Back from Mexico and Too Much To Tell in One Blog

Well the title is enough to tell you I had an incredible experience in Mexico. To say the least, it was life-changing. The orphans love so unconditionally and so freely, it's moving. It brought me to tears more than once. The LORD shines through them so brightly it's blinding. They have the touch to mend a broken heart, and to bring sunshine on rainy days. Some can't talk, but through their sincerity and actions, it's evident that they understand you, and truly care. I can't explain it, but they're magic. They have the power of the LORD on their side, and they use it for His glory. I encourage anyone to go to Carmen Serdan, Mexico and see for themselves how the work of the LORD is being done. More to come soon (:


Blessings bestowed upon thee,
Miss Mae

Long Time No Blog.

Hello world, so sorry it's taken so long to write. Whats Miss Mae been up to? Not much I'm afraid. I was at Loon Lake for the 4th of July, and got sun burnt, so now I look like a giant lobster. Though crab seemed to be more appropriate at the time. I don't know why, but I couldn't get this bad attitude out of my system! You know the feeling, Nobody cares about you, everyone is doing everything all wrong, and no one notices how hard you work, you don't deserve this (whatever it is that you are being wronged of). Then I realize, "Wow, Miss Mae, perhaps it's not them, maybe it's you. Someone really close to me told me a bit of wisdom one day, "If everyone else is being mean, or doing it wrong, maybe it's time you step back and check yourself..." So any time you start to feel like the world is against you, take a step back, pray, and see what the real problem is.

When I Think of Life.

When I think of life, and how I'm living it, where I'm heading, it scares me to death. I never know what my actions or words towards someone will effect me- or them in the long run. It scares me to just be traveling along this long narrow path of life not seeing what lies ahead. I have dreams of what I want to happen, and fears of what might happen. When I look back five years ago and think of all that I went through, I never though or even dreamed I would end up here the way I am. I would be much worse, I would be lost, broken (in spirit) and probably hurt to say the least. I am so blessed to have been brought through the trials I went through, because they have shaped me into the woman of God that I am today. With my testimony I am able to reach out to people who have had similar issues that I had, and we can understand each other on a level we wouldn't have been able to if I hadn't. I write this so you as my reader can understand me on a deeper level as well. I don't know what I'm doing in life, other than just allowing God to drive and me to just go along for the ride and see what happens next.

All my love, Miss Mae

Sweetest Italian Girl I Know.

My most inspiring friend, Sweetest Italian Girl I Know never ceases to amaze me. She would give you the shirt off her back if she needed to. You're probably wondering "Miss Mae, why are you telling me this when I don't even know this Sweet Italian Girl?" Well, let me tell you a brief history about SIGIK. ( I hope you caught on to the acronym)

SIGIK is the youngest of her family, a huge Italian family. and recently her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She just started her chemo treatment and has started losing her hair. She decided to go ahead and shave all her hair off and wear adorable head scarves and hats. SIGIK, being the ever-so-sensitive sweet 17 year old that she is, shaved hers too. I love my mother dearly, really I do, I'd die for her, but I just don't know if I'd shave my head for her. My sweet friend however, did it without hesitation. It was even her idea, and I am so proud to count her as one of my best friends. We need more people like her in this selfish world we live in. She really shows me what selflessness truly is, and I am SO thankful for a friend like her. Please keep her and her family in your prayers. :]

Grossest Thing I've Ever Done

Oh my gracious, I love my Auntie, but sometimes I fear she despises me. For example, today she made me roast a chicken, but that wasn't the bad part, the bad part was she made me gut it. Yeah, you know, take out the neck, the heart, kidneys and all. Grossest thing I've ever done in my life. But, I guess it was an experience if nothing else. God's preparing me, thats for sure. Hopefully, I can figure out how to show some pictures of her "cruel and unusual punishment" for whatever it is I did wrong. But I survived, and I know she did it because she loves me and wants me to be able to feed my future husband, whoever that may be, a decent meal every day... Honey, can't we just get a cook instead?


Thanks for the support,
Miss Mae

Just a Random Tidbit.

You know that saying, "April showers brings May flowers"? It has proven to me to be a flat out lie. Either you live in the desert, where it never showers in April, or, you're like me and live somewhere where it rains constantly. Where people got the impression that it is sunny in May because it was pouring in April is beyond me. But enough about the weather. As you know, I've been searching for a job until I am due to leave the country to Mexico for the mission. I have been searching for months with no avail. I was constantly checking applications and talking to managers and owners. Did I get a phone call? No, I did not. Then I went to my dear Auntie's house to help her and spend time with her and my sweet Uncle, and guess what. BAM! I was getting phone calls for interviews like, everyday. Of course, I am not home to receive these calls, and my "parental units" (parents) both work, so they do not answer my phone, obviously. So it's not until days later that I even receive the message that someone has called me. Let's see what God has for me when I get home, shall we?

Thanks for checking in!

How Rude of Me!

Please forgive my rudeness all, I realized I have written my heart out to you and you know nothing of me. As you know, My name is Miss Mae. Obviously it is not my real name, but fake names are always funner, don't you think? I was home schooled all through high school and am probably smarter because of it. You see, I am a very social person, and will do nearly anything to make my friends laugh. Including disregarding my homework :/. Anyways, I am blessed with a grand total of six brothers and loving parents. My oldest brother, Squid, is in the Navy and apparently loves it because I rarely hear from him. Then, Allstar, lives wherever he decides to park his head. He's a dork, but everybody loves him- yes, even me. Hahaha. Next is the All American Boyscout of America- He really is just that. He would live in the forest if he was allowed. He is 12 and we tend to butt heads a lot because he is taller than me, therefore believes he has authority over me, unfortunately for him, he is learning otherwise. Then is Mr. Studly.He is 10 and incredible at sports. All of them, Really, if you were to give him a ball and tell him "Go get 'em, Tiger," he would simply dominate the entire game! And last but not least are my twinsie brothers. They are more opposite than fire and ice though. They like to do just about anything to push my buttons when I am left in charge, but never fail to apologize right as my mom pulls up the driveway. Nevertheless, I love them too. Well, I guess thats a brief summary of my family. Thanks for reading my rambles. :]

Until we meet again,
Miss Mae
