From Day 349 to Day 352

 

I’ve been spending some days here with friends that is like family… Last time I came here it was 17 years ago and I fell in love with it… And I’ve been wanting to come back ever since…

Day 352 – Remembering…

“I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name.” Psalms 91:14

//

Day 351 – Sunrise by the river

“Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies.” Psalm 148:4

//

Day 350 – Dramatic sky

“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.” Psalms 25:4

//

Day 349 – Sunset by the Araguaia River

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 22:37

Day 337 – The bright morning star

“We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.” 2 Peter 1:19

(Early post today. I woke up around 5am and I looked outside and the sun was rising. Too bad the tall buildings were covering it but I got to see the morning star and the dramatic clouds again!)

 

Day 300 – Gorgeous sunrise

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13

(I always have this expectation when I go to the beach. I take the bus there and I always look for the moment where I can see it from far away. Today it was just way to gorgeous… The combination of orange, yellow and blue was just perfect… Today was definitely worthy waking up early and taking some time at one of my favorite places maybe for the last time…)

 

Day 281 – Dreams come true

“It is pleasant to see dreams come true…” Proverbs 13:19a

(Well, it is! I always wanted to fly a balloon… I always thought of them as “magical”… We I decided to go back to Brazil I knew that this dream would have to come true here… So, I schedule the flight for like a month ago but it was raining and I could only reschedule for today. A friend of mine went with me and she was so scared, I was so tired and the forecast was showing rain and I must confess that I was accepting that fact that this dream would not come true… I had to call the pilot last night to confirm the flight and he said that the conditions were great… So, I woke up very early because we were about 40 min away and it was the sunrise flight but I was so discouraged and I pray to God something like show me i you want this to happen… Then I opened an daily devotional and the first thing I read is: “Dreams come true” and Proverbs 16:1. Well… I have no doubt that God wanted me to experience this… not only the amazing views, watching the sun rise from a higher level, feeling so serene and listening to the sound of the silence… but most of all, I think that He wanted me to know that dreams come true… And I needed the hear that… By the way, I had used Proverbs 16:1 before and I choose this other verse. Also, if you want to experience an surreal, serene, awe experience, go on an balloon flight!)

 

Day 233 – Today’s sunrise

“His coming is as brilliant as the sunrise. Rays of light flash from his hands, where his awesome power is hidden.” Habakkuk 3:4

 

Day 127 – Peace and Hope

Color and Theme Project: Week 1 – Color: Purple – Theme: Guilt

I claim this scripture to overcome guilt:

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Romans 5:1

(Early post today. Woke up early to see the sunrise and what a privilege… I hope there is enough purple in the picture… I think so, do you?

This is one of my favorite places… I love this pier… He knew I needed to be there.

Is almost time to hit the road back home… and I glad I’ll go with this in my heart!)

Day 117 – Morning walk…

“You hear my voice in the morning; at sunrise I offer my prayer and wait for your answer.” Psalms 5:3

Day 110 – Morning call…

“Then call on me when you are in trouble, and I will rescue you, and you will give me glory.” Psalm 50:15

(The ocean for me shows so much of God’s strength and power… One of my favorite places to go to talk to Him…)

Day 83 – A new heart

“I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.” Jeremiah 24:7

(Early post today! I just couldn’t wait to post this picture. I’ve been wanting to go to the beach for weeks… So I was determined to go today before I would do anything else. I’m glad I did! What a wonderful God! Have a blessed day!!!)
