Update in September :)

Sometimes I just feel exhausted. Completely and utterly drained, body, mind and spirit. Usually this is when I have neglected my time with God, which I'm afraid has been the case. You would think that as a Moody student I would be drowning in His presence. But this is what I have learned: my studies at Moody, while they are extremely beneficial on so many levels to my spriritual growth, can never take the place of my personal devotions with my Lord.

I missed my simple Bible reading with my heavenly Father this week and I am going to strive not to do so again. My classes at Moody are wonderful, and I am learning so many challenging new things, but if I'm not keeping up my relationship with the very One I am learning about and striving to serve...it's all for naught.

So things have been crazy for me these last few weeks. A few changes to my schedule: I am no longer working full time at the mechanic shop, I only work part time. We are also no longer doing the Christmas choir this year due to the juggling of my other ministeries.

La Semilla tutoring has officially begun and is off to a great start. Pray for me! I have nine 3rd graders that I tutor Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Pray for knowledge of course, and also for creativity and wisdom as always. Their names are:
Delia
Vanessa
Karen
Danae
Edwin
Caesar
Christian
Alexis
George
I'll try to get a picture up soon!

Awana has also been kicked off (this last Tuesday). We have 6 girls in the class room I lead with Kara (my co-Awana leader and the director for our T&T girl's club). Pray that I would stay in God's word so that I can minister fully from Him.

Daughters of David dance group presented at one of our leader's (Vidalia) Quinceñera. They did a spectacular job! We had our first Parent's Meeting yesterday and I gave out the schedule for all the parents and we went over the rules and requirements for our dancers. All in all it went wonderfully. Praise God!

October 22nd the girls will be presenting a Woman's Conference so please be in prayer over this! Also pray that God would give an abundance of creativity and joy to our leaders in choreographing the upcoming dances. And wisdom (again) for me as I try to figure out how much to pull out and put into this Ministry in order for it to be effective and for neither my leaders nor me to become overwhelmed with the responsibilities.

That's all for September, blessings on everyone who reads this and does pray for me, my family and our ministeries. Bendiciones!

Forever and Always,
