The Farmer Dude.

Just an update on what I have been doing as a farmer… there is many things you can feed the farm animal… cow’s and sheep’s they like to eat anything that is green and for that my uncles have like 4 acres that they seed with hay but it does not last all year round so when he is waiting for it to grow back up again he feeds them hay bales but he doesn’t have any more of them  right now is getting very hard and expensive to buy them so now the alternative is egg plants YES EGG PLANTS… Sinaloa is one of the riches states in agriculture in Mexico so the state depends on it… egg plants grow very well here and I just happened to be in that state of Sinaloa… the other day we went to get a trailer full of egg plants for the cows and sheep’s they just love to eat it and it only cost   $100 pesos ($10 dollars) we just have to go and get it from a storage that is fun for me because I have two choices to drive my uncle truck or to drive the tractor with the trailer… personally I like the tractor because is something I don’t do very much and is fun… I’m including some pictures… I have to go for right now to feed the farm animals some egg plants hahaha. See you guys soon… miss you all.

Love and prayers Will the Farmer dude hahaha. God bless.

11 Years Wedding Anniversary

In Emily’s and I wedding anniversary I want to let everyone know how God has encouraged me to keep on fighting for our love. As I was reading the bible last night I came across a verse that reassures my faith and my love for her. I’m bless to have her as my wife. May today be filled with happy memories of the past and bright hopes for the future.

 HAPPY 11 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. I LOVE YOU.

Hebrews 12: vr6-13   6. For the lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes each one he accepts as his child. 7. As you endure this divine discipline, remember that God is treating you as his own children. Who ever heard of a child who is never discipline by its father? 8. If God doesn’t discipline you as he does all of his children, it means that you are illegitimate and are not really his children at all. 9. Since we respected our earthly father who disciplined us, shouldn’t we submit even more to the discipline of the Father of our spirits, and live forever? 10. For our earthly father disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. 11. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening-it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. 12. So take a new grip with your tired hands and strengthen your weak knees. 13. Mark out a straight path for your feet so that those who are weak and lame will not fall but become strong. 

 

Basic Life Lessons.

Hi everyone! It has been some time from the last time I posted, I have been living a farmer’s life I never thought in a million year I was going to live this type of life, and it’s good at times. Is something new but it gets hard sometimes to be away from all of you guys, I’m love here but there is nothing like being at your own home, is difficult to be away from my wife and the kids. The closes thing to me right now is Facebook. To see how everyone is doing on Facebook makes it that much easer as time goes on  and I’m thankful for it, as I was reading some of the post last night I came across one that explains how I’m doing right now on this journey. Someone posted a song, Praise You in This Storm by Casting Crown.  I’m simply amazed by these lyrics, (see below). I have posted on this blog before and I will post again, let your spouse, kids, mom, dad, friends anyone that means something in your life know how much you appreciate them.

Thank you everyone for all your help that Emily and the kids have received, I’m amaze by all the love that God has bless me with, and God bless you all. Be home soon. LOVE WILL.

PRAYER: Lord, I can’t always see where I’m going. Please help me to keep faith as I step into the unknown. Bring me safely home at journey’s end.

  Praise You In This Storm lyrics

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away, stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say, Amen and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, “I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls I raise my hands
And praise the God who gives and takes away

And I’ll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are no matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried You hold in Your hand
You never left my side and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry, You raised me up again
But my strength is almost gone
How can I carry on if I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain, “I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls I raise my hands
And praise the God who gives and takes away

And I’ll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are no matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried You hold in Your hand
You never left my side and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

And I’ll praise You in this storm and I will lift my hands
For You are who You are no matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried You hold in Your hand
You never left my side and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

 

The call to the US Consulate.

Hi everyone!

Well guys I wish I had the news that every one wants to hear. Last time I call the US CONSULATE I was told that I have to wait anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks, well today starts the 7^th week and today’s call was different; I was told that I have to keep on waiting until the 8^th week and then I could call them back if I have not gotten anything yet, I pray that I don’t have to. I just want to know… the anticipation is just too long… I’m done! How much longer those my family and I have to wait???

I have been thinking about this last call and I have to look at it positively. On the first call they told me that the consulate have not made a decision yet, this last call I was told that I have to wait until the 8^th week so I have to think that they have made a decision, I just have not got them yet. But I just don’t know. GOD know how this is going to end we just have to trust him.

I LOVE YOU GUYS… I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO BEE HOME

 

I miss you all.

After very long wait for the 6^th week and with hops for good news, nothing jet. We will see what happens next week I will be calling the US CONSULATE on Monday to see what they have to say. Thank you for all your prayers. Special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa they have been helping with the kids when EM is at work thank you… love you mom and (dud, hahaha).

How is everyone doing? I haven’t blog in a long time I’m sorry guys but is been difficult to find things to wright about that aren’t boring to all of you. I have been good, well not so good on Sunday morning because on Saturday I eat something that got me very sick. It all started Sunday around 0600 in the morning with vomiting from the top and bottom it was bad, it was like that for the rest of day so much that I had to go to the doctor and he told me that it had to do with what I ate and do to my vomiting I got dehydrated so I got hooked up to an IV. That night I call EM and she wasn’t happy to see me like that but I was in good hand they took good care of me and the showed so much love and concern. I’m doing so much better now… I just have to watch that I don’t eat so much pig’s meat and sea food in one day.

P.S. I just want to be back for the super bowl so we can eat some pigs meat and sea food who is with me??? GO PACK GO ….I love you all.

 

A Fresh Burst Of Energy

It’s amazing what we can accomplish when we set our mind to it. But we have to resist the urge to quit when we get tired or frustrated along the way.

Think about your experience in the outdoor. We’ve all been tempted to turn back at the first cramp in our side or pain in the shin. But seeing the trail marker near the end of the journey brings cheer to our hearts. Glimpsing the peak gives us a spurt of energy that propels us to the top.

Our spiritual life is a long journey, filled with difficulties and reverses. But when we sense that we’ve reached a milestone of some sort, it’s like God is encouraging us: You can make this happen! This is doable!

Nehemiah 4:6 at last the wall was completed to half its height around the entire city, for the people had worked with enthusiasm.

PRAYER: Lord, encourage me to continue and keep working in my life!

Holidays away from the family was difficult, but all the love and support that I received from God throw all of you guys made holidays very special to me thank you guys. Thank you lord for your son Jesus Christ, Emily thank you for your love and support on Christmas day, even dough we are far away from one and another I can still fill you LOVE you are an awesome wife, mother, daughter, friend, and hard worker, I LOVE YOU EM and I can’t wait to get back to continue on loving you and grow old together yours truly THE DUDE.

Although we are in a difficult situation and we have been in some difficult one in the pass, we both know that this one surpasses the others and I know the Lord has more in front of us and we will conquer them one at a time every time with the help of our lord Jesus Christ.

I just needed to get that of my chest; I hope that everyone had a good and memorable holiday, min was memorable one, and I got to eat a good verity of food. I wish I could tell let you guys know the name of all the food, but I don’t even know how to even begin to translate them for you but trust me when I say they are gooooooooood, I have some recipes for when I get back, I will do my best to replicate them. We will have a party at my house.

Till next time everyone, have a great day and I will see you guy before you know it.

LOVE WILL.     GO PACKERS GO

No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus is calling us.  PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14

THE ART OF WRITING IS THE ART OF DISCOVERING WHAT YOU BELIEVE.

 

Real Security

In 1503, Leonardo da Vinci began painting a portrait of the twenty-four- year- old Lisa Gherardini. The great artist loved the painting more than anything else he had done, and carried it with him for much of the remainder of his life. Every now and then, Leonardo touched up different parts of the portrait, which many say he never considered finished. He obviously took great joy in the Mona Lisa.

That’s exactly how God sees us. We are His masterpiece, and He loves us more than anything He has ever created. He cares deeply about us, watching over us all the time.

In God’s eyes, we are all unfinished works, and He’s constantly improving us here and there, touching up one part of our life or another. He takes great joy in us and He’s even promised that He is preparing a special place for us, where He can be near us for eternity.

PRAYER: Lord, I am hardly worthy of your attention but I thank you for taking such an interest in me.

1 JOHN 4:10 This is real love not that we love God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

Thank you very much for all your support and help that I been getting and my wife and kids from all different direction many people have been praying for my family and me, I’m proud of been a christen, thank you HORIZON CHURCH for you prayers and help, it is because of you I’m who I’m now, I can’t wait to get back to see everyone and express the way I feel, it’s hard to do it by email I hope you guys understand the way I feel. There is one thing I can say on this blog that you guys will understand   I LOVE YOU ALL GUYS THANK YOU.

I have been anticipating this day for one month now; I’m ready for what god has for me in Juarez. Time has gone by fast and now all is left from knowing the truth is 2 days one is in a bus and the other one is in a hotel in Juarez. Pray for my safety in the bus as well in the hotel prey for my held.

I’m living at 1500 from Guasave on the same bus line that I left from Juarez they are somewhat comfortable but I have a bible, car magazines, and my daughters book (GINGER PYE) to keep me occupied she let me have it so I could be reminded of her LOVE YOU HAILEY, LOVE YOU C J, LOVE YOU Z AND I LOVE YOU EMILY GOD BLESS YOU GALVEZ FAMILY AND I’LL SEE YOU GAY SOON.

I have one more thing to say, special thanks to LISA for all of you support and help, and all the good times we both shear on Skype love you Lisa and how can I forget Ross you to shear some memorable times on Skype Thank you (DUD) LOL.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;

I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked God for health. That I might do greater things;

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked for riches, that I might be happy;

I was given poverty, that I might be wise.

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men;

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God.

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy in life;

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things.

I got nothing that I asked for but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am among men, most richly blessed. *

Do we trust God to lead us even though we can’t see the pathway in front of us? Do we trust Him to be all-knowing, all-loving, and all-powerful? Do we believe He does all things well? As Paul wrote, “everything that does not come from faith is sin” (Rom. 14:23) That’s why God leads us through the dark places.

Only in darkness do we learn to walk by faith.

He who knows not. And knows not that he knows not. is a fool: shun him

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is a child; teach him

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep; wake him.

He who knows, and knows that he know, is wise; follow him

~An ancient Persian Proverb ~

 

When Winter Ends

In ancient times, just like today, winter was a hard time, a season to be endured. Of course, winter in Israel was not usually accompanied by the sub-zero temperatures and heavy snows common to much of North America.

Still, spring, when it came, was a time of rejoicing. The cold winter rains had passed and signs of life were appearing. Flowers began to bud. Birds began mating. The low, contented cooing of doves could be heard. It was happy time, “the season of singing “.

Like it or not, all of us go through winter seasons, times of prolonged sorrow or moments when we’re nearly overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness and despair. But God’s promise remains true:  “Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

Winter will always give way to spring. Just don’t give up hope!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to trust that hard times will pass-and that joy will be mine once again.

Hello family and friends hope that all of you had a happy thanksgiving dinner; I hope you guys save some for me for when I get back not so much turkey but pumpkin pie. HA-HA.  I want it to catch up with all of you. Many things had happened here, but before I go any farther I will like to apologies for this gap between my blogs, and Second thank you for all of your comments and prayers.

For the past few weeks I have been little busy between the farm, seeding garbanzo beans and safflower and harvesting corn, I almost forgot who I was but I’m back now, things have slow down, now I get to let you guys know and see what I have been doing. The nice thing about being this busy is that time has pass by fast… can you guys believe that in 2.5 weeks I’ll be going back to Juarez to go and see the US consulate?…  I’m posting some pictures of what I have been doing. The one in the yellow tractor is me; my job is to go before the red tractor and get the dirt free of any weeds, so my uncle who drives red tractor can lay the seed in the freshly and free of weeds dirt, is very important for the dirt to be free of all weeds so the garbanzo beans can grow strong and healthy, between my two uncles they have over 50 acres so you can imagine how long that will take. I enjoy doing this as long as I’m behind a staring wheel I’m a happy dude.       LOVE WILL      GO PACKERS GO

 

Created For A Purpose.

Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? I hope well, my day started as usual. I normally wake up around 0520 to go on a walk with my aunts, but for the pass 4 days I have been somewhat down due to the fact that I haven’t been able to Skype with my family because my wife’s PC it been having some problems with her PC microphone and her PC itself too, so the only way for me to communicate with them is by cell phone and that would be ok only if I could get good signal here at nanas, so the only way I can get a good signal is to go 30 minutes in to the city, that doesn’t happen very often. Despise all of this miner details I have God with me and He has giving me the strength and will to fight for what I love, what I mean with that is that on my walks in the morning I normally don’t take my phone with me, this morning I want it to try something different, as I was walking with my aunts I was checking on my phone to see where I could get a signal. Come to find out that there is a good spot where I can get a good and strong signal. So I gave it a test. The time was 0600 I didn’t know who to call at that time and the light bulb went on; my wife gets out of work at 0600 from work so now if I time it just right when I go for walk in the mornings I could talk to her when she gets off from work.  SHE WORKS TONAIGHT YESSSSS, I can’t wait for tomorrow morning I miss you Em. What a blessing thank you God for your help.

If there’s a lesson to learn from this it would be. First trust and love God with all of your heart and sold and he will bless you in many ways. Second no matter if you are one step away from the one you love or thousands of mails away let her know how important she is in your life, hug her, kiss her, talk to her, listen to her, watch TV together, go on dates with her, hold her hand, buy her flowers, whisper on her ear how beautiful she looks because you never know what God wants you to do tomorrow, or in a week, or in a month or even in a year. Third love your kids let them know how important they are in your life, spend time with them, read to them, encourage them in there sports, be there when you say you are going to be there, your kids need you and they you need them. LOVE THEM

There is a verse that when I’m down I like to read, I will love to shear that with you.  ISAIAH 40:28-31 have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the creator of all the earth; he never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depth of his understanding.       29. He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30. Even youth will become weak and fired. And young men will fall in exhaustion. 31. But those who trust in the lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Love and prayers from EL DUDE.     LOVE WILL
