God's Work

Yes I know it has been quite awhile since I have posted! I apologize, I have just had alot going on! Wow, where do I begin? Well first off, I got to go back to BSF this year! It was awesome getting to study the book of John! If you are not in a Bible Study and you want something in-depth and life changing, go to BSF to get more information and locate a group near you! This next year they are studying Isaiah and this is a new one!!! I can not wait! The next thing that happened is God has just been working on my heart and breaking me little by little to make me who He wants me to be! He has reached into the depths of me, and connected the fibers of my being with Him INSTEAD of me!! It has been painful, fulfilling and one of the most scariest things I have been through! But worth every bit of it! I am now exercising regularly, eating properly, and no longer sleeping until 10 and 11 am! I am getting up at 4am, getting hubby off to work and spending time with God! I am not perfect and still a work in progress, however, God has brought me a LONG way from where I was last year! Sebastian (my son) just finished Pre K 4 and will be moving to kindergarten and we are so proud of him! My mom and grandparents are both up in Colorado and everyone else may end up joining them there before long! I may go to because these hotflashes are driving me nuts, however, that is in Gods hands! Also I have been asked at my church to assist our new Youth Pastor! It is so awesome because of what has been my prayer! I went to TBI (Texas Bible Institute) to learn leadership and be equipped by God to show the world My Lord! That was in 1999! So here I was like, God I received this awesome trainning and I felt as if I was wasting it! However, I believe that God had to work things out through me and I took a few rabbit trails! :) It is awesome that God allows U-Turns! So now I am currently working on VBS (Register Here Locals) for the 7th and 8th graders! Not by myself, but assisting! BY THE WAY, we need volunteers to help us for the 7th and 8th graders so if you would like to volunteer, visit the website and sign up ;)! It is amazing how when we let go and let God, He can do exceedingly and abunduntly ABOVE anything we ask or think! This is why God tells us that His ways are above ours! Give yourself to Him, surrender to Him EVERYTHING, and you will see how great and mighty He is! He will blow you away!

There is also about to be some changes in my household as we go from a family of 4 to a family of 10!!!! My sister, brother in law and their 4 kids will be here MONDAY!!! Wow! Talk about a major change! It is amazing seeing what God is doing! I was praying and asking God how I could help my sister out as I was not able to send her money! Well I thought about how AWESOME my church is and so I was going to ask if they had any can goods, clothes, toys etc, that I could take to my sister on June 12th when I was to go and pick up 2 of my nieces to come here with us! Words can not express how awesome my church is! Someone gave me a $40 donation for my sister, people were talking about bringing food, and another couple asked about clothes and toys! My heart was overwhelmed! You see my sister has been asking me questions about God! I believe that my sister is saved even though she has been away for awhile based on John 10:28! So we have been praying for her at my church and through BSF prayer time! My sister is surrounded by prayer and all though satan is trying very very hard and is currently winning, he will not be for long! :) I know that my sister is a child of God and I cant wait to take her to church with me, get her involved and show her God's Love! So here we go again! We tried to live together almost 6 years ago, and it failed because I was not as close to God and walking with Him! I loved God but I didn't depend on Him 100%! I am praying this time will be different! I am praying this time for God to be in control! I am praying that the Holy Spirit will be at work all of the time! I won't lie, I am scared, but I am giving that "scared" idea over to God, because satan would LOVE to destroy the little relationship my sister and I have! He would also love to shatter the little bit of question that my sister has about God! I will keep yall updated (try to) with how this is going! Pray for relationships to become stronger between sisters and God, pray for LOVE to flow in this house, and pray that God will be in control at all times! Bind satan from any foothold in anyway! Thank you!

The last, but not least thing is that I am working on opening my bakery business via Internet! I am soooo excited! I love to bake and would love to give to others the yumminess of a home baked item! As soon as the website launches I will post it here for all to see! Thank you for taking the time to read this! I will try to be more faithful in posting here! There are other things that God is currently working on in my life and that will come about soon! When they do I will let you know! For now just pray that God continues to grow in my life and continues changing me into His image! Until next time, God bless and keep you!
