2010 you were bittersweet...

To break it down here is a summary of the year 2010.

The first six months were a journey,i felt that God molded my character to the fullest. This year I felt so secure and confident,and I am thankful for that. I experienced few trials but those few have helped me develop such a thick skin. No doubt that when God calls you and you respond, you work nonstop! I enjoy every second of his supernatural presence and his spirit causes me to surrender my pride. The biggest impact on me this year has actually been that confidence God gave me. Because of it, I was able to help someone come closer to him. That is my passion ,seeing newcomers and those who once left his path come close to him. God has also granted me with great serenity and peace and that has helped me make decisions for my future. Due to the fact that this was such a memorable year, its also inspired me to make the future years twice as great. I'm aiming for greatness! He has qualified me enough to help anyone in need. Come January 1,2011 I will be more ready than ever,with my armor and shield, he has strengthened me to do so.

If anyone is,reading this who does not know Jesus and would like to find yourself through him, all you need to do is accept and believe he can save you. Anyone is able to have a fresh start! God arms are wide open,he is most certainly eager to love and cater as I am sure he already,has been starting to or has been already. Believe in yourself,you are destined to be somebody and nothing is impossible through Christ!


Ephesians 3:8 (The Message) 7-8 This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all the details. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no background in God's way, I was the least qualified of any of the available Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it had nothing to do with my natural abilities. 8-10 And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!

Much love to any readers out there, hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas and hope everyone enjoys their New Years!

Love , Jaz

i will exalt you,you are my God...

My hiding place.

When in a situation at times i admit to feeling emotional, down right sad at times, frustrated and confused on how to deal with certain issues.

When in my hiding place i feel warmth and a sense of understanding comes over me. A feeling that overpowers all flesh, all fear and thoughts that I shouldn't be dealing with.

Gods love accentuates all aspects of my life, he as the annointed one appoints me of why i am feeling this way. I treasure my Lord always, and believe in the most holy through any time, even through hardship. He is my safe refuge.

“The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness....:" Exodus 34:6


I trust in you Lord,
Jaz.

like a fire..

First off to any readers out there do not misinterpret what I'm saying...i tend to type whatever is on my mind. :)

I was reading the book of Joshua today and I was very inspired.I was realizing how often times God sends us out to do a special task that we too often run away from what he has planned for us. We get wrapped in a "schedule" or "Routine".

You can be so involved at a church or overwhelmed with being in the midst of activities, but still be STUCK. We as humans at times lack passion.At times we aren't being the examples we should be. When God shares his plans he has for you, he shows you in ways you can understand never will he confuse you. He wants to get us all to a certain point.

Here is when distractions come into the picture but Do not be discouraged. There is a way to cut off distractions,whether its music, television, sometimes even people or yourself...clear your mind of all doubt! Going back to the issue of being soooo involved in the church we loose the point and become in love with "the church" instead of God. In order to get where God wants you to be, you've got to connect with God. Even if you are dealing with any type of issue, know that God will bring you out he holds the keys to what your going through.
Faith comes in handy at all times. Your faith in GOD overpowers any obstacle! To any readers who are in the state of mind that you feel you are stuck or have no way out, BE ENCOURAGED! Nothing is impossible for God or for you, when you have him by your side.

Mi Dios es santo!

1am, Crying on my knees to my dear Lord. When God calls,drop what your doing and listen to his voice. When one decides to rely on his own instincts it conflicts with the will of God, what does he have to say? One thing i tend to do when making a decision is asking God... "What is it that you want me to do Lord? Often times, we become so occupied by our surroundings and routines that we tend to forget what our calling is.I do not know if anyone reads this,but if you are i encourage you to always remember that we as humans might not always receive good, but a praise should remain in our heart. A burning passion to do his will. It will get rough but ,stand your ground his ways are perfect. Just as his word says ; Psalm 139:14 (New International Version)

14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

I cherish the moments when i feel the warmth of God's love. I can always feel him face to face.

Let everything i do be for you and because of your will...i love you my God.

Permita todo lo que soy para ti y a causa de tu voluntad...te adoro mi Dios.

the beginning of something great...

I am sitting down by my window watching the rain drops fall...
Oh how beautiful the creation of the Lord is.

It has been a while since San Diego has had a rainy season...i love it! :)
Today was a day to reminisce on my future plans. I grabbed a notepad and pen and began to list what it is i want to do in life. At my eighteen years of age, i feel as if i haven't done anything. I NEED TO DO SOMETHING , before i go crazy LOL!!

It was a productive day none the less, rearranged my closet, took winter clothes out and left some summer clothes just in case this crazy San Diego weather changes once again as it has before! :) I updated my ipod and added Christmas tunes...my fave time of the yeaaaaaaaaar!!! I also wrote and finished a couple of songs i had in notebooks!

Overall, a boring day turned into a productive day....I STILL LOVE THE RAIN,

^___^

Not a day goes by that I don't long to see his face! It feels great to be living the blessed life. My goal that I constantly strive for is to use the annointing he places and impact lives, so that others may witness his love and his power! God has an orderly purpose for everything behind every situation that occurs there is an understanding that I ponder, which is Peace. My prayer is that I never get to the point in my life that it becomes a "boring routine"...the other day at my local youth's bible study we had a special guest ..our CO-Pastor Bobby Dominguez said something that impacted me.. "Practice Christianity,not "churchianity" ".
Living my life Devoted to God is a challenge certainly not an easy one but with everything i have i dedicate to him. Sacrifice oveR stubborness...those barriers have been torn down. Comittment to the almighty who reigns over everything. Forever i will stand by him, forever i will run to him, and forever will i remain in his path.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.
Love God and love one another.

Simple thought i am ponderding on...

led me to these verses...


"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."John 13:34

By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:35

"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." Ephesians 4:2


Oh the power of love!!!

I LOVE THIS SONG :) Enjoy!

wow hello blogspot ,

I am so happy to re-open my blog, its been about 6 months since my last entry. It's about time i decide to type something other than facebook,twitter or youtube.

Within these past since months a lot has happened in my life. I am now an official Adult i recently turned 18 this weekend. I am a highschool graduate ,and now registered to start college. I am a Manager of an amazing Contemporary-rock worship Band called REMEDY.

It's the beginning of my adult life I can say.Although i can say that at this young age i've felt that God has offically confirmed certain callings in my life. All my dreams,prayers and hopes have been uprising and becoming reality.

Throughout this year i have learned so much from my God, he has taught me about LOVE,PASSION,JUSTICE,and overall patience. This whole year i've been so patient and sensitive to his voice i am definetly eager to start what God has planned for me.

I've also written a few songs...one of them being a sort of reflection of me. I will soon post that as well.

Short & Sweet but this time I PROMISE TO UPDATE MY BLOG.

Blessings ya'll!
- Jazapo.

Ps... i will be providing a bible verse i study about each week, here is my first verse i have studied.


Bible verse to meditate on this week:



19 A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid a man who talks too much. Proverbs 20:19 (New International Version)

2010 and beyond

Its the beginning of an amazing revelation. i cannot wait to live out what the Lord planned out for me in 2010 and beyond. He truly has a plan for everything! i really do refer to this verse when it comes to waiting on the Lord.

Jeremiah 1:5 (The Message)

5"Before I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day,
I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations—
that's what I had in mind for you."

Lets see whats next...

oh yeah...Happy New Year ya'll!!! <3

love Jaz.
