The Stewards

Manuel was closing our family devotion this morning in prayer and it went a little something like this:
M: (the end of the prayer) Father please guide us and help us to be better stewards. Show us where we need to renew our minds and not conform to the worldly things around us....."

Bella: STEWARDS?!?!?! Daddy why'd you say STEWARDS??! We're not the STEWARDS we're the OCHOA'S!!! Daddy what are STEWARDS?!?! I'm Bella OCHOA not BELLA STEWARD!

I'm sure GOD enjoyed that!

A day with Papa

My dad surprised the girls and I with a day trip to the Harbor. We boated around the harbor, ate lunch on the boat, and had a blast!! We love spending time with Papa...thanks Dad!

Alright Alright Already!!

She's back!! It took me a couple of weeks, some tears,a lot of praying, Manuel, Maggy, and Alison gently working it out with me...but the oxygen is back. I can hear them all let out a sigh of relief! My body needs it and is already feeling the benefits. I am VERY thankful for the awesome memories we made without it the past two or so months!! All the fun we had! Anyway, God used that time to bless me and to show me the pieces of me that I had let go. Pieces that were important to keep! So once again lesson learned and here's to breathing life!! (even if through a tube)
