Top SECRET!!!

Yesturday, I acomplished one of my TOP SECRET, greatest desires. To have the CHANCE to boss around my little brother John and him ACTUALLY listen!!! See, it's like this, MY little brother John ALWAYS bosses me around, and to be honest, I don't really mind, MOST OF THE TIME! But you know, ocasionally, just every ONCE in a while, I think it would be nice, if he payed ME, his BIG SISTER some respect and LET ME TELL HIM WHAT TO DO! But NO! NEVER!!! Its ALWAYS gotta be HIS way and even though, I just do it, there is this little peice inside of me that is saying, Blah, blah, BLAH, WHATEVER, SHUTUP!!!! So yesturday, I am with my mom and Sheena in the van, my mom is driving home from a church even we had helped out with. We are about ten minutes from home when I get this BRILLIANT IDEA!!! ;)I reach into my mom's coat pocket, pull out her cell phone and send a text to my brother John, then I put the phone back in her pocket. My mom is just like talkin to me, she is like Oh when we get to the house, you can set the dinner table right away...I am like, of course, sure mom! Then her phone beeps with a text message, she looks at it, (Yeah WHILE she is drivin which is BAD!)then she looks at me all confused and says, John says, Ok. I just GRIN!!! She is like, WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM! I was like, Oh NOTHING, I just said, Please set the table My mom and Sheena like start laughing! I was like and he said Ok cause he THINKS it was MOM!!! HAHAHA!!! About five minutes later I walk into the house and there is John, SETTING THE TABLE!! I am tellin you, it was such a beautiful sight! I gave him a HUGE SMILE and was just like, "HI JOHN!" (SHeena and I just hi five on the sly!)He just like looks at me like, TRYING to figure out my OVER cheerfulness, THEN he is like, "Ok, I'm setting the table can you start loading the dishwasher for mom!" I am just like, OH SURE!!! Cause EVEN though he is ONCE AGAIN bossin me around, He is STILL doin what I said to do!!! YES!!! One life goal ACCOMPLISHED!!! But, Shhh...THIS IS TOP SECRET INFO! Although, I gotta say, It's probabley the HARDEST for me!!! It's like I wanna brag about it to him SOOOOOO bad!

Its SOOOO hard for me NOT to say anything!!!

LOL ALthough, he might just see it on this blog, cause I am ALMOST positive he reads my stuff ON THE SLY! (Like thats his top secret! He thinks I am BOMB! ;) Anyways, REMEMBER folks, a great way of bossin siblings around is by sending them texts from a parent's phone! [AND if you try this MAKE sure you say it the way your parent would. LIke when I sent it to my mom I couldn't make it all hyper and bubbly with exclaimation marks. Just plain and simple and yet NOT rude!!!] LOL Yep, yep, I am sitting here right now, STILL smiling, as I think about my brother, setting that table, it was AWESOME!!! But REMEMBER this is A SECRET!!!

OMW!!! Look----->

ADORABLE skirts----------> HERE!

The Orange Slices...

 For the last week my friend Sheena, from Manila Philipines has been here visiting us all. Sheena was EXTREMELY excited to see all the citrus trees we have at our house. Two lemon, Two Orange, one grapefruit, one pomegranite, and a date tree(No there are NO boys on it! HAHA!;) So on Friday, when it was ALL craZY cause I was like watchin like a MILLION kids...okaaaaaay it was ONLY four but when your TRYING to clean the house to...LOL So the kids start picking ALL the oranges off the tree and I am like OK its keepin them busy whatever. SO then they start like rollin them down the slide and I am like UH no!!! How bout we eat some....Sooooo I cut the oranges for them, you know the way we ALWAYS do...the orange smileys... Like in eighths or quarters

Well a few hours later Sheen comes out with some orange SLICES! She offers us some and I am LIKE OMW! I can't stop eating these, and ME, Sheena and the kids ate 15 oranges!!!

Sheena says that our oranges were addicting...

But to me there was SOMETHING more than just the oranges, it was the WAY she sliced them. They were soooo cool lookin and it made the SOOO easy to eat!

So everyday Sheena has been doing HER THING with the orange slicing. AND every day I tell her HOW much I like her ORANGE SLICES! I mean she is like standing there tellin me how she is like WOWED by my cookin and I am like, I am WOWED by your orange slicing. So yesturday I was just like HOW DID you think to slice oranges that way? She says that her mom taught her to do it like that.

So later on, I am talking about the Oranges Slices...AGAIN and she just starts kinda laughing...

and she says, that growing up she would FIGHT with her mom on how to cut the orange slices. She said that her mom would ask her slice oranges for her and she would just it real quick in the quarters and her mom would say No do it the way I showed  you! And she said that she would just get SOOO mad at her mom for wantin them ALL fancy. She said that she remember just getting IN TO it with her mom over the orange slices, but of course her mom ALWAYS won and she remembers just sitting at the kitchen table with TEARS STREAMING down her face, slicing the oranges, HER MOM'S WAY!!!

Now she is, here in the states, a place she has ALWAYS dreamed of going, and we are ooohing and ahing over HER ORANGE SLICES!!!! :D

"Mom's ALWAYS know best!"

Where did you come from?!

Meet ♥Georgie♥!

He came dashing into my life last Friday

and Immediatley made himself at home....
IN MY ♥HEART♥

 We were having a bunch of people from church over for my brother Abraham's birthday. Georgie just immediatley starts hanging out with everyone like they were all OLD buds. So I bring Denae into my room to show her all my latest in my room, (Which btw looks AWESOME and adorable!) and soooo she was like oooing and Ahing over my stuff and Georgie is just like sitting there like making comments and just talkin like he has lived here for YEARS and not just dropped off  like a few hours ago!

All of the sudden Denae just looks at him laughing and is like, "Georgie, where EXACTLEY did you even come from?!" He just kinda shrugs his shoulders like, I have no idea myself but I am here and I belong! I don't even know his last name. He is a foster child and his case manager asked my sister to do respite care for him while his foster dad went out of town. My sister was tellin me about it and was like saying that she didn't think she would be able to do it cause she had to work during the days, so I was like WELL heeeey I don't have a job...

I wish you all could have met him! He is SOOOOO FUNNY!!! He is this chubby, little Mexican boy with a crooked smile and a charming personality. He has NEVER met a stranger, he is LOUD, hyper and LOVES to eat! His two favorite books are Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and  Peanut Butter and Jelly Rhyme book! Ooooo and HE thinks whoopie coushains are like the greatest thing ever and he LOVES Spagetti. He made my room STINK at night (and it was NOT the whoopie coushian LOL) and he snored and talked while he slept!!! (I am tellin you, this kid was EVEN loud in his sleep!)

What I REALLY want is to ask you ALL to pray for this little boy!!! He is in foster care right now, and is in the process of being adopted by a VERY ungodly man! He will be raised his whole life in a perverted lifestlye and I want to pray that GOD WILL STOP THIS from happening! I am asking you all to help me pray that Georgie will be somehow be placed in a GOOD home! I know it seems impossible, but GOD IS ABLE!

Before coming in to our home Georgie had NEVER heard of God. He did NOT know who Jesus was.

But several hours before he had to go back home he looked at me and said, "I LOVE Jesus!"

He didn't want to go back home. He was sobbing and tears were streaming down his face as he kept hugging me good bye!

Never say, Oh God I have a BIG problem, but say,

OH problem, I have a BIG GOD!!!

WHERE did ♥Georgie♥ come from?!

He was only here for a few days, but I think he came from God...

God knew he could use some prayers in his life!

Whoever you may be reading this ...

Please stop and pray for a little 6-year-old boy named ♥Georgie♥!

Some people come into your life for ONLY a moment...

But you remember them FOREVER!!!

HAHAHA! LOL!

My Coffee Moment

So I am the coffee drinker in the house hold! I love MY coffee and drink it FAITHFULLY every morning. I usually drink it in the morning when my sister, whom I live with, is at work. However, she was home the other day, I am pouring my cup of coffee and as ALWAYS like it happens every day, some of the coffee leaks out of the pot as I am pouring and dribbles on to the counter causing a little puddle. My sister just kinda looks at me...I am like, Oh don't worry I'll clean it up. Then I go on to explain myself to her...it happens EVERYDAY, every time I pour my coffee some of it spills out and I ALWAYS just clean it up. My sister just kinda LOOKS at me again, then she is like, Okaaaaay if it happens EVERYDAY why don't you just pour your cup of coffee over the sink?! I just looked at her and was like OMW!!! Thats like such a GREAT idea!!! Seriousley, I was like wowed!!! I had NEVER even thought of that! I've TOTALLY been doing it too!!! (Yay me!) What can is say, SOME people have these big, brilliant AH HA moments, where God opens their eyes and some great mystery is revealed to them. I just have DUH moments! Like these little moments where I finally see what God has been waving in front of my face for the last 26 years of my existense. And I'm just like, omw, like DUH!!! At least God doesn't do the whole, Doota-do- hand -waving-and-hitting -the -chest- thing, to us when we finally get it! LOL Thankfully God is just patient with us to WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!!!

Because the foolishness

of God is wiser than men...

1 Corinthians 1:25

You like a...

"You look like a Snowman!"

My neice Mary Jo told me.

Then she went on to explain herself...

"Because your SOOOO white AND SOOOOOOOOOOO FLUFFY!"

"Uh, thanks girl! Luv ya!!!"

XOXOXOXOXO

♥Mary :)

Sugar Cane feilds...Ah ha! ;)

Here I am in Maui Hawaii in the sugar cane feilds...

As I was standing there, veiwing ALL the sweetness that is grown here,

It SUDDENLY struck me and I was like....

OMW!!!

 SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 
THIS is where God made ME!!! ;)

♥Mary

Hot on HIS heels!

                                                                                                              HOT ON HIS HEELS!
Guys, girls, have you EVER been HOT on someone's heels?! You know, where you have like a HUGE crush on someone and it causes you to do totally irratic, and pathetic things?! Like maybe you just sorta go just little bit on the STALKERISH side of life?! I sure have! Quite a few times actually to be honest. ;D  I mean I have done EVERYTHING from- well never mind I won't EVEN tell you all my secrets...However, there is ONE time that stands out more than ALL the other guys I have chased. When, I was 14, as you may have read in my story The Little Messenger, I had a HUGE crush on my pastor's son. I would do ANYTHING just to be around him. Wherever he went, I went.  If someone was looking for him everyone would just be like, Ok, WHERE IS MARY?! Find her and you'll find HIM! Cause they knew, where he was I WAS! I was HOT on his heels.

.

Its easy to follow someone around when you have a huge crush on them, but what about God? Are you HOT on his heels? I recently came across the Hot on His heels theory, while reading Peculiar Treasures by Robin Jones Gunn. In this book, the main character, 21-year-old Katie Weldon, a college student attending a Christian College. Katie is in her last year of college and is still trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life after graduation. She is talking to her student advisor and she says that she is just waiting to see what doors God opens in her life. She says the whole saying, You know if God closes a door, he can always open a window. Julia, her advisor kinda bashes this whole theory. She tells her that God is not limited to open and closed doors and that we shouldn't base our decisions on "The Doors of Oportunity." She says that we should base our decisions by being, "Hot on God's Heels!"

.

When Katie doesn't understand. Julia demonstrates her theory for Katie. Julia gets up and walks waaaaay across the room. Sits down on the couch, then says something to Katie. Katie can't hear what Julia says, so she walks across the room to Julia and says, WHAT?! And Julia repeats herself. "I said, "Thats it!" Katie is befuddled so Julia explains that they were together talking, but then Julia moved across the room. She said something to Katie, but Katie couldn't hear her from where she was, so instead of staying where she was, she got closer to Julia so she could hear her.

.

"Thats what I think it's like with God," says Julia. "If you want to know what he has to say you just follow him. You stay close. You ask and you keep asking, and you listen. He'll make it clear. The closer you are to him, the easier it is to hear what he is saying."

.

After reading this ALL I could say was WOW!!! It makes so much sense. We try and get the answer from other people, but all we need to do is get closer to God so we can hear WHAT he is saying. I recently lost my job that I have had for the past 5 years. It's kinda left me in a befuddled state. It seems like NO ONE is really hiring. Even in the stores in the mall, say that they are ONLY accepting applications. So I've just been kinda like trying to figure out what would sound cooler? Do you want fries with that? OR Do you want whip cream on your latte? LOL But I've decided that this year my goal is to be "Hot on God's heels." I don't know what all God has in store for me, but I do know that the only way I can find out is by getting close enough to hear what he is saying. I'm not going to just wait for him to open a door for me to walk through.  I think i'm gonna refocus my stalking skills onto God this year. ;) I'm FOLLOWING him!Where he goes, this girls going too! I'm "Hot on HIS heels!!!

 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;

and lean not unto thine own understanding.  

In all thy ways acknowledge him,

 and he shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3: 5-6

I have NO idea!!!

OMW you guys!!!

I am just standing there with the nozzle in my hand, my mouth hanging open! Water goes shooting out EVERYWHERE and Mary Jo's toy broom won't stop talking!!! It's like, "sweeping! Sweeping! You missed a spot! you missed a spot!" I am like OH no BELIEVE me...there is water EVERYWHERE!!! HAHAHA!!! Your probabley wondering, HOW this happened?!?!?! IDK!!! It just DID!!! LOL I was like SCREAMING!!! I am like okaaaaaaaay this is a Classic Mary Moment!

Totally IN LOVE!!!

Sooooooooooo I am TOTALLY in love with my NEW $5 purse!!!

I had FIRST seen this purse back in like June when I went shopping with Cara and Alyssa in PV Mall!

Alyssa and I were both exclaiming over it...

THEN I decided that I was gonna buy the purse for Heritage Conference in July...

So RIGHT before conference I went back to buy it..

HOWEVER I had never checked the price,

So when I saw $26.00 I was like OMW!!!

I can't pay THAT much for a LITTLE purse that I won't use that often!!!

Sooooooo I put it back and instead bought some other purses that were on sale for $5

WELL...RIGHT before Conqueror's Conference I made a little, (Okaaaay several little stops) to the Icing...

Was I EVER excited when LO and BEHOLD...

MY PURSE was on CLEARANCE for $5!!!

Soooooooo of course I bought it!!!

They have more if any of you girls want one!!!

Go to the Icing in PV Mall!!

I'm more like...

OMW! We have the same purse! *Squeals! *Hand waving! *Little dance! Omw! Omw! This is soooooo cool!

REMEMBER...

Good things come to those that WAIT!!!

 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength...

...they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary...

...and they shall walk, and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

This girl MAKES ME LAUGH!!!!

First Jestina just makes me smile. She sees me walk into prayer before church yesturday. She leans over and is like, "And there is Mary, with her smile and her laugh, bright as the sun!" I was like AWWWWWW!!! Then she starts lookin over my outfit and my hair and she is like, "YOU LOOK GOOD!!!" (LOL) I am like THANK YOU!!! Then she looks at my hair again and then again and then she just shakes her head and smiles! I'm like WHAT?!?! She is like, "Mary, where did you get that hair accessory?!" (She is referring to my little top hat with feathers and tulle and fluff on it) I'm like I got it at The Icing in PV Mall. She is like, "NO! You got that from THE Black store!" I was like laughing, "No I got it at.." She is like "Nuh uh!" You got that at The black store!!! I was like LAUGHING SOOOOO HARD!!! Then as we went around greeting people before church she was like telling them, "Mary got that hat at THE Black store!" And everyone was like OH REALLY?! It was SOOOO funny!!!

.

THEN the other day we were at my house, hanging out in my room, and she starts lookin around in my room and she is like, "Mary, does EVERYTHING in your room HAVE to be black?" (She is referring to the fact that I have pictures of my African kids up everywhere, INCLUDING HER!!!)So I look around and I am like..."Ummmm...okaaaay...ACTUALLY...These kids are WHITE, and this is WHITE and the wall is WHITE...Oh and YEAH, I'm in my room and in case you havn't noticed, I'm WHITE!!!" She just kinda looks at me, then she says, "Yeah, BUT your attitude is BLACK!!!"  I was like, "oh WHATEVER!!!" And we both cracked up laughing!!!!

Jestina is SOOOOO funny! We stayed up sooooooooo late the other night, talkin about guys and just laughin HYSTERICALLY!!! What can I say, THIS GIRL MAKES ME LAUGH!!! :)

OMW!!! You guys!! My sister-in-law just took Some AWESOME pictures of me!!!
There is one picture,(the last one) where I think I EVEN look angelic!!!

 Of course we all know THE TRUTH...BUT...LOL!!! ;)

My brother Joe and his wife recently started their own photography business this past April, Gintyimages.com  and it is going really well!

They have been getting weddings and events several times every month.

 At first it was just with Apostolic people in other church's, but now they are getting calls all the time from people that are finding them on the web. They are even had to turn some people down cause it overlapped other people's events that they were shooting for!

So for Christmas, we went in on in as a family and bought them a travel studio, so they have all the equipment a photagrapher would have in their studio but they can pack it up and take it any where!!! Right now its set up at their house!!! How cool is that?!

They called me up at 10 pm Christmas night and asked if I wanted to come over and pose?
LIke RIGHT then and there!!! I didn't EVEN have time to curl my eyelashes...I just said...

 OF COURSE!!!!

Getting Personal

I am unofficially our church messenger. Some how everyone just knows that if they need to quickley get a message to a group of people, the best person for the job is Mary!!! :) I am always getting asked to give out messages. Mary could you let everyone know we're havin a surprise party for Sis. Abbott Wednesday night after church... Mary could you tell everyone there is going to be a youth group picture... Mary can you let everyone know that the Ladies of Legacy meeting is closed...Mary remind everyone to bring their stuff for the Mother's day potluck...etc... And so I do! Usually it's in a mass text message.

.

Since sending out these mass text messages I have noticed something. I'll send out a mass text message to a bunch of people and usually thats fine. However, there are times when I NEED to get a response back from people. For example, one day I sent out a text message to our youth group, Hey guys! Remember outreach tonight at @7pm Who all is going? And you know what will VERY often happen? No responses from like ANYONE!!! I am sitting there like ok I guess no one is going to outreach. Like one person will call me, Hey are we still doing outreach tonight? I am like uh, I don't know. I'm thinking, Hmmmm...should I cancel it or what?! Then we would get to outreach and everyone had showed up. I was like OMW! Why didn't you guys respond back to my text?! They are just like, "Uh, I don't know!"

.

This happened several more times and I found it to be very agravating! So I decided to try something the next time I had to send out a mass text message. I had to send out a mass text message about my brother's birthday. So I sent out one mass text message as a reminder...Hey everyone! John's bday is tonight @6:30pm BUT then I wanted to know who was going so I sent out another mass text message to everyone but I worded it differently. I said...Heeeeeey are YOU going to John's party tonight? And you know what happened? People started responding!!! Everyone was letting me know weather or not they were going to the party! 

.

You know why? You know what the difference way? You know what made everyone respond back to my mass text message this time? The difference was that I made it PERSONAL! Even though I was sending it out to a bunch of people, I directed it to each person individually. There is something about us as humans that likes when stuff is personal. Think about Christmas cards. Isn't it just a little tacky when you get a beautiful, elaborate Christmas card, but the person doesn't even bother to give you any sort of personal message? But there is just something special when they take the time to say something to you!!!
.
I am glad that I can say that I have a God that knows how to get PERSONAL! Although the bible was written for EVERYONE, God has individual, personal messages in there, for each and everyone of us. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. HOW COOL IS THAT?! God thinks about me. Think about that!!! There are millions and millions of people in the world right NOW, and while God is thinking about them, He is thinking about YOU too!!!
.
God's NOT just thinkin about yo' daddy! He's NOT just thinkin about yo' mama! God's thinking about YOU my brother! He's thinking about YOU girlfriend! Think about how happy you would feel if tonight you got a PERSONAL text message from like your dream-come-true person. I for one would be like SCREAMIN AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS. (Then I would forward the message to ALL my friends in a mass text message! LOL) WELL God loves you! His word is filled with individual messages for you.  TONIGHT He is sending YOU a personal text message that says...

I'm thinking about you!

♥God

Oh TOTALLY! (HA!)

HAHAHAHA!!! LOOK AT THESE shoes!!!

Whatda ya all think?! Should I get them or Conqueror's Conference?!

PJ what do you think? Wouuld you aprove of them for your choir?

I was thinkin they would be GRRRRRRREAT for when I do the choreography!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

P.S. Totally J/K!!! ;)

♥Mary :)

The ways of God....

Proud of my NAME BRAND!!!

THE other day I was at Saver's, a second hand store. NOW...I rarely find anything at these kinds of stores for myself, but I still like to try!!! Sooooooo I have some friends that are just like sooooo totally NOT into thrift stores...which is fine, I could care less!!! Cause I mean lets face it, thrift stores are pretty ghetto and kinda stinky...but stuff like that doesn't really STOP ME! I mean if I can get a good deal AND still LOOK GOOD!!!!!! HAHA!!!
.
 So I am lookin and lookin, not really finding anything. Then I go down the shoe aisle and I see these shoes...they are like BRAND new and TOTALLY CUTE!!! I am like OMW!!! THEN I look at the brand and it's AMERICAN EAGLE!!! I am like OH WOW!!! AMERICAN EAGLE!!! WOW! Cause I like TOTALLY know that is some kind of really expensive name brand!!! I look at the price $7.99!!! OMW!!! I like CANNOT believe it!!! ONLY $7.99 for AMERICAN EAGLE SHOES!!! I was like OKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY I am SOOOOO getting these!!! So I bought them AND the whole time I am just thinking MAN!!! I can't wait to show these to my NAME BRAND FRIENDS!!! Cause like, the youth at my church, we're just NOT into the name brands, BUT I got some friends from OTHER churches that are like TOTALLY into all the name brands and I can't wait to tell them about my AWESOME DEAL on these name brand shoes!!! I just KNOW they are gonna BE SOOOOOO PROUD OF ME!!!
.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO the other day we're at Paradise Valley Mall. We walk into a store and I am looking around and ALL of the sudden I see it!!! I see AMERICAN EAGLE...MY NAME BRAND!!! I am like Oh look it's AMERICAN EAGLE..OH HEEEEEEEEY!!! AND THEN I just START LAUGHING!!! Cause guess what store carries MY NAME BRAND SHOES?!?!?! YUP thats right...PAYLESS SHOES!!!! You guessed it baby!!! ;)

I think I may have been mixing up American Eagle with that Ambercombie brand!

OH WELL...I guess I'll never be the kinda girl that knows her brands...but heeeeey...I sure do KNOW CUTE!!! AND I'm kinda thinkin thats ALL that really matters! ;)
