Is she Mom?

She eats just like mom used to. She talks just like mom used to. She looks just like mom used to. She prays just like mom used to. She cooks just like mom used to. She thinks just like mom used to. She smiles just like mom used to. She laughs just like mom used to. She dances just like mom used to. She helps out just like mom used to. She loves just like mom used to. She cares just like mom used to. She hugs just like mom used to. She shops for bargains just like mom used to. She has fingers just like mom used to. She has crusty toe nails just like mom used to. She does grandma stuff just like mom used to. She belongs to church groups just like mom used to.

Is she mom? No, it’s my sista Isabel Rodriguez.

Today, she celebrates her birthday and what better gift than to be blessed with mom’s beautiful features. Isabel you are God’s created beauty full of affection, love, and delight.

I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Happy Birthday!
Love you always, Mari

Got Me Going

Love is on its way.

You have an ambitious nature and will make a name for yourself.

A faithful friend is a strong defense.

"Father in heaven, I commit everything I am to You today. Direct my steps. Order my destiny. Give me the plan to accomplish every dream and desire You've placed within me. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear."
