SPA DAY FUNDRAISER FOR ESCALERA FAMILY

THIS UPDATE WAS LONG OVERDUE!! I HAD IT TYPED BUT NEVER POSTED BECAUSE I HADN'T UPLOADED THE PICS! OOPSIE! HAHA! SORRY!

I know it's been a while since I've written and kept things updated on here but the honest truth is that I've been so busy with my jobs and the tasks that God has called me to do that I don't really have time to write sometimes. Kudos to all those who keep their blog updated on a regular basis! Bare with me, I'm still learning =)

Praise the Lord of Lords to the Highest. He is magnificent, holy and everything true. My heart sings every time I think about how He pulls through for the ministry time after time. My best friend's brother was in a tragic car accident that has left him not being able to move from his neck down. He is a quadriplegic. It's been an extremely tough, tough time for the family as they've had to move to another country, let alone have to deal with the pains and stressors that something as horrific as this can bring.

They have no insurance, so the medical bills have sky rocketed right through the roof since he's been in the hospital for three weeks - we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. This isn't including the rehabilitation he's going to need once he's out. He only has a 3-4 month window of time to get into a rehab before his muscles contract forever. Rehab is $2500 a day! This also doesn't include the equipment he's going to need at home in order to survive.

My Majesty's Ministry organized a Spa Day Fundraiser for the Escalera family. For those of you that don't know, My Majesty's Ministry is a local non-profit organization out of McAllen, TX that reaches out to people around the globe and in our community by showing the love of Jesus Christ. I had been praying that God would direct me in what type of fundraiser to organize and only a day later my cousin, Bonnie calls me to suggest a Spa Day!

Bonnie donated her services as a licensed cosmetologist, brought her tools, equipment and product. She also found a sponsor for the event. Beauticontrol set up shop and did a free skin analysis on all our supporters PLUS they provided all their products to be used at every station. Beauticontrol was used at our foot scrub station, hand scrub station, lip plumping station and facial station. My friend Andrea who works at De Sanchez offered her massage skills and left everyone floating on cloud 9 after her magical fingers were done with our backs lol My good friend Ashley not only helped me host ALL day but did all the hand scrubs. Merissa thank you for coming by to help us out. Mayela who owns REDUCE ONE DIET CENTER (go to her if you need someone to guide you into a healthy eating plan!!) donated her place of business to transform into a SPA for a day. Thank you for that Mayela. My friend Ray got us some good pricing over at Copy Plus and printed our invitations ASAP. Thank you Ray. My Daddy let us borrow all his chairs from his office to set up our little waiting area and is always my strong anchor of support in everything that I dream of doing with the ministry. Thanks Daddy!! My girlfriends (most of them from Princess Bible Study) came by and got the works done on themselves! Thank you girls!!! I love you all. 

SPA DAY was a success because of every single one of you and we were able to bless the Escalera family in more ways than one. Of course none of this would've been possible without God's grace, love and movement in every single angle of this fundraiser, so to HIM be all the praise and glory! I love you, my Miracle Worker, You!! You never let go through the calm & through storm. You never let go and are always there for me. I love you.

BONFIRE NIGHT!!!!

ok, so sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's just that things have been crazy-busy for My Majesty's Ministry - Thank God! He is doing everything He promised He would! We even have our own Radio Show!! More info and details on that later BUT FIRST - BONFIRE!!!!!!!! 

This party is going to be monumental and life changing. I feel the Spirit of God stir every single time I talk about it, it never fails. I believe that the reason is because the symbolism behind this is so strong and uncanny. there are so many dead weights that drag us down to suffocate at the bottom of the sea of life and occasionally when we try coming up and gasping for air, IT or THEY tend to pull us back down. These weights are hindering you from fulfilling your destiny, the God-given purpose that was ordained before the foundation of the earth was laid. He knit you together in your mother's womb and brought you forth on the day that you were born; you are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are not a mistake; He makes no mistakes. There is purpose for everyone walking this earth. Talents and gifts that are embedded inside your heart that no other human can accomplish. You are a unique design - God's masterpiece. Most of us never get to see what we were created for because we allow ourselves to hold on to people, things or thoughts that act as leeches in our life and suck us dry, but every day is a new day and is a chance to loose these things and let them go! 

The BONFIRE will be a point of contact in our life for that to happen. This year and every year women will come from everywhere to be a part of this great divine appointment that breaks the chains this world has put us under. We'll be getting rid of everything that hinders us from fulfilling our DESTINY in CHRIST, throw it in the fire and BURN it! 

Wouldn't you like to know what you were created for? God created your purpose before He designed you. He knew you before you were ever born. (Psalm 139:13-16) He loves you. His thoughts towards you are countless as the grains of sand on the seashore. Do you desire to know what it is that you were exclusively designed for? Well, here's your first step, my friend. Come <3

"THE DEAD FROM THE COLD NIGHTS OF WINTER WILL RISE UP AGAIN WITH THE SUN/SON"

Yes, those were His exact words as He gave me idea for party after party to have all in the name of the Risen Lord and King. As I wrote, He said "Luau" and I said "Why a Luau, Lord? What's the biblical significance in that?" and He said, "Because it's Spring. The DEAD from the cold nights of winter will RISE UP again with the sun/Son." This left me in complete and utter amazement at not only at the fact that I was receiving prophecy, but that God can turn anything He wants into something that glorifies Him. What shouldn't, WILL.. and what wasn't, IS.. if we put our COMPLETE TRUST in Him, He will continue to perform the impossible. 

Jesus said to her, “I am the RESURRECTION and the LIFE. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." John 11:25, 26 

I haven't really gotten into too much on how all these parties, Bible studies, outreach projects, etc. began, but I will soon though, I promise. To make a long story short and A LOT to swallow, let's just say that I was pregnant with a dream for 5 years of my life and gave birth to it this year. The stupid devil deceived me and took me on a detour in my life but God ALWAYS remained in control regardless of the junk I got myself into. My Knight and Shining Armor came to my rescue (as always <3 ) and swept me away back right where I belonged - in His arms. Now we're back on track completing the good work He began in me (Phil. 1:6) and it's loads of fun and the adventure of a lifetime. Him never letting go of me - even if I had - reminds me of the scripture that says, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38, 39 And if that's not good news, then I don't know what is! Yayyy!

 Now this little baby (My Majesty's Ministry) is in it's infancy stage, but it's growing more and more every day and the lessons that He teaches me through this season are fun, rewarding and priceless. Life is not perfect by any means, but boy, does it feel good having Him ride out the storms in life right next to me, every step of the way. AAhhh! I love Him o-so-so-sooooo much! My desire and what I teach at these Princess Bible Studies every Monday (1006 Sage Lane, Edinburg, TX 6:30 - 8:30) is how to tap into a relationship with Him unlike anything you've ever experienced and how to undergo the transformation to unlock our destiny.

It seems like so much got in the way of this Luau, but regardless of everything that went on, God's will always prevails. I prayed asking Him if I should just cancel it because my Grandpa was (and still is) in the hospital and my family was such an integral part of helping me bring it all together, but I kept getting a solid "No", so needless to say I didn't touch it. lol I had planned to do so much, including decorating, days before the event actually came to pass, but my grandfather's grave condition threw us all for a loop. Oh, but is He good. He not only calms the storm and gives our hearts PEACE that surpasses all understanding, but He comes through in EXCESS, time and time and time again.

I'm pleased to announce that My Majesty's Ministry's First Annual Luau was a complete success and many women got to not only hear God's divine word spoken to them that day, but experience fun - true fun - in the name of Jesus Christ. This is only the beginning Princesses! He has SO much more up His sleeve that He's going to pour out and I want every single woman on Earth to be a part of it.

What would this blog be without the proof of our fun, right? haha Well, have no fear, the pictures are here! Enjoy!

My cute lil sister, Sasha, getting ready to hit the pinata.

After I spun Darlene around 3 times, I think she got a little too dizzy and aimed for breaking lanterns instead of the pinata lol

Finally some candy comes outta this hula girl!

Monica hitting the pinata! We all agreed that the pinata looked like Darlene lol

I hadn't hit a pinata since I was maybe 10 years old. Can you tell I was thrilled? lol

My brother made his way into our pinata breaking session and decapitated our poor hula girl. I think some candies might've even flown to the next yard lol Good job, brother bear!

A special thanks to Mr. Gomez at PINATERIA UNIVERSAL for donating this beautiful hula girl pinata to My Majesty's Ministry. They custom-made her just for us. He has every pinata that you can possibly think of and their prices are extremely reasonable. Will definitely be going back for all of our pinata needs! =) Thank you Mr. Gomez!!! She was so pretty we didn't want to hit her LOL  

PINATERIA UNIVERSAL is located at 2 North Cage Blvd, Pharr, TX 78577; located inside Boler Farms on 83 right by the railroad tracks.

Another huge thank you to BUFFALO WILD WINGS (3520 E. Exp. 83, McAllen, TX) for donating over 4 dozens of wings and a vegetable tray with all the dipping sauces. Thank you, Mgr. Israel Martinez for all your help and getting those wings out hot and ready to go w/in minutes! They were super yummy! 

A special THANK YOU to Jason's Deli (4100 N. Col. Rowe Blvd., McAllen, TX) for donating a platter of various croissant sandwiches. They were a complete hit, super fresh and delicious. Thank you, Mr. Huerta!!

Thank you to my wonderful family that supports everything that My Majesty's Ministry does and for being the type of family that pulls CLOSER together when things get tough. This should have been impossible to do but because God has placed each and every single one of you in my life, it wasn't. Thank you to the best step-dad in the world who stayed with my grandpa and cared for him in order to allow us to continue with the festivities. Thank you to my mama-bear who submits to God Almighty every single day of her life and allows him to use her in any way possible. Your beautiful hands hung so many decorations and made so much of the food, my heart doesn't know how to express my gratitude. My step-mom for coming out to support and experience this first ground-breaking event and helping my brother Jeff lug his DJ gear around to this party and all future ones lol My earthly father whose mind and heart is a box full of treasure that spills onto me, giving me ideas, knowledge and wisdom to attain. My heart sings over each and every one of my brothers and sisters, Charlie, Karla, my DJ Jeff ;) and Sasha. I love you more than my life itself and thank you for supporting me in all of my endeavors. 

And Thank YOU my Precious Lord for all you've done, are doing and will continue to do; none of this would have been possible without You. You make my life shine. Use me in these last days to infect this world with your love, joy, peace and deliverance. i am your humble servant. I love you.
