Made to Shine in the Dark

    Bella's 16th birthday party was an absolute blast!!! The theme was neon. So everything was made to glow in the dark! 


    Her aunt, Karen, and uncle, Ty, from the States brought all the party stuff and cake mixes to make this party happen! This party would never had come together this perfectly and beautifully, if it weren’t for them!


    We got the boys neon paint to design their black shirts! Aunt Corenne, Neide, and many other people made 2 big neon birthday cakes. I tried to make brownies but it didn't go so well this time. We had beach balls and footballs that had lights in them, even the balloons glowed and lit up. Aunt Corenne went all out and everyone had a blast! Praise the Lord! And happy sweet 16 to Bella!

The decorations for this party was over the top extraordinary!!!

This was my shirt. Did you know that a triangle and a heart in the middles symbolizes adoption?
And I tried making yummy brownies but it came out... bad...

      Nope! They don't have it, or it's super hard to find, or it's too expensive.

Adjusting Once Again

     The Americans left 2 days ago. There were many tears shed including mine. I’ve only known them for 10 days and they are already family to me. I really felt like I was ministered by these lovely, faithful and pure-hearted disciples of Jesus. They are a gift from God and a demonstration of His love for all of us. For me personally, I felt that through this American team God was trying to say that He loves me and cares about me. He knows that I feel lonely in Brazil. He knows that I battle with anxious, helpless, frustrating and depressing thoughts. So He gifted me a dog 3 months ago. He gave me the chance to go to California a month and a half ago. And how He blessed me with the team that felt like family.       I not only received their love, care and prayers, but through their visit, I got the chance to see Hope Unlimited in a full scope. I never had the chance to visit boys who graduated from the program, see how they are doing, and pray for them. I saw transformed lives and live

Amazing Birthday Weekend

Something I've Never Wished For NO ONE has seen God at any time. But if we LOVE one another [with unselfish concern] , God ABIDES in us, and HIS LOVE [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is COMPLETED and PERFECTED in us.  1 John 4:12     Lots of things has happened and I should've blogged earlier but here I am now. I will share with you every blessing that has happened in the past few weeks.      First, IT WAS THANKSGIVING!!!!!! We had lovely friends from Indiana that came to visit us and we prepared a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner for all the boys and volleyball girls. We invited everyone we could! And we had a blessed time. It was really hard to practice self-control as we had mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, sweet potatoes and marshmallows, pumpkin pies, apple crumble, vanilla ice cream and the more! I did eat more than I should've but I had great fun with everyone.      Then we headed to Sao Paulo, a different State, for the Taylor Swift concert. In

A very WARM Christmas

 It's... beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Christmas trees gladly wore the colorful lights of happiness, Joyful noises fill the small plaza spreading cheer here and there. Behind the glamorous decorations, There's somebody who's at the end of their rope, But they don't know they are not alone, His name is Prince of Peace His name is Emmanuel, the God who is with us.  His name is El Roi, the God who sees.     I know I'm a little behind on blogging but I'll make it up to you guys. Christmas season was tough, not gonna lie. Yes, I missed my family. Yes, I missed being in Germany. But it was stressful because of how busy I was. I don't know how Aunt Corenne and the family can do this every year. Christmas is a BIG deal. When I mean BIG. I mean BIG . When I really thought about it, I don't mind it being BIG because I get why it needed to be BIG. These boys and lots of visitors that we had don't really have the opportunity to receive so much. So it&#
