PRECIOUS LIVES

“For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with salvation."

Psalm 149:4

GOD'S PROTECTION

Psalms 18:2

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Jeremiah 16:19

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things where in there is no profit.

HIGHLANDS

It does not matter where you are, but find your "THIN PLACE" to feel the presence of The Lord. The "THIN PLACE" can be your bedroom, in the woodie, in your garden, but also can be in the mountains, up there, very close to him. When I was looking at the hills and the mountains so gorgeous around me...some water running down from the top... the clouds were so close... I thought how small I am, and how God is MAGNIFICENT, ALMIGHTY, HOLY, WORTHY...

Exodus 9

4'You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession."

God chooses us, even when we do not deserve. He is Almighty and we are His treasured possession.

"Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'

But I believe God wants us holy, responsable, obedient and committed to His kingdon.

9 The LORD said to Moses, "I am going to come to you in a dense cloud, so that the people will hear me speaking with you and will always put their trust in you."

Lord comes to us, He chooses the time, the place, and how He wants us.

12 Put limits for the people around the mountain and tell them, 'Be careful that you do not go up the mountain or touch the foot of it.

But there are boundaries, because He is God, The Lord, The Almighty.

18 Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently, 19 and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder.

What a privilege to know that God chose me! Thanks Lord! In Jesus name. Amem

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

"Philippians 2:9-11"

NATURE

“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”-

Philippians 1:6

SCOTLAND THEME PARK

The weather promised to be good for some days, so, why not to take the chance and go to a theme park?

We traveled for about 2 hours to go from Arbroath to M&D's near Glasgow. It really works!!! Roller coaster, white water, swings, some loops, wow, that made my tummy upset, but we were there. What a great day!!! The girls enjoyed it so much that they went on the rides many times.

1 Sing to the LORD a new song,

for he has done marvelous things;

his right hand and his holy arm

have worked salvation for him.

Psalm 98

IT WAS NOT PLANNED

Tuesday, 01st of July 2008.

"Do we go to Stonehaven or Anstruther?"

Nobody could decide, but we went to Anstruther. What a beautiful decision!!! It was warm, sunshine, over 20 degress, and that feeling of ..."WE ARE ON HOLIDAY", and it is not all, we are four...very nice...!!!

Lots of pictures, fish and chips, fish cake, and...of course that delicious ice cream, mango flavour...

A perfect day, and nothing planned at all.

"I will sing of your love and justice; to you, O LORD, I will sing praise. " Psalm 101:1

SUNDAY

This was our very quiet Sunday, like a normal family day. Beautiful sunshine and nothing much to do, just enjoy ourselves, big smiles as you can see here. I worship the Lord for this unforgetable day, so special for me. I have waited for a long time to join all the parts to make this family complete, and it is not done at all. I still have one part in Brazil, and another here in Scotland. Anyway, they are around and in my heart. Love you all!

“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve.”

Jeremiah 17:9-10
