30!

I've been 30 for almost 3 months now and I'm so behind on even sharing about it.

This year, I wanted an epic birthday.. who doesn't?  It's a milestone!  I'm joining the 30's club!  Anyways, not sure if I was going to have an epic birthday due to life, my amazing husband surprised me!  It wasn't a surprise for very long because I found out about it but I was so excited!

My birthday present from him and my family was a trip to New York.  I finally got to see the family lake house in Schroon Lake.  I've been waiting to go there since we have been together.

Schroon Lake, NY

This view is gorgeous!

It's a beautiful place and I can't wait to visit there again!  It brought back so many memories when I used to go to Mentone, AL every year in the fall.  I love the mountains.  I love creation.  One of my favorite things to do is just sit outside and listen to nature.  I love listening to the wind blow through the trees and the birds sing.  

One of the main reasons we went to New York is for this: Revolution Rail Co.

I saw this cool thing called rail biking on Facebook and shared it with my husband.  Once he figured out that it's in the Adirondacks, that's when he decided to plan my birthday trip.  This place is awesome and I cannot wait to do it again.

Basically, you bike along the Hudson River for about 3 miles.  Then you get to take a break and play in the river (if you so desire).  It's a beautiful place and we really enjoyed being able to play along the rocks for a little bit before heading back.    Here are a few pics from our time there.  The best part about doing this is that two days later we were rafting down the Hudson under that bridge!

On my actual birthday, we took it easy that morning before we went exploring.  I got to see the quaint town of Schroon Lake.  It's an adorable town with some good shops and restaurants.  It reminded me of Gilmore Girls for sure!

We ended the adventure of upstate NY with white water rafting with the Adirondack Rafting Outfitters.  Y'all, this company is amazing.  The guides are nice, very knowledgeable about the area and wild life there.  Most of the guides have been doing this for over 10 years and have a background in forestry or other water rafting.  Our particular guide was friendly and has been in forestry for over 30 years.  So, he definitely knows his stuff! It was an amazing experience to go down the Hudson River for 17 miles!  It doesn't feel like you have rafted 17 miles, although, you will have a great night's sleep afterwards! 

My favorite part of visiting upstate NY is seeing the family lake house and hearing all the stories of how my husband's family has done fixing up the place.  I also enjoy seeing the photos his grandmother has of the family.  It's a beautiful thing.

The last few days of our trip was spent in the city.  His uncle took us on a little tour of places we wanted to see.  We went to Chinatown, which is my favorite!  I finally had some authentic Chinese food that I had been craving since my last visit home.  We had a great time visiting with his aunt and uncle and exploring. 

Central Park

I definitely thought of 27 Dresses when I saw that house on the lake. Ha!

Leaving NYC - on the plane

Catching Up!

It's been another few months since I have last updated.  It is mainly due to certain priorities that I needed to focus on.  With that said, I will probably being a few posts on certain things that I have been wanting to share.

I should be able to start sharing in the next few days.  This year has a been a great year for me and Sean.  God has been so good and gracious to us.

Raising a Culture

I met with a good friend yesterday and we both decided that we want to encourage each other more in things we want to do... for me it's me posting more blogs regarding my life for friends and family to stay in touch with me.  

I recently read a book called Culture of Honor by Danny Silk.  It's an amazing book.  You should read it... I learned so much while reading this book and I wrote this post below in May and now I want to share it with you:  

May 21, 2017

I have seen so many people traveling lately on social media.  Most of it has been for vacation. I also know quite of few people will soon be doing missions trips over this summer.  

I love seeing people travel. I love seeing their photos and how they see beauty wherever they are. I love how they get inspired of the beauty around them. 

Now I wonder... I wonder if they are changing the world or is the experience changing them, for the better. 

I am sitting here also wondering when will it be my turn to travel the world again.  I miss the adventures of traveling.  I miss the spontaneous feeling you get to have while traveling.  I miss so many things of traveling and yet I am so content of where I am right now.  I am learning how to explore my surroundings in a small town or driving 45 minutes to explore a bigger city.

I enjoy the stillness of where I am and where I live.  There is so much peace here.  I am enjoying the painful experience of the healing that is happening in my life right now.  It’s weird to admit that but it’s true.  I’m learning that I need to reopen myself again to the Lord and to others.  I know that the Lord is enjoying this walk with me.  He wants me to be free of all strongholds.

As I’m going through this process I am realizing that God wants us to build a new culture.  He wants us to build a culture that is seeking after His heart.  I feel that He is doing this in our group so that people who come to visit will take this with them back to their homes.  Whenever we travel we always want to bring a little bit of that culture back with us, hence the souvenirs that we all purchase.  I believe we are going to be a culture that people want to “purchase” part of it to take back home with them.  Except, that this culture will not have to be purchased.  However, there must be a healing process to give up our selfish ways that hinder us from going deeper in our walk with the Lord.  You can’t purchase what God has done for you.  You only have to accept it.

This culture that is being built is also a family that is being properly placed by God.  The Lord is showing me that my idea of what a family should look like is not what He has designed it to be.  I’m allowing Him to show me where I need to make adjustments in my life to see how He has this family chosen and how it operates. 

---

As I've been in this season of learning, this book has helped tremendously for me.  It has helped clear some things up for me and it also has helped me re-evaluate how I process my life and certain situations.  I highly suggest everyone to read Culture of Honor.

Remaining thankful

I found myself wondering, "What would the world be like if everybody had her mind-set?"  She just reconfirmed for me a million times over that it's up to us to choose contentment and thankfulness now -- and to stop imagining that we have to have everything perfect before we'll be happy. 
Joanna Gaines

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Magnolia Story.  If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it. It's such an easy read and you feel like you're listening to Chip & Joanna speak to you, rather than reading it.

I love hearing people's stories of their life.  We can all learn something from each other.  Joanna was learning what it means to be content where she was in her life at that time and it made her be creative with what she had.

Sometimes I feel like it's hard to stay content and thankful in life.  It's especially hard when you are not where you want to be.  Making the effort to stay thankful is challenging but it's worth that fight.  Sean and I decided that we will make that effort to be thankful.  We have written down "I am thankful" statements and we read them daily.  Since we have started this daily ritual, we have been tremendously blessed by things that God has done for us.

When you start thanking the Lord for what you have or for what He has done, it shifts the atmosphere around you.  It's also okay to start saying that you are thankful even if you are in crabby mood.  I heard someone teach on that a while ago and it truly shifts the atmosphere as well as your mood.  If you have never tried it I highly recommend it.

Perfection can be an evil thing sometimes.  I strive for perfection and it has caused me some issues.  I've been learning that I don't need to be perfect since I can't be perfect.  I have learned to praise God during the times that I can't get something right.  I'm really learning that I can't have everything perfect right away while we renovate our house (my patience has been tested).  I want everything done and my house in order.  I know it will come so I just praise and thank the Lord for our home.  I thank Him for providing everything we need and what we have done.  It's been a great learning process for me.

For the Lord is always good and ready to receive you.  He's so loving that it will amaze you -- so kind that it will astound you!  And he is famous for his faithfulness toward all.  Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for he keeps his promises to every generation!
   -Psalm 100:5 (The Passion Translation)

Planting Roots

It's been a little over a month since have lived in our fixer upper home.  I'm still in awe that we have a house.  This home is our miracle home.

Three weeks before we left Florida we found out our housing fell through.  When I got the news of our housing had to change I honestly didn't know what to do.  My flesh wanted to panic, cry, and complain but instead I had peace about it.  I knew it was Holy Spirit giving me that peace.  So instead, I took a deep breath (maybe more), talked with Holy Spirit again to help stay calm and trust, and called Sean letting him know what happened.

Naturally, we started hunting for another rental property.  We looked for a few days and could not find a decent property that we liked or in the price range we wanted to stay in.  So our real estate friends suggested we look into buying a home and we decided to go down that route.  They were willing to go visit any home we wanted to "see" to make sure it was suitable for us and that nothing else was wrong with the house.  I don't think we even really "looked" at many houses.

We saw this house online and I immediately fell in love with the outside.  As we looked at the property details I knew this was going to be our house.  I told Sean that this home was going to be ours.  Our friends went to go look at this house and we put an offer on it within the next couple of days.  We never saw the house in person until after the contract was pending... That's God!

This home is a miracle.  The Lord orchestrated every part of this process.  I had moments of worry and doubt but I reminded myself to trust.  It's hard to trust when you are walking by faith and into the unknown territory.  By trusting and remaining faithful of God's promises to us we got this beautiful home.

This house has so much potential and we are excited to live here and make it come alive.  There are lots of updates that need to happen (every room) but we are so honored that we get to do it.  It's wonderful to know that the Lord has entrusted us with this home to make it our own and to know that His love will resonate here.  This home has been consecrated back to Him.  This home belongs to Him.

Transition

Transition seasons can be tough.  They can also be fun.

This transition has been an adventure for us.

When we lived in Florida, Sean and I could not do much.  We were always busy with work and working at the church.  I do not regret being so busy but we did not take vacation time or do much around town.  We also could not financially do much.  We know that our time in Florida was training for this next season for us.

Since we have left, Sean and I have done more together than we ever have.  It's been amazing.  It's been so nice to do things together and just spend leisure time together.  God has blessed us to do things.  We have gone to Waco, TX for Silobration and I've been able to go home (Alabama) 3 times to see family and friends.

It's been great to have the flexibility to do what we want to do but also to serve people throughout this time.

There were some hard parts during this time because we solely have to trust the Lord.  It's not always easy but in those hard moments I would just say, "I trust You, Lord."  It's been a great time of growing in my faith.

We know that the Lord is going to be doing some great things for us soon.  I can't wait to share the great things He does for us when that time comes!

In the mean time check out some of our photos from the Silos. :)

We saw Chip!

Birthday/Going Away Shindig

These people in these photos and some that are not in these photos are the ones I miss dearly.  These lovely people became our family.  These are not all of the photos from that night but we had a great time fellowshiping and loving on each other before Sean and I left.

I hope to share more about each of these families who have impacted our life and I can't wait to see them again.

I'm so thankful for Angela and her husband, Jim, for letting us always party at their home.  They have an amazing home and peace permeates it.

the best group photo we could get :)

My dear sister, Ana, & her little one, Micaela

We love this family! 

Global Esther's Ministries family. This group right here.. I will always be thankful for them.  They have helped mold me, they invested in our marriage, & I will never forget that.  God has brought this family to us forever.

New Season, New State

That's right!  The Sotomayors are off to Texas!

We will be leaving Florida at the end of September to make our way to the great state of Texas.

Back Story:

During the revival at our church last summer, in July (specifically), the Lord told me that Sean and I are being realigned/readjusted.  Naturally, that also means we are in transition.  We weren't exactly sure what God was doing or what He wanted us to do.  So we stayed where we were because it's not smart to just change or move out of the position you are in without any direction.  

That time has come for us to move!  We have been in a transitional position since November 2015, physically.  God shifted us out of our local church.  Then we went through some unexpected job changes where we had to solely rely on the Lord for our income.  It was not easy for me or Sean but it was a great test.  The Lord has provided for us during that time of income and it was wonderful to see what He was doing for us.

Why Texas?
Back in April I asked the Lord what our we to do next?  I was asking should we stay in Florida and if we are to stay, then what will we do here.  Nothing was happening here and we have no ties to stay in southwest Florida.  In May, we heard how God is doing some great things in Texas through some of our friends.  Our friends were telling us what God laid on their heart and that God is telling them to move to Texas.  As Sean and I were listening to this, we both were asking if this is what we are to do.  By the end of our time together on the day we met with them, all I could hear over and over, louder and louder, "YOU'RE GOING TO TEXAS."  I'm freaking out on the inside as I kept hearing this.  I was trying not to get excited or be moved by my emotions.  God continue to confirm this to Sean and I following the next few weeks.

We are not completely sure what our role or our purpose yet, ministry speaking.  We are not concerned by it either.  God told us to go and that's what we are doing.  We are not moving to be a part of ministry staff.  We are going to be a part of a community that move in the prophetic and apostolic.

We are so excited for this new season and new chapter of our journey together as one.  God has been confirming this journey for us everyday and He has been taking care of all of the logistics that need to be completed.

We are so thankful for our time in Florida (even the heat & humidity).  We have established an amazing kingdom family here and we will miss them terribly.  We know that our season in Florida is over but the family and community we made in Florida will be forever lasting.

Please be in prayer for us as we make our journey to Texas!!
God is going to be doing some great things!

Apologize to your body

I have you ever thought of apologizing to your body?  I haven't either until I watched this sermon.  I have watched this three times and I will probably watch it again from time to time.  This video reminds us to be loving to ourselves.  Whether you are a man or a woman, we all need to watch this to remind us to love ourself.  I hope you enjoy!

America's Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!

It's a slow and relaxing day in the Sotomayor household today and this weekend.  We are preparing for a big transition in our lives (not a baby); more details on that at a later date.

I've had a longing in my heart lately to spend more time with the Lord.  It's been a little hard due to changing jobs and learning a new field.  It's been absolutely amazing but that desire and longing has always been present.

I didn't realize that I've been trying to put old wine in a new wine skin.  I've been listening to some amazing sermons lately and one topic was to stop trying to do things like you did into today's life. That means that my life back then cannot be fitted into my life today.  My life back then was great and my life now is great.  It looks much different but I'm learning that I have to let that old life go and be flexible with my time, even though it's not what I want.  I must be willing to change my routine to spend time with the Lord.  That is very hard for me because I love routines.

I woke up early this morning so I could do some work and spend time with the Lord.  I have done little work and just spent time with Him, praying, journaling, and reading a couple of scriptures.  I woke up with a thankful spirit.  God has been so good to me and Sean this year.  It's been a season, a year really, of transition for us.

Transition isn't always easy.  It's about a season of flexibility, humility, pruning, and discipline.  One thing I have been praying about during this time is to remain thankful and have a spirit of gratitude.  I don't want to lose that.  I don't want to become entitled with the things that our Father has given us.  He can easily take it all away.  I'm not one to be patriotic but I have learned over the last few years that America is great and we must support it as a whole, even when we disagree with the choices of our leaders.  America is the land of the free and the home of the brave.  We must pray for our country.  God's mercy is new every morning.  Every morning we get a new chance in this world.

I'm so thankful for His new mercies.  I'm thankful for His loving-kindness.

Well, this post is not where I wanted to go but I think it's meant to be.  I hope you enjoy the thoughts that were going through my head this morning.  I hope you enjoy your time with your loved ones on this 4th of July.  I truly appreciate all the men and women who serve daily to keep America free and great.  You are the heroes of this country.

We give praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks, Your wondrous works declare that Your Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.  - Psalm 75:1 [AMP]

[I apologize for my rambling. I feel like I am all over the place in this post and I have more to say but at this moment I can't articulate it into words]

Happy 4th Birthday!

Happy 4th Birthday to our furbaby!  He's adorable, cuddly, and so loving.

  

Personalabs

I've joined a company call Personalabs.  This company helps anyone who wants blood work done without seeing a doctor first.  It's great for those who do not have insurance, who are under insured, and those who are not vaccinated.  

How it works:  It's simple.  You go to the website to purchase the lab you want done.  We are partnered with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics.  You can choose which lab you want to go too.  We have a doctor on staff who will write the order for you and it will then get it emailed to you.  You can print it or you can just keep on your phone.  You then can to go to the lab that day to have your labs done.  Did I mention this is nationwide??  Yep, it is..

Use ASH2016 to get 15% off your order!

I truly believe in this company.  In this day, you cannot get labs done this easy.  If you don't have insurance, you have to pay to see the doctor to get any labs done; and now the labs are no longer included in your visit to the doctor.  You will then have to pay almost $500 for one visit!  Now, it does depend on why you are going to the doctor so it may not cost that much but it's getting more expensive.  These labs can be costly but it depends on the test you need to order.  However, it's still cheaper to see the doctor.

This is a great tool to check on your hormone levels, cholesterol, lipids, and so many more.  These are things that we need to know about so we can keep our bodies healthy.  We are in a society where being healthy is very important.  It's almost becoming obsessive topic [depends who you talk too, I think].  However, the Lord is putting this on mine & Sean's heart.  It's becoming a passion for us to get healthy and physically fit.  It's something that we must do to fulfill the call He has for us.

So, check out the website and if you are in need to get some lab work done, then order from the site and use my code to get 15% off.

A testimony in the making

The last post was about Sean and I starting a new season in our life.  It's safe to say that we have done just that!  So many things have changed for us in the last few months.  We have both had career changes where we have to rely on God.  Our faith has increased in Him to provide every need and He has done just that.  God wants us to be available for Him.  When Sean and I said "yes" to Him in being available for Him, God expedited us into the season we were expecting.  But, we did not expect this season to come so suddenly.  When I look back on the prophetic words of 2016 all I can remember is the word 'suddenly' and how to expect the suddenly's.  It's a great year to expect them and to know that they are from God.  He wants us to be ready to move for Him.  He wants us to be available at all times.  I'm realizing that the more available I am to do His work, the more I see how He excels me.  I'm experiencing it now.  He has done so much for me already this year.. and it's only March!

Sean and I are a 'testimony in the making' (as I like to say) in this new season.  We are still walking out this new journey in our lives and I have enjoyed every aspect of it.. whether it's been good or tough.  It makes us stronger.  It makes us one.

So, are you ready to be available?  Are you ready to be willing to do things for our Father?  If you are ready and take that step to do it all for Him then you will never regret that decision.  God is going to take you places that you will never imagine!  He's doing that right now for me!  You will be blessed beyond measure if you start to become available for Him.

And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. - Philippians 4:19 NKJV

To God be the glory.

A New Season

It truly has been a long time since I posted on here.

I have been in a season where I have been silent.  A season where I was rediscovering myself.

The silence I have been enduring is definitely from the enemy.  He's been whispering in my ear saying I'm not qualified to do the things I want to do, amongst other lies he has been inputting into my mind.  It has been a roller coaster in my mind for a LONG time.  During this summer's revival meetings for our church, the Lord has been slowly reminding of how much He loves me.  He's been reminding me that He sees everything thing I do and telling me that He is proud of me.  A couple of months ago I was praying with some precious people in my life and the Lord set me free from past hurts and rejection that I have dealt with for years.  It was such a wonderful feeling.  The following day, I experienced more freedom when the Lord reminded me that I was still trying to please MAN.   (I had gotten upset about something so stupid and I was asking God why I was upset.  He said gently that I was trying pleasing man and not Him).

The mind is where the battle takes place behind the scenes.  We all know this... so many people deal with this issue.  It's absolutely ridiculous and we MUST TAKE CONTROL OVER THE LIES OF THE ENEMY.

I truly know that Sean and I are walking into a new season for our marriage.  This new season is part of our destiny.  One thing that I am going to share has been weighing on my heart to read again.  It's one of those things that you are so glad you highlighted in a book.  I love that God is doing something great in us because what I'm about to share just burns inside me so much.

What makes a bride a bride is that she knows that she stands utterly alone in the eyes of her beloved.  She knows that she is the unique one and the favorite of her husband.  This is why it is so crucial that each heart goes on a personal journey of bridal love.  We each have to stand alone within the fire of His gaze and allow His affections to be deeply personal.  We have to know and feel like the favorite of the Lord, standing utterly alone in His narrow gaze of desire.
   Deep Unto Deep by Dana Candler

I love this paragraph from this book.  It's one of my favorite books to read.  It reminds me of how much our God loves us.  I long to be His bride and I long to see His eyes.  I'm so excited for this new season for Sean and I to be more of one unit and be a bride for our Beloved.  God is so good.  It's time to not be silent.  It's time to be loud with our love and loud with our actions for Jesus.  It's a new season of making His name famous.

Inheritance

Last Friday was Sean's birthday! He is now 30!  We went to Ruth's Chris for dinner and enjoyed some amazing food!  They also gave him free dessert for his birthday.

On Saturday, we went to a friend's house and celebrated his birthday with some of our closest friends here in Fort Myers.  These people have truly become our family and it was a beautiful day to celebrate Sean's life with them.  I found this idea for his cake online.  Sean's favorite cake is Red Velvet.  So our friend Robyn, who owns Heavenly Sweetz by Robyn, made his favorite cake and added regular M&M's in the center.  It was delicious!  Make sure to get her for your next party!

One thing Sean truly wanted for his birthday was to have those who pour into him on a regular basis pray over him.  On Sunday, we were able to do that.  It was such a sweet, sweet blessing.  This year is going to be an incredible year for him and I am so honored to stand along side of him as his wife.

The reason why this post is titled "Inheritance" is because in the Jewish culture when Jesus was walking the earth, at the age of 30 is when the first born receives his inheritance from his father.  The time comes for the son to take over the family business/inherit the trade of his father.  We strongly believe that Sean is receiving his inheritance this year.  We can't wait to see what will happen in our lives!

Last but NOT least!!  My little brother and Sean share the same birthday.  This guy turned 12!!  It's crazy to see how much he has grown!  He also loves his long hair!  I'm so proud of this kid.  He is so smart and I know he is going to do some amazing things with the knowledge that God has given him.

Preparation

So it's been a while since I have given an update.  Honestly, I don't have the time to always write it down!  So much is going on and I'm trying to keep up!

Now then, my children, listen to me; blessed are those who keep my ways.  Listen to my instruction and be wise; do not disregard it.  Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my door.  For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.

  - Proverbs 8:32-35 (NIV)

One thing that has been going on with Sean and I is that we have felt God truly put this in our heart.  Sean and I had a conversation about a month ago on how we want to be healthier (we've had this convo multiple times).  This conversation was different though.  We have friends who are also aligning their bodies & their hearts to what the Lord wants for us.  We had the conversation of "what if"... 

"What if something catastrophic happened to our world?  Would we be ready?"  

Our answer was no at the time.  

Our answer is still no at this present time but we are starting to prepare ourselves for the "what if" and "what could" happen in the future.  The Bible prophecies these things and we believe we are in the last days.  We no longer have time to be slumber and be so drunk in the worldly things that we cannot even see what is happening in the spiritual realm. 

With this being our conversation on that day, we decided to find a new gym that has classes to take rather than just working out on our own.  We found a gym that does crossfit, bootcamp, and strike zone.  This is the perfect solution for us!  Sean can do crossfit and I could do bootcamp.  Sean has been wanting to do crossfit for a few years now and I finally caved in and decided that I will do it with him.  We have completed our intro classes and today we did our first crossfire class this morning.  It was a great first class as well.  The best part was that one of the owners taught our class and he really focuses on form and technique.  I look forward to doing more and getting stronger.

We are in a time to no longer be lazy.  We must get ready for what's to come.  We must follow the instructions of the Lord.  The Lord is pressing our hearts to get ready for Him, to get ready for His will for our lives.  I want wisdom and I want to be blessed because I listened to the Words of the Lord.

We have also been changing our diet slowly so that we don't get burnt out so quickly.  One of my favorite things I enjoy making is smoothies!  I love my smoothies!  They are so filling to me and I love just sipping on them throughout the morning for my breakfast.  The one pictured below has become a favorite recipe of mine.  It's a banana, peanut butter smoothie.  It's full of protein which is so good to have after working out.  Protein helps repair your muscles after working out.  Don't worry, I am not the person that will be a health expert and I don't plan on being that.  It's just a great journey that Sean and I have started.

 

Valentine's Day weekend

So I'm late on the Valentine's Day post but oh well!  Valentine's day weekend was great.  I got to go to Miami for the first time and walk on South Beach.. and unfortunately, I did not see any celebrity.  ha!

But I did get to see Bethel Music in Miami and I don't think I could have given myself a better reason to go to Miami other than for this.  Sean and I have been wanting to see Bethel for a while now so we took the opportunity to go.  It was great too.  We got to just soak in the Lord's presence that night along with other people in Miami.  It was great to see what Bethel wants to do with their music.  Their heart is so pure and they long to see God everywhere they go by raising up His children.  Here are some photos from the Worship Night.

On Valentine's day, we went downtown towards South beach.  So I acted like a tourist in the car taking a bunch of photos of the buildings... it's just something I do...

                                    

We also walked up and down Lincoln Road.  My favorite part of the day was hearing Sean's stories of where ministry used to be and what all they did with the Bible School.  It was great to hear it. 

We only went into this store on Lincoln Rd because of the industrial look. The store was too expensive for me.

Loved these antique sewing machines.  All the walls were covered in them.

On South Beach!

The water was so clear!  It was beautiful!

                                     

The gentleman in the background goes by Apache. He's homeless on South Beach. Holy Spirit told Sean to give our leftover pizza away after lunch. We gave it to a homeless couple who then later gave it to Apache & his friend. He summoned us over to him to make me this beautiful rose out of a palm leaf for V-day. We started talking more & he kept saying 'cool beans.' That confirmed in Sean's spirit to keep talking with him since he says that all the time. After hearing Apache's heart for the people in this world, Sean prayed for him, prophesied over him, then he gave his heart to Jesus. Apache also LOVED Sean's shirt so much that Sean gave it to him. Needless to say, today has been a great Valentine's Day
