Have yourself a very Merry Little Christmas

I must say, the greatest gift of all, to me, is receiving God every year. Merry Christmas! A VERY Blessed Christmas!! May you continue to count your blessings…your true gifts of Love, FAITH, Unity, Health, Peace, family & true friends. Sure, it’s a blessing to own the latest shoes, rock the hottest brands and own the biggest house…BUT material things ALWAYS change, they come & go. However, Gods love & patience is here to stay forever more <3 Feliz Navidad! Do not forget to stop by the most giving house of all & “give thanks to the Lord for he is GOOD!” -Psalm 136:1

"True Love forgives, it doesn't abandon, it doesn't break, it does not imprison...Not trying to justify betrayal BUT mistakes are only human. True lovers understand each other, love each other and forget about resentment!" <3

Be Thankful

On this day…Be glad that your life has been full and complete. Be glad that you’ve tasted the bitter and the sweet. Be glad that you’ve walked in sunshine and rain. Be glad that you’ve felt both pleasure and pain. Be glad for the comfort that you’ve found in prayer, family, friendships, and acquaintances. Everyone and everything in your life is meant to be there to serve a purpose. Be glad & truly be thankful, even for the little things because someone out there is less fortunate than you. But most importantly, BE GLAD FOR GOD’s BLESSINGS, HIS LOVE AND HIS CARE. Happy Thanksgiving ♥

XOXO, MariaLA :)

My little Angel fast asleep…i love him <3 My puppy Prince :) Sweet Dreams everyone

Life doesn't come with Instructions

I’ve been called the “virgin mary”, other days the “religious one” and sometimes even the “goodie two-shoes”…but truth is, I make mistakes too. I’ve lied, I’ve disrespected my parents, I’ve lost my patience, i’ve stolen, I’ve yelled & cursed, I’ve hurt someone, I’ve made mistakes, I’ve done things without thinking and I even have regrets. Yes, it’s true. However, after all the stupidity, I’ve never tried to reach perfection because I’m human. I’m bound to fall. The key to all my low points has been GETTING BACK UP. Every little bad thing in my life, I overcame it, grew from it and learned from it. I don’t strive to be perfect, just a BETTER person than the day before. What I’m trying to say is this: even the most “innocent” looking person is allowed to make mistakes because life doesn’t come with instructions. I have to admit that in the end, some of my greatest pains have been my greatest strengths. Only God knows I speak the truth…So today, give yourself a break. It’s okay to make mistakes! Learn from it & do good. I pinky promise you will see a brighter day :) Happy Sunday <3

Jealousy = NO TIME TO LOVE

Demonstrating jealousy will get you NOWHERE! I see it time and time again with friends vs. friends and family vs. family…what’s the use? Everyone will always have something better than the other, but you must also remember that everyone lacks something in life. Sure, you might not be driving your best friends brand new Lexus but your best friend could easily not have the love & support of a family that you happen to have. BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE. Be genuinely happy for others happiness, for that will only bring happiness & blessings into your life ++++++♥ 

My boyfriend was able to get hook-ups to an early release…just in time to give it to me on my actual birthday :))))) I’m gonna be honest guys, I am really NOT materialistic and to me, it’s the little things that matter. Last night he cooked dinner for me, for the first time ever and I can honestly say I fell in love with him all over again. HOWEVER, just the fact that my boyfriend goes that extra mile to do something sweet for me as to buying me shoes…I have to say that I’m blessed to even own one pair of shoes. He showers me with so much and God knows I am truly thankful for every extra mile my boyfriend takes just to put a smile to my face. I AM THE MOST BLESSED GIRL IN THE WORLD!!!!!

Dear God, as I begin this day, my thoughts turn to you, and I ask for your help and guidance in everything I say and do. Give me the PATIENCE that I need to keep my peace of mind and with lifes’ cares, I hope, dear God some HAPPINESS to find. Let me live, but for today NOT worrying whats ahead for I have TRUST that you will see I get my daily bread. GIVE me the COURAGE to face life’s trials and not from troubles run and let me keep this thought in mind “Thy will, not mine, be done.” And if some wish I do not get, though I have prayed to thee, please help me to believe and understand you know whats best for me. I’ve failed you many times, I know, but tonight when I rest I hope that I can say, “Dear God, I’ve tried my best.” ♥

180: Changing Lives

If you recall, a few weeks ago I posted up a Pro-Life video that sent out a POWERFUL MESSAGE. A few days later I posted up a different video on Facebook also on why we should be Pro-Life. Basically both videos are a call to CELEBRATE LIFE. Well, guess what, it PAID OFF!!! This morning I woke up to WONDERFUL news through a message sent to me via Facebook. The message said the following:

"Hey Maria (: I wanna thank you for posting the video ‘The Miracle of Life’. My mom’s friend messaged me on Wednesday saying her client was going to get an abortion, & she text me for help. I sent her the link to the 180 movie & the link to the miracle of life & today as you can see in my latest status… A life was saved!!!! (: And in a way you were a huge part of it without even knowing it :D♥ THANK YOU."

I don’t know about you guys but that was AMAZING to hear…GOD IS GOOD! Anyway, if you want to watch the videos, click on the links below…HAPPY FRIDAY TUMBLRS :)

Be Honest…BE FAITHFUL! Send out good Karma Always!

Do you understand the meaning of the word FAITHFUL? If not, then you probably shouldn’t be in a relationship. You’ve been hurt. You’ve felt pain caused by the one you loved most. Then why are you making the same mistake your previous partner made on you? Why would you want to hurt someone who truly loves you & would do anything for you? They say hate is such a strong word. Well, LOVE is just as strong…maybe even STRONGER & still it gets thrown around like trash. Instead, you should pick it up and nurture it because once you find TRUE LOVE you find happiness. DON’T WASTE IT FOR A MOMENT OF PLEASURE & LOOSE IT FOR A LIFETIME OF REGRET. Once a cheater ISN’T always a cheater…and only you can change that!

Love is...

Love is not BOUGHT. Love is not BRIBED. Love is a feeling that is planted like a tiny seed. This seed needs to be nurtured and taken care of with honest and real emotions. It must be watered with tender, love and care in order to make it blossom. To keep love alive, it must be kept warm with happy rays of sunshine because when skies are gray, those rays must always find away to shine through any difficulty or struggle. If you can love through it all, you will find happiness. Love is happiness. Happiness is love. If you feel like you need a boyfriend or girlfriend to love, think again. Love begins with God, your family and yourself. Once you find love in them, you will find true love in someone else because you have learned to appreciate what you need and not what you want, what you deserve and not what you desire. Remember: You don’t need to be a celebrity or be the richest to have a happy life because sometimes, the high elite are the ones who lack the most love in this world.

Love for the "Small Things"

Today more than ever, the Lord has made me realize what I truly LOVE and VALUE. WHAT MATTERS IN THIS WORLD. Seriously, nothing beats spending quality time with good people who aren't just good company, but are also people whom you can count on for the rest of your life. Nothing could ever beat quality time with those you love...FAMILY and FRIENDS. Which brings me to the latest gossip that's in the mouths of everyone as of this morning. Today, Kim Kardashian's filed divorce was publicly announced just 72 days after wedding basketball player Kris Humphries. Before I continue on the topic, this blog is NOT to criticize their marriage because I'm a mere spectator of what the media puts on blast. However, as a spectator, I am able to make my own conclusions to these "breaking news". Honestly, when everyone thinks of Kim Kardashian, girls see nothing but a beautiful woman that they would like to be. Most women who are fans of her would give anything to walk in her shoes. When it comes to men, most of them would give anything to have a woman like her by their side. With all due respect, the woman is unbelievably GORGEOUS. Her beauty can NOT be hidden or denied. The only issue is that, individually, men and women dream of their life like a Kardashian or to know one, forgetting they are special in their own given way. Today's news was an eyeopening event that only made me realize that having the hottest body, millions of dollars or even a prestigious name could NEVER, EVER BUY YOU TRUE LOVE. Love is not BOUGHT. Love is not BRIBED. Love is a feeling that is planted like a tiny seed. This seed needs to be nurtured and taken care of with honest and real emotions. It must be watered with tender, love and care in order to make it blossom. To keep love alive, it must be kept warm with happy rays of sunshine because when skies are gray, those rays must always find away to shine through any difficulty or struggle. If you can love through it all, you will find happiness. Love is happiness. Happiness is love. If you feel like you need a boyfriend or girlfriend to love, think again. Love begins with God, your family and yourself. Once you find love in them, you will find true love in someone else because you have learned to appreciate what you need and not what you want, what you deserbe and not what you desire. Remember: You don't need to be a celebrity or be the richest to have a happy life because sometimes, the high elite are the ones who lack the most love in this world.

Halloweenie this year caught me so unprepared. I totally improvised with my wardrobe this year and was a “school girl” for a party on Saturday. However, costume or not, I definitely went ‘Trick-or-Treating’ with my boyfriend tonight. We took my little sister & his little sister around the neighborhood to fill up their Jack-o’-lanterns. Boyyy did those girls get scrumplicious candy! Definitely called DIBS on a few myself. Anyway, just in honor of the festivities, I leave you with a picture of my costume last year…My Mexican version of a sailor ;) Happy Halloweenie Everyone! Give thanks to a safe & yummy night.

The Beauty in You

I don’t own Lima’s eyes, Kardashian’s butt or Hudgens rockin’ obliques. Let alone carry Cs or Ds. Those women are who they are and AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL as can be. BUT that doesn’t mean i don’t carry beauty in me, for I am PERFECT in God’s eyes because He made me. I have love to share and a smile to spare. My beauty is internal AND external. From my shoulders to my hair, from my dark brown eyes, my laughs, my height, my thoughts and my feet and many other things you don’t see. SURE I carry “flaws” within me but those are the features that best complete me. To you I might NOT be a beauty queen but I’m happy as can be. My body isn’t perfect BUT I've learned to LOVE WHAT I SEE and I wouldn’t change myself for bully critiques. So everyone, EMBRACE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU ARE UNIQUE AS CAN BE ♥ :)

We’ve had INCREDIBLE UPS & one full episode of terrible downs. NOW that we’ve surpassed the bad, we’re walking at the same pace, hand in hand, in ONE LOVE for as long as God will allow :)

My Love Letter to God

Tonight as I lay in bed, snuggled up in my PJs, drinking out of a warm mug of tea, I can’t help but drop a few tears and  feel a strong need to ask God to forgive all my mistakes. He knows I was truly blind at one point in my life. He knows I was a fool for putting Him second. LESSON LEARNED. At the same time, I THANK HIM. I thank God for being the best being i could ever rely on. Only he will forever understand my thoughts, my pains, my tears, my struggles, my efforts, my sacrifices & the immense amount of love i have to offer. THANK YOU LORD. Thank you for the many tears i shed at one point. Thank you for the pain because without that, I would have never completely realize how INCREDIBLE YOU ARE. How LUCKY i am to carry FAITH IN YOU. You are forever irreplaceable in my life. You have done nothing but bless me with GOODNESS, tender, love & care in the times absolutely NO ONE did. THANK YOU FOREVER. You are TRULY MY #1. I LOVE YOU.

I just finished watching the most INSPIRING 33 minute video I have ever seen in my entire life. This video isn’t meant to JUDGE women who have made a choice in their past that is irreversible now. However, it is meant to touch your heart with COMPASSION. PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! Watch this video. It is EYE OPENING, LIFE CHANGING & HEART CHANGING (to some).

This video (in my eyes) wasn’t created to demoralize or make the Holocaust any less important. I for one am a believer of the unjust act the Jewish people went through in this horrifying event. In my eyes, this video was just to express that, “Killing is Killing” PERIOD. If it’s wrong in Asia, in Africa, in Mexico, in Europe, in the U.S.A., etc, then it SHOULD BE WRONG EVERYWHERE.

*******If you don’t agree with the video, YOUR OPINIONS ARE RESPECTED. Thank you :)

Tips to a Good Life

We tend to excuse our mistakes with phrases like "IDGAF" or "Fuck it, im young" but when we least expect it, 20 years have gone by & we're still stuck with the same childlike mentally. Reality is this: We all have one life to live & a certain amount to live it. I invite you to LIVE IT POSITIVELY. Stay away from negativity & do your best to bite your tongue from speaking negatively. You WILL LIVE a BETTER Life :)

How to Make your Dreams Come True (In my eyes)

First, let me just say that I am NOT a dedicated bible reader. What do I mean? In the past, I have found the bible to be very boring and sometimes difficult to understand. Instead, I preferred listening to a homily during mass or reading other books on my religion. Weird huh? However, i decided to change that about myself a few days ago. Why? Simply because if i love God so much as I claim to love him, I should put in effort, time and love in order to strengthen my relationship with him. ANYWAY, point of this is that ever since I made that change and choice to learn more about the big man upstairs (GOD) through the most common and most read book in the world, my life has changed…A LOT. It’s been less than a week and I feel a difference. I LOVE READING THE BIBLE. Maybe i didn’t like it before because, despite still holding a strong faith, I was much younger, 15years old.

  Now at almost 21 years old, reading the bible has made me feel wiser…i know, i know. How the heck is that possible. I DON’T KNOW but i guess that’s why they say that God works in mysterious ways. So after reading the bible this week, it helped me come up with a good method to make your dreams come true and I would love to share it with you. So here it is:

Sharing a little bit of me…

There was a boy who would come to my locker in HS, kiss me on my forehead & say “Good morning my love”. He was the boy who would randomly hold my hand. I took it as a joke BUT still, he became a friend to hold. We spent hours video chatting & on the phone. Then, three years ago, I invited him to watch a show at the Hollywood Bowl. That day, he made me the happiest girl in the world. He kissed me for the first time & made me his girl. My boyfriend has always been AMAZING with me. Aside from treating me like a princess, like i’m his ONE & ONLY, he has been my best friend since day one. So in order to thank the man i love most, I surprised him with lasagna, cupcakes, a beautiful rose & one of his favorite romantic songs playing in the background for our 3rd year anniversary ;) ♥ ♥ ♥ 9.19.11  It was a beautiful day! Tip: Girls, chivalry doesn’t have to be exclusively for men to perform, we can do it too :) CHIVALRY LIVES WITH WHOM EVER WANTS TO AWAKEN IT <3

With Love,

                   Maria LA Vargas ❤

Sharing a little bit of me…

***My Boyfriend & i…picture taken by his brother NWT : NEVER WEAR THEM !!!!!

With Love,

it’s just an encouragement…DONATE YOUR HAIR :)

Could be just me but it seems like even he knows who to look up too :) The Almighty Father of Love

my first love!

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all thee AMAZING daddys who took the responsibility to raise other men’s children! And to all other papis too :) But most importantly HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO THE BIG MAN UPSTAIRS…GOD!!!!

the GREATEST Love from our Father

TRUTH.

Sometimes your mouth doesn’t match your heart.

(via yani—lavigne)

hope im faithful at every age

“We call ourselves followers of God, peacemakers and even try to spread good vibes but yet we criticize and gossip? If you want to change & impact others, start by changing yourself.”

Today shouldn’t be the ONLY day to express your LOVE to those closest to you, whether it’s your dog, your cat, your mom, your dad, brother or sister or perhaps your neighbor…BUT since it is a day intended to be amorous, take advantage of it to express it QUADRUPLE as much!! Hope you all have a very BLESSED, JOYOUS, ROMANTIC AND INCREDIBLE VALENTINE’s DAY with your special someone :) Be thankful for L-O-V-E !
