I am now enjoying a calm and relaxing time at home. This is the time of the day, where I just rest. It is my scheduled time to rest and I enjoy resting! After all, that's what everybody recommends to all pregnant women, and now I understand why! I get so tired if I don't rest a little every day. I sometimes get even sick! So I'm caring about my baby and me, and I'm resting! ;) Most of you know that a couple of months ago we got to a point where the word rest or calm did not exist in our vocabulary. It was work work and work! And what's the point of living a life where you do not get to enjoy what God has given you or where do you just rush in anything you do including what God appoints you to do? To us, serving God is our main goal, and I knew we had to cut out some work when I realized that even the time I used for God, I used it rushing and worried about everything else! So we prayed, and God blessed! God blesses those that put Him as the priority of our lives. And I know I want to keep improving at it, but He truly blesses! I am now able to get up late enough to have a good night rest, have a longer time for my daily devotionals and prayer, eat a healthy breakfast for my little baby, check my emails, and just take my time to get ready for the day! I love it!
He has also given me one of the best jobs ever. Although we do photography and own this business, and we are still going to do it like we have been doing so far, I have another job I know I have to give more to, because it's for God! I am now able to serve God even at my job! What a blessing is that!! So God has allowed me to teach at my church academy 2 hours a day. I've been teaching for 2 days and I already love it! Apart from those 2 hours, I do office work for the Spanish ministry and help in the american church office a few hours a week. I had been helping before in all the office work for the Spanish ministry, but time did not allow me to help as much as I wanted. And I'm a computer nerd, let's face it! I love designing, I love preparing documents and I love helping and making other people's lives easier! Which is the job of a secretary! So here I am, being able to design church bulletins, websites, prayer cards, letterheads, slideshows, etc etc as part of my job and loving it! It is a job where God has placed me to serve Him and I'm very thankful for that!
The rest of the day, except church days, I am able to get home early, relax, then cook, and get the house looking good. As a wife, it was a little frustrating not to have all the time I needed to do this! So I am so thankful I can now cook, be able to eat healthy mediterranean food, which I miss so much! And take care of the home. Then I have plenty of time the rest of the day for photo shoots, photo editing, album designing, etc. But at least, I know have a more organized schedule where I can do all the things that need to be done including my daily resting and having quality time with my wonderful husband! :)
So I wanted to share with you guys how much I love this and how thankful I am to God! He is taking care of us so much!
By the way, in case you were wondering what I'm teaching, I'm teaching English! yessss! sounds contradictory since I'm a Spaniard, but I have always loved grammar in every language! And computer, one of my favorite things to do! Now I'm off to finish today's supper! Lentils or how we would say in Spain: Lentejas a la Riojana! Healthy, yummy, and easy to make! Now, the brownie I probably will end up eating afterward will ruin my healthy habit, lol
Stay tuned for more picture posts!!! We have many pictures to share with you!
Have a wonderful day and thank you for being so faithful to read our blog!
