Colecciona momentos não coisas.

Collect moments not things.



Amor é... o que precisas exactamente para começar o teu dia.


Se não entendes o meu silêncio, como é que vais entender as minhas palavras?

If you don't understand my silence, how will you understand my words?

Nesta espantosa fotografia, vemos o lago de lava no Monte Nyiragongo, um vulcão activo dentro do Parque Nacional de Virunga, na República Democrática do Congo. O vulcão entrou em erupção pelo menos 34 vezes desde 1882, criando vários lagos de lava de diferentes tamanhos que têm formado crateras, e as drenado e alterado. A imagem acima (tirada em 2011) mostra a mais recente interacção do lago de lava da montanha. Ela foi formada a partir de uma erupção de 2002.

In this amazing photo we see the lava lake at Mount Nyiragongo, an active stratovolcano inside Virunga National Park, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The volcano has erupted at least 34 times since 1882, creating various-sized lava lakes that have formed, cratered, drained and reformed. The image above (taken in 2011) shows the most recent iteration of the mountain’s lava lake. It was formed from a 2002 eruption.

As Pessoas Mais Ricas # The Richest People


Nunca te contentes com objectivos em segunda mão ou egoístas. Define metas para ti mesmo que envolve ajudar outras pessoas; as riquezas virão a seguir. As pessoas mais ricas que conheço são aquelas que se entregaram desinteressadamente a outras pessoas. Tal motivação, afectará a maneira como vendemos, cozinhamos, ensinamos ou lidamos com o nosso negócio particular. As verdadeiras riquezas, é claro, não estão relacionadas em nada com o dinheiro ou a recompensa material. Na verdade, se uma pessoa ganhou dinheiro sem ajudar as pessoas, o seu dinheiro não vai comprar-lhe felicidade. ~ Lucas 6:38

 #

Never settle for second-rate or selfish goals. Set goals for yourself that involve helping other people; the riches will follow. The richest people I know are those who have given themselves unselfishly to other people. Such motivation will affect the way you sell, cook, teach or ply your particular trade. True riches, of course, are totally unrelated to money or material reward. In fact, if a person has earned money without helping people, his money will not buy him happiness. ~ Luke 6:38

Kari Jobe - Find You On My Knees ... ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫


Troubles chasing me again,
Breaking down my best defence,
I'm looking, God, I'm looking for You
Weary just won't let me rest and fear is filling up my head.
I'm longing, God I'm longing for You

But I will find You in the place I'm in, find You when I'm at my end,
Find You when there's nothing left of me to offer You except for brokenness.
You lift me up, You'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find You on my knees.

So what if sorrow shakes my faith,
What if heartache still remains,
I'll trust You, my God I'll trust You.
'Cause You are faithful and

I will find You in the place I'm in, find You when I'm at my end,
Find You when there's nothing left of me to offer You except for brokenness.
You lift me up, You'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching
I'll find You on my knees, my knees.

When my hope is gone, when the fear is strong
When the pain is real, when it's hard to heal
When my faith is shaken and my heart is broken and my joy is stolen, God I know that

You lift me up, You'll never leave me 
thirsty,

Find You in the place I'm in, find You when I'm at my end,
Find You when there's nothing left of me to offer You except for brokenness.
You lift me up, You'll never leave me thirsty,
When I am weak, when I am lost and searching

I'll find You on my knees.

Precisamos de Comunhão e Relacionamentos # We Need Fellowships and Relationships


Se quisermos conhecer companheirismo e amizade, tem que haver um compromisso para com a comunhão como um todo, e tem que haver uma prontidão para identificar-nos individualmente com as pessoas para o nosso bem e para o delas. Para o teu bem e o meu, precisamos de amizades. Precisamos de comunhão e relacionamentos. E eles não acontecem por apenas entrarmos na igreja e sentarmos no meio das pessoas e, em seguida, voltarmos para casa. Estas amizades acontecem quando há um compromisso com o grupo como um todo, e quando nos envolvermos em situações em que podemos começar a cultivar relações mais pessoais, mais íntimas. ~ I Pedro 1:22

 #

If we are to know fellowship and friendship, there has to be a commitment to the fellowship as a whole, and there has to be a readiness to identify individually with people for our good and for theirs. For your good and mine, we need friendships. We need fellowships and relationships. And they don't happen by just coming into church and sitting among the people and then going back home. These friendships happen when there is commitment to the group as a whole, and when we get ourselves into situations where we can begin to nurture more personal, more intimate relationships. ~ I Peter 1:22

Skógafoss é um dos mais famosos (e visitados) cascatas da Islândia. Localizada no rio Skoga, Skógafoss é uma das maiores quedas de água do país, com uma largura de 25 metros (82 pés) e uma queda de 60 m (200 pés). Devido à quantidade de borrifos de água que a cascata produz de forma consistente, um arco-íris simples ou duplo é normalmente visível em dias de sol.

As Palavras Deixam A Tua Boca # Words Leave Your Mouth


As palavras deixam a tua boca, o teu teclado, mas as palavras nunca expirarão silenciosamente num vazio, elas irão explodir sempre nos corações.

Cada verbo que proferes provoca uma acção correspondente, um movimento, em cada ouvinte.

Mede as tuas palavras, elas determinam a distância dos teus relacionamentos.

Digita uma actualização do estado no Facebook e poderá ser radioactivo para sempre. Não te deixes enganar pelo teu teclado: a Internet não tem um botão para apagar. As imagens poderão fazer com que as tuas palavras tenham uma meia-vida de eternidade. Os meios de comunicação social são exactamente isso, social. Vai criar um impacto social em ti durante o tempo que fores um membro da sociedade.

Um tweet pode ser o último tictac na bomba que detona a tua vida.

Fala devagar. As palavras que saem sem pensar muitas vezes dão bofetadas.

Ouve-me, percebe, nunca te esqueças disto: A língua é a cauda do coração. O coração é conhecido pela forma como a língua abana.

~ Provérbios 21:23; Tiago 1:26; 3:5-10

 #

Words leave your mouth, your keyboard, but words don’t ever expire quietly in a void, they always explode in hearts.

Every verb you utter causes a corresponding action, a movement, in every listener.

Measure your words, they determine the distance of your relationships.

Type up a Facebook status update and it can be radioactive forever. Don’t be fooled by your keyboard: the Internet doesn’t have a delete button. Screenshots can make your words have a half life of eternity. Social media is exactly that, social. It impacts you socially for as long as you are a member of society.

One tweet can be the last tick in the bomb that detonates your life.

Speak slow. Off-the-cuff words too often slap.

Hear me, get this, don’t ever forget this: The tongue is the tail of the heart. The heart is known by how the tongue wags.

~ Proverbs 21:23; James 1:26; 3:5-10

Nicholas & Veruschka - No Ordinary Man ... ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫



Lying helpless on the street without hope and all alone.
A man walked up to me and I could see he felt my sadness like his own.
Then he reached out to me and softly said, You're healed, and I could stand.
As he looked at me there was compassion in his eyes like I had never seen.
There must be more to Him that I did not understand, for he seemed more than just an ordinary man.
I wondered who this man could be.
That He would care so much for me.

I don't understand why there was so much compassion in this man.
He saw me in my need and He reached out his healing hands to me.

His bleeding body brusied and weak, they saw Him stumble to the ground.
Trembling He tried to stand amidst the angry voices in the crowd.
I just could not understand, was this not the Man who had touched me with His healing hands.
And I though how can this be, what had he done to endure such suffering?
There was more to Him that I did not understand for He was more than just an ordinary man
The Son of God see my true need:

He had come to die for me.
Now I realize why there was so much compassion in His eyes.
He cared enough for me that He would die to heal my soul eternally.

And as they laid Him on the cross.
He stretched out His arms so willingly.
And they nailed down the hands that had reached out to me.

Now I realize why there was so much compassion in His eyes.
He cared enough for me that He would die to heal my soul eternally.
Die to heal my soul eternally.

As I watched Him hanging there, He turned His head and looked down at me.
He saw me the same as I first had seen.

Amor é... o que pode virar o teu mundo de pernas para o ar.


Uns dizem "eu te amo". Outros amam.

Some say "I love you". Others love.

Amizade # Friendship


Na tua vida deves ter sempre algumas pessoas que nutres e que te dão um pouco ou nada de volta. Também deves ter pessoas que te nutrem, mas a quem tu nada dás de volta. Um terceiro tipo de relacionamento é a partilha repartida. Isto é amizade. Todas as três categorias são importantes, mas não nos referimos às duas primeiras como amizades. A primeira delas é o teu ministério para com outra pessoa, a segunda categoria é o ministério de alguém para ti. Somente a terceira, a partilha repartida, é a verdadeira amizade. ~ Provérbios 18:24

 #

In your life you should always have some people whom you nourish and who return a little or nothing to you. You should also have people who nourish you, but you may return nothing to them. A third kind of relationship is equal sharing. This is friendship. All three categories are important, but don't refer to the first two as friendships. The first one is your ministry to someone else, the second type is someone's ministry to you. Only the third, equal sharing, is true friendship. ~ Proverbs 18:24

Big Daddy Weave - Redeemed ... ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫


Seems like all I could see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son
Stop fighting a fight it's already been won"

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed, I'm redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"
I remember, oh God, You're not done with me yet

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, now I'm not who I used to be

Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name, a new life, I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, 'cause I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off these heavy chains
Wipe away every stain, yeah, I'm not who I used to be
Oh, God, I'm not who I used to be
Jesus, I'm not who I used to be

Thank God, redeemed

Ver As Coisas Com Os Seus Olhos # Look At Things With His Eyes


O que foi que atraiu os homens a Jesus? Sim, Ele falou com autoridade e fez obras miraculosas e maravilhosas, mas acho que a única coisa que os homens não podiam ignorar era a compaixão e amor que vinha do Seu coração e no Seu rosto e nas Suas palavras e acções. Se permanecemos n’Ele como Ele permanece em nós, começamos a ver as coisas de forma diferente. Começamos a ver as coisas com os Seus olhos. ~ Colossenses 3:12

 #

What was it that drew men to Jesus? Yes, He spoke with authority and He did miraculous and wonderful deeds, but I think the one thing that men could not ignore was the compassion and love that came from His heart and on to His face and into His words and deeds. If we abide in Him as He abides in us, we begin to see things differently. We begin to look at things with His eyes. ~ Colossians 3:12

Na Quietude # In the Stillness



O silêncio é o espaço onde o som pode existir. A quietude é o espaço em que a vida vem à vida.

Se ouvires apenas os sons, apenas o ruído, há muita coisa que vais perder. Ouve também o silêncio, o espaço entre os sons.

Ouve o silêncio, e o que vais ouvir são as ilimitadas possibilidades. Experimenta o silêncio, e vais descobrir como te sentes ao estar plenamente consciente.

É óptimo quando a vida está cheia de sons, cores, actividade e excitação. É ainda melhor quando toda essa actividade da vida baseia-se no verdadeiro e significativo propósito.

No silêncio consegues ouvir esse significado. Na quietude consegues conhecer esse propósito.

Cria um lugar em cada dia para a pacífica quietude. Pois é o lugar onde tudo o que é possível toma forma.

Salmos 46:10

 #

Silence is the space in which sound can exist. Stillness is the space in which life comes to life.

If you listen only to the sounds, only to the noise, there is much that you will miss. Listen also to the silence, to the space between the sounds.

Listen to the silence, and what you’ll hear are the limitless possibilities. Experience the stillness, and you’ll discover how it feels to be fully aware.

It’s great when life is filled with sounds, colors, activity and excitement. It’s even better when all that activity of living is grounded in real and meaningful purpose.

In silence you come to hear that meaning. In stillness you come to know that purpose.

Make a place in each day for the peaceful stillness. For it is the place where all that is possible takes shape.

Psalms 46:10

Martina McBride - God's Will ... ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫


I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves
It hid the braces on his legs at first

His smile was as bright as the August sun
When he looked at me
As he struggled down the driveway, it almost
Made me hurt

Will don't walk too good
Will don't talk too good
He won't do the things that the other kids do,
In our neighborhood

I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will

Will's mom had to work two jobs
We'd watch him when she had to work late
And we'd all laugh like I hadn't laughed
Since I don't know when

Hey Jude was his favorite song
At dinner he'd ask to pray
And then he'd pray for everybody in the world but him

I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
He was a boy without a father
And his mother's miracle
I've been readin', writin', prayin', fightin'
I guess I would be still
Yeah, that was until
I knew God's Will

Before they moved to California
His mother said, they didn't think he'd live
And she said each day that I have him, well it's just
another gift
And I never got to tell her, that the boy
Showed me the truth
In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
Me and God love you

I've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jaded
I guess I would be still
Yeah that was until...
I met God's Will on a Halloween night
He was dressed as a bag of leaves

Amor é... ler um ao outro como um livro.

Estar Com Pressa # Being In A Hurry


Estar com pressa.
Chegar à próxima coisa sem entrar totalmente na coisa à minha frente.
Não consigo pensar numa única vantagem que eu já tive em estar com pressa.
Mas milhares de coisas partidas e perdidas, dezenas de milhares, encontram-se na base de toda a pressa...
Através de toda essa pressa eu pensava que estava a ganhar tempo.
Acontece que eu estava a desperdiça-lo.

~ Mark Buchanan, O Repouso de Deus

 #

Being in a hurry.
Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me.
I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry.
But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing...
Through all that haste I thought I was making up time.
It turns out I was throwing it away.

You look around
It's staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder

What if I'm overtaken
What if I never make it
What if no one's there?
Will You hear my prayer?

When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that He won't let you go

So what are you waiting for?
What do you have to lose?
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all
It takes in you
You can walk on the water too

So get out
And let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste
Don't wait
Don't you turn around and miss out
Everything you were made for
I know you're not sure
So you play it safe
You try to run away

If you take that first step
Into the unknown
My God won't let you go


So what are you waiting for? 
What do you have to lose? 
Your insecurities try to alter you

You know you're made for more 
So don't be afraid to move 
Your faith is all 
It takes in you 
You can walk on the water too

(Step Out)
Even when a storm hits
(Step Out)
Even when you're broken
(Step Out)
Even when your heart is telling you, telling you to give up
(Step Out)
When your hope is stolen
You can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid

So what are you waiting for?

So don't be afraid to move

You can walk on the water too

Ter fé é ver adiante aquilo que só faz sentido em retrospectiva.

To have faith is to see forward what only makes sense in retrospective.

O Lar é a Estufa # The Home is the Greenhouse

O lar é a estufa onde a sabedoria divina é cultivada. O lar é o lugar onde a maioria dos traços comportamentais, bons e maus, são aprendidos, reforçados e passados adiante às gerações futuras. Um lar é... cheio de riquezas espirituais quando cada membro adopta um espírito de servo. A maioria das discussões familiares decorre da falta renúncia aos direitos pessoais. Uma pessoa cheia do Espírito de Cristo deseja ardentemente servir. Ele não busca estabelecer o seu próprio território emocional, mas livremente edifica e encoraja outros membros da família através do seu espírito de servo. ~ Marcos 9:35

 #

The home is the greenhouse where godly wisdom is cultivated. The home is where the majority of behavioral traits, good and bad, are learned, reinforced and passed along to future generations. A home is... filled with spiritual riches when each member adopts a servant's spirit. Most family arguments stem from failure to yield personal rights. A person filled with the Spirit of Christ strongly desires to serve. He does not seek to establish his own emotional turf, but freely edifies and encourages other family members through his servant spirit. ~ Mark 9:35

Amor é... alguém que se sente parte de ti.


Às Vezes # Sometimes


Às vezes Deus acalma a tempestade...

Às vezes Ele permite que a tempestade enfureça
E acalma o Seu filho.

 #

Sometimes God calms the storm...

Sometimes He lets the storm rage
And calms His child.

Nesta fotografia subaquática de tirar o fôlego, vemos uma mulher em mergulho livre (ou seja, sem ajuda na respiração), com um cardume de atum. Isto não é uma composição ou manipulação digital como muitos poderão rapidamente assumir. O modelo na fotografia é Saho Harada, uma nadadora sincronizada duas vezes Olímpica do Japão, e a fotografia foi tirada com uma profundidade de aproximadamente 18 metros (59 pés).

In this breathtaking underwater photograph by Kurt Arrigo, we see a woman freediving (i.e., no breathing aid) with a school of tuna fish. This is not a composite or digitally manipulated as many may be quick to assume. The model in the photograph is Saho Harada, a two-time Olympic synchronised swimmer for Japan, and the photograph was taken at a depth of approximately 18 meters (59 ft).
