The Wisdom of a 6 year old.......

So, I woke up this morning remember what my nephew Jericho, at the time was 6 but now he's 7,  had told me a couple of weeks ago. I asked him if he was afraid of the dark and this was his response, " No, I'm brave! Plus, I know that God will take care of me!!" Now that seems like a sweet thing for a little boy to say, however there is so much weight to those words. To not be afraid of what is going on in the world around you because you have a clear picture of your Father, knowing that He will take care of you, He will never leave you nor forsake you.  The Bible talks of how we should have faith like a child. Talking to Jericho made me this come alive to me. When in my adult life did I decide to put more trust in man then in my Creator? You see Jericho has a perspective of God that most people lose through the course of life. His lens through which he views life has not been clouded by the logic of man. 

  If only we could all see the simplicity of the faithfulness of God through the eyes of a 6 year old. What would our life look like? What would this world look like? So, I challenge you the way God has challenged us, trust Him with purity and innocence,.... like my Jericho!! 

Random times with the Fellows

One of the scariest things I've done since being a wife.... Cutting Andrew's hair. Yes, he had a small bald spot above his ear! 

( Left picture is the final result!) 

Andrew's first Balloon Fiesta experience! We went with my parents and the Jeantette clan. Andrew was like a 4 year old on Christmas, he was so excited! 

Camping in the Jemez Mountains with some awesome friends!  Andrew and I are both outdoors people, well more him then me, but hiking and camping will definitely be a part of our life! Which is why Colorado is a good thing! 

So we had no idea what to be for the costume party at our friends house, so we tried to be Sonny and Cher. Andrew's lip has been bald ever since! 

I know we're a little late starting our marriage/life updates but we're trying to give everyone a crash course now! We love all of our friends and family, especially the ones that read these! We have had a blast these past 5 months and look forward to the future!

It's not who we are but WHOSE we are

Surprise!! We live in Colorado once again! We have been planning on moving to Denver,CO for a couple of months now but not sure when the right timing would be. The last week of December I was offered a job and a housing program opened up. Everything was set into alignment for us to make the big move! So on January 11 we loaded up a UHAUL and headed north to our new home in Aurora,CO.

 Before I go to far into the story, I should back up and tell you the reason we decided to move. So let's rewind for a moment... errrrrrrrrrrt! (My sound effects of rewinding!) 

Andrew and I started attending Church Alive!, a church in Albuquerque, back in early October 2008. On our very 1st Sunday there we ran into my old youth leader from the church I grew up at. He began to tell us that he was planting a church in Lakewood,CO coming next September. We met with him and his wife that night and our hearts began to be knit together.

From that moment on we were committed to starting Church Alive Colorado. There are 4 other families moving from Albuquerque to Denver in June, to help start this church. Andrew and I felt like we needed to move earlier to get the process here in Denver started. When the doors began to open for us we walked right through them. 

These past couple of weeks have been a little bit of a struggle, however God has proven His faithfulness through and through! I can honestly say that it has been the best week of our marriage thus far. We have grown together as a couple, fighting along side one another facing giants neither one of us have had to face before. God is on the move not only in our lives but in the lives around us. If there has ever been a time that I am clinging to the word of God it is now. I don't want to scare you and make it sound like we're in termoile but rather testify to God's faithfulness.

Here are some verses and prayers that we are confessing over our life...

"I was young and now I'm old yet I have never seen the righteousness forsaken nor their children begging bread." - Psalms 

"The Lord has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering." Genesis 41:52

In the name of Jesus I am the righteousness of God. 
 Therefore, I am entitled to covenant kindness and the
 covenant favor.  The favor of God is upon the righteous. 
 The favor of God surrounds the righteous; therefore, it
 surrounds me everywhere I go and in everything I do.  I
 expect the favor of God to be in manifestation.  Never again
 will I be without the favor of God.  Satan, my days in
 Lodebar cease today!  I am leaving that place because the
 favor of God is upon me.  It rests richly upon me, it
 profusely abounds in me, and I'm part of the generation
 that will experience it immeasurably, limitless and
 surpassing.  therefore, favor produces in my life
 supernatural increase, promotion, restoration, honor,
 increased assets, great victories, recognition, prominence,
 preferential treatment, petitions granted, policies and
 rules changed, and battles won in which I need not fight! 
 Thank you LORD!
