chasing dreams

new beginnings

i was intending to sleep early, but i was too hungry. now i’m too full to sleep! 

day 2 of junior’s camp and i’m sure they all had fun. rach was so good at planning the whole game! feel just as happy to help in the execution (:

feels so weird blogging again. suddenly i feel as if i have nothing much to talk about. but… i should put my camera to good use and i could use the free time now.

ohhh right. dear brother’s dog hasn’t made her debut appearance here.

won’t you just look at this baby! makes me go awwww every time i see her (:

she’s growing older by the days! still as adorable though! i placed her ears nicely so i could get a good picture of her when she was so tired. otherwise, she’d be busy trying to get our attention. 

love this darling to bits even though it isn’t my dog… hahah some day, i’ll be able to have my own too! 

now now, don’t be disheartened

“When God doesn’t give you a miracle, maybe you’re the miracle God has for someone else.”

remember His goodness

Ashley’s remarkable parents, Dr. and Mrs. Evan Zeiger, died in a plane crash one year ago today, she wrote a message so beautiful it was circulated around the world.

“I’ve never been so weak or experienced so much pain in my life,” wrote Ashley, then a junior at Vanderbilt University. “So it must be a loving Savior surrounding me and hugging me tightly. I know God is present in the little promises He shows me every day, such as the verse that He gave my brother Evan: ‘If I go up to the heavens, You are there; if I go down to the grave, You are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there Your hand will guide me, and Your strength with support me’” 

“My sweet mom and dad were flying with Jesus and His hand was with them as they went to meet Him in the depths of the sea. And He’s holding them now, and He’s holding us now. How great is our God.

“I miss them with all my heart,” Ashley concluded, “I keep hoping each morning that my dad is going to come kiss me on the forehead before he goes to work and that my mom will sit with me in her bathrobe over a cup of tea at the kitchen table. Then I’m reminded we will have all of eternity to do that. This is only temporary.”

just when i think i’m drifting away, He knows which strings in my heart to pull to bring me back to Him. 

If I ride the wings of the morning,

if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

even there your hand will guide me,

and your strength will support me
