I just want to flex this beautiful crochet bag! 🧶👜🌟

I think it deserves an entire post of its own — not just because it’s beautiful, but because of the thought, time, and love behind creating it. 💚💛🩵

Can you imagine how many hours @josivera spent carefully working on this? Every stitch was made by hand, and knowing that makes this gift even more special to me. It’s more than just a bag – it’s a little piece of her time, talent, and love that I get to carry with me. ❤️🥺

Ate Josi, thank you for this incredibly special gift. I absolutely love it, and I will treasure it – not only because it’s beautiful, but because of the love and thought you poured into making it for all of us.

Now THIS is something worth flexing!😜

Sometimes the biggest blessing is simply making the time to be together.⏰🩷

For 12 busy ladies with different schedules, responsibilities, and personalities — to step away from everyday life, and share this time together was truly a little miracle. 🛳️✨

It gave us the opportunity to discover each other, know each other a little better, appreciate our differences, and grow even closer.

And with TWO birthdays to celebrate, there was even more reason to laugh, celebrate, and make memories! 🎂🥳🥂

So grateful for friendship, for the gift of time together, and for the beautiful memories we created at Sea. 💜💛💚🩵💙🩷❤️

This birthday hit different. Life threw a plot twist the day before… but God had already scheduled joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love right after. 🥹💛 But who has time to sulk when you’re surrounded by anointed party planners and sisters in Christ?

Surprised on my birthday. Pool party the next day. A precious call with my cousins. A generous gift from my sisters in Christ (y’all really made me cry - the good mascara-smudging kind of way😭). I’ve never felt more seen, more loved, more held.❤️

To every friend and family member who took time to greet, call, show up, give, and just be there—thank you. Your love reminded me that even when life surprises us, God is still ahead of it all. 💛

Whatever the future holds, I know I’m not walking it alone. I’ve got a God who goes before me—and a community that keeps me anchored… and laughing. Hard. 😂🙌🏽🩷🧡❤️

These right here are my beloved Womanity Camp sisters —-

My heart swells💓with appreciation & gratitude for each one of them (including those who aren’t in the video).

I am profoundly grateful to my church @metrolifechurch and our Pastors @steve_alessi & @maryalessi . Their unwavering dedication & obedience to their calling has brought Camp 8 together and woven us in a bond so beautiful.

Wishing you all a happy Valentine’s day! ❤️❤️❤️

There are some people you meet in this life whose souls will intertwine with yours; friends who become family. These are a few of those whom the Lord has blessed me to do life with.

Each of these ladies have poured themselves into me and sees love in me. They want nothing else but to give, asking nothing in return.

I am truly blessed. And I pray that I have been a blessing to them as much as they have blessed me deeply, abundantly.

Love you ladies. You truly are THE BEST friends a girl could ever ask for.

P.S. Props to @laurakescobar for great editing skills

Happy birthday to the one and only coffee bar queen— our Wanda-rful @wanda_yvette88 !!!

We celebrated her and made wonderful moments and happy smiles woven in between spoonfuls of good mofongo and other Puerto Rican food.

If you know Wanda, you won’t be able to help but love her!

Wanda, everything that you do always come from the heart. May the Lord honor all your wishes and grant your deepest desires.

And may the Lord’s choicest blessings chase you wherever you go. ❤️

Food, friendship and the Divine.

It’s been a little over a year that
we went to Womanity Camp together. We started as strangers and left as sisters. The bond established in 3 days. Only God.🙏🏼

Here’s to all the meals we will enjoy together and the stories and prayers that come along with it. May they nourish us more than our five senses will recognize.

And here’s to enjoying real friendships, a divine design. May we all remember that with the Lord, we have each other to point us in the right direction when lost and confused, or thankfully collapse into each other’s embrace when times are tough.

And may life be all the more beautiful in doing so. ❤️

A little surprise baby shower for @richellealessi & Pastor @chrisalessi! Their family is about to even get cuter! So many exciting changes ahead - most will be sweet, but some will be stinky and require eight baby wipes and a whole new outfit. 😜😅

All this to say - the MLC Coffee Bar Team is looking forward to meet this itty-bitty-you guy! Blessings!!!
