vonnie! this totally brought tears to my eyes! Amazing is right! I started to think how my problems are so petty! God has been so good to me and I'm forever thankful for that!
A few days prior to this picture. My brother Michael and I left San Diego to meet with my parents and other siblings regarding my father's declining health. He had started having problems with his vision and his heart was acting up. My father was a hard-working man. He was a cement mason and a pastor. So he had two very hard but important occupations. He was an intelligent man and was looked up to by so many in both professions. I've known him to do a forty day fast with just water! Yes, I said, FORTY DAYS! I can remember it as if it was just yesterday. I was a teenager at the time and we were living in Fontana, California. I will never ever forget the blessings he prayed over all his children, plus my Uncle Isaias right before he broke his fast. All of his children are living for God today. To God be all the glory. Trust me we've had some bumps and plenty of bruises along the way but today we stand victorious in Christ. Back to the topic. My father wa...
Judah has a black eye that Jojo gave to him. They both decided to get on daddy's back at the same time and Jojo hit Judah with his head near his eye. Judah looks tore up. Needless to say the black eye is now finally fading! Every time I turn around these two have bumps and bruises! I met two wonderful ladies yesterday that had a story to tell. The first lady I met has been diagnosed with colon cancer. She began to cry and tell me that she has been sick for over a year now. She said, she feels very helpless and can't do anything. She wore a mask because she didn't want to get infections from people that may be sick. I grabbed her hand gently and began to pray that the good Lord would heal her. She began to weep and I wept with her. We stopped praying and she grabbed me and hugged me and began sobbing. She thanked me for praying for her. I held her for a few moments and began to pray again. I said, do you believe the Lord will heal you? She said, she prays everyday for healin...
Josh and part of his heritage, the Mexican Man... Josh, Ez, Jojo and Judah making the gingerbread house... Josh, Jojo and Judah...look mom what we did.... Josh, Jojo and Judah...hey wait a second you can't eat it yet...its for decorations right now... I had to run a few jobs for the banks on Saturday so Ezra and the boys wasted no time at all. He made sure Josh finished his heritage doll for his school project that was due on Monday. Then he had the boys help him make the gingerbread house. Usually just Josh and Ez make it together but this time he let the twins help them. I snapped a picture of them before I left and it was so cute to watch them tell me that they were making the house. When I returned from running my jobs, Ezra had given them all haircuts and they were pointing at the gingerbread house and were so proud of it. The boys all wanted a bite of the gingerbread house but I said, they had to wait! One of them opened up his mouth to take a bite out of it and then they...
