week 2 DTS OUTREACH.

So, this is the end of our second week of outreach. We left tijuana Monday in the afternoon, Andy prayed for us and comissioned us to go on our outreach, so we drove to Ensenada, it started raining a lot, and fabiola our little 2 year old friend, started vomiting in the car and all over her mom, we got to the ensenada base and had a little break, and continued driving for four hours south, to Vicente Guerrero, all we new is that we were going to one of our classmates house and do ministry and spend Christmas there, I really didnt expect anything but a good dry place to stay. When we arrived we found lots of goodies set out for us around the house. We spent Christmas there, we went to a service at a local church and sang a few carols that we practice beforehand. On the 26th we headed to San Ignacio, wich hapens to be a beautiful oasis in the middle of the dessert, so I can proudly say I have been in a real oasis, with the palm trees and the spring and lots of dates!!! You could see them everywhere!!! So I ate a lot of dates today too!! Yesterday we had an open air program at the plaza of San Ignacio in front of the almost 300 year old mission.

Today Chad preached at the service, I will include a video the sound is really bad, and its in spanish, so thanks for all your prayers and all you support. We couldnt have done this without your love and prayers.

WEEK 1 OUTREACH

this week, we had several activities, in wich we visited teens at a Correctional Institution in Tijuana, and we did a skit, where I play a depressed person who has suicidal thoughts. Today we went to a rehab center, and Chad Preached, wich was very refreshing for me, and at night we had a service at the church where one of our friend from school goes to. We've had my cousins and sister over the past days. My mom just flew back from Michoacan, and we went to pick her up from the airport, there was a lot of people everywhere, so I suppose a lot of people are having their loved ones with them for the holidays.

the power that is in a pair of PJs

I love my new fleece pajamas, they have the power to make me feel warm and confortable, just like your warm bed feels five minutes before you need to get up in a very cold winter morning. The good thing is that I feel like that everytime I wear them. A week ago, I had the oportunity to take somebody shopping and she also bought a pair too. The diference between her and I, is that this was her first pair of pajamas in her whole life. She told me, she has never worn any. I hope she feels as warm and cozy like I do this morning in her new house.

About a week ago, a team from diferent parts of Canada from a company named BOARDWALK, made it possible for four families to have a beautiful new home. Monica is 29 like I am too. I think this house build really touched my heart, she met her husband in the States, and had two children with him, but she also had other two boys with her mom in Mexico City, they lived with her mom because she couldnt take care of them and also work. Then her husband got deported so they bought a lot near Rosarito, and decided to come back to Mexico. Her husband build a very humble home for them, but when the rains started to pour a lot of water would get in to their house, so they had to sleep in their car. I know that this winter,they will be very warm and cozy in their new home. Im happy for them and their family and I pray that her kids will grow up to be God fearing men, that will help other people who were in the same situation they were in, and not only that but, that they have a passion for making their lives better.

NOVEMBER RAIN

Well, this past month was quite eventful. My heart mourned for two loved ones, my uncle was a victim of violence and one of my close friends died of cancer. My cat almost died too, because she ate flea killer, that was the sad part of my month. Now to the GOOD things, we went backpacking in the beautiful mountains of ensenada, we hiked 22 miles, I cant believe it still, it was very hard physically, mentally and emotionally. Im happy I did finish all the activities they asked us to do.

I had my first American Thanksgiving, it was lots of fun, I enjoyed spending time with my new family, and talking with them on the phone too, I think I should do it more often, its funny and many of you wont believe this, but I get "stage fright" when I talk on the phone, I forget what I really wanted to say. Maybe if I dont often, I wont get nervous.

I also had a THANKSMAS, yes, we combined Christmas and Thanksgiving in one weekend, I got the best of both worlds, thank you Teri, for making that happen. Pete and Teri, had all their Christmas stuff set up, our gifts wrapped, stockings and everything, and I saw his books out there, I think he was going to read us a story, I know I will listen to it next year, God willing.

I feel very content with my life and everything that we have, I thank God for my new family and for the family that looks like me too. I think that we are a very blessed pair and not only that, but we are blessed because we have a family that loves us and supports us in our ventures.
Thank you for all your love and prayers and time you have poured in to our lives, and we hope to be a blessing to others around us, as much as you have been to ours.

fun day with family

Today I had a woderful day with my sister, cousin and fiancee, ohh and my nephews too. And of course last but not not least my charming husband. We had pasta and just spent a fun day talking and remembering funny things from our childhood. This was the first time my cousin Yamilka has visited our home, so we took some pictures.

its been a few months.. sorry

so, I havent written anything here in two months, Im sorry grandma, Chad told me you've been checking here, so Ill tell you a little about my past two months.

I think these past two months have made me grow and stretch a lot. Before I started the school, I couldnt think of areas in my life where they needed growth, but I think just thinking that way its a sign of needing some growth. Salomon was wise to say that pride comes before the fall.  Im glad I noticed before anything bad had happened.  

my first week I learned about listening to Gods voice and just preparing my heart for him, my second week, I learned about letting God take control of my hurts and pains, and as soon as I forgave others for hurting, my healing process would begin. I had a lot of forgiving to do.  Im half way there, I started with the big ones, and Im still working on the small hurts, just some nicks and scrapes.  We also have been writing a journal, the first page of our week is a creative page, you can do anything you want to it, so I decided to scrapbook it!!!  I got lazy the other 3 weeks, I got sick on one of them, 

week 3. I made a new friend, wich was my worst enemy, but I decided to love him and everything from there went better, we also built a home for a family, I had lots of fun doing landscaping. 

last week was awesome, we had one of my favorite writers in the school, he taught about the disciplines of Jesus, loved it!!! chaged my whole worldview on christianity and my relationship with God.

Ive been sick the past 3 days, so Ive had time to write a little bit, if you want to know more about my life, please check my profile at facebook or at the ywam website. 

something new

So, today is our first day of DTS,  I havent slept all night, Im happy for this new time in our lives, Vanguardia was hard on us, lets see how we do this school.  I like the part that I know all of the staff and Teachers, so it felt like going back to school after summer vacation is over, you get to see your friends, and teachers. I think thats my favorite part of  the whole school year, you get to wear new clothes, fresh pencils, as a teacher you have your classroom all nice and well decorated for your students.  This is not our first school, this is not our first experience out of the country, and this is not our first YWAM experience, so Im really trying to make it fresh and fun. Ive been praying a lot, that God supplies for this school, and that His will in our lives for this time is completely fullfilled. So if you ask me, how I feel? I feel good, excited, expecting a lot from God, I really dont want this to be a waste of time and money that we dont have.  I dont want to sound like a brat, but really, the older you get, the less time you have to waste, and I really want God to do something wonderful in our lives and ministry, and Im laying my life, time and will to make this happen.. so God Im ready, you do your part.

I love the beach.

Today I got to enjoy what many people wish they could do more often, I took a walk on the beach with the love of my life.  Isnt that great!!!!

here I go again

so, I was very inspired, and wrote this long blog entry, and like how normally happens to me, something didnt allow it to go through, the internet signal went off.

A lot has happened since my last post, our family went through a really rough crisis, but thanks to many prayers, God used it, to fix a lot of relationships that needed atention and mending. I strongly believe that there was at least 500 people praying for The Seiler family, that truly blessed my heart, and made me rejoice in God through those hard times.

I go to spend time with my new grandparents, wich is one of the things Im grateful of (even though its not Thanksgiving Day) I grew up with a very absent Grandmother, so God gave me bunch of new ones. Who love me, and want to spend time with me.

A few days ago, we had some special guests in our house, we had a homeless family stay in our house, they just had been deported, and didnt have a place to stay, Arturo, Norma, Jesus and Maria, it was kinda hard making the decision, but the more time went by, it keept sinking in my heart, thinking, what if God had put them in our way? we couldnt just walk away, and let them sleep in the sidewalk. so we got our guest room ready, and gave them a fresh change of clothes, they had a shower, and I washed, all their laundry, ohh and I gave the little boy a haircut, (we just bought hair clippers. God has blessed us in many ways, enough to have extra clothes for them, extra towels,sheets, everything to receive them in our home, I couldnt see our selves denying them of a descent place to sleep. I couldnt sleep though, they left the next morning, after chad went to the base.

Sometimes we forget that Jesus was an extreme person for His time, and often he had to shake people to do things differently than the way they followed the Law. And I think we should do the same in the way we live our Christian lives, Do we really stand out from other Christians?

enjoy life

When you allow God to take the driver seat in your life, you reall get to enjoy the roadtrip of your life.

new things.

well, this summer, I did my share at the Tijuana YWAM base, I wrote the scripts for the puppet shows, did all the lady voices, and designed some of the stuff for the vbs. A lot of things have been hapening in my walk with God, he has showed me a lot of things that I need to change, and other things that I need to persevere in. One of the things that right now, Im deciding on, is doing my DTS (Discipleship Training School), Im praying a lot about it, Im also fasting, for 40 days, yes.. I will be eating, only fruts and vegetables and grains. So please keep us in your prayers. I know that God has called me to serve him, but there are a lot of stuff that I still need to set in mind before I start this school. I know that God is good, and He will provide for my school and outreach.

chad was right.

friday afternoon the kids and us were hanging out in our bedroom, of course our pets wanted to join in the fun, so we started talking about, how many kittens tita had in her big belly, we all placed our bets, lukas and diego said 4, I said 1, and chad said 5, so our cat after 5 hours of labor ended up with all those cutte kittens.

that was the highlight of my day, hours later my oldest brother gave me the bad news that my other brother had a heart attack, he is better now, my mom is with him, so please keep us in your prayers.

new life new order.

last monday I removed my birth control implant, turns out, that All this time, I have been ovulating, wich means Ive been fertil for the past year and a half, I could've been pregnant, it made stop and realize that God has perfect control of my body, and our marriage, and the perfect time for us to have a baby. The only thing that the birth control did was mess up my body, so, I know God will give us a baby when he wants to, and he will prepare everything and everybody for it to.

another thing I found this week, is this site, I love it, please give it a try.

tita stop following me!!!!

Ever since our cat Tita, got pregnant, she keeps following me around, since I love making jewelry, tita loves plaing with it, well this morning I sneaked in to my craft room, and there she was meowing at my door to let her in. I ignored her, 2 hours later, she is outside, peeking through my window, looking for me. So I hid, behind the screen of my laptop but she keept climing up the window screen to see if I was there.. well. .she found me. ok. Tita.. you are a very loyal friend, and very needy.

team work

Today my pets woke me up, the cat was meowing like crazy, and the dog was scratching our patio door, It kinda scared me, well, my husband left them both out, and they made it very clear that they wanted to get in, the funny part is that the cat was meowing on the kitchen window, and the dog on the patio door, I dont know how they get together to do things like that.. another day, I saw both of them with their claws and their heads, trying to open the door. People say that cats and dogs dont get along, but Tita (cat) and Chalupa (dog) both female, are and excellent example of how we can work together to achieve we want in life, setting a side differences in race, age, believes, and different lifestyles. If my two pets can do it. I think humans if they wanted to, they could do it too.

Something new

well I've realized, that this is my last year in my twenties, and I decided to make it very special. that is one of the reasons I started this blog. Have you ever felt that days go by really quickly and at the end of a month you stop and think, and say.. where did all that time go? what did I do with it?

I hope I can post all the exciting things and not so exciting things about my life online.
