there are times when i just want to sit down and stare at blank space. because there are just times when none of my immediate concerns can be addressed. most of the time i end up thinking that maybe it doesn’t need to be addressed. you know, the “cross the brige when you get there” mentality.

in the past few years, for some reason, i’ve never worried about these things … or should i say, there wasn’t even one bridge in the horizon. everything seems just to happen in its own accord. well, they’re here and i just don’t know what will happen.

faith is funny. it plays with your mind, or could it be that i’m the one playing with my mind.

when you are being behest with a myriad of uncertainties and you don’t know where to turn to. when the best advice people can give you is to “believe that everything will be alright” and the only help that you get is somebody’s prayers, what do you do?

what if this happens for a period of time? this is the stuff that makes people go whacko.

at the end of it all … it makes me realize my place in this world … i am but a pilgrim and i only have one thing … just one thing and that one thing was best written by a certain Fanny J. Crosby in 1873.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long;
this is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

—
I love you Father …
I may feel alone and feel left out,
unsure of things to come,
unwilling to understand why i still have to go through this,
afraid of tomorrow,
worried of things to come,
but i will remain …
because you remain

forgive my unfaithful heart
forgive my unbelief
forgive my pride
be the air i breath
the song i sing

be my comfort
my desire
my life
my love
my all

New Year 2018

What tremendous blessings and milestones in the Ababa family! We praise God for His grace in provision and favor. May our family continue to be a vessel for His glory.

We bought a new house! We praise God for giving us hope and peace as we had to simultaneously sell our previous home. It was a nail biting experience, but God’s provision and timing were perfect. Perze’s enjoying the gadgets and toys that come with owning a single family home like going green with solar panels + rechargeable electric equipment.

Elle is in her 1st year of school! She knows all her classmates’ names, is now reading, + 2 out of 5 days falls asleep on the bus ride home. She has recently been chosen to participate for a peer modeling group. One of her favorite hobbies is reading, + one of her favorite series is the "Little People, Big Dreams".

Emma is taking her 1st year of French, joined the chess club, is taking performance art, and is part of her school choir, 7/8th grade orchestra, + chamber ensemble. She is incredibly outgoing when it comes to auditioning, joining different musical ensembles, and has such a strong interest in performing. She helps her dad sing during his praise sets.

Changing schools for Zienne has been an positive experience, as she has found her social niche + is one of the top readers and math students of her class. Zi's hobbies include anything creative, making crafts, arts.
