Happy Birthday!

onTuesday was our birthday! we can't believe we are 19 now! we had a little celebration on Sunday night with the family and close friends at our house!

Anna: I had my cooking class that day at INTECAP, so I woke up like every single day and got ready. The day was so much fun spent with my friends cooking and making some amazing things, Ruth never stopped saying me happy birthday and everybody was so nice to me, even people that I didn't knew it was my birthday stopped me to say Hi and congratulate me and at the end of the day this guy showed up with this huge balloon and gave it to me, goodness definitely a day to remember hahaha. it so funny! Had to carry this thing all the way back home in the bus, everybody kept staring at me hahaha well not me, the balloon of course.

came home and shower and got ready to meet Ale at San Martin. So beyond thankful for this friendship that God has allowed me to have. I have seen Gods love and care for me by giving me amazing friends, specially this one. Thanks girl for everything.

Andrea: my day was pretty much like every single day, went to the university and the sad thing was that i didn't get to see my friends, but oh well. I spend my afternoon doing homework and finally at night we went to dinner together as a family.

I wanted to go to L'osteria for a long time and finally our birthday was the lucky day. this restaurant is completely gorgeous, it's that kind of place that you immediately fall in love with it right away!

the food was delicious and our time was lovely.

It's been weird not spending our day the both of us together for the last two years. even thought we are physically apart i feel like this past years we have gotten closer and closer every single day. we are both our best friend and we donu't know what we would do with out the other. being a twin is possibly the most most wonderful, amazing, incredible thing that could have ever happen to me and i thank the Lord for the gift to having Anna has my twin.

+ the balloon was so cute not to take pictures with it.

He is enough

Today! God just opened up my heart and revealed to me things that I hide or actually I am in denial of. It hurts so much, i don’t want to accept it, but I have to. God is reminding me that He is enough to make me whole.

I don’t need anyone to be complete, or more friends, things, more money, etc.
He is enough. God showed me something & it really broke me into pieces. God is enough!
I just need to grasp of this truth all the time, every day!

Then I realized, God will break you into pieces to remind you that He is enough; and that He is the only One that you need for you to be made whole.
God is emptying me up, so He can fill me. Its hard but I know i’ll be victorious in this matter, God knows best. God is enough.

I realized I am nothing, I can't do this thing called life by my self,
I am weak. & God wants his power to flow through my weakness.

I'm thankful to the Lord for letting us have better things ahead of us then any we leave behind!

Last year as i said before was the hardest year of my entire life, i felt so lost in this world, i felt scared, I felt hopeless and frustrated. I felt like a failure, i felt so so alone, i felt like i was giving my 100% but it was never enough. i felt like i was blind, i couldn't see where i was going with my life. i felt like i was in a nightmare. like the life i was living wasn't real. it was so hard and for the first six months i will come home and cry for the rest of the day. i felt like time was no passing, i wished for 2014 to go fast and instead it took forever to end.

the last months were no so bad as the first ones, but i was happy it was coming to an end and i wished for a better year. as i remember last year, all the bad that was in it, I'm also thankful for the thing i got to learn and for those situations that make me grow and mature. I'm thankful for the only one that never left me, the only one that understood me, the only one that could gave me peace in the middle of the storm, the only one...the one and only....my Savior, my Lord, my God, my Jesus.

And at the beginning of this year i was nervous that it was going to be the same as last one.

i prayed for no more frustration, for no more blindness, for no more loneliness, for hope, for joy...

i believe in the promises that my heavenly father has promised, and specially this year i want to take every single one of them and keep them in my heart and carry them everywhere i go.

i want to live in His truth.

on January first, i have to admit i wasn't to excited about this year, but after this two weeks I'm pretty excited !!! 2015!!!, a new year, a new chapter, new opportunity's. new adventures, new people, new things.... new everything!

I'm thankful to the Lord for letting us have better thing ahead of us then any we leave behind!

Adventures in the City.

okay so today I did something that I wanted to do for so long.

Walked 5 blocks and stopped by this building, looked up and decided to walked in, whet to the elevator and pushed PH (penthouse)

No clue what to expect once I got there, but I need it to see the view from up there, the elevator opens and I see this huge PH empty, like a huge salon with absolutely nothing but big windows!

You could see all the city from different angles,

I was in heaven...and then the guard came to take me out of there, (ntee just kidding!)

but really it was the best!

here's to my little adventure of the day.

xoxo Anna.

Our new years trip // Honduras

we got there on the 27th of December and we stayed at this house with our grandma.

the next day our little cousins came to stay with us as well at the house and family came to visit in the afternoons. on the 31th all the family was there and we had a blast.

the next day we had a big lunch with more family and that was our last full day there.

the whole trip was a blast, we got to spent some time with our grandma and with the rest of the family, we love them all so freaking much and we miss them so much.

as we left on December 2 to El Salvador at 5am in the morning we all cried, its so hard to have our family from my dads side so far away.

we had so much fun with all of them and we look forward to the next time.
