Date day with my Joy... SRW!!

Today we had a fun date day, just the two of us.. We haven't done that in a LOOONG time. We started the day cleaning and making breakfast, then we went to church. Church was awesome. It was about Joy. It inspired me to seek joy more. What is your joy? Mine is many things but my 2 greatest joys are: 1- My salvation, 2- My husband. How amazing is it that our salvation can never be stripped from us. I am so lucky to have a God who promises me a life after this that is free of sin, disease, sadness, filthiness. And that it lasts for eternity.

Well i was "overjoyed" after the service, because i knew the rest of my day was with my 2nd joy, my hub. We went to the Padres game and had a really great time. It was wierd going to a baseball game with sean and not alone. I miss watching him play, but it was very fun to have a date in the stands.

We decided to take some fun pics while we were there. It was a long game... 18 innings long.. but we left early.

Hope you have a great week and find your joys in life!

PS.. My hat was my brother's when he was a lil boy.. Padres 1980's... Pure brown corderoy with orange writing.. CLASSIC.. love you christopher.

Looking over the Kings Canyon

Sorry fellow bloggers, I have not been blogging as much since we have been back in San Diego. I feel like we are home and therefore nobody really checks our blog anymore.. but I have been notified of a few faithful readers and they have voiced their disappointment with the lack of updates.. hehehe..

So since Easter.. we have been living in La Mesa next to the Walkers in the trai trai. Sean and I are currently unemployed. Sean has been working with Bob ( his dad)  a lot during the week.. and I have been working on getting a Nsg job and everything looked great to go back to Kaiser and work at my old job, but just this past week they told me that there is no need right now. So its been real frustrating. I feel so purposeless without working. I am now with an agency called Nursefinders that helps me get temp jobs. I was a school nurse sub last week and look forward to getting more temp jobs.

Sean and I are in a BIG transition phase. Sean really believes that God is not calling him to Baseball anymore. Therefore we are searching out what is next for Team Walker. As of now, we are planning on living in San Diego through the summer, then we will leave to go to Baylor in August for Sean to finish school. Then come Christmastime- Sean will graduate and we will come back home to San Diego. From there, we will see what the Lord has for us. It is an exciting time, but also a bit scary. We have been challenged and want to make sure that we are seeking the Lord in everything. We want our desires to match God's desires.

We have had a great time with friends and family since weve been home.

Hope you enjoy all the updated pics. I will really try to blog more often.. Thank you for all your prayers and support. We love our lives.. even when its hard.

Please pray for me. My Crohn's disease has been bad lately. I hate being sick. Please pray that I will have strength through my sickness.

Easter Lovin!!

I love these boys!!

the hub and me

We had a weekend jammed full of celebrating Easter. We had Melissa's bunny tea party on Friday, walker- easter egg hunt on Saturday, and easter Celebration on Sunday with my wonderful family. We had an awesome time in church Sunday morning. It was raw and real. It spoke to many hearts and made me realize how lucky we are to have a savior who died for us/me. Me, a silly girl who doesnt worship her God like she should. Me a chronic sinner. Me a girl who calls her God, "father" yet sometimes skip days talking to him and doesnt know Him as much as I should. I am so thankful, my God, father, friend.. accepts me for me. 

Anyways, our easter Sunday was filled with family and joy. We went up to my aunt and uncles in Fallbrook, where my mom, cousins, grandparents and siblings all ate great food, hunted eggs, and laughed a lot.

Sean and I are so thankful for the family God has given us. But most of all thankful for the eternal life we receive for believing in him.

Alive and Well!!

my beautiful sis and adorable diego

the cutest easter bunny ive ever seen!!

We are home in San Diego. We have enjoyed this week getting unpacked and settled in our trai trai.. We are searching out what the Lord has for us and what our next steps will be.

Today my sister had an adorable bunny tea party. She had it decorated so cute and the food was delicious. There were many tiny tots running around and it made it for a day of craziness and fun!

Sean enjoyed taking photos of the kids and I enjoyed holding the babies and playing with the kids.

Easter is such a fun time of celebration of LIFE. All these kids are so full of life. It makes me realize how short life is and how we need to make the most of it. I love seeing the innocence in kids and their care-free spirits. I hope that everyone has a great easter and we realize how lucky we are to have a sweet savior to die for us so that we may LIVE!!

"Released" into God's hands

Yesterday, Sean walked into the Astro's spring training facility ready to get treatment done on his injured oblique muscle. Sean has been battling his oblique being strained for the last two weeks. As he went to dress out for the day, he noticed his jersey was no longer hanging in his locker. At that point he know his time had just been cut short to play for the Houston Astros. The Astros decided that they wanted to allow some of their younger guys to have an opportunity and that there wasn't a spot for Sean. Therefore, he was released from the Astros . We felt a spectrum of emotions. From being shocked, frustrated, sad, angry, to excited knowing God is in full control and He will prevail. We began to see a different meaning to the word released. We felt that it wasn't fair, that they didn't even give Sean a opportunity to make a team. But after a lot of thinking and meditating, we realized that there is so much peace and joy in our God. He is our leader. He is in complete control of our lives, and find content in Him. He is the one who has allowed Sean to be released in his hands so that Sean and I can do BIG things for Him. We are excited to see what that plan looks like. Sean believes God has given him the talent to be a pitcher. He believes he can do it and do it well. Although it has affected Sean's pride, right now he feels more enabled than ever to succeed in baseball. Our plan right now is to return home to San Diego..( yes I am secretly real excited to come back home), Sean will continue to train and heal from his injury, I will try to get a 3 month contract with a hospital. But who knows, God might have a much different plan for us. Sean will then try out for teams in about 6 weeks. We believe that this release is a closed door with the Astros, but not a closed door to baseball. In the next few months we will be able to know more. Please continue to pray for us as we endure this exciting life. We appreciate all your emails, texts and phone calls. We have been overwhelmed with the support we have received. My sister sent us a verse that we loved! 

It is Proverbs 19:21

"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."

We love all of you and will be seeing many of you soon.
