Therapeudic I must say!

Oh Blogger, oh blogger oh how I have missed you! It's been so, so long since I've mastered to come by and share my heart the way I totally loved doing not that long ago (but seems like ages). Ever since my involunatry break from blogger, I've realized how therapedic it's for me. I've been told that many of you have enjoyed my posts and have even been blessed which I'm so grateful because for one...it's the Lord working through me to bless you and for two you have faithful kept up with me:D But honestly I feel that blogging has benefited me the most because it's allow me to rejoice over my triumphs and blessings as well as humbly come before the Lord during my trials. Either way I'd laid on my heart on these posts which now it serves as a window. A window that I can see through as much as I need and see the Lord's hand all over my life.

I am going to make a major attempt to start blogging again! I've missed it, it was part of my "me" time...a time I truly and it's Therapeudic!!!! I hope you continue to follow me on this thing called "life". I also hope to once again follow your blogs and be immensely blessed the way I was..not too long ago!

God bless you my sweet blogger friends!

Susan is hopefully back!!!!!

May I Say That I Love This? I Know..It's My Nerdy Side!

I found this new feature on a website I tend to visit from time to time and it totally made me smile. For many people...this is not a big deal, boring and even lame for for those of us (I know I'm not the only one) who are pretty much get a natural high from learning new words it's a work of art! Every time I run into a word I don't know the meaning of, I rush to look it up in the dictionary. I even doing while reading my Bible which is something so neat because it allows me to fully understand what the Lord is saying. Confession: I do have a small dictionary in the top drawer of my nightstand! Ready to be use at an arm's reach lol. I'm fascinated with learning...guess I take the phrase "you learn something new every day" at heart hahaha! Not sure if it has something to do with English being my second language and me wanting to become even better with it or that I simply enjoy learning! It has helped me with my poetry tremendously and when I write! Who doesn't like to throw in a big word once in a while;)

Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover

We've all heard the phrase huh? It's almost always if not always referred to a person and their true, inner character right? Well in my case, I am literally referring to a book but not just any book. I'm referring to the Bible, my precious Bible! I love how the Lord is constantly speaking to my heart and whispers sweet words in my ear even when I am not deserving of them. Which if we think about it...it's always since we had a different destiny but Jesus changed that permanently! Well, after many failed attempts to read my Bible on a daily basis, I always notice something very neat. When I am reunited with my precious, faithful, loving friend my Bible, I always hear the Lord telling me to simply take a good look at it. You see, Satan is always trying to discourage us from reading God's Word because this would be a huge threat to him. Satan even tries to distract us right before opening the Bible....uggghhhh what an ugly creature:\ BUT the Lord is always ready to fight for us and I've seen this in my life. As I am reunited with my good ol friend, I am reminded that we've had a long lasting friendship, that WE HAVE spent many, many hours together, that our time together wasn't a waste of time, that my faithful friend waits to see me come around again even if it takes months, that it's eagerly waiting to bless my life with wisdom, joy, peace and love and that it fights hard to hang on to stay by my side even if it's falling apart. That's right....falling apart! This is what I mean by not judging a book by it's cover:


From the shelf, the coffee table, the back seat of my car and even at church it looks almost like a brand new Bible huh? (aise fromt he faded letters)




Yet you begin to open it and can't help but notice it's not what it seemed like. It's been USED! The writing, the notes, the scripture and the UNGLUED and even fallen pages. Many choose not to write in their Bibles but I have and still do. It works for me! I loved looking through my Bible today at church and realizing the miles it has. Even though it looks old, it's falling apart, it has ripped pages, it's beautiful to me because it's mine from the Lord. It has also stood by my side for many years, it has helped me survive many storms, it has absorbed many tears (both happy and sad), it has even made me smile through those tears and it has loved me just as I am! Oh how I love this old, weary book<3













It is beautiful to me, my gift from the Lord!!!

Just For Laughs: School

"Oh homework, oh homework
I hate you, you stink
If only a bomb
would explode you to bits
Oh homework, oh homework
I hate you, you stink"

Wow...not very nice huh? hahaha.

Believe it or not that is a poem I read duing the morning announcements at school when I was in 5th grade. Sounds like someone didn't like school huh? Pretty strange for a girl who loved school so much she went all the way as to graduate college. This doesn't make sense at all :}

We were televised for the entire school to see and it was my turn to read a poem. You see, we would take turns doing various jobs such as work the camera, say the weather ect. It was my class's turn and when it came my turn to read a poem....I chose this one? I remember this day as if it were yesterday. I was an A, B student loved school, was very diligent, took school matters very seriously, hardly missed a day, loved a great challenge otherwise known as test...except when it came to math..which is not my cup of tea but I can do it if I put my mind to it. Why oh why this poem??? lol. I can totally see my teacher Mr. T's face thinking, "oh no...not one of my best students. What is she thinking? What is she doing? After all the time I've invested on her? I hope the Principal's not watching. Uggghhh there goes my reputation and maybe even my job" hahaha! I ask myself from time to time..."why that poem?" I mean ya have to admit it is funny but not very loving and def not the best message. Specially coming from someone who loved school. The only thing I can think of is...I wanted to be cool hahaha! Honestly, it felt weird reading that poem but it got me out of my comfort zone that's for sure.

On that note...I was always into school. I loved a good challenge. Have never cheated on a test (even though my hubby cant believe it lol) because I wanted to prove to myself that I was very capable of passing my tests..all by myself. I loved learning and loved to shared what i learned. I see my hubby doing hw now and it gives me the urge to want a challenge lol. Manuel thinks I'm crazy but some of us are created with the passion for books. Ooooh boy...does this make me a nerd? I better look for another "cool" poem lol j/k. I loved the process of preparing for a test..I had a system pat down to helped me get straight A's. Unfortunately that system didn't come to me right away but when it did...I was on fire...Aced every single class from there on in college;D Let me tell you though that I don't get the credit...God gets ALL the glory because I did go through several trials where I could in college where I could have given up yet the Lord helped me stay focused and succeed! It's unbelievable that during one of the hardest times in my life including almost loosing my dad to cancer....the Lord lifted me up and helped me graduate college with Highest Honors 3.7 GPA as a Clinician Medical Assistant. Now THAT is God!!!!

So...there is it...btw...I do LOVE homework and if you want to know where I got this wonderful poem..it's from one of my fav books..."There's A Light In The Attic"

Below are a few pics of my special day:




Yeah!!!! What an accomplishment;D



It felt so good to share this important event in my life with wonderful friends....that row of beautiful women in my life!



with my beautiful husband who has been there through thick-n-thin and has always lovingly supported my dreams and aspirations. He was my #2 fan (God was my #1) and cheered me on! I love him soooooo much;D



With my amazing friends who were there for moral support and loved on me<3

Disney...Had a Magical Day!

A couple of weeks ago, we noticed the weather was very nice..sunny with a cool breeze and decided to go for a walk. We headed over to Downtown Disney also known as Disney's Marketplace. The company I worked for Arribas Bros. (crystal shop) has a store here (and 4 others in the parks). The downtown Disney store is where I worked my first 2 1/2 years in the company. Downtown Disney is pretty much where you can go shopping for Disney merchandise, they have many stores. You can also dine there at places such as Rainforrest Cafe and Wolf Gang Puck,Fulton Crab House, Planet Hollywood and Gloria Estefan's Bongos. you can visit the many outdoor vendors, ride a lil boat, watch a movie, dance the night away, grab some ice cream, watch a concert at House of Blues, building a castle at Legoland or buy music cd's at Virgin Records. There's something for everyone! We went into the store I worked, it had been a long time and was happy to recognize alot of the employees! They all worked with me. Coolest thing was to take my daughter to the store I worked at as a teen anger! It was truly a beautiful day outside. We missed the big thunderstorm thank God and enjoyed great music, sugary pretzels yum, refreshing lemonade and a warm hot dog! We also got to goof around at the World of Disney store trying on hats...something I always envisioned doing with my family! Our day turned out amazing which by the way....was not planned! I am becoming more spontaneous something I've picked up from my husband and I'm loving it! We ended the day with a delicious meal at Sweet Tomatoes! Didn't spend a whole lot and yet our day was fantastic! When you make the best of every thing you find yourselves truly best!

Here's a few pictures of our wonderful adventure....














This is ow much she loves Minnie<3 I won this in one of those machines that you put a quarter and have to move the "arm" around to hopefully grab something. Funny thing is....I said it would be for my daughter when I would have one and didn't know I was already pregnant...and expecting girl!!!

She Is A Natural

One of the beauties of being a female is not only of being blessed with the privilege of carrying life inside our womb but also being blessed with milk to nourish our babies. Well looks like a lil someone is very aware of the role she will be laying one day Lord-wiling and decided to get a head start.....

She grabs her baby by the hand...

ARE YOU HER?????

I am talking about the virtuous woman in the Bible...the Proverbs 31 or P31 like some call her. I've always wanted to know what "she" looks like. When I dove into the word Proverbs 31 to be exact I was amazed at how well the Bible describes her. I've also wanted to focus on one thing at a time and really try to master it so little by little, I can look like her. Imagine if we could answer yes to all the questions above...what a beauty that would be! Many of us posses some and even alot of those qualities. Those we lack we should try to work hard at achieving and those we have but stumble upon from time to time we should try to keep permanently. God wants us to be christ like and as well as the Proverbs 31. Knowing that us women likes descriptive words He left us an amazing example of what we shoudl aim for. I encouragement you to join me in trying to work towards that goal! I guarantee you that you'll reap many blessings through your efforts with the biggest being more like God!
