A Little this and That of 12.2011 and 01.2012

I loved December. I loved 2011. I am really loving 2012. 

A few things I love about December is that its the birthday month of some of my favorite people, dinner get together, food, Christmas and New Years Eve Oh did I mention food? So much food, fun and laughter with family. I wouldn't change it for the world.

December started off with my beautiful mothers birthday. It was small and intimate. My grandma made some wonderful, authentic bean and cheese empanadas and our favorite spanish rice. We had so much fun celebrating my mothers birthday. I love her so much.

January 2-5, 2012

What better way to start the New year then to attend Passion 2012 Conference. How to put into words what Passion is. ha 

I went to a conference...uh, no, not a conference, a gathering, uh not a gathering, an event called Passion. It was unreal...uh, like maybe the best week of my life. 

for one there was like a ton of people there...but, the main thing was that it was just so powerful that it's hard to put into words exactly....because I think my whole life pretty much got turned inside out at some point and I'm just now deciding if I even want to put it back again because I am thinking everything has changed and I see everything different than I ever have before...everything is so much clearer than it has been....and, wow, we had our eyes opened to the 27 million slaves in the world...and we are not going to stand quietly by...i mean, not on our watch....we are going to do something now....I mean, we did something....something crazy, but we are going to do more...i'm gonna do more....i'm not having a funeral....Jesus has raised me up and I think the whole world needs to know about it...about Him....about Jesus. 

Over 45,000 Students gathering to worship God.

 Do Something Now...Students give towards freeing the 27 mil modern day slaves!

 FREEDOM in CHRIST

"You have a mighty arm: strong is your hand, high Your right hand. Righteousness & justice are the foundations of your throne; steadfast love & faithfulness go before you." Psalms 89:13-14

" Freedom starts with Christ"

 Luccy and Babbs! So beautiful!

Laughing is fun. Friends are a blast. Pictures are priceless! 

I am so blessed to have a wonderful sister and great friends! Atlanta is such a perfect place to capture awesome memories.

2012...

I can't wait to see what you have in store for me! My prayer, 

"that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak."

(Ephesians 6:19-20 ESV)
