's just try to stay dry and keep a good mood. There's way too many things worse then a rainy couple of days = ]
God bless !

5 minutes
I hate being late for work...they make the hugest deal out if it, wow! I don't go crying to the supervisors when I have to stay here way past 3:30 doing work... That's the type of things I gotta put up with when the people around me have no knowledge of the love of God, or at least act that way.
Anyway, I'm still in (physical) pain, but I get to go home and rest until practice later. Church's music group-practice that is = ]. Then my boyfriend gets out of work (kind of late, though), but a little is better than nothing, right?
God blessssss !
Spanish Christmas !
We had passes to go watch it last night. First, we went to the wrong place. Then when we got to the right one, it was senior wednesday ! The theatre smelled like diapers =/ Seriously...
Anyway, go watch this movie. It's funny, sweet, has its sad moments, pretty much the whole package. I love Chritsmas moviesssss !

'Do Not Worry'
'But seek first the kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well'
--Matthew 6:33
Beautiful. That has been one of my favorite verses for a long, long time.
I was able to get my car doors locks fixed today...FOR FREE! I feel bad for the mechanic guy that got yelled at by a sooped older mechanic that thinks he knows it all lol. Poor guy = / I hate it when nice people get yelled at for no reason. Anyway, Im signing off early tonight. After Marichuy & Robot Chicken, I'm off to bed hoping to knock right away. Goodnight & God bless !

Be happyyyy !
The mean lady we all work for won't be in for the whole week, maybe the rest of the year. God bless her and keep her in a good mood, so she won't be all miserable and make us feel all miserable. So there's a reason to be happy: un-cool bosses out of work for a while lol.
I'll be posting my daily bible verse later on from home, sDq = ]
God bless !
Bed time = ]
'In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety'
-Psalm 4:8
Had a great night with my boyfriend, even though (once again) we couldn't watch that movie I've been trying to watch, cause (once again) I left it in the car and was too lazy to go back and get it. But anyway, it's late now & I have to be at work at 8 tomorrow...ugh! Have a great night (whoever's reading this...if any lol) and God bless !

What better way to post this beat...
...that was made for me = ] I love it ! and I, for some reason, like that picture a lot lol.
Dance, Dance, Dance
'Y yo proclamare tu grandeza y tu poder, anunciare con mi vida que tu eres el rey. Y omo el cielo y las estrellas, portador de tu gloria sere'
-Alejandro Del Bosque -- "Portador de Tu Gloria"
I heard that song (probably) for the first time last Friday at the concert. It's still in my head and I am not complaining = ]
There's a picture up there of the dance team from church, at one of the rehearsals. The peformance came out real good actually, praise the LORD ! Now 2 famouse artist in the Christian community want us to work on choreography for their next performances. Yayy!
God bless !

Love is ♥
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Let's see if this time I can commit to keeping a journal. Maybe I'll do more picture- posting than the actual writing. I just hope I don't get bored lol.
God bless !
