Daughter of the King
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
Hola everyone! Thank you everyone who gave me birthday wishes yesterday! I feel so incredibly honoured to even know you guys. I am SO blessed with all the people God has placed in my life.
So yeah, I am 18 I guess. I am technically an adult, though I do not feel like one in the least. I shall forever be 17 in my heart, 17 is the perfect age. Today I am having my birthday party! So excited. The cake smells so good, and looks so good. We have a piñata, and many wonderful people are gonna be here. Can't wait for the evening!! Right now the temperature is 26. Just so you all know. It's weird though, b/c I am wearing pants, and a hoodie. . . I am not even sure what to write. I haven't posted in so long, I feel like I can not remember anything. Oh I got the best birthday present ever!!! For the longest time now I have been saying that I want a onesie. And that is exactly what I got! Thank you Brian and Clarissa!! :) Now, time to think about what God has been teaching me lately. I am kind of tired right now, it's only 1:30 so I don't know why. Anyways. What I have been learning is that I am a roller coaster. I have had days where I have wanted to go home so incredibly bad, but then days where I never wanted to leave! I have been super happy, and been really sad. And though I am a mess, and I go up and down. God does not. He is the same, has always been the same, and will always be the same. He is my rock where I can run to all the time. No matter what state I am in, he will always be there for me, and he will always be perfect. He will always be everything that I need. And this truth also blows me away, because that is some fairly high standards. And yeah, thank you all for reading! 2 weeks and I will be heading home. I am excited and sad, all at once. I am so pumped to see you all again though!!! Talk to you again!

My heart is happy. I am blessed with so many amazing people in my life. So many good friends here in Mexico, and so many good friends and family back home. People make the difference, without people, life would not be near as good. Church was amazing last Sunday. The San Carlos Community Church got a new pastor, and guess what. He is from Carmen, Manitoba. Small world. And I also went to the Spanish Church in the evening. I love it so much!! I love the worship in that church. They sing so much, and often the songs are very repetitive but I do not mind at all. Plus It gives me a chance to practice, you learn the songs much quicker when you sing them over and over. Here is a song that we sang that I absolutely love. The chorus is amazing. Guess what!? :) I booked my ticket home. So you can expect me to be in Canada on Dec 12!
What has the almighty been teaching me lately? Let's see. Colossians 3 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. We have to be so careful what we allow into our minds. What we put in, is what comes out. So I want to fill my mind and my heart with good things. And I do not want to get distracted. I don't want to put stuff in my mind that just takes up space. I want to fill my mind with scripture and with Godly things. I want God's word to become a part of me. It's awesome though, because especially lately God has given me a big desire for reading his word. His word has so much power, and is so exciting! The thought that it is all true is simply mind-blowing. Today I was reading Matthew 25, and verse 34 says. "Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." The kingdom has been prepared for us since the creation of the world. So yeah, God has been showing me many things, and all I can do is to keep asking for more. God is so good, and is so wise, and is so mighty, and is so righteous. What a joy to be able to get to know him, and what a blessing is his word. Thank you again for reading! Here are some pictures! Woohoo!!! I am so pumped and I don't know why! Hello everyone! Let me tell you about my life. 1st off I would like to tell you that I finally after my 2 months of being here I went to the Philadelphia Hotdog Stand. I have heard so many people talk about how delicious these hot dogs are, and now I can say I've tried one. I ordered the "Philadelphia con tocino" which means the Philadelphia with bacon, and wowzers they put a lot of bacon on. It is so good though! Outdoes any hotdog back home. Though it is hard to eat because it is pretty much as wide as it is long. And for some reason I didn't think I was coming with, so I ate a lot of supper at home, then I ended up coming along and having to try to fit this giant hotdog inside my body as well. The past two days (not including today) (the 5th and 6th)(of Nov.) Patty and Melissa had off. So they were hardly at all here, and if they were they did not need to help because it was their days off. So now I was in charge of Hank, and cleaning, and Leah to sometimes. And to be honest, I absolutely loved it! I loved that baby more than I ever had before. I guess because he was now my responsibility, I was the one in charge of him. He was mine! I didn't have him for night though, because I always watch him on Friday night. (I didn't mind)
And I found cleaning fun to though. It was almost funner to do it all by myself. I love having my initials all across the board. (We have a checklist and you get to sign your initial if you do something) (I shouldn't say all this though because than my mom is gonna expect a little to much of me once I come home.) And Hank was so much fun this morning. He was so happy! I love singing to him, and talking to him. Apparently when I was walking around the house Hank would just follow me with his eyes. Awww :) My heart has melted and is lying in a pool on the ground. Yesterday the Scapinello's came over and they stayed for the night. They were our traveling buddies (and friends) when we were driving down. They are such a fun family to have around, they create a very relaxing atmosphere. And today is Kaylee's birthday, she has gone around the sun 10 times now. So we are having a party for her in the evening. We made paper chains, blew up balloons, and we are having a cake! Our decorations actually look really nice. (if you'd ask me, you don't have to though because I already told you.) (now I can't wait for my birthday party!!!) (20 Days!!) So yeah, time is flying by. I can not believe it is the 7th already. I'm excited to go home, but I am definitely not as homesick as I was a few days ago. I do think it is good to have those days, as long as they are not every day. I am thankful that I have something to miss. I am glad I love my home, my church, my family, and my friends so much. Wouldn't it be kind of sad if I didn't miss them. Yesterday I was reading Romans 5:1-5. Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand! And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. I hadn't spent much time in God's word for a little while, and so I am like "God give me a desire for your word, reveal to me something." And it is crazy when you ask for things like that he doesn't hold back. I had so much joy and excitement when I was reading that passage, and he gave me small revelations that I can't quite explain. Just to have peace with God, what an amazing thing. And to take glory in suffering, because through suffering we will produce hope. And hope will not put us to shame. And what an amazing gift the Holy Spirit is! And also one more thing that God has showed me. He means what he says in the bible. For example: James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. If you ask, he will give it to you. Literally! And one more thing my mind has been thinking about. In the Lord's prayer we ask God to give us this day our daily bread. Whether that is literally talking about food or not. Imagine if we actually had to rely on God each day for our food. If we had to live for the day, and not plan out the rest of our life. I don't know, just something to think about for now. Anyways! Thank you again for reading, I will update again soon! Here are more pictures as usual! :) Today is the 4th already! Only 23 days until my birthday! The past 3 days have been really interesting. Brian, Clarissa and their family left to go bring their mom and Shayla to the Phoenix airport. So this weekend it was just me, Patty, Melissa and of course, baby Hank. It has been such a relaxing weekend, the house has been so quiet, and there is not nearly as many dishes! Yesterday was an exciting day. I finally updated my iPod (I haven't updated it for almost 2 years). And now that I updated it I was able to get the voxer app. I love voxer!! It is like a walkie talkie, so I was able to talk to my family and actually hear their voices!! It so much funner (funner is a word because I just used it and there is no red line underneath it) than just through Facebook. So I talked to Tyson quite a bit yesterday. The evening I voxed him for about 2 hours than we switched to using FaceTime for another 2 hours. I realize now how much I miss my family. I am starting to get really excited about going home. But I still have a month to go so I can't get too excited! (Though I still am) Patty and Melissa tell me that I shouldn't make myself miss you guys back home so much, (because I always look through pictures and talk to many of you) but then I tell them that it is not my fault. I can't help that God made you all so wonderful. So yeah, prayer for more adventure as I am getting closer to the finish line. And more prayer that I would try hard to learn spanish, the past while I haven't tried at all. And thank you for reading again! Oh, I was asked to put my favorite spanish worship song on here. And that is a tough one!! I think I would pick Te Doy Gloria (posted in the past blog post) or Sube Mas Alto. I have been looking for that one on youtube for a long time and Patty finally found it for me. So happy!! Everyone has gone to bed, and it is my night with Hank. I have so much energy right now. Actually almost this whole day I have had so much energy! As I had mentioned in an earlier blog post today, today is one of those hilarious days (days where I find everything hilarious) (And I have these days quite regularly throughout my life) . Before Melissa did something that the average person wouldn't even find funny, but I was dying of laughter! And then around 9:00 I decided Hank is sleeping so I will be sleeping. That didn't last very long b/c I realized that I actually was super hyper. My Aunt, Cole and Mason were going outside to wait for Brian and Clarissa (They were coming home today) and I decided to go join them. As soon as I got outside I booked it, I ran so fast. I couldn't stop moving, my legs wouldn't let me. I haven't been this crazy in a long time. It's so much fun though. Not only am I full of energy I am so full of joy! I am so happy. I love Jesus! I love God! I love all that he has done for me! I love to look back at all the things we've done together. I feel completely full. I feel completely satisfied with this joy that God has placed inside of me. Psalm 63: 3-5 Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. If you want a good spanish worship song. Listen to this. I love it so much! Thank you again for reading! :) Remember God loves you a ton! He loves you so much, words can simply not describe this love that he has for you. Ahhhhhhhh!!!! :D
Oh I just remembered something awesome! Earlier this day I prayed that God would send joy! Look at that, he did! :) What a wonderful God we serve. It's November!! :D I am so excited, and I do not know why. Today is my brothers birthday! Happy birthday Brother Kyle Fehr! You are twenty now. Woohoo! Today I am in a really hilarious mood. (The mood where I find everything hilarious) And the other day (yesterday) me, Melissa and Patty watched School of Rock. Well, we haven't finished it yet. Anyways, today I couldn't stop laughing. If you have seen the movie, you'll remember the part where all the kids and the teacher are like "Step off! Step off! Step Off! Step off!" I find that part so funny. So today I kept singing it to baby Hank and he loved it. And Melissa makes the best ice cream cake. (It has coffee in it.) For lunch we had the classical again. (Beans and tortillas) So good!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and yesterday I learned how to make tortillas! Cristian taught me and Shayla how. It is pretty simple actually, though I'll probably forget. I figured that I'd better learn how because when I go home I am gonna miss beans and tortillas so much. And the tortillas here are so much better than in Canada. (No offense) It was really funny though, the first tortilla I fried blew up so much. It was literally like a balloon. The past few days, as funny as they may have been, I started to miss home a lot. Yesterday, (on Halloween) I was listening to some Christmas music. And it just reminded me of the atmosphere of my home up north. We usually set up our Christmas tree in November, and then the Christmas music floods our house. It's always in the background. The classical cd's we listen to are the Alan Jackson Christmas cd, Boney M, Brad Paisley Christmas, and our Reggae Christmas cd. My favorite Christmas song is this. (insert arrow downwards) I love Christmas music though. I think there is something special in praising God through remembering what he did for us. Hallelujah! Our Messiah has come. Another cool fact: Hallelujah is the same in every single language. So yeah, I've been missing home a lot the past few days. Well, actually I've been just really excited to go home. I"m still having a blast here though. I don't even know, I am a mix of everything. Listen to this song to! And Wednesday (Maybe Tuesday) we were sorting through the donation clothes. And we found some mennonite dresses. I actually kind of like this one. Also I love this Christmas song! Oh another thing!! Yesterday I went to the beach with Melissa. Coolest thing ever. There where a bunch of pelicans there, and two of them were synchronized! And they did their tricks a bunch of times so it obviously was not a fluke. And I even got it on video, though I didn't catch all of it.
Wow, this blog post is jam packed. And here are some more pictures to make it even longer! Thanks again for reading. And one more thing! I got to skype with Megan this week! Super pumped about that because she is wonderful. |
