Good Friends
" Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble." Ecc. 4:9-10
Yesterday Night was girls night with some of my very best friends! Vanessa the one pictured in the middle (sorry boys shes taken haha) came home from LU on springbreak! And we are so glad to have her home! It was a great excuse for all of us to hang out...nothing exciting we went to Pei Wei and were the loudest ones in the place but we had such a wonderful time! Laughing, Joking, just being girls with not a boy in site! As i thought about it i realized how refreshing it is to have good girl friends! Especially ones that are such wonderful God fearing Women! ;)
We are all at a transational stage in our lives some of us are getting married and moving to another state (nana), some are in grad school (me) and some are just graduating college...and though our lives can get chaotic its great to have friends that i can just have fun with and laugh with and be me. i know these girls will do anything for me and i hope when were old ladies we will still be able to have our dinners out, and still be the loudest ones there. Even if it means flying somewhere haha
My heart gets happiest on nights like these when i can just be myself around friends that love me and will laugh at my dumb jokes haha. I have truly been blessed for all the wonderful friendships that God has put into my life especially these friends...they hold a special place in my heart and bring much joy and happiness to my heart!
So i was thinking If i had to compare us to something it would so be the movie the sisterhood of the traveling pants : we laugh, were spontanous, we have sad moments but were always there even if its just giving each other a hug, and i know we will be lifelong friends, and instead of passing around jeans we will be passing around a big book =)
And like the verse above said if i didn't have these girls there would be times i would be in lots of trouble! Because they have reached out and helped me many times and for that i am thankful! And to all my other friends i love you also and you bring much joy as well! don't think i didn't forget about you ;)
"But friendship is precious, not only in the shade, but in the sunshine of life; and thanks to a benevolent arrangement of things, the greater part of life is sunshine."

Waiting...
Today while i was waiting at the dermatologist and grew rather impatient with every minute after my appointment time i began to think of the concept of waiting and how we sometimes well most of the time hate waiting. I tried to be as patient as possible knowing that this office takes a zillion years but after the game got old i moved to check my email and than the email got old so i went on you tube and that got old and finally i decided to observe other people's impatience as well. I noticed that the longer amount of time that went on the angier people would get and they would come and complain and yell at the nurse receptionist. I also noticed that longer people had to wait the more restless they became and every little thing seemed to bother than like the air conditioning or the crying babies or even that the exit was to far ....stuff they never had notice before. I also observed that the longer people had to wait the more people they would rally for there complaining campaign and quickly would have several people complaining with them. At first none of these things bothered me but the longer i waited the more agitated i became and the more agitated i became the more i wanted to rally with the complaining campaign. I finally was called after an hour of waiting and when i finally got into the room i was once again left alone for awhile at first i began to get irrated but than i started to think of the notion of waiting.
Why is it that we hate waiting so much? I thought about myself not just in the waiting room but other times like at the bank when someone takes a million years at the teller or in line at publix or even on 1-75 when the person is driving slow as can be...or even more importantly in my walk with God...i hate to wait for anything or anyone but where the heck is the fire why the race to get so far so quick? i mean isn't it true that waiting on God's best anything can get old after awhile especially when it doesn't come right when we want it...at first we get angry and complain to God and yell and scream "come on God where the heck is my (u fill in the blank)!!!" Our prayers are filled with impatience and bitterness as to why we haven't recieved what we wanted. Than after we scream at God for awhile. We begin to complain about everything "so and so got a new job and i didn't! I've been asking for one forever." or "so and so got a husband and i'm still waiting God" so much that our focus now becomes not waiting on God's best but that God hasn't pulled through for us! After we've gotten angry and complained we begin to drag people down with us " Oh yeah i'm sure were never going to get a job God stinks." or " You know what so and so got so not fair what about us!" We act like if we do these things What we want will come faster but actually it comes at the same time which is Gods time! and we waste all this time, energy and stress into worrying and being impatient that we totally miss why God has us waiting for and his perfect planning skills. Waiting doesn't have to be a bad thing in fact it's not a bad thing its a time to enjoy the time you have and just take it slow and relax and just think. God doesn't have us wait to punish us but so that we can use our waiting time wisely. So whenever you begin to grow impatient on waiting on God just rem. to relax and think about why God whats you to wait and enjoy that time of peace!

What's my age again?
Okay so today i was looking through some pictures and i totally found these amusing videos of Argentina! See i went to argentina on a missions trip this summer. It was great to just sit here and have a good laugh of us being totally retarded. The last night we stayed in Junin, Argentina we decided to act like high schoolers literally! We pranked every single one of the rooms our friends were staying in...if you have never stayed in a south american country the room's electricty is controled by sticking your room key in a slot by the front door...so we went around to peoples rooms and pulled out the key and slammed the door shut so that it would be pitch black with no electricty (we found this hilarious!) if thats not enough i got a fairly bright idea to do something called olympic bed jumping! What's olymic bed jumping you ask? See since me and my roomate were lucky enough to have the room at the end of a long hallway we thought it would be wise to run allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way down the hall onto the bed and form some kind of creative jump! It was a great experience and these videos capture three differnet jump performances! Mine, Vanessa my roommate (partner in crime) and Laz a marine (which is cheating because they have to jump alot!) i must tell you that this was one of the best nights ever! It was great to just be a crazy kid again...haha We eventually had to stop because we didn't realize it but our running down the hall was causing the whole hotel to shake. Ah good times! Sometimes its great to just have fun and be carefree and act like a kid again and just live some of our moments like that! What's life for if we can't enjoy it! Sorry their are no sound on the videos but my camera has no sound haha...but enjoy and hope it gives u insight as to how crazy i can be!

I heart my Parents!
Ah...Parents they are the ones who give us life, make us happy, makes us cry, make us mad at times, other times they makes us go crazy, they just know how to embrass us but deep down inside we love them! And thats just how i feel about my mom and dad. Obivously you know i'm an only child so my relationship with my parents is beyond close...i love them dearly and enjoy spending time with them. (not just when they take me out to eat) This weekend however i spent alot of time with them. I learned that "cubans can't take the cold because they are from cuba" lol thanks dad, My mom doesn't know how to work the visor in her car (which was good for a long laugh when she almost hit herself with it), My dad gets in trouble alot haha (well only when he messes up my moms car), and that i have the best parents! I know i have said this many times but i'm so going to say it again. I am truly thankful for my mom and dad. I know people tell me all the time and i joke and say "well you don't have to live with them haha" but i am truly thankful for them. They are both beautiful people, who love the Lord so much and have such a passion for lost souls it's contagious! From there example and love, care and support has made me who i am today and who i would like to be in the future! My parents enjoy loving on people and giving of whatever they have...to whomever. Which i find to be so wonderful and i love that about them!
Today just being in the career i am in i see so many broken families and i see the hurt and pain family members and children go through...it breaks my heart. I wish that they can have what i've had my whole life a wonderful family filled with love. And seeing those things makes me even more thankful for my parents and the amazing people they are and that they love jesus so much and both have such a passion for Christ and what to serve him in anyway possible. Spending time with them is so wonderful because they are actually funny and make me laugh and i always enjoy our talks about ministry and hearing where there heart is at...its so wonderful! I love the way they are with each other and i hope one day to be like that with my husband! =) i love my parents! And if u don't know them you should because they are funny, talkative, loving, caring people!
