Merry Christmas!

-
so, I had written a post for christmastime, but I'm deciding against posting it, as it's a bit more just for me and I may share it in the next couple days ... but we'll see ... it's about my dad. (Self explanitory).

For now, I just wanted to send out a Very Merry Christmas into our internet-blog-land from us. The year has been pretty loaded with good things and some tough stuff. We bought our first home (yay!) and said goodbye to our humble beach pad. Had our music recognized by the Hollywood Music in Media Awards and our album added to Pandora (the largest music website here in the US).  We had a wonderful trip to Maui and I had my sister (fathers' side) down to see California. 

On the downside of the year, we (I) had a car crash in the subaru, which resulted (thankfully) into two cars, for nearly the same out of pocket.  And we said goodbye, just recently, to our Grandma Huzil, who went to be with the Lord on Dec. 14th.

I guess I should also mention we survived another false "end of the world" thanks to the Myans ... 

Who knows what 2013 will have in store. Jay and I will be sitting down soon to pen some goals for the new year and all I can say, is that I feel like, for me, this next year is going to be a big one.  Personally.  I feel like I'm a bit on the verge of something creatively that's going to come to completion this coming year, and I can't wait. I'll share more later.

Till Next Blog, have an AMAZING and wonderful Christmas time -- and be thankful for Salvation, for it was born on Christmas Day -- and lives evermore.

love, a.

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
