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?
