"For I know the thought that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And when you seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:11-13

It happend so fast!


 Here he is my pride and joy, my blessing from God, my son Mikey. What happened to him?!? Is seemed like only yesterday he was a baby in my arms and now I take him to his first swim lesson. He is getting ready to finish up first grade. He has discovered the amazing wonders of climbing tree's, and he is better at electronics that I am.Yesterday when I took his pic at swim lessons I looked and realized that he no longer has a baby face. He is all boy, with his own unique attitude and personality. He is all boy and loving it.

Mikey still has many years to go before he becomes a man, even though currently he thinks that you become a man when you hit third grade. But this is one of those beautiful moments in a parents life that you sit back an just be amazed at what an amazing person God has gifted you with to raise. Now I sit back in prayer and thank God for Mikey, an ask that He makes me the mom  that He would have me be.

"God thank you for this beautiful child that You have trusted me to raise. Give me the wisdom to raise him up to know You. Help me teach him Lord to be a good and fair man, one that You would find glory in. Lord let me be an example to him of what it means to follow You."

Welcome to my new adventure in blogging!

Hello everyone!! I have been inspired to create a blog by my wonderful friends who keep in touch through blogging. God willing I can keep up with it and do a good job. I am looking forward to using this space to share my love for Jesus, give updates on any mission projects that I  am working on, and the keep friends and family posted on the happenings in my life.

Right now I am looking forward to school being finished in just a couple of weeks. I have four papers left to turn in and that will be it for the summer. I am so looking forward to relaxing and reading books that I picked out. I am also excitedly preparing for our mission trip to Catamarca, Argentina in July. I am so excited to get to teach VBS to the local kids and get to know the wonderful people in Argentina. I am little nervous because I only took two years of Spanish in high school about 12 years ago and I got really bad grades. So communication will be a challenge. I trust Jesus though in providing a way to communicate, after all Gods love is in all languages.

Well I must get going and write my papers. I look forward to hearing from you and please let me know wha you would like to hear about from me in my blog.
God Bless you today and everyday.
