All Things Analyn

So I've been going through some stressful and difficult times in my life recently. I wanna get married, find a home for us (I get to/want to buy things....), teach TFC (Teens For Christ) Discipleship, and go back to school. I'm just being a wuss. I pray that I can "Let Go and Let God" but I'm the kind of person asking "Lord, can you show me? What does that look like?" Dude, I don't know about you but I'm praying for the wrong thing. In church I'm taught to "Just pray about it". I got so stress out about life that I got sick about it. Just enough sick to put me through the ER!!! Anyway, my lesson learned: Pray for peace in my heart, what ever that looks like, just give me a "chill pill"....Lift this burden of heaviness off me. For me, I pray that I can chill and Trust Him-whatever that looks like. Although because I don't know what it looks like, I'm scared (heart skips a beat) of what it does look like! Does that m...

Woahh, I can't believe it's 2011! Where did the time go? It has been a very long while since I've kept up my blog but I've been busy with some changes. First of all, I'm no longer in San Diego, I now live in Hawaii to be with my mom. I guess since I've gotten older I need to focus on my priorties. Richie and I are still together, although he lives on the mainland and I miss him SOOOOO MUCH! School came to a halt because of my move so hopefully I get to start that off again here on the islands. I started helping out with the youth at my family's church; they are an awesome and fun group: Teens for Christ, Hawaii. It does keep me young I guess...hence the need to stay fit and loose weight...lol. :) As far as my crafting, that too is on break, as soon as I have the space and tools it'll be back on track. That's for all for now!

I love Amuse artstamps! It's been so long since I've seen what the girls have been working on and their latest release is wonderful! Everything's rosey! OMG, I want it all! Today they had a blog hop and it was the most wonderful hop ever! I thing I'm gonna do it again! If you don't know what a blog hop is, it is a group of websites that are connected and you hop to each one to admire the artist work. It starts on the Amuse blog . <-click here to start. Anyway, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about my mom's card for Sunday. I haven't seen her in 3 years and I miss her like crazy! Hopefully I get to see her soon before it's too late. Well enjoy the card! Dets: Amuse-4bar Robin's egg blue solid notes, chair and lamp, flourish frame, happy mother's day, and flower branch. Nikki's latest work...She's getting really good at this! She loves The Greeting Farm stamp sets and the patterned paper! Inside is Amus...

*Nikki, my new card making apprentice* It's been a VERY long time since I've made a card yet alone wrote here....a lot has changed, I'll write about it later. I just wanted to post these pics of the new apprentice. Don'tcha just love the card?

Strength in the Faith of Our Heavenly Father "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation." Hebrews 11:1-2 HSE has taught me God is tangible and REAL, as real as cellphones, backpacks and Starbucks! It's been mind blowing and He continues to Keep it Real! Just as in the chapter of faith in Hebrews 11, without faith, I was unable to quit my job at San Diego Gas & Electric, quit school at California State University San Marcos, create new friendships and establish boundries with others, give up so many things I once held dear to my heart; to endure a life transformation that God had instore for me. He has turned my life upside down and right side up; shown me the ugliness of pride hidden deep inside, exploded the box of "my life", and will continue to work with in me till the day I'm dancing on streets of gol...

God is AMAZING!!!! There is so much to say, but that sentence pretty much sums it all. Yuppers. :) For the last 3 weeks, we have been on the "Love Out Loud" tour where we got to love on others and our mission was to make the LOVE of God tangible and real, show others that it is something that they can see, hear, and feel, introduce them to Jesus, so He can seal the eternal deal! He really is in control, though, not that I had to say it. God loves us so much the psalmist tells us: Psalms 139:17 and 18 "Oh how precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! I can't even count them. They outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me!" His plan is perfect and no matter how much you want your way, His way will be the only way. So you see, I had an opportunity to travel with the Israel team but God had other plans. Two days before we were to take off, I had become so sick I was not in the right state to travel ac...

Wow! I can not believe it's been Four months since I've entered in my blog!!! So much has happened in these short (but seems like long) months. First I've dedicated to God Five months to revolutionize my life and He did it in three! I've still got a long way to go but OMG, I have changed so much, I don't know where to start! Okay, here's the long story short (hopefully one day I'll be able to re-write it in more detail...) In the beginning (since my last post~) God was there...I've been interested in finding out more about a school my friend Jenn told me about. The Horizon School of Evangelism. Four months ago, Jenn mentioned HSE was having Vision Week-an intro about the school. I just knew I had to attend. I had a chance to visit twice before: Once during Jenn's Vision Week (the beginning of her semester) and on Friend day. I missed her graduation ~ partly because of drama (yuck!). The thought of attending HSE never really crossed my mind, just th...
