"My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever."
Psalm 73:26
"I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes — I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!"
Job 19:25-27
it wasn't so much a happy Easter for us this year as g had to be rushed to urgent care for some pesky allergic reactions (food + spring?) that developed into a severe bacterial infection. but we are joyful and rejoicing. sharing in His sufferings somehow, assured by His Resurrection, trusting that He that conquered Death has conquered all.
praying for continued healing... it's been a hermitic week -- ready to feel the sun on our faces once more.
ps: just had to add this in: surprise dark chocolate blueberries can really bring a smile when your face and body are covered with boils, rashes, hives, and pus. :\
last weekend, we did the tour dallas w/ f&f. it was a leisurely ride on a PERFECT spring day! much nicer than last year. and then... came summer on sunday. hehe. :P it hit near 90's.
also helped out @ a hold 'em fundraising tourney for OOIAL... was interesting to see a few world champion poker players @ the table. we're def not gamblers or players so got to just hang out and chat.
this weekend we'll be heading to root for an underdog team from cornerstone crossroads academy (in partnership w/ our church), a school for at-risk students in south dallas, at a robotics competition. y's been working with them to write the software to control their robots. it's such a different world seeing kids from unheard-of circumstances, who love saturday school, who can live on so little, who choose to overcome. and this, in our "backyard". go CCA!
there's also a joint young adult get-together going on among the asian circles... not really in those connections anymore but may drop by for friends we don't see so often now. CCR RE-re-loaded? haha.
