with soapy dishes & salvation

 Only three days into homeschooling two 7th graders and 3 Kindergarteners, I'am exhausted by 7pm completely drained and ready for bed. But the night is young and I need to catch up with Milton's day and watch some TV together. And actually have an uninterrupted adult conversation. The morning alarm is usually the sound of children running up and down the stairs and yelling out for each other. There's no time for waking up stretching and having a nice hot cup of coffee in a quiet corner, its time to hit the floor running.

A few days ago I had mentioned to Milton and my sister Andrea that I was SCARED for Monday to start, cause I didn't know what I was getting into. But, even in that I knew it was going to be ok and I couldn't quit before starting. God had defiantly told us this was what He wanted us to do for this season in our lives. So here we go.

Today as we had our worship music playing and I was doing dishes in between teaching, the girls worked on school. Ezekiel was doing a puzzled and kept stoping and asking questions. Does God only live in your heart or in heaven too? Is he is the sun? What does His real skin look like? Is He a cloud? As the questions kept coming I would have answers like..."He lives in heaven and one day when you are ready you can ask Him to come in your heart forever. You can't see Him but He's everywhere and He lives past the sun, the clouds, the stars and here with us. One day you can ask him in your heart." 

As I'am trying to get ahead on house work the questions keep coming and the HOLY SPIRIT stops me and reminds me. ''This is why you're staying home with them, if he's asking you these questions he is ready he understand the message of the cross and whats to take the step into salvation" 

I called for Ezekiel and asked him to tell me everything he had asked me earlier. After he did, right there in a sink full of soapy dishes and a soaked Momma 6 days before tuning 6 my EZEKIEL JIREH asked Jesus into his heart to be his Lord and Savior. My heart is full of joy and excitement, I didn't remember that we started the morning with a rush or that I've had restless nights and that sometimes I feel overwhelmed I just know that I was there with my baby when he made the most beautiful declaration of faith. These are the moments that make everything worth it!

Tonight we will celebrate with cake and ice-cream along with the angels !!!!!!  


Luke 15:10  In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

In the slow lane

It's said that a mother's job is never done no weekends or holidays off. 24/7 all year round. Meetings,Doctor's appointments,school projects,groceries,laundry,meals,and the list goes on.... After years in the fast lane and none stop speeding you get to a point where you run into the slow lane.  No matter how many kisses and snuggles you get it doesn't change the fact that your body is feeling the effects of running on 4 hrs of sleep and the lack of caffeine.No energy left and the house looking like a tornado just crossed through it.Just the thought of the many things that need to be done exhaust you even more. The daily routine becomes a norm and you realize that you have taken the load on yourself and that the people that care for you want to give you a little push and help you carry the load but you don't know how to ask for the help or even let go and accept the help.  How do you let go? How do you ride the slow lane? How do accept a lending  hand?   Lord It'...

And her heavy load

25 days ago I started jogging/walking to check the mail,in the evenings. Which is 1/4 of a mile from the house. I jog/walk all the way down and another 1/4 mile to a turn around circle at the end of our street,and walk back home on an incline driveway. It’s my“me time”at the of the day, it challenges me to finish what I started. Every evening I get to run along side a momma deer and her baby. I’ve set 6 weight goals,reach my 1st and one lbs away from my 2nd goal. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done,because I love to be in the comfort of my home,love my food and my AC. 7 years ago I had a VSG (vertical sleeve gastronomy ) done a TOOL to help with weight loss,not the solution but a tool.After a year I reached my goal weight ,and got comfortable and started back on old non healthy habits,this caused half of the weight to come back on.The struggle is real weight loss surgery is not the easy way out ,specially when you have complications after surgery.It’s just a jump start to ge...

with a broken heart

4 years ago Huela Marta lost her battle to cancer only 6 months after being diagnosed.I can still remember the day we took her into the Urgent care for a bad toothache she had and being told she had a walking pneumonia,I remember the day she was at the hospital because she wasn't getting better and the oncologist coming in and so very sweetly and caring delivered the big C news.Us having to translate to her what it meant and her nodding her head saying "OK,OK" we could tell in her face she thought she was going to do treatment and be ok.But,we knew that stage 4 at her age of 82 was not looking good. I remember her making the best of those months before she got really sick.I spent the last week with her and help take car of her,she fought to the very end we ate together talked laugh, cried and reminisced on all the good times we had together.  She loved her family seeing us happy made her happy.Time hasn't made her absence any easier when I see my little ones running a...
