Glory be to God for dappled things-
For skies of couple-color as a brinded crow
For rose-mole all in stripple upon trout that swim
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced-fold, fallow and plow;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He father-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise him.

He is Always There.

When God made man, he gave him arms, legs, and eyes. God gave man food to eat and water to drink. God gave man free choice and will. God sent down his only son, Jesus, to die for man's sin. God gave man blessing and everything man ever needed. And when man deserted God, God was still there. When man cursed God's name, God was still there. When man gave praise to false god and idols, God was still there. When man murdered, God was still there. When man sinned, God did was still there. When man lied, cheated, and stole, God did not leave man. No matter what man had done, God never left his side. God is always there. No matter what you have done, God will always be there. He is always walking by your side. He carries you through seas of sadness and deserts of despair. He is your shelter from storms of sorrow and an anchor from troubled winds. He is there. He is love. He is God.

for the record, if you guys have been guessing the pics and also guessing who 10xdeep was, its emily. so for the past months ive been lookin at lot of old pictures, videos, musicals, concerts, etc. back in the past that we did with the church. its a good way to just get your mind off everything thats actually happening now. also a good reminder of how old we're getting. good memories. it also reminds me of how growing up in the church really means a lot to me. Weird to say, being a part of this "burmese community" church stuff has been a REAL rollercoaster. I've learned a lot of different things, not exactly all good but i can probably say it has benifitted me for the "real" world soon. I know i dont show much of a great example of a "christian" but i am somehow, someway trying to become a better one, underground that is. haha i also encourage everyone to just never lose your faith in God, because he will always be with you. if you start to fade away from him, dont just let it fade away,pull through. if youre struggling, just pray. i know a lot of friends that grew up learning about God and was always a believer, but as they grew older, things werent that great with God. Suddenly he wasn't a priority anymore because they felt that he wasnt doing much in their lives. if you do feel that way, just pray. never forget that. if you dont go to church, at least pray. its the least you could do to still have him in your life. Because when you have no one there to be with you, as corny as this sounds...HE will be the only one really there for you, good or bad.

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. -1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

on another note: if i knew how to upload and had the patience to wait for it to upload, i'd put a bunch of videos that ive found at home. its really a good laugh. i think we should have one night where we can just get together and look at old videos and musicals, plays that we did. pretty hilarious. so if you have anyy old pictures or whatever, just post em up or let someone know.I found this video on YOUTUBE.com. and it reminded me of the childrens concert we had back in 2000 at the san francisco church. maybe we can do something like this again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6aowlEwppE HAHAHAHA
