¡Que bueno que estés aquí!
Gracias por estar aquí.
Mi nombre es Aixa Mariely. Soy una mujer puertorriqueña, casada, sencilla y profundamente agradecida con Dios. Disfruto del té, la lectura, el arte en sus múltiples expresiones y la naturaleza. Sobre todo, amo escribir reflexiones cristianas con el deseo de exhortar, animar y acompañar a otros en este caminar como seguidores de Jesucristo.
Hubo una temporada en mi vida en la que Dios me pidió cambiar actitudes, soltar relaciones y transformar mi manera de pensar. Una y otra vez me mostraba que tenía algo nuevo para mí, pero yo seguía aferrándome a lo que había perdido. Lloraba por los cambios que tanto me dolían, sin darme cuenta de que, mientras me enfocaba en lo que dejaba atrás, estaba menospreciando la hermosa obra que Él estaba haciendo en mi corazón y todo lo nuevo que estaba poniendo delante de mí.
For a time God asked me to change attitudes, leave relationships, and change my thoughts. The Lord taught me over and over again that He had something new for me, but I kept complaining and crying for all the changes I had to make that hurt me. I did not realize what God was working on me, the great lack and contempt that I was committing towards Him and everything new in my life.
The name of this blog is inspired by the book of the Bible called Numbers (Chapter 11), the people of God, having witnessed great wonders and being close to receiving the promised land, focused on what they were used to, the slavery of the last, so much so that they cried and complained: " How we miss the fish that we ate for free in Egypt! We also ate cucumbers and melons, and leeks, onions and garlic!" (Numbers 11: 5) The complaint flooded their lives, while they lost the power to enjoy and admire the amazing miracle of receiving bread from heaven to survive that journey.
One morning I woke up with an urgent desire to hear the Word of God, that morning I was surprised that God used three people to give me the same words: "You do not enter the promised land with an onion mentality", and although it seemed funny the phrase, its meaning was profound for me, because in those days I had been praying for specific things to God and also asking him for a name for this blog because the one that I had for more than five years had been erased with all its content. Also in those days I had been studying the scriptures and precisely I stopped to reflect on that absurd complaint about the onions, so those words caught my attention. God was warning me that new things would be happening for me and that it warranted a change in my thinking.
.
Then a meaning emerged for me. The "onion mentality" is one that does not accept changes, it is a mentality that feels comfortable in the past, in misery, in slavery and in the lies that the enemy wants to invent. To have an "onion mind" is to allow doubt to dominate faith. To receive the promises of God, we cannot remain as we have always been, a change of mentality has to arise, a change of attitude. And if you are reading this it is not by chance, God has many new things for you and does not want you to have this kind of mentality that limits you.
.
This blog is for believers in Jesus and challenges you to change your perspective to accept the new of God for your life.
