Third Week of August!

This week was a bit tiring for me. I am feeling worn out, and not as joyful, trusting, or loving. God is certainly working out trials in my life to help me depend on His faithfulness. Praise God for that.

Giving Thanks
-For giving me energy to do all sorts of random errands this week. a night in my pops office to help with work, grabbing all my family's forgotten goods, bank trips, cookie butter trips, ikea trips, post office trips. I was glad to do everything! I cant believe I survived!

-For my job letting me have another week off to go on this vacation. It was sweet of them to allow this before even hiring me.
-For another consistent week of zumba with my girl marika! :) we enjoyed that class!!!!
-For Ruby welcoming Pam and myself over to her beautiful homey home! She cooked us mexican style pizza, and we talked, discussed chapter 1 of excellent wife, and prayed for one another! LOVE THEM.
-For beautiful skies during the day and night. This week every day I kept telling someone- DUDE LOOK AT THE SKY RIGHT NOW. the three things I enjoy most about creation are skies, animals, and flowers! i mean come on look at these!!

-For a Disneyland date with my sweet boyfriend. He knows I am going through a hard time and we were going through ruckus as he seems to have misplaced his pass, but his patience, constant grace towards me, his ability to trust God for us and when I am hurting is such a big blessing.

-For great conversations and dinner at Coconut Bay with other Crossview couples :) We enjoyed sharing stories and eating delicious Thai food!

-For time with JUH my cousin. We finally caught up after a loong time of not seeing one another for quality catch ups. I took him to pieology- i am a bit obsessed. its bad!

-For Jose to teach Lamentations. I was really really blessed by his teaching. I have never heard him teach and this honestly made me fall more in love with him and how God is growing him! Praise the Lord! It is a great book of hope in our Lord to recognize our sin, our judge, teacher, hope in christ, and repent from sin!

Prayer Requests:
I sent this to my church tonight.
"Pray that I have alone time with Jesus! Please pray that as I see the beautiful handiwork of God in the oceans and sunsets, I will remember that God is mindful of me and I bless His name. Please pray my soul is revived and my trust is in my Rock and Redeemer."
-For intentional conversations with my family (immediate and extended) in Hawaii and that God would save them!
-For a FUN TRIP to hawaii and major bondage with my fam, i am OOBER excited!!!!!
-For Jose and I to guard each others hearts well and exalt Jesus in time of doing this.
