Things I love part I: Church Family!

I was thinking about all the things I wanted to blog about and there was one common theme...they are all things I really really love. Therefore, I'm starting a 3 part series on that.

One of the more obvious things, because I write about them all the time is my church family at LBC. Truly, I love them, and thank the Lord for bringing me to a church like Lighthouse.
Being consistently challenged by the teaching at Lighthouse has helped me to move forward and pursue God’s glory as the consistent goal of my life. I love how the church members remind each other that “life is not about you” and that we have to come to God on His terms. I now count it a blessing to have accountability, because it keeps me from hiding in my sinful desires. When I think back to how I was for so many years, I’m so thankful for the genuine example of the people here to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith and run hard.

Thank you Lord for these men of God! Our pastors rock!

I love love love the Lim Family. :)

I have taken a photo like the one on the right at almost every instance that we have been at worthington hall but i wanted to share this because I love the Yi Family. Esther and John are such a blessing.

jYeh...one of the very talented photogs at LBC -he's awesome.

THANK YOU LORD.

Disneyland.... and Back Again

So there have been several posts alluding to my favorite time of year - Disneyland with Baywood! Honestly, its a day I look forward to for many many months. Partially because its one of my favorite places and mostly because they are some of my favorite people. :) Granted these photos are more than two months old at this point but it was the first time I had ever taken my dSLR with me and I thought it was still worth sharing.

We were so excited...even taking pictures at the gas station while we waited for Naomi and Alice. And because Peter is now Joyce's fiancee (and because he missed out last year) he came too! Yay!

Our PASSES! Thanks Mom & Pops!

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters is definitely a crowd favorite.

Messing around after going through the single rider line at Toy Story Mania (our most time efficient tactic to get on as many rides as possible is to just go single rider on whatever rides have it. Surprisingly, sometimes sitting next to a stranger does not decrease the amount of fun!)

Haha... this is classic.

I made Peter and Joyce practice for their engagement session when I found some awesome diffused light in the Feature Animation Building at California Adventures.

The Beast's Library

Naomi's tribute to our Argentinian buddy Noelia.

And FINALLY...

FANTASMIC.

Which is by far my favoritist thing at Disneyland. So there's a legend going around that I'M CRAZY because we drove to Disneyland in the morning and then Alice and I had to return to SD for Christmas concert rehearsal at 6 p.m. As soon as practice was over at 9:30 we drove BACK to Anaheim for a few more hours at the Magic Kingdom. I drove feverishly to try with all my might to make it back for the 10:30 showing of Fantasmic. We made it in time for the last 1:30 minutes. And that is when I took all these photos.
