Second Week of July!

Howdy howdy howdy! Another week gone by! I was typing in the word "week" at my job hundreds of times, and after a while, it started to look like it was spelled wrong!! This happens to me all the time. When I look at a word too much, I question its spelling! I worked a bit overtime these past couple of days and we had a power outage in our center so I was put to manual labor! I am thoroughly pooped! Not a lot of pictures this week either!

Giving Thanks:
-It is always a good time for me to hang out with Danny and Jose. 2 DAYS IN A ROW! We learned, read a chapter aloud from The Holiness of God, shared thoughts and laughs. I am thankful for brothers in both of them! There were a couple of things that caught us in awe from the chapter. What I had a difficult time doing was answering the question "When have you been comforted by God's holiness?" What?!!! I feel I have always been convicted or fearful.. but comforted? I am looking out for that more now. The book is crazy and I need to read it fully to share with yall!

-We celebrated Grace's 23rd birthday at Niko Niko. I treasure our friendship and knowing she is one of Jose's best friends! She encourages me in my faith, pouring wisdom into me, and when we get together, it is never enough time! Happy to see the whole cicc gang together!
-I am most honored to be able to help out with Kat's wedding preparation. She is Jose's longest and greatest friends and he is in Tony's wedding party!! I am giddy that he is giddy! We ate at Young Dongs and enjoyed the yummy food and company!
-Yesterday I was able to get back at my pilates! Oh how I've missed the ab hurtin-booty pinchin-arm achin workout! It is great to be back at it trying to remain healthy and in shape!

Prayer Requests:
-My dear sister is sick! All of a sudden too! We planned to see a concert this Saturday and hopefully she is better by then! Otherwise the mother swoops in singing songs she has never listened to before -_- Please pray for healing and energy ASAP and pray she sees her need for Jesus Christ! On that note, my entire family's need!
-My friend Tori is in Malawi! She is serving others, being bold for the sake of the gospel, singing her soul with everyone and being able to worship God:) Please pray God sustains her, Holy Spirit moves and uses her, and Jesus is her hope and is worthy of all the glory. Rebuke the enemy so that he is left out completely!
-My friends Tony and Kat glorifying Christ at their ceremony and in their marriage. That Tony is a great leading man, submissive to Jesus, gentle and kind towards Kat. That Kat is submissive to Tony and has self control and faithfulness!
-Pray that I am able to meditate more often and intentionally on scripture. May it be ingrained into my heart so that fruits of gentleness, faithfulness, and self control will be overflowing! This week Jude was great for me. v 20-23 "But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh"
