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

Language of love

Missions trip Pila Laguna Philippines July 2nd-13th 2010 Let me tell you about my little boy Chip-Chris-Christopher (we kept mixing up his name) but he responded to all 3 of them. Chris is 9 years old. I met him for the first time in November 2007, when he was 6 years old. He is so handsome. He has the cutest smile that will melt your heart away and a lazy eye that makes him unique. Chris has as far as I know 5 or more siblings. Him and his family live in the squatter areas. I believe he is still in first grade and it's hard for the family to fund for Chris to go to school. He does not speak english very well, so it was hard to communicate with each other. Chris delights in singing and dancing, I have watched him sing worship songs with all of his heart. I would hear his voice stick out and I was very encouraged to see him still around. I pray that God will open a door for him to be used at the church in Pila Laguna called PCAT (Pila Christ Agape Tabernacle). My husband and I wen

Holy Life

I honestly believe there is a lack of pursuit of holiness in this generation. The world is definitely far from holy, and it has crept it's way in the church. Unfortunately some are being conformed by the world, rather then allowing the Holy Spirit to transform them. Evaluate your conversations in fellowships. How often does the word holy or holiness come up? It can be easy to get caught up with what's in right now, how far can I go in relationships, what can I wear that still makes me hot as a Christian? Some like to listen to secular music, because they have good beats, even though they don't glorify God.  Some love watching romance flicks, while they blatantly magnify immortality. The list can be endless of distractions. God has called us to live holy lives, not impure lives (1 Thessalonians 4:7 NLT). I have such a desire to fully understand God's holiness and what His expectation is of me as a Christian. I don't want to find myself caught up in things, that br
