PEACE, LOVE & JOY
Those three words really never formed their truth until my late college years when I discovered God’s omnipresence and Christ’s never ending love. Today, I am so thankful to the Lord for his assistance in my faith’s development and relationship with Him. No, I am no saint. I am a sinner like each and everyone of us. However, the realization of God’s ever giving love and truth shines so bright as I work 10-13 hour days without breaks. He prepared me for this! Lord knows I couldn’t do it without Him!
REFLECTING SINCE THE LAST POST
Today I am writing as a married man! On December 20, 2012, Jessica and I were wed by Father Norbert and Deacon Higgins at St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Spring, Texas! It was a beautiful, small ceremony in which we were all graced by the Lord’s presence. And how blessed we were to have Tim Nelson’s presence at our wedding!
Jessica’s step-father, Tim, the man who had been in her life since she was three-years-old, was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer last April 2011. The awful news sparked a flame under us both to gear up and get married a year later. While Tim went through chemotherapy and became a expiremental drug candidate, his health worsened towards the year’s end. Without a doubt, I knew we had to move our wedding up. As such, the Church worked with us and we were able to have Tim walk his daughter down the aisle along with Jessica’s blood-father, Massey. What an amazing…AMAZING…sight seeing Tim and Massey – smiles stretched from ear to ear – walk my beautiful bride down to me. Thank the Lord that Tim was able to do so! He passed seven days later. We all mourned his death, but know he is in a better place – with our Lord in Heaven. His wonderful life will never be forgotten. From the memories we shared to the everlasting effects he has had on us, thank the Lord for Tim Nelson! Without him, Jessica and I would have never dated…much less talked (absent a fifth graders’ help to a new-kid fourth grader ;0)! Thank you Father God!
My life has much changed since I last posted. Since then I received word that I passed the Texas Bar Exam and Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam – becoming a licensed attorney on December 8, 2011! Thank God! Couldn’t have done it without Him!
Que mas!? Oh yes, I became an Associate Attorney at the largest Hispanic-owned law firm in the City of Houston. I began clerking there in January of 2010 in the Immigration Section. Since then, I’ve been moved to handle both Immigration and Labor & Employment matters. Thanks Jacob! Its been a great experience so far and I look forward to gaining so, so much more experience with the great attorneys and staff there! Jacob, the managing partner, wants me to become specialized, via the Texas Legal Board of Specialization, in both Immigration Law and Labor & Employment Law. Thank you father God for this wonderful opportunity!
AND NOW FOR THE FUTURE
Jessica and I look forward to a healthy and full life together! We look forward to little rugrat children, but for now our little pups will do just fine 
I hope to post more often; however, I am working more hours than I sleep, eat and play combined! Not a problem in my book, but I do look forward to posting more often!
