Mi Jefe...

Apa

This is my dad, Enoc Ruiz Robles. He was born in March 19th 1955 in Tijuana Baja California. He married Maria Del Rosario Lopez in 1985. From this marriage came avery handsome, very talented, annointed, awesome and humble young man...me (jajajaja ok im jk, but for reals). This man right here has been my right hand, has been the rythm to my life. He has shaped me to become a better person. when we were young, he never told us to become a doctor, a scientist, an athlete, he never forced us into anything. He would jsut tell us "Be the best that you could be, you want to become a janitor, be the best janitor you could ever be."To be good in school, to be the best Christian you can possibly be, be the best volleyball player you could ever be. He is the epidimy of a father. I thank God for giving me someone who has a passion to serve others, and place himself last. For putting smile on his face, though we are, as eddie puts it, "between blessings." 53 years old and he STILL manages to kick my butt at volleyball. He's a true spiritual soldier, faithful to God, and a loving father. I've been told i look like my father, but I'm no where near to being like him. It's an honor to told i look like him. He had to leave school in order to help his mother and siblings, since my grandfather walked out on them. With that same motivation and will, he supported us.
This is my father Enoc Ruiz Robles. He's a sikk dad!!!
oh by the way he looks like Charles Bronson, here's my proof...
(jaja perdon Apa, lo tuve que hacer. Te quiero mucho!!)

A Good Friend...


(Chessy picture jaja)
I'm so honored and gretaful that i get to work with a great man of God like Eddie. He has a true passion for God, loves this youth and simply an awesome guy. Helped get this youth back on its feet and thought it how to walk again. No one in our youth can deny the God he has in him, and the works done through him. Above all this, he's a good friend of mine. Much love Eddie, and i pray that God continues to work in your life. Thank you so much from th deepest part of my heart! I'll be a part of the many who follow you. Count on me Eddie, from now on!
one of your disciples Esteban!
CLEAN!!!!!!

God Bless you!

My Burden...

Praise The Lord errbody! It's my blog so I decided to post a blog up about myself. Found it difficult to talk about myself, but I'll do this anyways...

Everyone knows that I am a follower of God, I'm a Christian. I grew up in church and i haven't departed (Thank God). At school, I'd tell my friends i was Christian, i believed in God, plain and simple. I've never been drunk and I've never smoked pot, marijuana etc... (and never plan to). Both my parents, my two older brothers are Christian and i love them all. God has blessed me with a good mood, with a passion of being joyful, hyper and friendly. I AM A CHRISTIAN! and everybody expects me to be a Christian...
I've build many relationships throughout my life. Friends that I trust, enjoy being around, and just having a good time. God blessed me with the gift of hospitality. I guess i use it to my best. And to just think of leaving my friends, letting them down, and dissapointing them... to me is unacceptable.
My point is that, since I've tried my utter best to maintain a relationship with my Lord... people will always expect me to stay a Christian. When I thought about leaving church, leaving the ways of God, I'd think of every single soul that has touched me and I to them. I couldn't do it. God placed a burden in me, for them. I have to maintain my ground, for myself, but above all else... for them. Brothers and sister leave... but Esteban is still there. Who do i know that still goes to that church? i know Esteban. Hey look... Esteban is STILL here. At least they'll have one thing similar since they've left.
It's hard to explain, and it seems a bit vague, but that's what God placed in my heart. To show love, hospitality, compassion, thats why I'm here. I'm no one to judge. I'm here to listen. When you feel that no one hears you, I'll hear you. I'll show love when no one else will. This is me... I don't know how else to explain it. I need to be friendly, I need to spread the Gosple. To show love the way God showed love towards me.To carry other people's burden with them. If you're in pain, I'm in pain. If you're suffering, I'm suffering. Maybe i won't clearly understand your situation, problems, issues, but I'll sure try to.
Don't get me wrong, I live for God. I look to the hills, from which cometh my help, and my help cometh from the Lord. I'll always be a Christian for God, and for everyone else. I will set a standard, when the enemy comes in like a flood... I WILL! stand my ground. This is my burden.
Please tell me if this made sense jaja. I feel I didn't get my point accross as I'd hope for.
