The Monte Cristo

My husband is obssesed with sandwiches, sometimes we will drive out of our way just because of a sandwich shop he loves. So when our friend Camilo asked us for a ride to LA my husband said yes excitedly as it meant a trip to Jerry's Famous Deli for what he claims is the best Monte Cristo Sandwich in the world. I must admit it is pretty outstanding.

Basketball champions

Remember my husband plays in a basketball league at Balboa Park? well they are quite good now and they won the championship!! Wooo hoooo. He really enjoys his Monday night games with friends, so I am really glad he gets to be a part of it an have some fun. Congrats guys.

Humbled

 

So we are doing this thing at our church were we have people that are a part of the congregation share pieces of their testimony right before the sermon, it is just amazing to hear what God is doing in people's lives. So last week our pastor's asked us to share a bit of our testimony. 

We prayed, talked about it and knew we had to share what God has been doing with our finances. Right before worship I got a notification from our bank saying our phone bill had been paid. I knew how much we had in the account and how much our bill was and in my estimation we didn't have much left in the account. I thought "well we need to get some money there and went on to worship". 

Both K and I worshiped like usual, and after worship Caleb brought a tithe envelope and remembered I hadn't turned in our tithe for November yet. I told K we needed to put some money into out bank account, he said I know and kissed my forehead.

A few minutes later we were called on stage by Pastor Katie to share out testimony. We did, we talked about God's call, we talked about God's provision. We talked about His church and our desire to serve it. And then Pastor Ben came on stage with Pastor Katie and said they wanted to take up an offering for us. We had no idea they were going to do that. Our faces fell and we started crying, what a humbling thing to be standing in front of your church family being blessed by it. We are so blessed to be a part of Urban Church, we love everything we do and the people we get to do it with. 

We love growing and learning as we serve and give of our talent. We are excited to see how the Lord gives back to the church for their love and generosity toward us. Thank you Urban Church, we love you!

Space Makeovers is back

We did another Space Makeover at Urban Church, this is our 4th one and we loved it!

This time around we re-did the space of Maria and her son Oscar. Maria and Oscar are two of the most grateful, most joyful people I have met. They share an 8x11 room and we wanted to bless them by painting and organizing their place and by getting them things they were in need of. 

Space Makeovers has to be one of the most exciting times for me. I LOVE coming alongside people and being the church to them.

The letter know as 1 Timothy

 

We started our 1Timothy series at Urban Church and for that we asked the people at Atomic Bazaarfurniture to put on stage. Doesn't it look cool? those guys have awesome stuff at their shop, you need to visit if you are in San Diego. for some

Quelf

 

Have you ever played Quelf? We played with some friends last week and I had to hide, talk to the game pieces like a drill sergeant and speak with a southern accent. Most random game ever, and so fun!

11.11.11

I got a text asking if I was making a wish at 11.11.11 and I thought well why not, I wrote it down and decided to keep it for life. I won't see another 11.11.11 so it'll be fun to look at this when I am 90 and I see my wish come true.

Breakfast meeting

 

My favorite meetings include food, and last week we had a meeting about Urban Church's videos early in the morning which inclusive pictures (can you see the mickey mouse on the toast?), my day couldn't have started in a better way.

Shoulder rides

 

Nothing makes a man more manly than a little girl riding on his shoulders. I love men that understand the impact they can have on a little girls life, I love men that are good dads and good uncles and good people. 

I love my husband and I am so grateful for his friends who love their daughters. Thank you good dads!

My husband will make one outstanding dad one day, his daughters will be so incredibly blessed to call him dad. I cannot wait to see him with them, they will have such an especial relationship, it'll be great.

Smirks

Husband and I were beyond exhausted when we took this pictures, we were sitting down waiting for food and we decided to take a picture of the smirk on our faces. I think we are cute, but my opinion might be biased.
