let’s start with the begining

and than the beginning of honey life !

here is one place that we really enjoyed going to – Solvang. It’s about 2 hours away from our first home. It’s a Danish city/village that makes you slow down from the crazy Californian life …It’s a great place to relax… where you can walk take bike rides and eat home made chocolate like the one mami(my mom) used to make back in Romania. We bought from there our first quilt.

I was looking through the pictures of our first Christmas and I found the one from our home. It was a strange feeling bitter-sweet of LONG TIME AGO! Though I don’t miss it … that place will always be special ( even though I forgot the house number – I had Cris remind it to me) because it was OUR first home. Here is a picture…

I almost forgot about Utah. Two days before New before New Year we went with our youth to Brian Head, Utah. It was quite an experience. I learned to sky. I wasn’t the easiest experience but it was great and I thank my beloved for the patience he showed me and for his encouragements. We had so much fun and by the end of the day I was able with quite a few falls to go down the intermediate slope.

Even before we got married we knew that God was calling us to go and serve Him.

We knew about the possibility to go to South Korea but we didn’t know for sue or the timing. Well, God had His perfect timing and on February the 3rd 2006 Chris left to Seoul, S. Korea. I had to stay for a while behind to wait for my green card. It wasn’t easy but the Lord was with us and His grace was just enough for each day!

Than here I am with my beloved in our new country just on time for the cherry blossoms pictures. As you can see from the picture we are very happy to be together again…. I wonder who’s more beautiful: the cherries or the couple?! :)

Here is a picture with some of Chris’ students from Torch Trinity Graduate School of Theology. As you can see we all have different skin colors and different backgrounds but we all have one desire – to give glory to our Lord.

And here we are First Year Anniversary. It’s been such a wonderful year, filled with God’s blessings, with lots of love, quite a few challenges ( being away from Chris for about 2 months, buying a house and in less than 6 months back on the market to sell it, moving to a new place, meeting new people). But in all God showed His FAITHFULNESS.

This is my anthem, this is my song, the
theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long.
God has been faithful, he will be again.
His loving compassion, it knows no end.

Next week we will “celebrate” our anniversary. On the 21 of May we will celebrate our 3rd wedding’s anniversary.

In the following days I will change the image header with pictures taken these years.

As I look back I see God’s hand taking care of us. I see His faithful hand that each morning renewed His love, grace and mercy for our family. He’s been with us, he has protected us… delivered us, blessed us.

I remember when Chris was in Israel and the war started … I could hear the bombs falling…as I was talking with him on the phone. It was God’s protecting hand upon him that brought him back safe. THANK YOU LORD!

If there is just one sentence that I were to post that would be:

He’s always been faithful to us.

I will post the lyrics of one of my favorite song. ( a friend of mine sang it at our wedding) … I also found it on youtube. Read the rest of this entry »
