Week 13:

This week was the week of Christmas, my favorite time of the year! However, this year it seemed much busier than usual.

Oscar and I have been so very blessed and trailed this year. Eli, our son, has spent much of this year in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals. Through it all though our friends, families, and especially our parents have been so supportive, we can't thank them enough.
 
Oscar's parents have been life savers this year. Norma takes care of Eli during the day so I can continue to work, this is/was a necessity because of the in creditably good insurance I have through my job. Norma's willingness to care for Eli was a HUGE blessing, because for most of the year Eli was in isolation. Honestly, I don't know what we would've done without Norma.

Thankfully, Oscar and I were blessed recently and because of that blessing we were able to thank Oscar Sr. and Norma for the help they've been to us this year. We were able to get Oscar's parents a nice Christmas gift that was a blessing to the entire family.

To my dad and his wife Julie, thank you for everything you have done for us this year. Know that someday Oscar and I intend on returning the favor. Our family would've had a much harder year if y'all hadn't helped when you did.

To the rest of our family and friends who have prayed for us this year, THANK YOU! Seriously, from the bottoms of hearts we thank you. Your prayers helped us survive this year. God was very gracious to our family and has blessed us in more ways than you can imagine. Here's to another year of blessings!

Week 8:

This week my blog is all about something that is very near and dear to my heart. For those of you who don't know I have a younger cousin and younger brother who both have autism. My cousin Aaron lives in Odessa, Texas, and has recently graduated High School. For most graduates this is a very exciting time, they start college, move away from home, and get an apartment. However, for Aaron things are much different. Aaron can't go to college, or live on his own, because of the autism Aaron needs to stay home with his family. He needs to have someone watch over him and help him with day to day living. Without school there isn’t anywhere Aaron can go during the day, because of this my aunt retired and stays home with Aaron.   For many years my aunt and uncle have prayed God would provide some type of resource, a place where young adults like Aaron could go to continue learning new things. God always finds a way to meet our needs.   This week my blessing is simple I ...

Week 33:

This blessing took place the week of May 11 th – 17 th . I was beyond blessed this week. I was given an opportunity to go home for few days. I flew out on Thursday, May 15 th . Anytime I fly home I have a layover in Dallas. This usually allows for me to get breakfast or lunch. This being a typical layover I stopped to get some breakfast at McDonalds. Instead of getting my usual, just a breakfast burrito and a drink I felt the need to get the meal. It includes 2 burritos, a hash brown, and a drink. After getting my meal and arriving at my gate. The girl sitting next to me asked where she could find McDonalds. I told her she would need to take the skylink to get there, but she probably wouldn't have time to go and come back before boarding.   I told her I had an extra burrito that she could have if she wanted it. She asked if I was serious, I smiled and said, "Yes, I seriously have an extra burrito and you can have it". I went on to tell her I never get the meal b...

Week 14:

I have a bad habit of being hard on myself. I constantly make jokes about not being good enough. It wasn't until recently when a good friend of mine told me I don't give myself enough credit. She's absolutely right, and I guarantee I'm not alone in this. I know some of you reading this do the same thing. You belittle yourself, or you try and justify you quarks. For example you might make a similar comment, "I'm socially awkward, but the people who love me look past this…" Or "I'm not really sure why people read my blog, I'm not a writer." I could list example after example of not measuring up to the "world's standards", but you know what I've learned? Those standards don't matter; they really don't, because my worth comes from a higher authority. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualifications come from God. – 2 Corinthians 3:5 Here's the deal when God looks ...
