Let us call them treasures

Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Matthew 6:21New Living Translation (NLT)

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. There is anything in the world that is precious for you? Anything that you would consider your treasure? If you haven't thought about it I suggest you to do it because that is filling your heart whether you want it or not. Sometimes I doesn't have to be material, it can be the time that you spend with someone, or some activity. In the daily routine we have a name for those things that we really like doing. We name them: hobbies. In this post I want to share with you something that I really like doing, what it means to me and some other hobbies that I have had or I would like to have.

In my opinion, hobbies mean something that you love to do and you could spend the whole day doing. Also they mean a way to escape from reality. Considering that, I would say that my favorite hobby is playing the guitar because It is a time that I spend in my room alone, playing a song that I already know or learning another song that I like. I have this hobby since I was in 7th grade but I began practicing more since I was in high school, due to I started spending more time at home in the afternoon because I moved to a nearer school and I started arriving home earlier.

It is important to me because before playing the guitar I pray and take all my thoughts to God's presence and I find peace and hope, remembering the truth of His word. It is a little contradictory with that I said at the beginning but that takes me out of my distressing thoughts and brings me back to reality and the things that are really important. Then, I start giving praise to God with the guitar for all that He is, for all the things He has made in my life, for being with me all the time and giving me hope in all the circumstances that I'm living now. 

Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
John 8:31-32New Living Translation (NLT)
Of course that my hobbies have changed with time. When I was a child I used to play with my classmates, whatever the game was, read books and watch movies with my family, a lot of movies... Today my hobby is playing the guitar (I only name one not because it is the only thing that I enjoy doing yet it is the only thing that I practice "frequently") and tomorrow it could be anything else. Anyway, I hope I will never choose gambling as a hobby, because it becomes in an addiction and when you became an addict you can't measure the consequences of what you are doing and you do anything to satisfy your wish. Instead I would like to spend time learning to play the piano, playing volleyball, swimming, trekking, cooking, painting and knitting.


So that would be my hobby, that would be my treasure, the moment that I spend alone with God returning to reality while I play the guitar. Thank God I have had the opportunity of having these moments from some time now and although I know that hobbies change during our lives, I don't want to quit on this.

Thank you for reading and God bless you.

PS: One last suggestion...
"Guard your heart above all else,
for it determines the course of your life."
Proverbs 4:23 New Living Translation (NLT)

Postgraduate studies?

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well. Today I am going to travel far in the future, as I did in my previous post. We are going to talk about a course that you would like to take when you finish your major degree. When I heard this I said "What?! Are you crazy? How am I going to talk about what I am going to do after I graduate if I'm not even close to gradute yet?" Anyway, I will try to look beyond that I have in front of my eyes and tell you what I would like to do. I'm just joking. I do use to look at the future but I question myself about if it is going to be as I imagine it. I'll tell you about that later. [SOURCE] Answering the question about what I would like to do when I finish my major degree I would say taking a Master in Biochemistry. I would consider taking this course in the future because it's objective is giving a high level background in Biochemical sciences and its aplications to professionals and university graduates. I ...

Second term, here we go!

Hello everyone! welcome back. It's been a long time since the last post. I hope you had a nice term ending, and if you didn't, don't be sad because even if you didn't get what you wanted to, you did an effort for it, you persisted. That makes you grow up and learn... So tell me.  How are you doing? How did you do on vacations? Did you have a good time? Did you rest enough? I hope you did! Did you travel some where? or there is any place or country that you would like to go to in the future? I think that is a question that we all have ask to ourselfs in some moment of our life, when we start dreaming about those longed for vacations that will come... later or sooner, they will come. [source] [source] Let me tell you about the place that I would like to visit: Chile. Why did I choose the same country where I live? Because I know that Chile is a beautiful country and has so much different landscapes due to its great latitudinal length, but I have never v...

Alcohol

Hello everyone! I hope you are doing well :). I know I said that  the last post it was going to be the last one, but I have this pending topic, so here goes the last post for real. Have you ever tried any drug of abuse? Why was it for? In this post I'm going to talk about alcohol, a drug of abuse that I have tried, which has its pros and cons, which effects in our brain and body have been and still being studied by Biochemistry, a drug that it is legal but that doesn't make it any less drug .   I have tried alcohol in celebrations with my family. My family uses to drink alcohol in special occasions and I have tried what they are drinking in those opportunities. I have liked the flavour of the other things that are accompanying alcohol, but I don´t like the flavour of alcohol, so I prefer to drink the same that they are drinking but without alcohol or, more currently, I prefer to drink juice. Talking about the advantages, one of the most supported benefits of al...
