Thankful...

I am just thinking tonight/this morning about how thankful I am that no matter how many times I fall, or how many times I need to be picked up and placed back on my feet again, or how many times I need to feel loved....Jesus is always there. I couldn't imagine my life without Him. Well, let's face it...without Him I wouldn't be here, none of us would, but I'm so thankful that He allowed me to be His daughter and He allowed me to be filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus name. And the fact that I am Apostolic! I am just in awe of how much Jesus has blessed me and my family. He's blessed me with the friends and family I have, and so many other things. I don't know why, but tonight it just hit me how blessed I really am. I don't have to worry about being like other people my age, strung out on drugs, or having family problems, or living on the streets, but most of all, I'm so grateful that Jesus is just a prayer away. I'll never understand how He could choose me to be a daughter of His, but I'm so grateful He did!

My Day

I got home about 20 minutes ago and I had a very interesting day! :) It started off this morning at 7:30 when I rolled out of bed to take my mom to work so I could have the car. (Most of you know I am NOT in any way, shape, or form a morning person!) After I dropped off my mom, I went to pick up my friend, Cynthia, and we went to chapel at FCA. That was a lot of fun...I always love to go and see everybody! Then I took Cynthia back home and went back to my house. By this time it was about 10:30 or so and I waited for sister to arise for the day..about 10 minutes after I got home. I think I came in a little noisy! :) I then called my other friend, Veronica, to see if I could borrow some hair clips for the conference that I was going to tonight. My sister and I loaded up and ran over there to pick hair stuff out and then got back to our house around 11:50. I had decided to take my mom out to lunch today so I could spend some time with her and her lunch was at 1 so I had to leave our house by 12:30, and I had to be dressed and ready to go for church tonight because we were going to On Course down in Merced and my pastor and his wife were coming to pick my sister and I up at 3...and since my mom's lunch went until 2, I would get home about 2:30 and I still had to pick up my room, do the dishes, and curl my sister's hair. :) Needless to say the rest of my afternoon was rushed! We were picked up at 3...and we were ready!!! Whoo hoo!!! :) We had to pick another friend of ours, Sherry, because she was riding with us to On Course, and we got to the service right as the lights came on. Great timing!! As soon as altar call was over (well kinda over!) we left and went through In-N-Out's drive through and then Taco Bell's drive through for dinner and we were on our way home! O my word....the drive home was hilarious!! I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time. I think we laughed the entire 3 hour drive back home!! My pastor when he is overtired is hilarious!! You would not believe the things he was coming up with! He would start singing these crazy songs very loudly and then he was making fun of one of Janessa's stories and he laughed hysterically for at least 20 minutes! We laughed almost the entire ride home....it was crazy! Oh the stories to tell! :) I love these kind of days! We made so many memories tonight. Ones that will stay with my for the rest of my life. I am so thankful for a pastor and his wife who care about their young people and stay up until the wee hours of the morning hanging out with us and driving us to conferences so that we can meet other young people. Thank you Jesus!

Well I hope you all had a great FRIDAY!!! :) Thanks for reading my ramblings! God Bless!

Back in the swing of things and seeing old friends

Hello to all! I know it has been forever since I have been on, but I am now trying to get back into the swing of things! To catch you all up, I am not working at the moment, things weren't working out at my job and my sister and I were getting a major pay cut and it just wasn't worth it anymore, so right now we are twiddling our thumbs and waiting to see what God has in store for us job wise. I am starting classes at Heald on August 24 to start my journey through the medical field....what a long ride that will be! So worth it though! Things have been going great at church. There have been so many revivals and conferences the past couple weeks, and so many more to come! I think I have almost every weekend covered from now til the summer is over! It's exciting though! Right now, No Limits is going on. The service tonight was a good one, and I got to see a ton of people that I haven't seen in a year! That really made my night! It's awesome to get back in contact with people that you rarely get to see. My night was a good one, and since I have to get up early, I'm going to head to bed! Hope you all have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
