Hair bows for Abby!





A spur of the moment ordeal, Jenn invited me over to help with Abby's bows.. While she cooked for International Sunday, I created 7 bows with flowers from my collection throughout the years. These 3 were my fav's. Definitely took a lot of time and patience, but thankfully she was asleep so I could test them out on her :) Can't wait to see her awake in them!!

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”- Jeremiah 29:11

Bro. Carlos Ruiz, a UPCI United States Army Chaplain, who attends STWC, is being deployed to Iraq on October 19, 2008. Our church family had a surprise going away party for him. The attire: camo and black (he'll be turning 40 while he's over there) ... it was a blessing to be a part of the goodbye, but hard to see him go. I completely support him and what he's going to do while serving there. May God bless him and keep him in his journey! ***PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS!!***

Me 'n the boys in our camo!

When life throws you lemons, make lemonade!


So this past week was one of the toughest weeks I've had in quite sometime. Life has just thrown me some lemons lately and I haven't been able to make lemonade! Due to school and my first set of midterms coming up shortly, work and the stress there, my health issues that are seemingly unresolved, and just other stuff. To make it worse, I found out that my medical bills from all of the unexpected appointments and procedures I've had recently are going to cost me over $1,000. That completely put me over the top. Thankfully, I have faith in Jesus, even if sometimes it's hard to trust Him, and I have the amazing support of wonderful parents, and a great job where I actually just received a raise this past week. God is truly GOOD! I am feeling much better today, but I'm still trying to work through my issues and deal with everything! We have Ground Zero (@ STWC) coming up this weekend and I'm looking forward to being fed spiritually and filling up my spiritual tank in order to face what's ahead in the next few months. I'm getting a much needed pedicure tonight and hoping for an evening of pure relaxation! Needless to say, I'm looking forward to a new year and a fresh start.
