Mostly personal trials but in encountering them I see my sin of pride and control. I also see my sin of lacking trust in my Heavenly Father. Read Isaiah 40, Psalm 37 & 16. I was convicted in seeing that I was getting my hope from the wrong places/people and that is why my hurt was heightened. I have to be able to let go of my control and grip on those I care about and let them have their space. I need to love more sacrificially and unconditionally. May Jesus be a complete molder of my actions thus going forward. In all this midst, I am THANKFUL i have redemption in my Savior Christ who will work in these situations for the ultimate good and for my endurance. It was funny, I was asking God for trials because I wanted that desperate affection for Him again, and here it comes. I was like WHYYY but now i see it as AHHH this is good. Pray that I will take heart!!!
Giving Thanks (& there are MANY):
-For zumba and time with Marika and our 30 min catch up sesh:)
-Being able to talk with my sister about life and preparing her to leave for Hawaii
-For dinner with PJ & Frances. although it was chaotic that day with new baby ARI being born to Yek and Reese, they still cooked for us and poured wisdom into us both! Loved seeing the lessons being taught to their kids in a multitude of ways to Lord willing grow them into lovers of Jesus!
-For conversations with my church family Danny and Praise who will call me, listen to the aches of my heart, and point me to Christ so that my hope is in none by Him!
-For being able to help out my dad's company after my work- so he doesnt have too much pressure on him. He does plenty for this family :) We were able to enjoy time together with Jose at Pieology (my pops has never been there !) i always love showing him new food. he loooves food! It was soo funny giving him his birthday present which if you didnt see on my instagram- DUCK CALL. from duck dynasty! haha

Prayer Requests:
-For God to be my ROCK in my trials. If it is His will, for there to be quick reconciliation. If it is not His will to be reconciliation, may I cling to Him even more.
-For God to save my family from their sins and that they hear the gospel ASAP and faith comes through that!
-For me to be more in my reading, prayer, and enjoying the Lord by resting.
-For Jose and I to realize we are two selfish people and if we fully yield to God with all weve got, we are able to love one another more than ourselves.
