slowly but surely

I just LOVE this pic, it has nothing to do with my topic. but i couldn't help but POST the cuteness of it

So church and my Christianity has always been a big part of my life. I remember as a lil' girl my brother and me taking a bus (not the city ones) the church bus to church. It was our highlight of that week. They would get out candy bars out at the end of the day and ask q's about what the lesson was of church. Me and Martin always knew the answers.


Well Moi grew up with the Catholic background, but never practiced it after his elementary years, so I say he is a wondering spirit. :) Ne who, I brought up to Moi how important it is to me to have our lil' E grow up with a church background. I really believe it helps an individual become stronger with confidence, self power, conviction and lets face it morals. No one want to disappoint God. I think I've told Moi a million times that I really want him to go with us, but it never seems to get through to him. Well last week I felt someone staring at me when I was sleeping. It was Moi peeking at me, asking me if we were gonna go to church...HUH?!? yeah that was my question. What did I say that got to Moi?! Whatever it was, I was so happy and hopped out of bed and got us ready)meaning me and Lil' Man.


We headed out and were approached by the sweetest people welcoming us. We had a mini tour and man did I feel like, yeah, this is our place. I opened the programs for that day and saw the words Children's Christmas Show, automatically my mind wondered off to Eli being five years old and singing Extremely loud while waving at us. I got so excited. This is what I had wanted for SO long. Def a dream of mine. To be sitting with my two main men, enjoying a serman and singing my lungs off! I thought to myself, my lil' man will be running around this place, screaming and so excited to see his friends. I know I was getting ahead of myself, but it felt so darn good. Knowing that this is where my family will be growing up together. Becoming stronger and stronger. The craziest, well not craziest, but most shocking to us was the pastor. The moment we walked into the doors a nice man approached us and welcomed us so gracefully and loving. We thought he was just a volunteer and he even took time to, as I mentioned, to show us a brief tour. We both looked at each other in AWW..when we saw the pastor step onto the stage. It was the nice, sweet man who first welcomed us. I just knew. Yup, this is it. I loved the warmth and homey feeling of it. It wasn't huge, but wasn't small either. As goldilocks would say it, it was perfect :) 


On another note, Eli did pretty good, at the end he got a lil fussy cuz that boy needed his food, NOW! yeah, he's a good 19 lbs., so you can imagine. But it felt so good to go to church as a family. The lil' things in life, make the biggest differences and Moi going to church with us made me fall all over in love again. It was such a connection we had. It was how I always pictured us, but until today was never a real image. Moi knew how important it meant to me. So know I got the perfect first date (after Eli was born) for us. Cuz I know how important is it to him. Just gotta wait till my madre takes her classes for CPR for Lil' man and we will be off.
