God Gives Us The Strength to Finish the Race

Wow...what can I say! Baby sitting (I dont like to say that because two of them are teenagers, so lets use watching)watching them has been just amazing. There is never a dull moment. I am learning that in order to watch the kids, you have got to have a little kid in you! The kids have been amazing! God has me here for a reason. Wether it be for Him to teach me something or for me to teach them something.

One thing that I am learning is that strength comes from God. Today I just started my first day of school! Yeah I have to admitt I was tierd, but God has given me the strenght to get through the day and I am so thankful. You know God is always watching out for His children and I am so thankful.

Well its 10:53pm and Its time for bed. Thank you God for this day an hopefully tomorrow can blog more!

Mission:Possible

OK. So sometime last week (I think it was Sunday), I was asked by a member in my church, if I was willing to watch her kids while she and her husband went on a cruise. I have to admit...I was totally nervous. Nervous you say? Why? Well because in total, I would be watching her 8 kids. I told her I would talk to my parents about it and they said it was ok. At first I was like there is absolutely no way Jose I could do this. That's a huge family. Dumb ole me forgot that I also come from a big family with 8 kids in it. To me its not the same. You see I am the third youngest out of 8 so there was no need for me to be watching anyone. It was more of the older ones watching us.

I kept trying to remember was there anytime I had to watch 8 kids by myself? Yes!!!! Yes there is. When my sister got married, I had to watch all my nieces and nephews(6 of them) and then some other kids that were there. It wasn't hard at all. That though gave me a peace of mind.

You know I kept praying and praying about it. I prayed that this would be the right thing to do. It made me nervous because I have to work, and also go to school and then watch them. But you know what? I kept thinking to myself, through everything that will be going on in my life, this could be away for God to teach me patience, or relying on Him for strength. So many lessons can come from this.

So...this afternoon will start Mission: Possible. For you see, "For with God, all things are possible..."

Day by Day

Something that God has really been teaching me this past year and this upcoming year, is taking it one day at a time! There are so many times I freak all because Im not sure whats going to happen in two days or I dont know whats going to happen in the future, But you know what? God does. God does because He is my creator. What I am learning is, instead of looking to far down the future, look at the day that you are in. Look at the day that God has given you, and focus on how you can serve Him. Yes, there are days I do forget to do that, but God always shows me some way or some how, that my focus is not Him and needs to be.When we start to "freak" out about our future and what is in store for us in our life, thats when we need to turn to God and sask Him what Hiswll is for ur lives today! Lets take it slowy. Better yetm lets take it day by day=)
