Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving has to be one of my favorite days of the year, and not just because we feast like kings. I love this day because it is the day to express thankfulness! Although I believe every day we should be thankful like we are on Thanksgiving, I love having a special day set aside for special things. Just like Christmas. We should celebrate Jesus's  coming every day, but isn't it fun to have a special day set aside just for that? This time of year comes around and the feeling of thankfulness inside of me  just bubbles out. My family and friends mean the world to me. I love most of my friends as if they were my own family. I even refer to my closest friend as my sister. My family loves me when I am un-lovable, and my friends love me the same way! I believe having friends is the most important thing other than having a relationship with Christ and your family. Jesus knew how much friends would mean to me so He has blessed me with some of the most amazing people to call my friends. Even when I moved from my home to Peru He gave me friends. One thing is, I will never have to be worried about not having a true friend 24/7. Jesus is my true friend always and forever. Another thing I am thankful for is Peru. I love Peru. Now if I was to continue listing all things I am thankful for, you people reading, may never get up again. In other words, I am a very blessed person and Jesus has given me oh so much to be thankful for. 

This is a poem I wrote Thanksgiving Eve. {Thankfulness Thankfulness where do I begin?

Thankful for the air that every morning I breathe in

Thankfulness thankfulness where do I go now?

That one day in heaven before my king I shall bow

Thankfulness Thankfulness you shall never have an end 

For on this day of thankfulness greetings I do send} 

So as it says in the poem "on this day of thankfulness greetings I do send" Greetings and Happy Thanksgiving to all! May The Lord bless your day, and may you be filled with a thankfulness to last through the ages!

Hi I'm New To Blogger

I titled it Hi I'm New To Blogger because I might as well be! I haven't blogged in so long. It has been too long. So many new things have been going on. For starters I have a puppy, Wendy Darling. She is a miniature  schnauzer. I got her from my friend Gerson who lives down the street. I also now have some wonderful new friends, Marite and Diana. They just recently started coming to our church. Their family is starting a kindergarten daycare type of thing. It is called Chiquitin! You can pray for their success and the business's success. I am also going to Spanish classes. I am learning quite a bit. I am also breaking out of my shell and starting to talk without being shy. I still have a long way to go because I am quite shy when it comes to talking in a forgoing language. Who wouldn't be shy? I am so super excited about this Thursday. My friend, Marite, is coming over to learn how to make a cake and hang out. Also, her family invited the youth group of our church up to a city to spend the night and do some activities the next morning. That is on the 28th of November. A week or so ago my dad andI went to Lima. We went on a bus. An 18 hr bus ride. It was dreadful. The good news is that I got Invisalign. My teethies are gonna be all straight!! I am so loving Peru. God has answered my prayers and is giving me some good friends. Life is good.

(L to R) Cristhian, Gerson, Me, and Marite.

Our friend Cristhian. He has been out house guest for a while now. He is pretty awesome!!

1 Corinthians 13:13

Why is it "Good" Friday??

Some people wonder why today is called "Good" Friday? Why would the day that Jesus died be called good? It's good because if Jesus didn't die He wouldn't be able to resurrect on Easter! If He didn't resurrect our Faith would be in a dead God. PRAISE JESUS HE IS RISEN!!!! Our faith is in a Living God! 

Today the youth group of Calvary Chapel Refugio took a hike to the cross on top of the mountain across town! It was a blessed time!!! Amazing worship, Amazing friends, and an Amazing devotion!!! Got so many pictures!!!

Today was an amazing day!!! PRAISE JESUS HE IS RISEN!!! 

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53:5

 

Thank You Jesus For ______

Fill in the blank.....I'm thankful for my trip to the states!!! I was very blessed to get a ticket right at the last minute. If it wasn't for my dad flying back and forth from Lima to Cajamarca I wouldn't be in the states today. I was really shown, through that experience, the power of prayer. I knew some people were praying for me to get the ticket and residency papers so I could come. So I'm also very thankful for prayer and the people who prayed for me:) I have been spending most of my time with Sarah and other friends. I have gotten to go to church at CCSC 3times so far! I would say I forgot how much I loved and missed the Jr.High, but that would be a lie:/ I never forgot!!! I love my friends so much, so this trip has really been a SUPER blessing!! 

Thank you Jesus

Adventure's Out There

Just like Charles Mump said  in "Up" Adventure is out there! Yesterday (1/18/14) we went to a birthday party for a one year old.I'm still not sure why they blare the music and put soooo much into this party that she won't even remember, but it was fun anyway! I got to eat.....CUY......yes I did it! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I even got a souvenir from that birthday party. A Cuy Claw. When the food part was over I just ripped its little foot off and wrapped it up and shoved it in my purse! As much as I enjoy my new life down here, I think about my old life every day(I'm not lying). I miss all the time at the beach with my friends! I miss the sleepovers with Sarah! I miss the Jr.High and the funny faces that some would make at me during Jr.High! Overall though, I really miss my church! Jesus has been working in me though, I have found many new friends and love my new home! Yes everything's completely and totally different to the point of laughing, but I so do enjoy it down here! I would really love to see my Jr.High down here some day!! (Hint hint) 

My cuy claw

Loving and missing these peoples!!! 

Had friends over and most def. lost at UNO !! I had more than half the deck in my hand lol! 

Nuff said! 

This verse really spoke to me right before we moved....Romans5:3-5
