Day 1- Welcome to Tecate

So we just arrived in Tecate, Mexico. It was a long trip, we left at 7:30am and arrive at 5:45, the delay was mostly from the traffic we encountered in San Diego because the chargers had their first Thursday game. Then we were home, or at least what we would call home for the next few days. The area is set back off the road on a little hill. Up the hill are some crosses and benches to do bible study. Once we arrived we were greeted by Ken, who seemes to run casabuilders and this sweet old man who was on crutches i cant remeber his name, but he is the sweetest!! Then had a tour of the visitors center.
There is one big kitchen/mess hall, 4 bedrooms for the girls and four for the boys, bathrooms and wash rooms were in the middle of the two. Mom
And I roomed with Anna in room #4. Best thing is the matresses are comfy!! :) We unpacked our stuff and went to get dinner. Dinner was Dumas tacos...maybe the best part of the trip lol but seriously delicious!! I ate 6 tacos amd probably could have had a few more but I am a big girl. After dinner we played the largest game of UNO ever which turned into a battle of the sexes catch phrase. Hate to admit but the fellas one both rounds. I must say we have quite the team. God has blessed us!

Stuck

This has been stuck with me.

In China I pulled out a princess tablecloth and the children we so excited for that, we didn't even have to bring out the crafts. They were over joyed by the simple plastic sheet.

In Sacramento we were handing out free shoes and We fitted a lady with a pair, she took them off and said those weren't good enough she wanted a pair of Nike's instead.

I want to be like the children in China finding joy in the smaller simpler things.

Take Action

It was a very cold morning.
We woke up at 4am to make the drive to
Sacramento to pack groceries outside in the 30 degree weather. But we braved it!


We prayed and then joined about 75 others with Samaratine's Feet to pass out shoes and wash people's feet.


Mom and I worked as a team. She would pray with our friends and and I would find them shoes and socks.











It was amazing.
Caring for the poor is evidence of our salvation. If there is no sign of caring for the poor in our lives, then there is a reason to at least question whether Christ is in our hearts.
Ezra 10:4

I regret not being more in love with Jesus Christ when I was younger.
My promise && desire: to fall even more in love with Him each day.

Quarter life crisis

I'm feeling completely guilty about going to school. How many hours, money, and thought goes into being a student that works full time. I was told "don't feel bad school is important." is it? Honestly, is this the most important thing I could be doing, because I'm pretty sure when I meet my Creator, he won't ask, did you finish school. No, i'm positive that won't be a question asked, but what he will ask, is what did you do for my glory? my heart breaks and I sit here in tears when I think. if I die in my sleep my answer will to what did you do for my glory will be..."uh, well I thought about it, but I had to finish school, it was important." maybe I'm just in a rut. I'm not sure, I just feel like there is so much I should be and could be doing but I'm not because I don't have time because of work and school. Blah! Maybe I'm just going through a quarter life crisis and don't know what I should do with my life.
