  • Inadequate
    ...just something that's been on my mind lately, but not necessarily in a bad way. i guess i've been feeling somewhat inadequate lately, not really certain how God is using me, or if i am even being effective at what i do.  and sometimes wondering if what i do sometimes will really make a difference?  uncertainty, not being sure of myself, self-confidence issues, doubts...all issues that God has been taking me through lately and has taught me so much about!  i've come to realize that i probably will never feel fully adequate with myself...well at least not until i get to heaven, but that it's all the more reason why i need to place my adequacy, doubts, fears...in the hands of God.  He is the only one that can use my inadequacy for His glory, for situations where i need to be fully dependent upon Him and not on my own.  and He has been so gracious in affirming some of the questions that i have had on my mind, surrounding me with encouragement, giving me glimpses of why He's place me here, and being patient with me learning to trust Him daily...God is good!

    here's a funny pic from the NL camping trip..does it look familiar?



    how about now?



    jian found a cool rock and it reminded him of the lion king, so we decided to reenact the scene, but we got some of the charactes mixed up..hehe!

  • Big Climb 2006

    congrats girls on an awesome accomplishment!  yay!  i never thought i would get this far, especially after gazing up at the building as i was driving to the columbia tower...but here it
     is...so pretty...:


    it's so funny because when you get to the 70th floor, you start hearing "...we are the champions..."  haha...kinda cheesy, but it totally makes you want to climb faster so you can get to the top...and the view was amazing!


    ...but not as nice as the company!



    yay...it was a awesome experience, even though i struggled to get there, but i'm glad that there were so many people dedicated for a good cause.  and can you imagine...firefighters did the big climb a week earlier, but with all of their gear!  now that's dedication!

    and no meeting is ever complete without some grub...here's all of the climbers after our yummy meal on the ave...

    Good job everyone!!!!  any takers for next year?!

  • YIKES!
    so i've offically signed up for this, and am very, very nervous about it, but also very excited!!!

    it's climing 69 flights of stairs while raising money for the leukemia & lyphoma society.  great cause, and i'm so excited because i'll be doing this with some truly awesome people! my small group from back in the college days (anna, june and marcia), and friends for life, and eternity!

    is anyone else interested in signing up?  i'm sure some of you get that workout just from climing the montlake stairs everyday...hee hee.  i remember those days..and in fact, without a gym membership, it's not a bad idea for a training ground.  well, if you are interested in registering for the event, or sponsoring me, you can go here, the more the merrier...and i might need some help being pushed up those stairs!
