Lake IZABAL!

Last week was "Semana Santa"! we took of to the lake house on Wednesday morning with my grandparents and spent the whole week over there. it was just the perfect time to rest and get away from our normal routine and enjoy the hot weather.
there's no much to do there than swim in the pool + lake, eat coconut, sleep, relax, and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake and sunset, and all of that is exactly what we did.

it was nice to make this tip with the family and spend quality time with all of them.

 The lake was a dream. all calmed and blue and what can I say? just perfect.

Beach, Sand, sun and family = perfect trip

From the Heart.

Truly meditating in God's word this morning! 

There's a whole new chapter in my life that I have to face, adjust & adapt! Asking God to fulfill me every day with new strength, grace & Love! 

As I will be more time alone in the city & working long hours in the weekends I am praying for God's presence in my life, that I not feel alone in this (for those of you who know me, know that this is something I struggle a lot) that I see + feel Him in all things, working in my life and using this time to really, transform me and create in me that dependence in Him.

Praying that this opportunity & experience can bring me closer to Him and that I may experience Him in a whole new way, & that at the end of this journey I could give Him the glory for all that He has done in my life!

God knows best & I am beyond thankful to be where He has put me in this World! 


Read this today and thought to myself this is it: 

"Life is in Christ, of Christ, through Christ, by Christ, with Christ, for Christ, from Christ. 
To live is Christ, and to die more of Christ." 

Praying and declaring to live for Him daily where he has planted me in, to be His witness in this world! #fromtheheart

Yesterday morning my Dad and i made a quick trip to Belen. It was a short trip, but a perfect one. It was so relaxing just being with my dad and with not much to do there. Lying down on the hammock while reading a good book, taking a walk, enjoying the nature, drinking a tea while walking in the woods, spending time with my Dad, and just waking up in this place and breathing air full of nature was good to my soul. I'm thankful for moments like this!

NEW CHAPTER!

Back to blogging again! Woot woot! Guys I (we) have been so busy lately with so many things, culinary school + projects, youth group, church and so much more! I really don't know where to start this post, there's so much To tell!

 1st: Culinary school is going great! In March I finished my practices at the restaurant in Intecap which means that now I have to do 800 hrs of practices somewhere else, restaurant or hotel (my choice). Since the beginning I wanted to be Westin Camino Real which is one if the best hotels here in the city! I could say a dream! Ruth (my best friend from culinary school) and I both wanted to get in at that hotel so badly! Got all of our paper work together and send it to the lady in charge of that in the Hotel. we both got the interview the same day, hers at 3:00 pm and mine at 3:30pm,

goodness we were so nervous! I left that day knowing that was the place God wanted me to be! You know when people say that just by being in a place you feel it, if it's the place or not, for you,
well I felt it there, i really saw myself working there.
After that day all that was left was the waiting and the praying! 2 weeks past and I still had no response from the hotel and I was starting to get worried and anxious about it! Every day I would check my email if there was some news and no, never. I would always be waiting for my phone to ring and that a random phone number would pop from the screen, and maybe it be from the hotel, but no!
And then thursday night as I was in the shower after geting home late the phone ring, someone was calling, and as I glimps with my eyes I look it it was a random number, got out of the showerd all wet and responded, IT WAS THE HOTEL SAYING THAT I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO DO MY PRACTICES THERE!!! What!???

Woohoo! Ended the call, got back in the shower and finishing and ran out to my parents room to share the news!!! We all so excited! And then Ruth just texted me "Anna!!!" I knew in that moment that they have called her too! Called her right away and in that moment, goodness we both were speechless! I can't believe it.


I am going to learn so much in this place and I just can be more thankful to God for opening this new opportunity and for putting me in this amazing place! I know is going to be hard and this new chapter will bring new challenges but God as always will get me through this with Victory and I can`t wait to see how the Lord will continue to use me and how He will change me and transformed through this.
I start in april 6th! Here's to this new chapter of my career and new adventures!

xoxo Anna.
