a lot of stuff

I realized that i have taken up a lot on my plate so i would like prayers to handle everything....in my church i am a teacher for 6-8 graders in sabbath school, im in charge now of the english ministry, im in charge of the counseling ministry, im in charge along with my sister in law of the youth socials, and i have taken upon myself along with help from my husband to go to New York with the youth from our church and preach about Jesus and his love for us!!! i think its going to be an awesome experience and i wish if i could live my life as a missionary woman of God and go everywhere and anywhere to let people know about God! i thank God because every sunday now we are going to the streets in our neighborhood and opa locka (flea market) and preaching about Jesus. Jesus said that our big mission is to preach to the world so im glad that we are doing his will...i could talk about Jesus all day and how great he is!

Good Year!

I praise G0d because even though last year was not soo great.. this had been a good year soo far! My husband and I both have jobs PRAISE MY GOD ALMIGHTY!! because that is a big load off our shoulders!!!! and we are not stressed about how the bills are going to get paid! i thank God for the people i have met this year in where I am working now..with child support...the people have welcomed me with open arms (this is my 3rd week working here and my last week because i was hired only as a temp...but dont worry because if everything goes well and God wills it i will start working with the department of children and families feb 20!) i praise God because the people at child support have been super nice to me from day one....the lady training me loves me and she is sad to see me go..both my boss and her was me to stay but human resources already hired the permanent girl and i didnt turn my application on time because i didnt even know about it but its ok...i know the department of children and families will open a lot of doors for me and my career...if all goes well i can be transfered to the department of human trafficking which is what i want to do!!!! my boss (the general magistrate Dellow) took us out last week to eat at the intercontinental hotel for me that was something MAJOR because i have never ate there because its super expensive and it was nice of him to invite us! i really am going to miss everyone and i happy that for these 3 weeks i was able to have lunch with my mom like 2-3 days of the week because my job is few blocks away from my mom house so i thank God for everything and for what he has in store for us Almeidas!

Christmas

ok so christmas this yr was supposed to suck extremely badly especially since my husband and i have been without of work for seven months...i was thinking of canceling christmas!!! i went out wit a friend and she was shopping freely and as soon as i got home i started crying not because i couldnt get anything but because of our financial situation! how is renting going to get paid...how are the bills??? but i prayed and went to sleep...we put up our christmas tree and then i got sad again! because our tree underneath had two fakes presents with lights on them and derwin gift which i bought with money someone else gave me for a xmas present and to pay some bills so i couldnt get myself anything and all i really want for christmas is season seven of smallville or a board game lol and this past friday i was praying and looking at my tree and i was grateful to God for everything we did have like our health, our family, the love between and husband and a wife, friends, my church, and i was praying telling God que me falte todo menos tu! i realized that its not about having gifts under my tree its about having God in my life because the real reason of Christmas is because Jesus was born to bring us salvation so i was happy and satisfied and i felt i didnt have to complain anymore....but God has a funny way of always giving me my desires...i went shopping yesterday with some money my mom gave me and i bought her, my bro, my dad, and derwin a gift even though they are extremely cheap and nothing big at least its a gift and i wanted my family to have something to open up for christmas so im soooooooooo beyond words happy because there are gifts under the tree and my sister in law gave me one and derwin one so thats more gifts so im beyond thankful to God for granting this desire because i dont deserve his mercy and grace but he continues to make me happy even in times of sadness because of that and sooo much more i love my Heavenly Father!!!

The Story Of Brenden Foster

This little boy of eleven yrs old died last week from leukemia but his life was not in vain...this little boy dying wish was to feed the homeless people he saw on the way to the hospital! can you believe it? a little boy who is dying instead of packing instead of crying instead of being angry all he wanted was to help feed the homeless some sandwiches!!! i wish nowadays we could find people with hearts like Brenden Foster who do selfless things! and its amazing how he knew he was going to die soon...he said ill probably not be here next week but i had a good life and ill continue to have a good life until i leave....i put myself in his shoes and i realized that if i knew i was going to die next week i would NOT be sooooooooo calm!!! i would be freaking out...i would think of all the things i wanted to do...like travel to europe, travel around the world...have babies with my husband...buy a house, etc etc but this little boy all he cared about was feeding the homeless and planting some seeds so wildflowers could grow for the bees...some volunteers gave Brendon his wish and feed 200 homeless people and after that there was this big food drive all thanks to a little boy....its unbelievable the difference on how children think and us older people think no wonder God says unless we become children again we wont see the Kingdom of Heaven because the Kingdom of Heaven is promised to the children and now i understand why because children are not selfish...they have a good heart and no matter how much we punish them or put them on time out...they always come to give us hugs, kisses, and tell us i love you....unlike us..if someone yells at us we would probably never talk to them again!!! we always remember the bad things people do to us and we dont forgive but luckly the children do forgive and forget so lets pray that God helps us become more like children and that we may have hearts like children because all they know how to do is love... God bless and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

It is worth Suffering!!!

ok so i went on this amazing trip for two months full of victory and the presence of the Holy Spirit...so many people were baptized, gave up addictions, received the Holy Spirit and us the group of 12 come back home to realize its time for the trials!!!!! my husband and i have been without work for 7 MONTHS!!! , not 7 days, not 7 weeks, 7 MONTHS!!! its insane because even if we dont have work...the bills keep on coming...thats the only thing that is constant because it doesnt stop!!!! however i need to Praise the Name of My God Almighty because even with seven months without work...there has always been food on the table and the rent has always gotten paid...how do you ask? well simple God provides...DUH!! but the things just never seem to go our way...my husband and i had plans to celebrate our wedding ceremony this dec and i have everything ready just no money so it had to be canceled...my husband couldnt start school...we had to move back to miami from gainesville and my stress and frustrations keeps on raising!!! and i realized that i did also have a bit of depression but i thank God because even though we are passing through this bad times that just keep getting worse i thank God because i know his plan is perfect...i know that maybe this trial is making me a better, stronger person...and this too shall pass and everything will fall into place and i believe in my God's promises that there is no son who is let alone...if he provides for the birds how much more is he going to provide for us...and if sinners give good gifts to their children...how much better are the gifts the Lord will give us...and if we ask for bread he will not give us a stone...so Praise God for his promises and for his love because its worth it suffering if God is with me!!!

California

I Praise God because he has been good to me! we went to LA California to see a church that we have over there... and i was in shock when i saw the church because i have only been used to the church in Miami and High Springs were they are big churchs... but LA was a tiny little church but since the moment we walked in and gave thanks to God we felt his presence! it was awesome because God spirit was all around us in that tiny church! people who had been away from church were soo touch that they wanted to get baptized! so praise God!

Arizona

In Arizona there is only one family of our church and the lady of the house is basically the only missionary there. She lives there with her two children and husband. when we passed by on wed night they treated us like kings! they made a lot of food for us and it had to be the best chicken ever! we ate until we were stuffed.... we showered after a whole day without showering and baby wips werent going to cut it! lol we sang there, gave a testimony, and prayed for them! it was awesome and God presence has been with us the whole time. Praise him!
