What a long days!

Life keeps moving on, season after another, I must move on with my walk with Christ, and keeping fighting the good fight. Days are hard, but God gives me the strength to keep going, His grace are more than I deserve. I'm His forever since I trusted Jesus to save me.

I enjoy working at Oakland School, the children are dear. One day a little boy came up to me and said,” Did you go tanning?” I just smiled at him. Yes, they too need Jesus.

As a Mother's Helper, as a little girl grows older it so much fun to play with her. Because she communicates with you. She also says hilarious things like,” My Mommy says you have a belly button!” Ya, she is a darling thing.

On Saturday we got four inches of snow! Either I change my opinion about cold weather or I just want to move to new warm place. But God's pretty snow is beautiful!

The King's Daughter

I am the King's daughter,

I am the King's servant,

I am the King's lover,

I am the King's daughter well loved.

I am the King's daughter,

I am the King's chosen,

I am the King's rich daughter,

I am the King's beloved.

He provides all and I am His all in all.

He is all my all and I shall not fall.

He has given me laughter.

I am His well beloved daughter.

Let Me Seek You

Let me seek you in the mornings.

Let me seek you in the afternoons.

Let me seek you in the evenings.

Let me seek you in the nights if I'm awake.

Almighty, Almighty God.

Almighty are you.

Many temptations are always near me.

Satan wanting to destroy my soul.

You are my refuge in the storm.

I stand strong, I hold on to you, Almighty.

Oh oh so many temptations.

Lord, he wants to destroy my soul.

But in you Almighty I find refuge.

Let me seek you with all my heart,God.

Almighty, save me, keep me away from

the temptations of this world.

Let me seek you,

With all my heart. By Maria

Busy Life

 So many things happening!

My sister Beth – She's getting married to a long fellow in December. The wedding is coming quite quickly. In that case she's busy lady with her wedding stuff, her job, and other ministries.

My sister Sally – Now, she's going to have her third baby. Her kids keep her busy. What a Mom! And other things like church ministries or being a neighbor to someone.

My brother David – Now, he has a different story. He got sick and is recovering or is recovered. He's busy with college stuff, and traveling around the world or does it just seems like he is spinning with the world? He's a busy man. Not married? Mmmm... ?

Dad – is a hard worker, involved in ministries, he can't remember his dreams when I want to know what he dreamed that day, getting ready for the winter around the house. He has a heart for God!

Mom – stays home as a homemaker, helps me in school when needed, she's just trying to survive!, she can't remember her dreams either!, she's a beautiful Mom!

I – like to climb trees if it is reachable, play basketball, gone camping, mostly busy with school and trying to survive with life, in whatever I do God is involved in it. Ya, probably there is more things that I do.

Farm creatures – my dog Shep is doing well, he's old, he sniffles  in the wrong area while the mouse, squirrels, rabbits or things like that is far gone, but I love my dog!

My cat lives at the barn and likes to behave like a queen, and lives a simple life, what a cat!

My chickens run around, when we go to the barn expecting for food, they are happy except when there is hawk around, they don't like their enemy and run or fly for their lives inside the barn. What spoiled chickens we have all that we give them from our garden!

NEWS: 2015

The most exciting thing that could happen this year is my sister Beth getting married to a tall Texan. I'm so happy that at last she is to be married. The Great Bridegroom has written her a beautiful love story. It is a beautiful story! The Wedding is to be held in December. It's exciting!

My Doings:

I still have my job of being a mother's helper.

I'm playing coed softball this summer.

I help in Sunday School for two year olds if needed.

Soon I'll be going to Tenn. to see my grandparents.

I go walking and biking.

I love to swing. After I coaxed my Dad several times, he finally put up a wooden swing for me. He's so nice!

This week I'm working at a blueberry farm, when it doesn't rain.

Probably there are more things that I do.

Spiritual Walk:

God is sure Amazing! I have gone through a tough journey for months. During those months my parents and friends have supported and prayed for me, while God was at work, a big work!

I was going through sin problems, ashamed and bruised but not hopeless. Through those times I had very bad dreams, my “sin thoughts” were constant, I cried and got angry. I thought that God was not doing anything in me.

Months passed by. The help that I was getting was helping and I started healing, by God's grace. Also other areas of my life were changing, until at last I was free! I was free as a bird; I flew away from my capturer and was in the arms of my Heavenly Father. There I was more free than ever. I was washed and cleansed by the Lamb of God.

To God Be the Glory!

My Fortress ~ June 2, 2015 ~ based on the Psalms

The Lord is my Fortress, my Shelter, my Rock, and my Refuge, when storm comes.

That is where I should run to.

When the storm is flashing and thundering mightily.

He will keep me secure in His Shelter of His wings.

Lord, keep me safe just beside you, I'm yours.

My Fortress, my Shelter, my Rock, and my Refuge is He.

When my enemies come against me, under His wings I hide.

No man can take me out of His Fortress.

I cried out to the Lord and He rescued me.

He rescued me, He rescued me!

My Rock rescued me.

The Lord is my Fortress, my Shelter, my Rock, and my Refuge.

Finally spring is here! I love to see the flowers peep out of the ground. And see the trees having blossoms on them which later it starts to have green leaves. In the mornings I love to hear the happy birds chirping. So far we have some warm days  and chilly days.

My parents and I were sick. Dad had a bad, nasty cold that he had to stay home from work for few days. And I had the longest bad cold, fever, which it turned into an ugly cough. I had to take medications that I disliked and plus inhaler. Thankfully in God's timing we all three are getting better.

My farm animals like chickens are doing well, they seem to be happy after hard, cold, snowy weather. My dog Shep is an old dog, he likes to be petted, one time he told me," Maria, I don't know how many years I have left, but sure I tell you. You're my best Buddy, just play with me!And my cat was lost and was found safely.

My brother came home safely after traveling around the world.
We call him,''World Traveler!"

My sister Sally is going to have another baby, another blessing from God.

My other sister is keeping busy. She's a busy young lady!

All my close family love God. And serving God for His Kingdom!

Days gone By – 2015

I was busy with choir especially in tech week before the concert.
I car pooled with my friends.  After so many practices, the concert was worth it.
All of my peers were very nervous about the concert.
I sang my solo in two nights and it was hard to believe that it was over.
Everyone had so much fun! We had fun, prayed, laughed, and gave God the Glory.

Slowly I started working harder in my school.
This year I had the opportunity of making scarves for Vision of Hope (for girls who are going through a difficult journey in their lives). Christmas caroling with grownups from our church, and helping with thousands of letters that needed to get done for the Matrix. Soon I will be back to starting with Awana. I still have my job, I enjoy it a lot!

We got snow here and it is not perfect for making snowman.
