It's been a while

I can't believe how fast time flew. My last post was in September 2013. Clearly I was super occupied being a mommy and juggling the wifey duties and supporting my hubby in the ministry. 

What has been going on? 

I remember around that time starting sleep training with Canaan, which I will write a seperate post for that. That was a whole other challenging experience in itself, but so worth it at the end. 

The ministry is thriving and lots of exciting things are happening. Some days I have my moments where I want to be more involved, but for now I accept my role and responsibility in raising up my little disciple #Canaantheconqueror and contribute as much as possible to the ministry behind the scenes. 

Canaan's 1st birthday was so much fun, despite the crazy stomach flu that knocked about 25+ people out including me. The struggle was mad real :-/.

And guess what, right after Canaan's birthday we found out that we were pregnant again!!!! Wow, what a surprise. I had to laugh when I saw the preggo test. Of course we were super crazy busy with retreat planning, name change for the ministry, searching for a home, moving, renovating etc. it was a crazy but also a fun new season for us. 

Another lovely surprise...WE ARE HAVING A GIRL!!!!

Here I am today at 38W and 4D of pregnancy, waiting patiently for Baby Zoe to make her debut. Please wait little baby girl until my midwife is back from vacation. My due date is Feb. 19th. so we have a few more days to go.

Well just wanted to pop in and give a little update. Wow it is 2015. Where has the time gone. Love you all!

Live, love and laugh

Look what the Lord has done

Jesus you have brought me this far... Let's back track 4 1/2 years ago. I moved to NYC in May 2006 to pursue modeling. I had an agency in Miami, Chicago and NYC. I moved to Harlem were I had 2 roommates. Little did I know the 140 block seemed to be a hot one, where drug transactions would be a daily thing. About a month later I had a photo shoot with Essence Magazine. One of the models was a Christian and invited me to the Brooklyn Tabernacle. I was already in search for a church, what a perfect timing. In June 2006 I was at a crossroad and said no to the world and gave my life to Jesus, hallelujah! At the present time I was modeling and worked as a waitress at a Coffee and juice spot called Society. In January 2007 I became an assistant manager at Society the coffee shop. On September 2007 me and my friend Kathleen were invited to the Transitions young adult Retreat. I was already going to BT for a bout a year, but weren't really connected at the church. After the ...

A Wife of Noble Character

I started of the year by studying Proverbs 31:10-31. What a tremendous blessing and true example of a great wife, a wonderful mother and passionate women of God. I have learned many valuable lessons and received great reminders, which I can’t wait to apply. Proverbs 31:10-31 10 Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies. 11 Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 She finds wool and flax and busily spins it. 14 She is like a merchant’s ship, bringing her food from afar. 15 She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day’s work for her servant girls. 16 She goes to inspect a field and buys it; with her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. 18 She makes sure her dealings are profitable; her lamp burns late into the night.   19 Her hands are busy spinning thread,...

Humility

Dear Jesus, One word that describes my theme for this year, one word I made my goal to reach this year, one word I have struggled to maintain for so long, one word that is the desire of my heart, one word that reflects my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! This one word is: HUMILITY In other words: Lack of pride, meekness, lack of vanity, submissiveness, humbleness... Humility is a modest or low view of one's own importance (Dictionary) Proverbs 15:33 - The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is HUMILITY I recently read the book " Humility " by Andrew Murray and I was greatly challenged. I began to realize more and more the need for God's grace, to teach me His wonderful and most powerful gift of humility . In my little understanding, I believe that all sin begins with pride. Oh how easy pride can sneak it's way into our hearts. Pride is the opposite of humility . Without God and the power of His Holy Spirit, it is impossible to at...
