I have to admit that I have a few favorite places in California. One of my favorite places  is Santa Monica Beach…. another one is Solvang … maybe next time we will take Isaiah there. This time we did not have time. Some other stuffs came up on our schedule and we had to give up some plans.

The lady who took this picture was very interesting… may God touch her heart and show her how much He loves her!

We are ready to take off in a few days!Tomorrow is the packing day! Though day for me! We are back in California. God willing we are leaving on Sunday…. with a few days of vacation in Hawai. You might think that I have been in a continu vacation … but it’s not quite true…. anyhow - I will not comment about this aspect.
I still don’t have the green card… I do not know why God is not answering my prayer to give me the green card on time .. but I trust that His plans for our lives are far better than we immagine!
Please keep this problem in your prayers! Also a “special need” that I have and I CAN NOT mention it here! Please bring it to God and He will know what you are talking about!
We had a little of fun yesterday as we went to Santa Monica Beach with Isaiah…. I will try to post some pictures when we get back home. Here it’s more complicated to save them andpost them since we use other people’s computers.
PLEASE KEEP US IN YOUR PRAYERS AS WE RETURN TO THE PLACE WHERE GOD HAS SENT US!
In His Loving Care,
Ica&CO.

It would be really hard in Arizona at a temperature of 110 -115 degrees Fahrenheit, but THANK GOD we have the pools. We do not have them but we have friends who let us come to their place and enjoy it!

Here is a little video filmed a few days ago. As you can see Isaiah enjoys the pool. Read the rest of this entry »

I am counting down the days until, GOD WILLING, we will return to Korea….! … and I can not stop but think about the luggage! You might not know what it means to travel with a child and to have to limit your luggage to 50 lbs, when half of the luggage is the suitcase itself….One thing I can assure you - it’s not EASY!

These past few days we went shopping - not that we bought much but we had to run away from the heat….! Let me tell you, there are quite a few 4th of July SALES. Even though there were a lot of stuffs that I would have liked to have I constantly wondered why buy if I have to leave them behind?! Read the rest of this entry »

A few moments ago I read some thought of a friend of mine. She is a much better writer… actually I think that anyone is a better writer than I am. But we are not in a competition here on Earth to show off with the GIFTS that God has given us.. but rather to use whatever gift we have to give Him glory. Even though I might have less gifts I rejoice in in ones I have.

Well to get back to my thought! I am so blessed by God and it would be a sin not to give HIM glory!

Talking about my friend… even though she has so much to give glory to God for - she is so distracted by the trials of the day. You might say to yourself that everyone knows his/her own burden and you are right! BUT remember the words of our Lord Jesus that called all the heavy burdened to come and put the burden on Him!…. I pray that she will find rest and peace in the loving hands of our Lord Jesus!

Why am I so blessed?! Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a while sine I posted my last thought and news from FAR AWAY. I’ve been busy as some of you might know! CHRIS came to US on the 13th. YEAHHHHHHH!!!!

Some of you might wonder if Isaiah recognized Chris when we met. The answer is HE DID and HE DID NOT. He just woke up when we met Chris and I have to admit he wasn’t too friendly but after a few minutes he was OK.

We were invited to a wedding in Toronto so right after he arrived in US we traveled to East Coast - CANADA. Even though we were quite tired, we had a good time. Chris took me around Toronto…. University of Toronto where he went to school, we met one of his professors - he is the President of Canadian Biblical Society, Dr. Glen Taylor.

I will post a few pictures from our trip to Canada… more in the future….most of them are on my brother - in - law’s computer in Los Angeles.

this picture is taken in Detroit… we visited our relatives and friends from Detroit!

Here is one of my favorite pictures… even though I must say - at the beginning I got scared of the hight of the CN Tower from Toronto, it was one of the most wonderful experiences of the trip! THANKS to Chris who insisted to give it a try…. one of the cool things about the tower is that the elevator has a glass door so you can see as you go up!

NIAGRA FALLS … How can u miss it when you go to Canada?! We did not catch the best day at Niagra Falls but we enjoyed the time he spent there. It’s quite amazing how God shows His greatness in the nature that He created for our enjoyment and HIS GLORY! Here is a picture with the Falls behind us!

That’s about if for now! I will post more news from us…. These days Chris is in a trip in Grand Canyon!

Blessings and joy!

Today was a sunny day here in San Diego. After Miha returned from work we decided to to to La Hojjah (I hope I did not misspell )….

Isaiah was not feeling very well. He has a cold… But even though he was a wonderful company. He did not complain too much and he enjoyed the ocean, the birds and the sea lions.

Here are some pictures…

here we are looking at the birds and the waves….

mommy is telling me stories about daddy’s years in San Diego. I can’t wait to return with daddy and hear all about those wonderful years.

We are visiting Chris’ cousin who lives in San Diego. Here are some pictures taken at Sea World. Isaiah had such a good time there. We were there on Sunday… we saw Shamu the whale and the dolphines and the pinguins and the sea lions… and the horses?! I was surprised to see horses at sea world?! … but we are in California where the common is uncommon!

we are looking at the pinguins… it’s dark in there… here are are again … outside….fascinated by the pinguins

Than we went to see SHAMU. He was fascinated by the whales’ show. Here is a picture with Isaiah and Mihaela. HERE IS SHAMU!!!!

To those of you that have read my post with request to pray for my sister’s surgery, I would like to thank you for your prayers!

She had the surgery yesterday and it went well. Isn’t it true that we serve a mighty God?! Praise to His Wonderful Name for He cares about His children and when they call Him He answers their prayers.

She is still in the Intensive Care Unit but she was able to walk a little yesterday after the surgery. The doctor took out the “thing” and the uterus was not affected. According to him she could have plenty of children!

I have put all the e-mails of those of you show have been sending messages in the past couple of days and I sent them to my sister. She will be so blessed to see how many people have been interceding for her! I THANK GOD FOR YOU!!!

Just to leave you with a face for the one you have been praying for - here is a picture with me and her from her wedding (last July). As you can see she loves children - she loves Isaiah so much!

Again on behalf of her and her husband THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US THROUGH THIS TIME OF TESTING! May our Lord bless you and your dear ones in all that you do!

Love in Christ,

Ica&CO.

THANK YOU!
