Our "Girlie" Weekend :)

Warning: LOTS of photos. I had such a hard time choosing photos.

My "baby" and I left for San Diego--Starbucks in hand ;)--around 10:00 a.m Saturday. Our first stop was the hotel to "freshen up" for our Afternoon High Tea.

Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe. You can see it's a very "cutesy," cozy place. We were served a delicious, filling lunch of various tea sanwiches, scones, fruit, quiche, and dessert. Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe.The Tea Shoppe just happens to be in a quaint, little shopping area. So we had to check it out. Here are some pics of the shopping area.

Sunday we went to Sea World for a couple of hours (we have passes till the end of the year). I didn't take my camera inside, so I just took a picture of Ashley in the parking lot. I will admit, I am a crazy mom and I told her to sit on the roof of the car so I could get a good shot of the "Journey to Atlantis" ride in the background ... she was very happy to comply, though :)

After we left Sea World, we met Carlito and Carlos at Shoreline Village, where Ashley did a little shopping (she fell in love with this yellow dress ... notice that the bodice is slit to the navel ... hmmm), and we ate at Chili's.

Yes, she is! She is a photographer's dream. Lucky me! ;)

But then again, your daughter is very photogenic as well. I ADORE taking pictures of her (and I get the feeling she likes her picture taken as well!)

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

By Carmela
hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big picture that He has shown me so far?  Eve

Your "Fairy-Tale" Life

By Carmela
Your life may not look like a fairy tale, and it may certainly not FEEL like a fairy tale, but I am going to attempt to prove to you today that your Christian walk parallels a fairy-tale life.  😊  Initially, this may sound almost blasphemous to you, but I am so certain that I received this directly from God.  I pray that it encourages you to believe that God is working in your situation whether you see evidence of it or not.  He is such a good God, and such a big God.  😊 First, I would like to start with the main points that a speaker made at a Girls Ministries camp that I attended a few weeks ago, which were the springboard for what God revealed to me. • It took a lot of courage for Cinderella to respond to the prince’s invitation to the ball because of how her family made her feel. • It also took a lot of courage for Mary to obey and follow God’s plan for her life. • If we agree to follow Jesus and accept His invitation, and keep our eyes on Him, He will take us on a beau
