We celebrated our Children Camp success with 13 ministry leaders & volunteers yesterday. 3 mothers, 3 kids, a couple, 2 single adults and 2 students. With a simple dinner, ice-cream at Gelare and the Disney/Pixar movie 'Cars', it was a fantastic way to celebrate a milestone in the ministry. Our celebration ended at 12 midnight and to some of us its been quite a while since we are able to do that. It was truly a great & 'youthful' time.



Yesterday was also our 8th Wedding Anniversary!! Hey, look, we made it pass our 7th year (and we don't recall itching). The journey may be challenging but the peace of God powerfully graced us through. The movie "Cars" sum up our marriage. It was fast but now moving to our twilight period where its slowed down to a more reflective or perceptive way. We no longer have anything to prove to each other and to others, we already know and assume others too. It's now no longer pride/achievement oriented but friendship and partnership focussed. Kids have been the most obvious blessing with God the pivotal difference. We are glad to know that its been 8 years.

This is Mag's favourite song and its slowly and surely replacing "Nothing Ever Happens by Del Amitri" to becoming mine too. hahaha

"Through The Years" by Kenny Rogers
(steve dorff/m. panzer)
I cant remember when you werent there
When I didnt care for anyone but you
I swear weve been through everything there is
Cant imagine anything weve missed
Cant imagine anything the two of us cant do

Through the year, youve never let me down
You turned my life around, the sweetest days Ive found
Ive found with you ... through the years
Ive never been afraid, Ive loved the life weve made
And Im so glad Ive stayed, right here with you
Through the years

I cant remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear youve taught me everything I know
Cant imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years, through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had, Ive always been so glad
To be with you ... through the years
Its better everyday, youve kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, Ill stay with you
Through the years

Through the years, when everything went wrong
Together we were strong, I know that I belonged
Right here with you ... through the years
I never had a doubt, wed always work things out
Ive learned what loves about, by loving you
Through the years

Through the years, youve never let me down
Youve turned my life around, the sweetest days Ive found
Ive found with you ... through the years
Its better everyday, youve kissed my tears away
As long as its okay, Ill stay with you
Through the years!
