thanksgiving hangover.

this weekend we went down to san diego for thanksgiving. and we had a blast. it was really chill which was so nice. just us 2 and my sister and brother in law and their two boys. that night we went over to naz's aunts house for dessert and got to see his side of the family which always rules.

now that we are home.. i have no motivation to go do my errands today. its also pretty cold outside so it makes me less motivated. but i will. just give me a min.

while in sd i got my haircut and it feels great. its funny that even hairstylists can go too long without getting it cut. so it was great to have it done. it was much needed. i feel like myself again.

thats about it. (like i said... really not motivated today. haha)

intelectual emotionalism.

i dunno how much i've talked about my discipleship past.. but here it is: in 2007 a best friend of mine, carly, referred her aunt, aunt debbie, to me as a client. aunt debbie... is pretty much awesome. so when she told me about how she taught a discipleship group... i said "i'm in." after going to bible college... and now being married.. i suddenly though. "ok.. this life is for real. and i need to be purposeful with it."

throughout that year of sitting around aunt debbie's table God did an amazing work. it wasn't just knowledge, and facts, and sharing... it was an intimate relationship that was growing between me and my Lord. 2007 was the year when i started to really feel my hashimotos, i didn't know what it was then unfortunately, so even though it was an awful year physically... i experienced the Hand of Grace, and that was so much more important.

so here i am. in Los Angeles. with a call to discipleship. now what? i was getting so discouraged when we moved here and the doors were just not opening. but God is faithful and this year.. right when aunt debbie always starts her group. i had a group here. there are 5 us now meeting every saturday morning. to pray, eat, share, worship, and dig into who Jesus is. it's so awesome to see how much our heavenly Father provides all our needs. even our need for fellowship. (and accountability)

SO much is changing in our life right now. and even though it is scary.. we are not called to go through it alone. whew!

"that which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3:6
