Hi, I am Ana !
I am 29 yrs old and I am from Madrid. You want to
come with me into this marvelous adventure of discovering
the internal world of that seed that grows in the deep
of the land without anybody realizing and suddenly, one day, breaks and bursts open itself to the heat of the
sun...!
Well then, listen to me,
Today, I want to lend my voice to Jesus and tell
the story of this seed in my own life. I want to
share it with you, to you who like great
things and live them up to the extreme... who allow
to get awed at the marvels of nature and discover in the
true love the best happiness for your life... I was a
university young girl, who would
celebrate whatever party, dance all night with my
friends on Fridays ... to know new people... live in my environment
of youthful encounters and share my life... the joy to be
and to feel young and enjoy to the full with my friends.
I was in tune with my music ... would live with
great intensity all what life would offer me, would
desire above all to be happy and that my life would be
worthy... would discover that only I could be happy in
the measure I would give happiness to those who were
around me. But it was a task to be accomplished little by
little. I would always think "
when I finish my course I will be happy and I will
dedicate myself to others ... Everything later, tomorrow...
Today I
realize that it depends on me to be a special person and
live fully today ... really. that it's not
worth it to wait for tomorrow to do what you want
today ... to make someone happy, to be happy
yourself ... to extend a hand... to smile ...
maybe this " tomorrow " may never come and escapes
from the hands of what is " today "
we can do now because while we wait to do it tomorrow, they escape
notice from us the many opportunities to do marvelous things
today.!
I started to listen in my interior a
voice that would repeat: Ana, what do you want to
do with your life...? it was to discover that at
the back of each " to do ", there is "
Someone " that not only needs our " to do ", but
who smiles and loves you... and with insistence would
emerged questions: Ana, what do you want to do
with your life...? Is it worth it what you are
doing...? and how I wanted to reject what I saw
would tell me..." No, this is not for me "... however I
would feel in my interior a great joy... I would
noticed that God strongly made His presence in my life
and that it was not possible to tell Him no. This
he told me: " Now or never " Embark on life!
I embarked myself and today my life is fully
satisfied living my missionary vocation among the poor
of Africa. |
