I am so sorry!!!

Why are those words so therapeutic? I find that no matter how hard it is to get these words out of my mouth that I am overwhelmed by peace the moment they leave my mouth. It's like God just wipes the slate clean as soon as I am ready to admit that I have sinned and that I am in rebellion against Him my creator and Lord. I am always having to use these words over and over and over again and I am continually amazed at my Saviours response.

FORGIVEN! FORGOTTEN!I LOVE YOU!

His mercies are new every morning! It is his kindness that leads me to repentance. I know what his answer will be! I hope that as I grow closer to him that I too might be more like Him, full of mercy and forgiveness. Most people know me as a very talkative person and I seem to know some one every where I go. So knowing this you must realize that I love people, I love meeting new people and I really love getting to know people who love Jesus! I am a slow learner as my poor language teachers can attest to, but I am a learner, a student and a mere child studying every one and everything around me wanting to know about things I haven't yet experienced. In this learning process I find my self messing up and falling down, I make two steps forward and then three steps back. I even feel as though I am turned around and going the wrong way at times, but I cling to the promises of Jesus that Nothing can separate us from his love, that he will never leave us nor forsake us that he loves me and gave his life so that I might live! I know I have hurt many in this learning stage of my life and that some day when we are made whole that we won't hurt any more. So until we are there seated before the throne of God worshiping his name I ask some of you for forgiveness for being insensitive or unkind or strait up mean. I am still learning to be more like Jesus.

So this blog started out as a I am sorry that I haven't written in a while and this is what came out. I like it! I will try to keep this page more up to date, our camera broke and our new one in still waiting for us to pick it up in the US. So blogging isn't as fun but I will try! Thank you for reading my adventures! It helps me feel connected to those I love and miss!

New Years 2009 is here!

Well This new years eve party tops all other in that we were amazed by the insaine amount of fire works! Not just fire crackers but big time fire works. They were incredable! The sad part was when the clock hit midnight the smoke was so thick we could hardly see the street in front of our house. Justin, Farshid, Sina, Maryam and I all went to the roof deck for a better view. It ended up being a little better but soon became a better view of the smoke. Every one had profesional fire works going off from about 10 PM until 2 AM. We had a great time with friends eating and playing cards. The kids enjoyed a movie and the babies slept soundly. It was a wonderful time of fellowship. A few of the families stayed the night and we awoke the next day and served breakfast for those who stayed over. Justin and i then headed out for a movie but found out that the Philipino film festival means that all the movies out are in Tagalog. So our new new years day tradition was a flop. Well we spent the rest of the day resting from our evening of fun.
