Welcome! Bienvenida!

First off, if you are reading this, THANK YOU! I have wanted to share a part of me for so long.

While there is so much more to come, I am grateful for the start.

So to the point right? Well I plan to share all things that make me Beverly. My faith, food, culture, interests and what I am doing currently in this thing called life.

Son Grandes is the soul of what I aim for everyday. Some days I succeed and some days I fail.

Oh right. The backstory.

Well, Son Grandes was born out of a need for shoes during my first year in Nicaragua. My 27th birthday was coming up and I did not want to celebrate it shoeless.  I searched from store to store with no luck. I wandered with aim and intention, eventually stopping at a store with an owner that was estatic to pull out all her size 11 shoes.

I proceeded to try on shoe after shoe. I got down to one that I was sure would be the winner. I walked over to the mirror to flaunt, only to see the heel of my shoe poking out like my discouraged hopes. Without warning, the shop owner says " SON GRANDES" (translated literally as they are so big). My friends and I burst out laughing. However, I was reminded quickly that I still have no shoes.

Her words kept replaying in my head long after. I realized that she was right. My feet are HUGE LOL!

However, so are my dreams, hopes, goals, personality, blessings and my GOD. I am great just because he is GREATER. So while I walked away with no shoes that day, I did gain perspective.

GREATER is the one that is living inside of me.

So there you have it folks. Welcome to SON GRANDES!!!

Perspective

This time of uncertainty that we are in has some of us deep in the dumps. I am one of them. I had to analyze the areas of my life in which I was not happy and apply what the word says! I encourage you in this season to write down the different areas in your life in which you think differently from the Lord. I am sharing my own personal areas as well as some of the things the Lord says about  them. I pray this will encourage you to uncover your own truths.  Marriage   Terrible Perspective ——-> When will it happen? Do I really want to wait? Perhaps if it doesn’t I will find other means to get what I’ve always wanted  God’s Perspective ———->   ‭‭Romans‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬ .....

Weekly Routine + Tips

So everyone's week looks pretty different. Establishing a weekly routine was something that was vital for me , especially being in a new country. There are a couple of things that I have found work well for me and keep me sane during this new normal. Here is a break down of my week+helpful tips to get you through yours. Note..Now that we are in quarantine, try not to let this change much. If you are still working from home, get up, get dressed and treat your day like normal. Sub the gym for an at home workout, and you are good to go!  Monday-----> Grocery shopping day!  I am usually super drained from the weekend's church activities and so the only thing I have energy for is getting food for the week.

Tuesday---> By Tuesday, I have regained some energy so I am re...
