My mom sent me a text a couple of days ago reminding me of the time when I was about 3-4 years old, we would ride the bus downtown, go to my mom’s favorite store, go to their cafeteria and eat a hotdog at end before going back home. I used to sing hymns on … Continue reading Choose Joy
I came across a quote from Joan of Arc a couple days ago, it said “I am not afraid... I was born to do this.” Before we were even conceived, God already had a plan for us to be born and a path for us to follow. When I realized my God given purpose though, … Continue reading God Given Purpose
I was reading my devotional this morning, and it talked about giving grateful praise to God for everything good we have received, and then I read Psalm 100. I could spend all day telling you about each blessing we have gotten from God, but something else came to my mind when reading my Bible. The … Continue reading A reason, a season or a lifetime
I cannot say 2018 was a bad year, but I'm glad it's over. I must say 2018 was so much better than 2017 though! I am so excited that 2019 finally got here because it brings a fresh start to so many things. During 2018 the kid and I came to realize so much, a … Continue reading A FRESH START
These last few weeks have been quite uplifting, if you could say that. This year has been hard on my kid since we lost Nike, added to losing Zoe a couple years ago, and Richard almost 6 years ago.

The kid is 8 years old now, and what he needs now is somewhat different this year than a few years ago. Yesterday I shared what I packed with a dad … Continue reading Carry-on Packing for Kids

Our story has lots of prayers, lots of storms and a … Continue reading The day of the birth
This past weekend we attended to a destination wedding in South Padre Island, TX. One of my cousins on my dad’s side was getting married so family and friends got together to celebrate. My dad flew up to San Antonio and then we drove down for the weekend. This was a chance for me and … Continue reading Getting together with the family
Last week our Nike passed away. It was time to let him go. Nike’s health had been declining in the last few months, but a couple Sundays ago we realized it was time. Both the kid and I had not done any hospice so to speak in our home before. Both Richard and Zoe’s passing … Continue reading A grieving kid
Family traditions are a thing for a lot of families. Even before I got married, when I used to daydream about one day having my own family, I wanted to have traditions with my husband and kids one day. Well, when the husband and I got married, we started our traditions, then when the kid … Continue reading Our Sunday thing
