Hello all!!
I hope these weeks have been treating you well. It is officially Fall as of two weeks ago; I am so excited to be entering into a new season, ready for what the changes bring, in sight, smell, taste, sounds and touch. I love the fall season, but sadly California does not get too much of it. Well I am definitely going to enjoy every minute of it!
Last week was very busy. We had training [which I desperately needed] for three days from 8-5 pm. Afterwards I went home and continued working at the house. It made the days seem more packed then they already are. To make things more interesting I started getting sick on the Monday before training. All week was spent coughing and blowing my runny nose. I was managing until the end of the week. I spent the weekend and the beginning of this week napping and resting as much as I could. I can say now that I am officially in recovery mode and the only symptom left is a small sore in my throat.
OH, but the best part of last week was that my cousin Jessica came from Texas and I was able to see her! It was so great talking with her, laughing and catching up. I was sad that we could not hang out as much as I wanted but still thankful for the time we did have.
Sunday the 26th Girls Hope of Baltimore was on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition which also showed 30 seconds of Girls Hope of Southern California! We were all so excited to watch and it was great seeing all the things that the Baltimore girls got to do and the house that was built for them. I loved seeing their mothers and the encouragement behind each of their girls for a better life. They are truly strong women.
This week has been good seeing as I am getting over my sickness. It was my sister’s birthday on the 27th and I am so excited to get to see her soon and celebrate with her! On another up note the new season of Chuck has started and I am excited to see where the story goes. I have a feeling though it’s going to be a good season. Going back to my last blog, I have been stepping out in faith and have been practicing all that Abba has been teaching me. As time continues, all that He is teaching me is becoming a part of my reflex and it is becoming close to my heart the way it is close to His. I am not saying it has been easy but Abba is definitely giving me His strength.
Well that is it for now, but I have more to come shortly [like this week!]
May the rest of your week be showered with His love.

And the wheels came off.
These past couple of weeks have been filled with excitement, fun adventures, a changing of winds, and as always a new experience that will make me stronger.
We just got two new girls in our house!! Our two seniors moved out about a month ago to go to University, and our two new girls have come into the house within a week of each other. They are both in the 6th grade and are so little. I mean, I know I am small by they are small for reals... not just in size but in age too! It's like you just want to hug them and help them as much as possible. The girls have been getting adjusted to the house and I am so happy that they get to become apart of our interesting family. Having little ones definitely changes the atmosphere of the house. We have been watching a lot more Disney channel and I have a date with one of my girls to watch Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam [I am totally stoked ^-^]
I am excited to report that I am officially a part of a bible study group. I have been wanting to get more involved in the community of my church and now that all the classes/connection groups have started up again, I can! I am really excited to meet new people who I can share with the burdens, joys, and all that comes in life. I met a new friend at church recently and it has been great getting to know her and to be able to sit in service with a familiar face. There has been sharpening that I have received as a part of growing deeper with my new friends here and I am so thankful to Abba that He provides that sharpening through others. I am so glad that He uses us to build each other up.
These past couple weeks have definitely been interesting. I feel the season of change is happening and the Lord is bringing me to a different place in Him. Last time I mentioned being challenged by certain things and realizing His love brings forth a call and response each of us make. Our response to love Him in obedience and trust is what Abba has been speaking to me about. Only now He is done speaking. When I say this I mean that what He asks of me I have now heard; He has shared with me His heart and now I am left to respond. These days have been silent and the winds of His words which were once full, rich and plainly present have become now a hunger in my heart. I long to hear words of love, but lately I noticed that the stillness is always before me. I know that He is always with me and is with me now in this silence. It is just so different. I have come to see that now the wheels come off. He has been training me, teaching me, showing me and now He is taking the training wheels off. I am to ride, to put into practice all that He has shown me knowing that He is still with me even in the silence. Knowing that what Abba has taught me I can only do in His strength, in dependance on Him- even when I cannot hear His voice of encouragement pushing me forward. He wants me to ride like never before knowing it is His strength that makes me soar through the sky. My faith is being strengthened, stretched, and pushed beyond the limits I once knew and was comfortable with. All I can say now is "Here we go!!!!!"
Be blessed dear brothers and sisters in the knowledge of His love for you
May all glory and praise be due to Him who is worthy!!
