First entry and...me

Hello,

Thanks for stopping by, I just wanted to tell you a bit about me and why i decided to create a blog. My name is April, and I live in Arizona. I was born and raised in the wonderful and colorful city of EL Paso Tx. Full of culture, tradition, and mostly Hispanics the city is still unlike any other. You can taste it in the food, the job market is one i would say that is both competitive and catty. What took me to Arizona?
Well, I married a wonderful man , and we decided to start a new life, a new adventure of our own. To the hot, & desert valley we went. I took a while for me to consider this my home. Going on almost 4 years now, I a starting to see my new home for what it is. Culturally , VERY diverse, hot, more opportunities to expand your dreams, and your wants and desires.

In my time in AZ i have acquired two hairy monsters (Dogs) Penny, an apriot Pomchi Pomeranian chihuahua & Sookie a spoiled Maltese. Although i don't have any children yet, these two pups add so much joy and happiness in my life.

The reason i decided to start a blog is part of my mission to change the world one heart at a time. Daily i send my sisters and mom and husband a scripture, or a word inspired by God in hopes that it will inspire them to inspire others and so on. Yesterday my sister said to me "you should start a blog". Although i'm quite a follower of blogs and enjoy them and keep up with them daily, i never really thought about starting one of my own. After some thought I, decided it would be a great way to share a part of my life with you, my favorite things, talents, gifts experiences, but mainly the Gospel in a new and fresh way. So i will try to do this as often as i can.

Before this get's too long i think i will give you the bottom line.
I love God, I love my family, I like vintage anything, I enjoy cooking, and often find myself incorporating the old into the new, and the new into the old.
Stay tuned... good stuff in store :) But for now I leave you with a scripture to set the tone for today.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength.

This has been my favorite scripture since I can remember learning about who Christ was, about 6 years ago. I had never heard the scripture nor had I ever read it. A dear dear friend whom you will learn about soon, introduced me to God.I remember hearing her recite it, and would lean on it through hard times, and I began to think , if it would be ok if i did the same even though i didn't know about God, or even read a page of the bible. I didn't understand all He had done for me, I didn't realize what a price had been paid and ransomed for my soul. It was amazing to me that the bible was written with a plan ... a bloodline that went through thousands of years to bring about this amazing Christ Jesus.

IF you know God, or you don't ....I encourage you to trust, that God is bigger than anything, and Has the amazing ability to turn and change situations in an instant, overnight, and sometimes though our waiting it takes long becasue we continue to hold on to whatever tt was that we were never meant to carry or cling to.

God has been known to perform miracles to those who believe. Think about your situation, your life today, and know that if you believe in Him and His power, know also that YOU can do all things if He is the center of you, and essentially the strength that is within you.

Gods Love and blessings to you this wonderful day. :)
Now back to my coffee sipping.
