New addition...

So my sister, Claudia had her baby on Friday. His name is Lincoln and he is precious. You know how there are- for the lack of a bettet word...ugly babies? Well not for nothing but this one is soo cute. He's not peeling or anything. Anyways I'm speanding my firsy vacation of the year here in San Antonio but going back and forth to her house to help her out. Mostly because I want to be closer to the family. I guess the older I get the more time seems to be getting more precious. I want to be closer to them and I want to learn things I never knew how to do. It's funny but Im learning how to be a mom from my little sister. Obviously I learned what I know now from my mom but I never seen the baby stuff. And since I might one day need to know that...here goes almost a week of intensive training. Ill let you know if I discover anything in the process. But mostly this has taught me so far is that it's hard work but then I seen that with Maria. I'm not allowed to post a picture of the baby so I won't but trust me hes is CUTE. Anyways I'm out for now, but Ill write later in the week to give you an update.

Paying it forward

So a long long time ago I was dating this guy, we will call him Robert. At that time God had delivered me from one of my health scares and I was really looking to get closer to God. For a long long time I had been watching Joel Osteen on tv and wanted to go to lakewood but had never gone. I didnt know anyone who went there and since it was so big I did not want to go alone. So when Robert told me he went there and that he would take me I was more than happy to go with him. I will always thank God for letting me meet Robert because he was the person to lead me to Lakewood. Even though nothing romantic came of our dating something important did came out of our friendship. I came to give my life to the Lord because of him and I will forever be gratefull for that. It has come to my attention that I have become someone elses Robert. I am glad that I was able to help someone in the way Robert helped me. I know that there are a lot of people that say that they do not like Lakewood church or Joel Osteen but I love my chruch. I have grown so much in the ten years I have gone there. There will be a blog that will write or maybe a vlog that I will do more about my experience at Lakewood but for now just know that I am glad that I was able to pay it forward.
