happy birthday daddy

떨면서 커피를 마시던 그남자,
그녀의 눈을 쳐다보지 못했다.
그녀는 시간이 빨리 갓으면 했다,
마음이 없었다.

하지만 그의 눈을 마주칠때,
그녀는 놀랬다,
부산남자, 촌스러운 위모, 탄얼굴...
그녀의 이상형의 반대
하지만...
그남자의 눈은 진실과 진지함이 담겨 잇엇다...

25년후... 
그는 평화로운 강처럼, 안전하다, 
가족을 위한 땀과 노력,
진실이 담겨진 남자,
사랑이 넘치는 남자,
하나님을 향하는 남자,
아빠 사랑해요. 
생일 축하해요 <3

bits and pieces

Bits and pieces of my life so far...

El Jarocho. Looked better than it tasted. Mail me some El Taurino please!! 

For Hallelujah Night, I went as a baker/cafe owner (living out one of my dreams for a night). But people kept assuming I was a housewife... -____-

and my dear friend Quiz, who came as a bear, was recognized as a mouse. Sooooo, we ended up being scared housewife and mouse. 

We don't have this in California... absolutely beautiful!

This chilly weather calls for some warm soup!

You are enough for me

 Christ is enough for me, everything I need is in You..

On repeat today. 

A daily reminder. 

9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Peace I leave with you...

Be Still My Soul 

1. Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.

1. Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
   Leave to thy God to order and provide;
   In every change, He faithful will remain.
   Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heav’nly Friend
   Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2. Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
   To guide the future, as He has the past.
   Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
   All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
   Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
   His voice Who ruled them while He dwelt below.
3. Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart,
   And all is darkened in the vale of tears,
   Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
   Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
   Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay
   From His own fullness all He takes away.
4. Be still, my soul: the hour is hast’ning on
   When we shall be forever with the Lord.
   When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
   Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
   Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
   All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
5. Be still, my soul: begin the song of praise
   On earth, believing, to Thy Lord on high;
   Acknowledge Him in all thy words and ways,
   So shall He view thee with a well-pleased eye.
   Be still, my soul: the Sun of life divine
   Through passing clouds shall but more brightly shine.
6. Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27 

Peace... what is peace? Peace of mind? Absence of chaos? Peace is the gift for those who trust in God, for those who trust in Jesus. He has given us his peace by way of the cross.
