Home, sweet home

There is nothing like being home! People enjoy staying at home; some reasons...because they can watch movies, get a good night sleep at their own beds, sit around, read, organize and so many more that proof that being home is the best!

Being at my home church, is the best that could happen for me last weekend. I have a home church back in Colombia, the church where I started growing Spiritually and learning more and more about the Lord. He gave me a home church at New Jersey and I love it! I love the Pastor, his messages, and my family...the people that goes there, they are a blessing for my life and now, for my husband's life too.
We were not sure if we could make it...For our schedule, it seemed like we could not go because of surgeries and recovery time, but I know that my God will give me the desires of my heart, ALL of them (Psalm 37:4), and I know I keep on saying the same thing over and over again, but it is true! You can find the same Bible verse in my old blogs and you'll probably read it again in the future ones but it is not because I can't find anymore, but because I have many, many testimonies of how true it is and how awesome our LORD i;, He is faithful, whatever He said he does, nothing return empty to his mouth (Isaiah 55:11)

The first time I walked in Glad Tidings Church, Frenchie gave me a huge, HUGE hug that I haven't forgot; after that hug I kept walking and the presence of the Lord met me right there; it was on February 2007 and I still have the same feeling when I walk in...the presence of God truly dwells there! During the year that I was there, I found a truly godly family in Christ. When I was back in Colombia last year, they prayed for me, I was truly on their hearts and the amazing thing, is that I am still!!! I am not living close to them, except Brian and Amanda, but I know they kept me and my husband on their prayers and it's incredible to have a family who love us and miss us in that way. I grow up spisitually with them and I love them all.

I found a mom right there at that church. Denise, a sweet mom I'll always keep on my heart. She loved me as a dautghter and I could not be more blessed or tahnkful for having her
-A crazy brother. Stepehen, who is really Denise son, therefore I made him my brother, just because we have the same Heavenly Father and our mom (Denise) on earth. It was his idea, but he doesn'n know yet; I thought about it just the Saturday that Craig had his surgery, for a text message Stephen sent on my cell phone. He is a good man and nice brother!
-Good shephers. Pastor Snyder. He is really used by God and had touched my life so many times and so many ways, as the same that his wife, Sister Snyder.
-Good friends. The Snyder's girls, that aren't girls any more. I love Amy, Amanda and Esther. Althought I had share more time with Amy and Amanda, Esther is always on my prayers too.
-A good Colombian woman. Deisy, who actually knows my father's family...isn't the world small?
-A very good friend. Amy; I love my dear friend, Pastor and sister, I wish she was living close by. -A good friend of my husband...Brian, who told Craig about me before we met, I believe the Lord used Brian to bring us together

And the one who was SO excited about seeing me last Saturday, the one I just saw a couple times when I was there. I didn't know her that much from 2007, but I started knowing more about her through her blog. She has gave me encouragement when I am not asking for, but just looking to find it. I jumped from her wedding day to the first year birthdya celebration for her son... Heather!
My little ones: Bo, isn't really little anymore.- Charity, Ocean and Silas..the Swomley clan,- and Pj's, how cute are all of them.
I could name all of the people that I know from my home church, but they know how much I love them and keep them on my prayers and my heart. They are my family in Christ and I am truly blessed by having them all.

"How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere" (Psalm 84:1,10)

Thank you Lord for my home church, blessed the family I have in there...In Jesus wonderful name...Amen!
