One Year Later and going strong....with God's help!!

Our one year anniversary has passed and we're going strong and can only thank God for that. It's been a rough year but without that Faith in God in our lives and in our unit I don't know if we would have made it!!!
I sent an email out earlier to my close friends expressing the love of God and that that intimacy is what one needs in their life. I know some of you may be reading this and think, "Wow she's gotten all churchy and God like..what's that about?"

If you had the year our family had, you'd know why. It's not that I am trying to get preachy with anyone, its just when people have no faith they look at their future with such a dim light, they need some hope.

Last night I was looking at my wedding video (again..I love reliving THAT moment) and our best man, whom is also my brother-in-law, said. "I look at Michael and Dleesaa and the life they have ahead of them and how fortunate they are to have found each other" something to that effect. You know what? Without Michael I don't know if my spirit would have made it this far. Its been broken, split apart, ripped apart, spit on, laugh at, to the point of What's the point? Then Came Michael....and you know what? He lifted my spirit to new heights that I could never imagine it could be lifted to and you know who did that? God..God did that. He saw that my life was dim and needed hope and he brought this amazing man in my life, who tells me, "No worry Babe, there is nothing WE can't handle together". I love him sooo much and the love that I feel for him is so deep that the Love I have for God is mucher deeper because He has allowed a love like ours to exist. That love is so indescribable because of what HE has done for me..for us and to continue to do for our family.

My wish for all of you is to have this type of Love in your hearts and tell your children NOT to be ashamed of that Love. It's that Love and love of your family that will get you through all the hurdles in life that will come your their way.

Til my next Sermon...;-)
Much Blessings,
Dleesaa

Stress keeps you up at night...

Hola Mi Gente, it's been a while since I've been on here and I know some of you are wondering where have I been. Well my marriage is great no problems under this roof. We ARE however, having issues with the in-law house. I hoping nothing too determental but that is only up to the in-laws and what they're going to do about it. Has nothing to do with us. I just pray for them.
What's really been happeing is this whole mess with the mortgage industry. Some of you who are aware know that the industry took a big hit with its subprime division, making it harder for companies like my husband's to survive. It's funny I've always been the optimistic one out of the two of us and now i find myself being the pessimist. Who'd have known that we'd switch roles when it matter most. I stay up late at night, not surfing on the web for new shoes or what trip to take but how we're going to manage to pay the mortgage, babysitting, car payment or how will i cover my mother's rent this month. Sometimes, like now, I cry and pray for a miracle..a change of some sort just to make it through the next week. There are some out there that think just because my husband is part owner of this company we get what we want through company funds, what they don't know is how they are stuggling to make sure they're employees get a paycheck for the hard work they put in to help them function. Some people just have it soooo twisted.
My family and i leave for New York this week to visit family and i'm actually looking forward to it..one, because i love New York so much...what's there not to like ;-) but mainly because we're taking two friends that have never been there and there is nothing like when you see a city you've been to a dozens of times before but this time through the eyes of a person who is seeing it for the first time...THAT'S an amazing emotion. I want to take them all over the city even to the spots that others may feel are.."not worth it" but to these two...EVERY part of the city will be worth it. I get so jaded by all the crap surrounding me everyday sometimes i lose touch of the things that really matter and this trip will be perfect for me to gain the perspective i have lost.
Hopefully it won't be too long before i'm on here again, telling you all the crazy ass shit i'm going through. Besos MiGente...I wish you enough!!!!
