I know – it has been a long time since my last post, but there was just no time for my blog. Time just flies. My sweetheart and I just returned from our vacation in San Carlos and it was everything we hoped for. Just sitting on the beach (getting burned – ha), kicking back and relax. We had a great time again and the beer tasted so good after a day on the beach. The sunsets were incredible – just check out the picture. Ah, just too bad that a week goes by quick. I will have a hard time going back to work on Monday. I guess, we just have to find a way to retire early – ha, that is a great joke (well maybe I should start playing the lottery – probably get hit by lightning first before I win that).
Proverbs 31 – Superwoman
Well, if you are afraid of the Proverbs 31 woman, read this book by Nancy Kennedy. This book is just awesome and helped me to see myself in a different light. Yes, God is asking us to be the perfect woman (wife/mother/daughter) in Proverbs 31, but Nancy puts a different light on this Bible passage. We can never be perfect in God’s eyes, only if we put on Christ, we are perfect. What a comfort to know that we don’t have to be the Proverbs 31 woman, but still can be perfect in our every day life. Ah – what a relief. Thank you Lord for being the perfect sacrifice for all the women who love You.
Tribute to my Dad
Well, today would have been by Dad’s (Peter Brueck) 67th birthday. Unfortunately he only lived to be 52. He was a great and godly man. Although he stumbled sometimes, he had a great foundation – the Word of God. My sister Dagmar and I were blessed to be raised by such a man. He taught us family values and morals, all based on God’s Word. This past Friday I had to think about him a lot and actually broke down (after 14 years); I never realized how much I miss him. Fortunately I am married to a wonderful, caring husband who told me to “just cry – it will make you feel better”. Yes, it did – and I know that I will see my Dad someday again. Thanks Dad for all you have done for me and my family – Happy Birthday – bis bald im Himmel.
Vacation Time
My Sweetheart and I are looking forward to our vacation again this year. San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico – what a place. If you are okay with a clean simple hotel-room; need some time with your sweetheart without TV/Phones; want to be very close to the beach; Paradiso Resort is the place for you. The hotel/restaurant is directly on the beach, and the food is awesome and inexpensive. We stumbled upon this place, off the beaten track, two years ago and what a find it was for us. Most of the time we were on the beach alone, because we went during the week. This time we will stay over the weekend – for a entire week – yeah!!!!!
Time on this earth is so precious – make sure that when you wake up – smell the roses, and truly seek what is important in this life. I know for sure that the time I spend with my sweetheart is precious – because we sure don’t have enough of it, between work, home improvements and tending to the needs of our son. So, book a room and leave all your daily duties behind.
