Second Week of September!

Giving Thanks:
-Monday I ate at Baskin Robins with Pamela and was able to do accountability with one another. Love that girl!
-Tuesday was a night of Zumba with Marika and Sammie and catch up at Starbucks with Danny and Marika! It was awesome!
-Wednesday, Tony and Kat had Jose, me, Aaron, and Pamela over for dinner and we shared life with one another! It was really an awesome time.
-Thursday was a game day for the fam playing CLUE! Then there was a good discussion between Jose, Danny, Sanchez, Sammie and I over church membership! We want clarity in it!
-Friday I ate Korean bbq with my fam :) Thanks for treating me! I enjoyed discussing the gospel and how we can share it through its power and purpose, and listening again to Jose's story of his family! After Sammie had me over for a sleepover with Marika :) We ate and talked til the wee hours!
-Saturday I woke up to my fav breakfast at the Zeeman house as they sang to me and we ate together! We headed to the park where I was SURPRISED by some of my family and friends!!!! It was SO AMAZING. My dearest Jose set it all up- food, games, people, and LOVE. So happy he did all this hard work to make me feel special! We had a major paint party but ended up getting more wet than anything! Loved seeing everyone meet one another and seeing 20 and 30 yr olds act like 10 year old kids again. Went to dinner at Umami Burger and had a game night later that evening. It was truly a blast and I couldn't be more thankful!

-Sunday was a great day at Crossview learning how to eat, speak, and sabbath well throughout the week with others and for God's glory! Also celebrated my birthday with undeserving gifts from my fam!
-On a side note, I had ten Crossview family members and two other sisters in Christ reach out to me this past week! They encouraged me as I was struggling with self esteem. Praise God for that!!!!

Prayer Requests:
-So, I had just found out yesterday that my friend Kevin had passed away this last week.... I am completely heart broken over it! He was always kind to me texted me almost every day good morning since we graduated UCR. Please pray for his family for healing and peace and faith through Christ.
-That I will have peace over hurt feelings in friendships.
-That God would save my family ASAP!
-That in my work, I will have the desire to work hard and with a thankful and cheerful heart.
-That I will eat, speak, and sabbath with gospel intentionality this week!
