3 Big men cruising in a beetle... HA

oK i wish I had my camera on me. I mean, really.... WHO cruises in a convertible little beetle?

You automatically think... hmmm maybe girls right. NOT HERE. 

I saw 3 guys... all pretty built, cruising, like with music loud, arms extended over the seats, cruising in a little beetle.... one of the new ones. 

You could tell in their faces they were like... "LOOK AT ME... I'M COOL"

U just dont see this in America.... not that I remember at least.

Ode to Chorizo?

Ok... so I had to share about my first time that I had like a stomach issue here. Since the story goes that everyone who comes here will at one point get sick, I hadn't though. I thank the Lord for an iron stomach. But today.... I threw up. It had been a loooooong time, like I dont even remember the last time I threw up! 

I ate chorizo con papas and huevo today, which was sooo good. But earlier I had a big and tasty from McD's, which was supposed to be like a treat, but it did NOT look appetizing at all, they put this wierd sauce on it, and the lettuce was a little soggy, and somewhat old, I took some of it all, but ate most of it. 

My theory is... the greasy mexican food I had later, reacted with the nasty Mickey D's, and made me throw up... .... ughhhh....... but after I did, I felt better woo hoo. So... I was sick for like a total of 3 hours maybe =)

I'm 23?!

I just want to share my thankfulness to Dad for providing love, peace, affection. When u think about spending ur bday in a foreign land away from ur family and friends, u dont really look forward to it. But wow, Dad is good all the time. He gives us not only what we need but he gives us more, abundantly!

I thank him for providing me with some friends here who I have become close with and one in particular who took it upon herself to take me out the entire week of my bday. My parents had just left and she helped out alot with the whole nostalgic feeling.

Then my bday weekend another girl planned a trip to Mt. Sinai and to the Red Sea, she had no idea it was my bday weekend, but I know Dad knows, and he loves me, so I totally am taking

 this as his gift to me aswell. I've always wanted to go, but honestly I don't like planning my own bdays.

(on the 17th I went to dinner to Hard Rock downtown, and I got a cup of ummm whipped cream. lol... wierd huh)

And not only this, but today, sunday after my bday, I was surprised by my local friend who baked me a cake, this was her first time, sooo sweet and she and her mom sang happy bday to me in english... aww! Super sweet!

I know that DAD seeks to love on his children =) He's so good. 

So Moses... Man he was fit!

You know God was with him because, I'm pretty sure he was pretty old when he climbed up and down Mt. Sinai. As I climbed this mountain I kept on thinking, Moses had some dedication! Perseverance, and discipline. I mean it wasn't easy. I know I'm not all that fit, but still it wasn't an easy climb. One time was good enough for me. It's 9,000 feet in altitude, and we did it by night, so that we could catch the sunrise and man it was beautiful. It's definitely worth it. We were freezing at top, we rented out some blankets which smelled like.... ummm camel I think, but they were heavy so I wont complain too much. I tried to sleep because I knew early in the morning I would have to start the trek back down, and although it be easier it was still a long ways. But I couldnt... I saw many shooting stars and it was sweet when I asked DAD to let me see one more before I covered my eyes forcing myself to go to sleep, and he did, soon after I asked him and at the exact spot I was looking up at. I smiled, checked my watch and it was exactly 3 am, the time that Dad always speaks to me or wakes me up to talk. 

My mom told me.... u Know Moses spoke face to face with God, and u see that mountain... he climbed it to hear from the Father. 

The Father does mighty things with those who earnestly seek him, and reveals himself mostly to those who do whatever it takes to know him. What a shame that there are many times that I can't sacrifice some sleep to wake up and seek Him.
