Family and Friends

So this last week was amazing! We were able to have family and friends come out to visit us this last week. This was a much needed thing for us. It felt so good to see well known and well loved faces. First of all my wonderful mother in law and sister in law came out and spent time with us which meant so much. I am truly blessed to have married into such a wonderful family. As the years go on I more and more appreciate God bringing them into my life. I really got to spend some time with my sister in law Armina. This was probably one of the best parts. Being that she lives in Pasadena, CA we dont get to see each other much nor do we get to talk on the phone much due to the demands of our busy lives. I am going to make an effort for that to change...I love my lil sis!!

The kids were so exausted from our late nights up. My friends Raquel, Jessica and Victoria all came out too. We attended a Womens in the Prophetic Conference out here at IHOP. But as Raquel said the most fun and memorable times will be the "parties" we had at the house.

We are now getting back to the normal schedule but I just cant stop thinking about what an amazing time we had. We are so thankful that God was able to use us and our children to minister to our friends and family. To just enjoy each other and see God move in our hearts and forever change areas on our lives. The women went home saying they will never be the same!

My kids really stepped out this weekend and used the gifts that God has given them. They were praying for people and even giving prophetic words and drawing amazing pictures that the Lord gave them. We are so proud of our wonderful kids and to be there parents. We are constantly reminded of this being the best move we could have ever made!

Weather is crazy out here...

So there is so many things to catch up on. First of all even though it has been pretty cold the fall colors are soooo beautiful. That alone makes me happy. I really have enjoyed it. So it went from like 40's during the day and one night down to the 20's but now back in the 70's. So just trying to go with the flow. I'm so scared for the snow though!

I was able to take some amazing pictures in our backyard and thought I would share them.

They just remind me that God gave us all of these beautiful scenes for us to always remember who He is and how much He loves us. I mean think about it...if He didnt love us then He would have not given us such amazing things to look at. I admit to being one that has taken advantage of what is around me and not enjoyed it to its fullest. Well I am making it a point to not do that anymore. I mean how amazing is just the landspace in our backyard!!

There is just so many amazing things that are going on out here and so much that is happening to our hearts. We are so moved by God's plans for us and how He wants to use us. We are in our 5th week of our internship and have loved it. Even though it is time consuming and sometimes really rough to stay on schedule we have continually had grace to get it done.

We love and miss you all so much!!

Wow....

So we are entering our 3rd week of our internship...can we say intense! We literally are working, in class or the prayer room 6 days a week. Well it is for sure keeping us busy and the kids are enjoying it more and more. I thought...or at least my number one stress was that this may exhaust the kids or turn them totally off to the prayer room or what we are doing. But it has really done the opposite! Elijah everyday even on our day off asks me over and over is it time for him to go to his class?! He loves it and is learning so much! His teachers are completely in love with him! He has came home these last weeks knowing more scriptures then I ever thought imaginable! His lil heart is so filled up with the joy of God.

As I kissed him goodnight the other night he tells me...Momma do you know that God doesn't kiss us with His mouth? I said yes...what does He kiss us with baby? He tells me, He kisses us with His words!! I was in tears that how deep for him to recognize that and use it in context to his surroundings! The girls also have just blossomed. They lay hands on other kids and adults and pray for break through in there hearts and for healing! How awesome is that!? They have made so many lil friends. They are truly happy and seeking Jesus on there own not just by our leading.

We are learning so much. There is something so deep going on in our hearts. So many questions in our hearts are being answered. It is nothing we have ever truly experienced. Our hearts are so tender right now to the ways of God. I am learning how God truly loves us and wants nothing but the best for us. Not that I didn't know that in my mind, but I now feel it in my heart. I could go on and on...if you want to hear more just call me! lol

The kids have also been excited about some new stuff too...I gave Elijah a well over due trim and Keilani and Kamia got lil hair cuts. Kiana of course doesn't want anyone touching her head. She likes her hair long...
