Hello!
I was in a wedding about a week ago and it was so much fun! This was actually my first wedding I've been in. It was nerve racking at first because I wanted everything to be perfect. It's funny cause I think I was more stressed out than the bride. Haha! It turned out really nice though. But what made me nervous was a month before the wedding i found out the my dress size and the tag on the dress were two different numbers! Yikes. I called DB and they rush ordered another dress for me. Well being the procrastinator that I am, I decided to pick up my dress the day before the wedding (because at that point I knew I didn't need alterations). Well when I got my dress and took it home, the dress was way too long even with the heels I had on! SO, I ended up getting new shoes the next day and it had a higher heel so the dress didn't drag on the ground. hahaha During the reception we had fun. We gave a toast and I said a few words. I wanted to say more than what I said, but I was really nervous. =) Anyway, I'm happy for the bride and groom and I pray they keep God first in their marriage! =)

What A Glorious Day!
Hello!
Wow things have been so busy lately. let me update you on what's been going on...The weekend of Oct 24th I attended a Ladies Retreat with my church. I decided to ride with my two amazing friends to Nevada City and prepared myself to be renewed over the weekend. Friday night was fun! I checked in around 3pm and received the key to the room. A few of us tried to figure out who's room is by whom, so we can play practical jokes all night (the trick is to watch for keys lying around, then you can have a way to get into that persons room). That night we listened to our First Lady talk to us about having more of Jesus in our life and less humanity. She used a vase and put plastic balls in there, which represented our flesh, our human nature. Then she poured sand in the vase which represented Jesus and as the sand went into the vase, it covered all of the balls except a tiny bit. She said as you allow God to be in your life more and allow Him to have His way, the more people will see Jesus in you and less of humanity. It was a great message! On Saturday, after morning service, titled Fitly Joined Together, a few of us "tough" ladies went on a "hike" where we found this rope with wooden planks on them and decided to climb it! It was so scary, but we did it! After that it was time for lunch. Between free time and dinner we tried to plot how we would get some of the girls...The Saturday night evening service was the best!!! The Holy Ghost was all in that place! It was amazing. We sung and danced and shouted. A few of us ladies stayed afterward and cried and prayed with each other and we even had a healing line! We prayed individually for every person in that room. It was nice and I believe every lady who participated received a fresh touch from the Lord. What made that night even more amazing is that God told me to pray for a friend of mine next to me. I felt it so heavy on me, that I should have obeyed but then i started thinking "pray for her now?" Well right then my other friend leaned over and whispered in my ear "I'm really having a strong urge to pray for -----" I was like Thank You Jesus! I was glad she felt it too! hehehehe. Well we prayed with our friend and It felt good. I love the way God operates. =) Everyone was so full of the Holy Ghost no one played pranks that night! Haha maybe next year (although someones car somehow managed to get vandalized with silly string. I wonder who could have done that??) On Sunday the 26th of October we departed from Ladies Retreat. I feel good even now that it's over. I look foward to this event every year!
The Friday after Ladies Retreat was our Harvest Festival at church. It was so good to see kids and adults having fun in the Lord without the wearing of costumes and painted faces. In order to raise money for the Bible Quizzing, a few of us sold items at the festival. I helped out in the food area and served hotdogs, nachos, popcorn and beverages. It was fun getting all the donations, shopping for the food and serving. I kept giving away free stuff to the kids because they would look so sad while asking for something to drink. This one kids walks up and looks at the chips and then slowly walks away. How can I just stand there and let that happen?? SO i gave him a pack. =) I will do better next time, I promise. I did however, work along side a lovely women of God and I wouldn't trade that for the world! =) We had so much fun that night! I got home after 11pm after being at the church since 1pm, but it was well worth it!
Saturday, the 1st of November, I went to a bridal shower that I helped throw and it was nice. The food was good and everyone talked and had a great time. We didn't get a chance to play the games, but oh well that means more starbucks cards for me! Hehehe. That day it rained cats and dogs. my hair was a mess afterwards! oh well...
On Sunday the 2nd, we had an amazing church service. I wish my memory wasn't so bad so I can write in detail what the message was. Please pray for my memory, it's horrible! =) I'll have to update this part when I think of the complete message!Haha But the main service was about baptism and the blood.
This Saturday the 8 of Nov. there is a Bible Quizzing coach meeting in Visalia, Ca. I love being apart of bible quizzing. It's amazing to see young kids know the word of God. I tried to memorize the scriptures with them and boy! I was so far behind, i just gave up (which I do not encourage). These kids are amazing. =) I will be leaving around 6:30am, so please pray for my safe arrival. =) Okay everyone, I will be back and oh! Let us please pray for President Obama, that Jesus would go before him so that all things will be done decently and in order and according to His will. Regardless of who's president, they still need prayer! Congrats Obama, may God bless and keep you! =)
