These past few months I have at times felt like I’ve been in the midst of a whirlwind of activities. We all have busier seasons of life, and this has definitely been one for us!
And because of that, its been almost 4 months since my last post! I can’t believe it!
More than a written article, today I want to take you along with me on a pictoral journey. A photo summary of these last four months so you can know a little of what’s been going on behind the silence on the computer screen.
So where have I been?
Traveling!
In no particular order…
Día Latino at the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum
Marriage Conference in the Riviera Maya & Vow Renewal
After 10 years of marriage, we definitely STILL DO! 
Originally, the vow renewal was going to take place in a garden, but due to possible rain they moved it indoors. Still a moment to remember!
In celebration of a decade of marriage this past May, I compiled a list of 10 Creative and Cheap Ideas to Celebrate Your Anniversary. Also, come along with me and Multiply the Love in Your Marriage (Love Your Husband More Challenge)!

My Spiritual Walk
Day by Day Chronological Bible (CSB). This is the first time I’ve read God’s Word chronologically and in this version. It’s divided into 3 Acts and designed to read in 1 year! Definite blessing. 🙂
Last month I finished reading Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers by Dane Ortland. This is one of 2 books (apart from the Bible) that has had a profound impact on my walk with Christ. Every person should read this! Rejoice in discovering more our beautiful and humble Lord’s heart!
Behold Your God: Rethinking God Biblically by John Snyder has been a companion to me when the Lord wakes me in the stillness of the night to spend time with Him. The title says it all-this study isn’t about simply accumulating Biblical knowledge, but truly Beholding our Wondrous God! Behold Your God anew with this daily devotional that can be done with or without DVDs (I’m doing it without).
To be honest, there have been days in the past couple months that I have allowed my fellowship with the Lord to get lost amidst the daily demands of this super-busy season. My communion with my Father has at times been inconsistent. And when it is O how I miss it, how I miss Him!
Praise His glorious Name that He is patient with us and His mercies are new every morning!

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
