I'm not a fan of blowing up my own Facebook news feed every day with stuff, so I'll keep a blog entry for the month. I'm thankful for... 11/1 ...all the opportunities I've had to travel the US and the world. It's such a blessing to be able to see all of God's people in … Continue reading Thankful in November

The [family] that built me
I bought these frames and arranged these pictures shortly after my aunt sent them in the mail. I finally got them up on the wall tonight. You can't see from the picture, but they are on the wall that joins the living room and the hallway. I think I put them there on purpose, so … Continue reading The [family] that built me
Surrender
I'm not sure when it started, but I haven't been writing with any regularity. That's not to say that there aren't exciting things happening in life, or that I'm not still as introspective as usual. I just haven't been struck with an AWESOME IDEA for this AWESOME BLOG that everyone wants to read.. (has that … Continue reading Surrender
A whirlwind week
Yay, it's Friday! Although I've been going since 7ish this morning, it's been a good day. In fact, all the days this week were good despite getting home late Tuesday (I have a night class) and Aaron's crazy work schedule. One night he even had to go back in to work. Blech. I'm loving my … Continue reading A whirlwind week
Give Life a Hug
That's right, embrace it. If the logical "me" could tell the emotional whiny "me" some things it'd be these: -Stop wishing you were in a different place. God put you here in El Paso for a reason. Enjoy the scenery, as drab as the desert can be. Learn something new about your surroundings as often … Continue reading Give Life a Hug

Jesus was crucified and gave his life for us. He was sinnless and God raise him from death to be the only Judge of us. Jesus preached … Continue reading Legacy of faith
I found this today
We're all still working through this... this is the hardest thing I have ever been through. My grieving process has been touch and go since being back in Texas. It was comforting having family around and the time to sit and think. I've been nannying and working on a couple orders for people... and doing … Continue reading I found this today
Fairy tales and four-days
I'm thankful that today, the day after a fantastic weekend, was not a let-down like so many days after holiday weekends are. We had a FABULOUS weekend! For starters, we've been watching the first season of "Once Upon a Time", a show based on all the fairy tales we learned as children. I admit, I … Continue reading Fairy tales and four-days
Summer nostalgia
I know it's not *technically* summer yet, but it's in the 90's in El Paso, so it feel like summer. Crazy to think we have over a month until the actual solstice! Anyway, I digress. Summer has great memories. I'm pretty sure I've blogged about this before. Here's a list of things I love about … Continue reading Summer nostalgia
Staying missions-minded
As time goes on, it's becoming more and more evident to us that we are being called into missions. "Called" can be a term thrown around in the Christian circles.. but basically what I mean is that we have a very strong inclination and desire to go. Aaron still has four years left in the … Continue reading Staying missions-minded
