Thoughts on an Ugly Mood.
Fact: I’m usually happy.
Fact: I’m usually smiling.
But today has just been a weird day.
Problems with the parents, and us kids being the messenger for them, which I massively hate. I just don’t have the guts to repeat repeat it to them. The result of these events have caused me to be in a ugly mood. I personally don’t like these types of moods but they happen to...

Every journalist has a novel in him, which is the best place for it.

A rude remark but a funny one. :)
Truths about Rachel (29)
I have never had a Christmas tree or put up Christmas lights. It just so happens to be one of my father’s convictions, and he legitimately believes Christmas trees are pagan idols people worship. It’s kinda sad, however some believe it to be “awesome” that we honor his convictions. Believe me when I say it’s hard not to put things up every year and yell...

He who laughs, lasts.
-Mary Pettibone Poole (c. 1983)
I am in complete agreement.
I used to think....
I’d never get over the Jonas Brothers. I used to be obsessed, and by obsessed I mean, I’d hang pictures of them all over my walls. I’d listen to their music when the parents were gone, and I’d constantly be looking at magazines trying to find the latest scoop on the JoBros. But it didn’t hit me till a couple of weeks ago that I no longer listen to them as much as I...

I used to think....
I never thought I’d watch The Office… than I accidently fell upon one episode. And I was instantly hooked.
Reasons I love my mother #3
Parents worry for us. After all we go on our whole lives being over protected by our parents. Right? Well at least that’s how it’s been in my house. But anyways most parents decide to let their kids on their one usually by the age of 18 after it technically is the age of “adulthood”. But not mine. Well at least not my mother. No matter where I’m at I will always...

I think I’m in love. But before you begin to get the wrong idea let me clarify myself. I think I’m in love with painting. There’s just something about it that makes me happy and relieves all my worries. Does tha make sense? How you can turn something from one color to another in a matter of seconds just amazes me. So let me say it again. I think I’m in love with painting....
Things Isai says #4
Family is sitting on the couch and mother decides to go upstairs leaving my brother and me alone we were watching Xmas cartoon shows by the way. When NBC announces that Bee Movie is up next. Isai says “Are you going to watch it with me?” As usual I’m busy with the crackberry and say “Uh, I dunno maybe.” He didn’t repond or say anything. 10 minutes later he...
Things Isai says #3
About a few days ago I took my brother on a “date”. I never get to hang out with him one on one so I took him out to dinner and movie. Needless to say we had a lot of fun. I really missed hanging out with him. So we’re at TacoBell and I buy him a Beefy 5 layer Burrito (his favorite) and we’re driving down the freeway when he opens up his burrito and says “Do you...
A Time to Give Thanks.
I have soo many things to be thankful for. And it’d probably take me a long time to list it all. But here it goes…
1. God: why shouldn’t be I be thankful for him? He gave his only son and allowed him to die for me sins. He’s given me so much more than I actually deserve.
2. Family: We have had soo many rough patches but I think the great ones surpass them all! I may live...
Prayer Request from a 5yr. old.
Many people….wait let me rephrase that. No one knows that my brother’s birth was the result of my prayers as a 5yr. old. I was always jealous when I’d see the worship band kids having inside jokes with their siblings or playing a game they knew but I didn’t. It made me sad. So I asked my mom “Mom what is it gonna take for me to have a little brother (i wanted a...

I’m astounded by people who want to “know” the universe when it’s hard enough to find your way around Chinatown.
-Woody Allen
I used to think.....
That talking back would resolve things for me and prove that I was right and (usually) my authority was wrong. However it’d really just get me in trouble with my parents and a bad reputation with the people at church. I learned that it’s better just to humble yourself rather than making yourself look good. When in fact all you’re really doing is making yourself look stupid and...

Middle age begins with the first mortage and ends when you drop dead.
.J.E.A.L.O.U.S.Y.
Will make you bitter.
Will destroy you and the relationships around you.
Will cause division between you and other people.
Makes the devil rejoice. Believe it or not it makes him happy, after all he is here to cause division and destruction.
Won’t let you focus on the things you should be focusing on.
Will hinder God from bringing you blessings.
There are so many more things I could...
Things my Brother says #2
My dad is driving Isai and I to Dutch Bros. When he says “Sarai. I don’t wanna be rude but I really think you’re cool and I really love you.” Immediately I thought he was being sarcastic so I said “Isai, shut up and stop being sarcastic with me.” And he says “I wasn’t I was being serious.” I didn’t really get what he meant by “I...
Random thought #1
This week has been such a hard one for me both emotionally and spiritually, I’ve come to realize that its so easy keep your eyes on yourself when your world is crashing down. But I’ve also realized that when you take a moment to take your eyes off yourself you realize that life is soo much easier and better and full of blessings than what other people have or go through. It’s...

So one evening I’m sitting at the couch watching the spanish version of American Idol called La Academia (The Academy) when I start admiring how good looking this one spaniard in the competion is, and I say “Man, that guy is really good looking!” and Isai says “You want to marry him don’t you?” and I say “No, because my husband will be better and hotter...
Reasons I love my mother #2
Well she pretty much gave birth to me so why shouldn’t I love my own mother? :)
I used to think...
That I wasn’t a good singer yet I always loved to sing, then my senior pastor in cali said that God had given me a great gift. That kinda changed my perspective on things. :)
When I'm living the married life...
Ill be sitting in our 70’s flowered couch drinking a nice cup of coffee and my husband will be sitting across the room in our old vintage (but still working) piano singing “Dream a Little Dream of Me”. While the kids admire their dads amazing voice, and I’m thinking. I married the best man. :)
I used to think....
I would always live in Oceanside, California. However little did I know that God would move me and my family to little ‘ol Idaho. Where I’d make crazy relationshipds that would shape me up and shake my world upside down. It’s kinda weird to say but it’s true, when I say that God changed me in Idaho. I used to think I’d never like Idaho or the people, but I...
Reasons I love my mother. #1
She still cooks for me and makes me lunches for interns even though I’m already and “adult”.
I used to think....
That China and the rest of the world were all in the USA, I was just too stupid not to find it in the USA map. Oh childhood. Where have you gone?

This lady, is such a woman of God, tonight i rode with her we party hopped and ran away from strangers who rode their bicycles too closely, we’ve had some great times and I feel like I can be totally real with her. (not that im not with others) But she’s been through stuff that I struggled with and confessed things to her that I never have, even with my bestest of friends. And well...
the wonders of technology
it justs amazes me how these days you can do anything from your phone, no longer is a computer needed to go about your daily tasks just pull out your crackberry, iPwn, or Andrunk (nicknames for famous phones)and youve got everything you need. As Im writing this, its all coming from my berry. :)
.Wedding.
Stephanie Depold and Dan Dunson are getting married today and well I’m really excited for them! It’s gonna be great, however it seems like lately people around are just getting married. And I wonder…..do people get married just because of the wedding part or because they truly want to make a lifetime commitment to one person?
