"Have you ever been scared to share your story?"
I was. For 5 years.
I wanted to make videos but kept finding excuses. Worried about my accent. Scared of judgment. Afraid people wouldn't care.
Here's what I learned: I kept waiting to feel ready. But you don't get ready by waiting. You get ready by doing.
If you're feeling scared to share something, don't invalidate your story. Your experience matters.
Someone out there needs to hear exactly what you've been through.

Your calling is stronger than your comfort. Take the step.

"I failed my driving test twice, but I never told anyone that part 🚗"
It's funny how we share our wins but hide the messy parts that actually make us human.
I used to think protecting my image was more important than being honest. But those failures? They're just part of the story.
We all have moments we're embarrassed about, things we think make us look weak or unprepared. But what if those are exactly the stories that help others feel less alone?
Your value isn't tied to your wins - or even your losses. You're valued as a child of God, beyond any highs and lows. And you have a beautiful story to tell.

Let's be there for each other and share the real stuff.

"You might scrape your knees along the way, but you will make it"
Every time I'm back in Lima, I pass this BMX track that holds one of my biggest childhood lessons.
I was 6 and terrified of those hills. Wanted to control everything - braking too much, steering too much, way too tense.
After a few scraped knees and getting picked back up, I finally learned: stop fighting the speed, trust the process, and know that someone's always there for you.
Now when life feels too fast, I remember that track. Sometimes we want to control everything, but we're not meant to ride alone.
You might feel like you're going too fast, take it one moment at a time. God is with you through it all.
Trust the process. You're not riding alone.

What started as a challenge from people who care about me
made me realize how much accountability matters.
I didn’t need the ideal moment. I just needed to do it.

And to be there for someone else too.
We weren’t made to live as islands.
God created us to show up for each other.

“I think stories are important in our church because stories are important to us as human beings. I was reading a little bit on this and it wasn’t until recently that we became a people of topics - of subjects, of pockets of information. Before, we were people of stories.

We have stories to tell. Our stories are essential parts of us. There are parts of our brains, hormones that are released when you tell a story. I’m not a medical expert, but I know that I feel different when I’m listening to someone else’s story or even telling some of mine. Even as a timid person, sometimes I get so passionate when I’m sharing a story that I can’t stop.

I think one of the biggest needs of the church right now is to provide a platform for people to share their stories. I don’t always know how we can do that and still keep the status quo, but I think people need to feel encouraged and validated. If we let people share their stories we could tear down all of the stereotypes people have about our church. Not just as Seventh-day Adventists, I’m talking about Christians in general. We’re scared to tell our stories. We’re scared to share our struggles. We’re scared to share that we’re weak sometimes, that we’re afraid of things. I think Satan takes advantage of that fear. He makes you feel that you aren’t worthy or that your story is boring. Those are lies I was hearing. Lies I was living. I was thinking, ‘I’m only good enough to be on the other side of the camera, helping things behind the scenes.’ But your life is a platform, and I think we need to empower people no matter their age, their ethnicity, their language - no matter their achievements or defeats - we should give them a platform to share their stories. This is an opportunity to show that we’re human first of all, and that labels can be put on and taken off.”

Estoy seguro de que te ha pasado mĂĄs de una vez:

Que has estado fijĂĄndote en el pasado,
y con mucha nostalgia recordaste que aunque tenĂ­as problemitas la vida era un poco mas sencilla
y extrañabas al menos conformarte con tu vida pasada que con la que estås viviendo ahora.

En el Antiguo Testamento los israelitas pasaron por una similar situaciĂłn.
Estaban an el desierto y muchas veces se quejaban diciendo de que Dios los había puesto en ése lugar y extrañaban y se conformaban con vivir en Egipto.

La situaciĂłn en Egipto no era una situaciĂłn adecuada, ellos eran esclavos, no tenĂ­an libertad.

Cuando Dios te llama del Egipto de tu vida, Él está abriendo el mar Rojo de tu vida, Él te está ofreciendo una oportunidad para ser libre.

QuizĂĄs vas a pasar por desiertos,
QuizĂĄs vas a pasar por situaciones difĂ­ciles,

Pero Dios te estĂĄ encaminando hacia un presente y futuro mejor.

Un futuro y presente CON LIBERTAD.

La Navidad siempre es una hermosa oportunidad para intentar reflexionar en cuán profundo e inexplicable es amor de Dios para ti y para mi.

Tu identidad jamås se define por tu desempeño, por lo que la gente diga de ti, por tu pasado o tus acciones.Tu identidad...

Tu identidad jamås se define por tu desempeño, por lo que la gente diga de ti, por tu pasado o tus acciones.
Tu identidad se definiĂł en el momento que Dios decide crearte cĂłmo hijo, como hija.
No busques “agradar” a Dios con tus acciones, sino vive con libertad de acuerdo a la realidad de que Dios se agrada contigo.
