May I borrow your mask… By Karen Lucia Tapia Hernandez Nowadays, it has become customary for us to wear a mask to go out of our homes, we can see them in different colours such as: red, blue, black, grey, with prints or some other design. But it is almost imperative that we wear a mask when we step out of our homes. Something interesting about the use of masks is that someone can smile behind it and no one would notice. However, behind a mask even if someone could be smiling or doing a mean gesture, we would never know, just like when someone is thinking something, we would not be able to tell what is going on in their minds. And even though, someone may act one way, this does not imply that their true intentions are shown. However, what we can do is control our thoughts. Proverbs 4:23 (GNT) 23  Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. How many times have we felt that some people are not truly genuine with us or indeed we have been betra...

Empresta-me tua máscara… Por Karen Lucía Tapia Hernández Nestes tempos há sido costume usar uma máscara para sair fora de casa. Podemos olhar máscaras de todas as cores, vermelhas, azuis, pretas, cinzas, com impressões ou inclusive camuflados, mais quando saímos sempre, quase no modo automático, nós usamos uma máscara. Uma das coisas interessantes das máscaras é que nós podemos sorrir detrás dela e obviamente as pessoas não se dariam conta disso, porque a máscara impede que eles nos vejam sorrir. É assim como nós sorrimos detrás das máscaras ou talvez, alguém fique de cara amarrada, nós não nos daríamos conta do que fazem as outras pessoas.   E é que, algumas atuam duma maneira que não precisam mostram suas verdadeiras intenções, pelo contrário, uma coisa que podemos fazer é controlar nossos pensamentos. Provérbios 4:23 (NTLH) 23  Tenha cuidado com o que você pensa, pois a sua vida é dirigida pelos seus pensamentos. Quantas vezes havemos sentido que algum...

Préstame tu máscara… Por Karen Lucía Tapia Hernández En estos tiempos se nos ha hecho costumbre usar una máscara o mascarilla para salir, podemos ver de todos los colores, rojos, azules, negras, grises, con diseños estampados u otros camuflados, pero la situación es que al salir, nosotros usamos casi en modo automático, una máscara. Una de las cosas interesantes de las máscaras es que nosotros podemos sonreír detrás de ella y obviamente la gente no se daría cuenta, porque la máscara impide que nos vean sonreír. Y así como sonreímos detrás de las máscaras o en caso de que alguna persona nos haga mala cara, nosotros no nos damos cuenta de lo que piensan las otras personas. Y es que algunos actúan de una manera pero no necesariamente te muestran sus verdaderas intenciones, sin embargo, algo que si podemos hacer nosotros es controlar nuestros propios pensamientos. Proverbios 4:23 (PDT) 23 Ante todo, cuida tus pensamientos     porque ellos controlan tu vida. ...

I cannot do this anymore… By Karen Lucia Tapia Hernandez “I cannot do this anymore, this struggle I feel inside of me, the insatiable emptiness, the chest pain, the rejection, the betrayals. I can’t handle it anymore; I want to give up!” These thoughts ran through my head as lightning crashes against my heart, I could feel myself submerged in a deep depression. I wanted to surrender, leave everything behind since I felt nothing was worth going through what I felt. Meanwhile I was crying with my knees on the floor, I sought for a solution that I could not solve by myself, until once in my pain, I plead to God: “If you exist, take this away from me!” And He did... Have we ever felt that way? Thinking that nothing was worth it and that we could just leave everything to go elsewhere. What happens to that time we spend thinking in the emptiness we feel, that we may even feel hatred towards ourselves, feeling like nothing can satisfy that hollowness? What do we do then? It was du...
