vacations? yes!!!!


Gracias Dios! Thank God!

He has been so good to us, He is the reason why we do everything with so much passion. He bless us with health, with protection, provision, love for each other and love for others, and the list goes on and on… I am humbled by the all the opportunities He has granted us to work for Him.

Let me share some challenges and blessings with you:

The challenge: I feel like I am so not a good mom, I noticed Miguel having hard time to read but I thought is was just part of the process of learning to identify the letters, but then I noticed some other things he had trouble to identify, so I finally decided to take him to the optometrist, and wow he does need glasses! I took him to the ophthalmologist  and after some tests, she told me that he has astigmatism and needed his glasses, I was a little worried as they are not cheap…
The blessing: I got a NOT expected donation towards me and Miguel and it solved the financial worries, giving him his glasses makes me feel a little less guilty for not been aware of this before.

Challenge:
Working so hard and going to university at the same time has kept me too busy this year and felt almost like going to crash, Miguel also complained a little about me not been with him as last year.
My brother in law is a marine and he will be deployed over seas again, this is the 3rd time he will serve overseas and my sister will be with the 2 kids by herself, I wanted Miguel to meet his uncle Billy so bad… but we could not get a flight affordable.
Blessing: Billy and my sister live in San Diego, so we got a flight to Tijuana, Mexico that we could pay! So we will spend New Years with my sister and Miguel will meet his uncle Billy!!!

I am worried about flying into Tijuana, it is about 20 minute walk from the border and my sister will meet us there, (the military can not go into Tijauna) pray for Miguel and I the night of the 26 of december please!
We love to serve God the way we do, we love to serve Him with you serving with us, I honestly can not do this by myself, it is thanks to you, thanks to your prayers, your love and gifts.
Blessings to you all!
Serving with joy
Miguel Angel and Betty Merida
