Not just any dream

I love when I have moments where God reveals His plan to me. I absolutely love being in Lomita and in my church. I feel like this is where God has wanted me all along, and Tuesday night, it was confirmed.

I was in our weekly prayer night and I was agreeing in prayer with those around me, when I glanced up and I opened my eyes. Suddenly I was staring at the cross on the wall and out of my peripheral vision, I realized that I had been here before and that I had this dream. I could see all the people that were in my peripheral view. The one thing I remember from the dream, was that there was a little dark headed girl sitting next to me, and then I looked down and saw Esther, a sweet little dark headed girl, sitting next to me. That was it. That was when I knew that 4 years ago, when I had the dream, the Lord was showing me my future, that I would be here, in this spot, with these people and Esther. The awesome thing is, Esther is only 4 years old.

Now, I am as stubborn as they come, but even I can't deny that I am RIGHT where God wants me.

I have no reason to doubt that Man again!!!

Monday Mints and Menchies


I love Monday's. Although today is Tuesday, I still love Monday's. Mainly because it is my day off and I have no alarm to wake up to, no reason to do anything and I can stay in my jammies all day, if my heart so desires. Which it usually doesn't, it lasts until about 11 and then I have to shower and get dressed. My Monday was nice yesterday. I kissed my paycheck goodbye through grocery shopping and paying rent and then my afternoon was brightened with a trip to a new yogurt place, "Menchies", with my friend Melissa and her adorable kids! You walk in and they great you with a HUGE smile and the option to add a freshly made waffle cone to your yogurt! When you exit, they say, "Have a smiley day" Thank you, Menchies, I will! It completely hit the spot and I would recommend it to any of my friends, even over Yogurtland!! (Sorry to my Yogurtland readers)
I wrapped up the night heading to Long Beach to have dinner with a friend who I haven't seen in over a year and she came to town to visit family. However, I thought for sure that my Menchies would be enough munchies and hold me over until dinner. Then I got to the restaurant and the hunger pains increased. So when the hostess went to seat guests, I helped myself to some of the mints. Bad move. Not only did I feel guilty for taking the mints, but my mouth tasted like Pepto Bismol and so did my food. Lesson in all of this?? Take crackers, because you never know how long the wait will be.
