Week 19:


This blessing took place the week of February 1st – 8th

 I am thrilled to finally be able to write this post.

We found out on February 1st my sister in law was in labor and we would FINALLY meet our sweet niece Eva. Since Eva has an older brother mommy and daddy needed somebody to keep an eye on big brother while we waited to meet Eva. Oscar and I were thrilled to be able to watch JD while Ivone was in labor.

Since its February and we live in Arkansas it's too cold to play outside. So, we took the boys to the mall and let them run around and play in the kid area they have in the mall. We had a great time running, jumping, and eating candy. Shh… don't tell his parents! Ha!

Once, Eva was here we took big brother and Cousin Eli to meet the newest member of the family. What a sweet moment to have been honored to have shared. JD was excited to meet his sister he kept saying, "Baby Eva". We, as a family, are very thankful to report both mommy and baby are doing well and are home.  

I'm so thankful we live close enough to some family to be able to help out and bless each other. I don't know how other people manage to raise kids without the help of family. It was such a blessing to be able to care for JD while waiting to meet his sister!

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 ...
