It's been one heck of a roller coaster of emotions these past few days. My baby is turning 1 on Tuesday and her party is this Saturday. We have been running around this week shopping for things needed, then working a bit here and there to have more provision to continue to get things needed. Man even a "small" party can add up. But you know I've had many "aaah" moments with it all.
* One: My daughter deserves everything all those who love her are doing for her and much more!! No matter how drained I feel it all seems worth it to me because she deserves it!
*** Three: The same effort I'm putting in for my baby I see my parents doing so too. And I'm sure a lot of our family too. But like always my parents go above and beyond and we are blessed to have them in our lives. So they deserve a break after this. I know they love time with their granddaughter and have no problem watching her for me when I need to work or run errands. But they need to work and run errands too and reality is I have many loving hearts who are always open to help care for my baby if they can. Thank you Hazel Nicole Aristy Jaime for all you did today.
**** Four: I keep telling God "OK Lord I need to make this much (amount of money) today to be able to buy (supplies needed) And He would provide what I thought was needed. But then something else would come up and we would end up short. :( Was that God not providing enough? NO! That was me with so little faith and only asking for what was "needed" When my Heavenly Father provided in abundance if I simply ask and believe!
***** Five: In the mist of your busy, crazy day or week, there is always someone else who might have it a bit harder than you and they need your help. If you stop and look for those in need, God is faithful to watch over you. Stop and seek where you can show the love of Jesus and simply be a blessing to others. Seek where you can bring God's glory into a situation. As I was working (delivery food) I saw a couple walking with about 3 large luggage's and 3 medium/ small luggage's. At a stop sign the wife waved me down. I thought she needed directions so I lowered my window. She was asking if I could help them get to a Metra train station 2 1/2 blocks down. I said sure, let me deliver this food first. As I continue to drive I realize I'll reach the train station before my destination so I turn back around and load them in my van. They are hot, tired, in pain due to husband having back and neck problems and pulling most of the luggage. I find out most of their life was in the luggage and they were moving to Oregon. Taking a Metra down to union station. Long story short I could not allow them to go through that hassle and offered to drive them all the way down town to the Union Station. Not worrying that I would have to stop working if I did and I wouldn't reach today's goal. After delivery the food we took off to downtown. They were so grateful. Saying this process has not been easy and that I was "God sent" that they told themselves getting to the Union Station "would take a miracle" . God was looking out for them. I was open to show Jesus to those who don't know Him and they got to experience that their Heavenly Father is looking out for them. Just like He would look out for me and provide ! They blessed me with just the right amount of $. I was not looking for the pay. I just wanted to bring some peace into their storm. But God placed our paths to help each other.
With all that said. I am sooo sooo sooo grateful for every little detail! God never fails. He is never early, never late. Always perfect. And just as promised He is using the life of my Loriana Andrea to show me so. <3

** Two: Even if her party wasn't happening she would also simply enjoy time with us. Because at the end of our busy days this week all she wants is to hug mom and dad and fall asleep in our arms.
