Comics Vs Super Heroes

When my Dominican Danish (husband) and our 4 Diamond sons start talking about comic books and super heroes, their eyes light up and their voices get louder ... In my opinion, I always see my hubby as Superman and I'm Lois the Reporter ... #‪‎Hehehe‬,

 

Moving on, (in a whimsical fashion) the only thing that's needed is a batch of homemade cookies (I prefer chocolate chip or something with almonds) and a pitcher of milk to bring debatable conversation to a delicious halt ...  It's Friday night, therefore enjoy yours with your love ones ... #‪‎HaLLeLuJaH‬,

A Monumental Mark

Parenthood is similar to a roller coast ride; because it entails a few ups and downs, besides those unexpected detours that pop up along the way. Although, what I love about being a parent is that while everything is going on, it always leaves a monumental mark in the family's heart ...

 

Let me tell you why, you see, each one of our 4 sons, does something that makes me laugh louder than a little kid at McDonalds (‪#‎Hehehe‬). For instance, Carlos Jr. #1 loves to hug & kiss me, while with his Papi he likes to play rough house games, Josue' #2 is quiet; but funny; because when he does or says something, it leaves us speechless (in a positive way), Esteban #3 is truly a work of art; on account of, when he's on his PS4, I feel as if I'm playing along with him, and Elias #4, my secret agent in the kitchen, he's always ready to taste anything we cook or bake. Oh well, I'm wife, and co-parent of 4 humorous sons that keep my heart beating in a loving way. The bible is so true when it says this ...

 

Psalm 127:3 (NLT) - Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.

Whipping Out the Camera

We're so grateful to the Lord because the youth of our congregation are seeking His presence more everyday. #‪‎HaLLeLuJaH‬, I'm always the one that has to resist whipping out the camera every time one of our 4 handsome sons share some sort of good news with my GEM & me. Like early today, Esteban #3 brought a biblical teaching to the Church (thank You Jesus), and I was wrestling in my seat; because all I wanted to do is capture that moment. On that blissful note, this is what we saw today ....

 

2 Corinthians 2:14 (HCSB) - But thanks be to God, who always puts us on display in Christ and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.

 

This is truly an awesome winter break for us and we owe it all to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit ... #‎Amen‬,

To The Point

Sunday Service was full of surprises for the congregation and the Advincola family, too. During the Worship Service the Lord spoke to everyone present through an upcoming preacher that has a Pastoral calling over him. ‪#‎OhYes‬, The message was deep and to the point, with a Biblical foundation you can taste miles away ... #‪HaLLeLuJaH‬,

 

One more thing, tonight's Preacher was Brother Josue' (our Diamond son #2). What left the congregation speechless was that Mr. Blessed (that's what we call Josue' at home) doesn't like to talk a lot; but during the Sunday Service, he allowed God to have His way ... #‪‎ThankYouJesus‬,

Mission Accomplished

Society has numerous needs and wants; but not everything can be obtained right away. We're living in the Supply and Demand Generation. For example, a baby needs: love, food and some occasional playtime too. If all of this done then your babies or kids will wake up in a better mode.

 

In other words, we're also living in the Give and Take Era too; because kids demand attention and parents supply affection. Here are a few tips for you moms and dads that want to delight in some quiet romance time. Set aside some time for the following:

1. Play with them (the kids) till they're a bit tired or close to being knocked out.
2. Serve them up enough food (maybe even their favorite dish) so they can go to sleep with a full tummy.
3. Cuddle up next to them (the kids), read a bible story, pray for them and let God do the rest

By doing some or all of the above Mrs. Wife & Mr. Husband, you'll enjoy a delightful night, just like this verse describes ...

 

Proverbs 5:18-19 (NCV) - 18. Be happy with the wife you married when you were young. She gives you joy, as your fountain gives you water. 19.  She is as lovely and graceful as a deer. Let her love always make you happy;  let her love always hold you captive.

Today's Preachers, Tomorrow Leaders

Saturday Bible Study, now the Lord used an upcoming Preacher in a Spirit filled matter, to administer to the congregation. What God allowed, us to view and hear is conformation of this ...

 

Romans 12:2 (NCV) - Do not be shaped by this world; instead be changed within by a new way of thinking. Then you will be able to decide what God wants for you; you will know what is good and pleasing to him and what is perfect.

 

Oh yes, for God's Glory (ALWAYS) the young Preacher was our Diamond son #4 - Elias Jacob ... 

 

Care to join us in the continual praying for tomorrow's leaders, which are today's youth?

Happy Birthday Elias

On this day, 22 years ago, the Lord blessed my GEM & I with our last bundle of joy Elias Jacob. While my GEM (hubby) was repairing my laptop; because it was acting up, all that I could think about was the day when the doctor told us this ... "It's a Boy". #ThankYouJesus, Before this baby boy entered our life's, my Dominican Danish & I constantly asked the Lord what should we name him ... When we least expected God told my husband Jacob and then He (God) told me Elias, so we came to the conclusion that this future leader would be known as Elias Jacob. If you look up the name Elias, it means The Lord is my God ... #HaLLeLuJaH,

Elias's nickname at home is the Professor; because he's constantly looking for new ways to come to the aid of our family. In my heart and mind, Elias Jacob is a continual reminder of his Papi (my Love Boat). When our 4 Diamond sons return home from school (college) they all have a question to ask their father and me. What makes me laugh is that Elias first asks for his blessing (that's a Hispanic tradition) and then shares a few long and deep hugs and in between them Elias asks me how was my day ... #Awe,

A lot of people ask me, aren't you upset because you don't have at least one daughter, my reply will always be the same "my husband & I only prayed for sons and our Heavenly Father answered us. Happy Birthday Elias, your love, determination and seriousness is a God given gift; so don't change it ...
