Good evening fine people. Just when I thought I had some consistency on Always Aley, life is here, looming. Well as many of you might know from my first newsletter, I’m no longer in Oklahoma, my new job takes me to Wichita and the excitement of seeing what the year will bring is truly something […]
Mission Trip: VBS
My most favorite aspect of this mission trip was being able to interact with the children of Tizimin during Vacation Bible School. This wonderful lady, who has literally been sent by God, for these children heads up the school/church responsible for their formation. Her name is Magdalena Saldana. She has the spirit of a lion. […]
Mission Trip: the beginning of greatness
Hey everyone! Long time no talk. I truly apologize for being away for so long. However, I’m excited to share why I’ve been gone from the blogger world for more than three weeks. I was on a mission trip with Micah. We traveled to Tizimin, which is in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. To say […]
For we are dust
It’s Ash Wednesday. Lately, I’ve been having a hard time explaining who I am, as if feeling who I am is so wrong. Mostly it’s because, if I am, who I am; then it might not make others happy. Then there’s resentment. No on wants that. No one wants to cause it. So I’ve been […]
Powerful
I’ve been absent for more than a week and I’m not complaining. Believe me, what I went through wasn’t anything too alarming, on the contrary, this situation helped me build up my survival skills. It didn’t work much, but at least now I know that those skills are nonexistent. None-the-less, southwest Kansas experienced a trace […]
Health Week Day 4: Spititual Intake
Being health means a lot of different things and believe me there’s a million different aspects when it comes to being in complete health. Sure, we need to take care of our skin, hair, and body, the stuff that’s on the out and inside. Because yes, that stuff is really important. One thing I’ve also […]
Theology Thursday: I am a woman who loves the Lord
Brr, we got some snow today. The entire day was filled with the falling cold, which made school just a little be deary, but just like the students I powered through. Being back in school today was so uplifting. It’s so surprising that motivation comes from being up and about– moving. All the same God […]
Theology Thursday: Why evil exists
I’ve pondered on this thought multiple times and it’s been the topic of conversation in various bible study sessions: Why does God allow evil in this world? That’s a good question. It’s natural to think that if God is filled with good and He loves us so much then why does he allow us to […]
Always and Again: Traditional Print
Today is a special day for me spiritually, but also culturally. It’s the day we celebrate our Blessed Mother, Virgin Mary. In the Latin American culture, Mary appeared to San Juan Diego. For those of you who don’t know the story, San Juan Diego, a humble native Indian carried out what the virgin specified. And […]
Theology Thursday: Advent
Ever since I can remember, during the month of December, something wonderful would take place every single year. The church would dress in purple. My favorite color. I would marvel at the drapery, the candles, and the priest in the most wonderful shade of purple. Later, this sudden change at church would mean that Christmas […]
