A true woman of God..she has taught me so much. I feel unworthy when she asks me to teach her something. I have to give thanks first to God then to Monsi Quinones for introducing us some 10 years ago. I happened to be looking for a babysitter for my daughter. She lived a few minutes from where I worked. So, it all worked out. She not only took such great care of my baby but gave me coffee in the morning before work, entertained me for lunch when I stopped by to give my baby girl Hugs & Kisses and on occasion fed me dinner too! She had me won over just with the coffee :) ok it wasn't the coffee ;) it was the care that she took with my baby.
It didn't end there, She made me feel part of her family, she taught me all about FAITH, Invited me to her Church, and I have been there ever since. The storms have come but I have been firm with her by my side the whole time. Even when She had to move away and come back and move away again, her Love for Me and My Family has not withered. I am eternally grateful to God for allowing me to be a part of her life.
So it was with great joy that I helped her start her very first blog. In the process I took her profile portrait. As a photographer I felt it was the most important thing to do. In the end.... I don't know? Who is more proud of who?
So it with great Pride that I introduce to you Rev. Maria A. Castaneda!
