i know i'm not the one
to tell me what to do
so my mission is to find the one
whose heart and mind and mission are so similar
that they can interpret the unspoken ideas
dreams visions and passions
and tell me how
why when and where
to express all that is in my soul
i've come close enough times to know he/she/it
is out there
waiting for the vehicle in which to pour
so that everything can be driven farther than imagined
i am full

thanksgiving
rin came out of surgery remarkably well! the doctors are really pleased with how everything turned out. they were concerned that they would have to add in a shunt which would have had to be switched out as she grew, but they didn't have to. so praise god! and thanks for praying!
pray for micah!
pray for micah!

rin rin
this sweet girl is 11 months old and has tetralogy of fallot.
according to wiki, this is a congenital heart defect which is classically understood to involve four anatomical abnormalities (although only three of them are always present). It is the most common cyanotic heart defect, representing 55-70%, and the most common cause of blue baby syndrome.
Rin is having surgery on wednesday morning (in japan so that would tuesday night for us) to correct the problem. please pray that everything goes smoothly and that she can be back home as soon as possible.
here are a few more pictures just because she's so cute. :)

a bit of an update
is it terrible that i finally have time but have no motivation to clean anything?
my only desire at the moment is to lounge around and eat chocolate-filled koala bears while surveying the mess in my room from the bed that is my throne.
the past month has been hectic
i finished up nutcracker at the end of december and flew back to japan for two very short weeks
in which i managed to catch an unfortunate cold and lose my voice
but all in all it was a much needed reminder that life is bigger than the rut i so often get stuck in here
my family is amazing. nothing and no one really compare with their heart and their capacity to accomplish.
the day after i arrived back from japan we started rehearsals for coppelia. it's a nice little comical ballet that audiences will enjoy. and we're in a really lovely theatre here in town. it is the "second largest motion picture theatre in the country" according to the website. i've been told it's worth buying a ticket just to get inside to see it. exciting. :)
rehearsals have been going since the 15th. that puts us in our eighth straight day after two weeks off. painful, exhausting and a bit mind numbing at first. but i have two consecutive three day weekends coming up. praise god for little blessings.
speaking of blessings, my church just finished their annual missions conference. we talk about it all year as "the most exciting time of year" and it really is. the church's "missions ambassadors" come in from all over the world and we spend the week meeting together, praying for the nations, hearing different people speak, raising money and pampering the missionaries as much as we can. i couldn't be involved as much i would have liked, but the bit i did get to partake in was amazing. i came away refreshed and feeling like the lord was reinforcing all that he had spoken to me during the first few days of the year.
2010 is going to be a good one
last, but not least, the most exciting news of late
i no longer work at starbucks!!!!!!!!!!!
