Day 30

A picture of someone you miss... Grandpa Gibert Haselhorst.

He passed away Spring 2007, during my freshman in college from esophageal cancer. Gibert was full of humor, stories, and would always have great things to say. He had been a wonderful grandpa to all of us grandchildren. I remember I would ride with him to our family farm to help out or play around on the atv or whatever there is to play on. Also one thing that i wouldn't forget is that he is always the leader whenever we move the cattle to different fields. They would listen to him, if he stop the stop, and if he moves froward they would move froward, thought that was neat part about my grandpa having power control over his cattle. In addition, on important thing I thank him for fighting for us back in WW2, what a brave man he was! Another wonderful thing he have done for me is help me get through school with some fund support and inner spiritual that I am doing it for him, which i am doing my best like I told him i would right before he passed away. I pray that he is going on the right path with Jesus, so I can see him when I die! God's good by providing him while I grew up! That's why I miss him!<><

Day 29

A picture that can always make you smile.... Lil Tals!

Those boys always make me smile whenever I see or babysit them. Whenever I see them they remind me what Joy is from God. Why? They guided me to God and taught me the truth of bible by how well behaved they are! Other than that they had help me get my eyes open and figure out what I want to do for my future career, which want to work with children like them. Since they are so much fun to be with. I am blessed to know those 2 boys, they are like my little brother to me and make me feel like family! Thank Lord for Daniel and Caleb for lighting up my life whenever am stressed or anything they would lift me up when I see them, thank for that! If not for God wouldn't know those incredible kids. <><

Day 28

A picture of something you're afraid of

Being locked in a small space (no wonder i am becoming cluastrophobia!) This is just lasting scar for me being locked into a bathroom at a camp one hot summer when I was about 10 years old. I had no way to get out, no window, and had to bang on the thick wood door to get help to get out. The door lock was broken or something then half hour later or less camp maintain came to broke the door apart to get me out! From now on I never lock bathroom doors (only public I would- but houses I refuse too scared would get locked in again!) That's my story!

Other thing that I am afraid of snakes! I refuse put up pic of it or ill have night mares! If I see one I'll scream and run for my life even if it's garden snake. I do not know why I'm afraid of them, just AM!! :-D

Day 27

A picture of yourself and a family member... Jenny and Nicole

These lovely gals are my first cousins on my dad's side who am close with. Both are wonderful at communicating with me, they both are skilled at sign language which helped me to socialize among my cousins or family at family gathering without depending on my mom or sister to interpret for me. (I do have other cuzin that can communicate with me, love them for that!!) Nicole, Jenny and I had great life growing up together by going on vacations together with our Uncle Steve and Aunt Janelle to Disney World when we 11 years old, Copper Mt, Colorado every year as possible to family condo to ski/board, and to the river camping or boating. Whenever I am in Omaha, would always be hang out with them and catch up or on vacation together. Even can find us playing on the Wii together at our Aunt's heetee! <3 you both as always!!!

Day 26

A picture of something that means a lot to you... True Friendships!

Lot things meant lot to me, the first thing pop up in my head are my true friends around here in Rochester since am so far away from my lovely family back home in Nebraska. Am just blessed and amazed how God has provided me with precious true friends who would be there for me and he will continue providing me wonderful friends wherever I go in the future. <><

Day 25

A picture of your day.... This picture tells it all!!

That explains my day, you would find me either working, sleeping, doing homework, or chilling.

Day 24

A picture of something you wish you could change....Stop Children Domestic Violence and World Hate into Peace

Children Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault is the worse thing I could image experiencing if I was a child. When parents are upset or frustrated they blame their children and it become violence, it hurts them because they are innocent and had no idea what going on! Think twice parents, children aren't right person to blame for your mistake or stress release. Please do not leave any lasting scars by all types of child abuse and neglect.

Important notices:

• A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds.
  
• Almost five children die every day as a result of child abuse. More than three out of four are under the age of 4.
• About 30% of abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children, continuing the horrible cycle of abuse.

Parents, don't come down too hard on your children or you'll crush their spirits. (Col 3:21)

"Discipline your children, and they will give you happiness and peace of mind, or he will give you rest; he will give delight to your heart." (Proverbs 29:17)

..........
World Hate into Peace is God's purpose on this earth, unfortunately we had destroyed it. People are fighting against each other and dying for insane reasons. God's purpose is to have everyone to unity with each other with out hating each other, have peace with each other and honor only him. That's my dream to have everyone unity even though myself as deaf person i feel unity with my Deaf world we are same as one we are Deaf, we support each other. That should apply to others because we all are humans we should support each other no matter what ethics they, we are just humans- period!

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. (John 14:27)

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. (Romans 12:18)

Day 23

A picture of your favorite book...The Bible.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1

I cannot live without this book, am grateful to fell into this book on November 14, 2008! Whenever I travel, always carry this book with. This book has many reasons to be attached to... It is essential to our understanding of not only God, but ourselves as well. Without God’s Word we will be purposeless and disrupted from our call and the purpose for our salvation. Whether you have personal questions about love, suffering, guilt, loneliness, success, God, the future or the meaning of life, the Bible has answers.

¹⁶ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 118:105

That's why I have chosen to believe the Bible. As a believer in Christ, I know it will be worth it all. Read it for yourself, you will be amazed!

(Picture above: Left is my bible that I use right now and on right is a GREAT bible when you are a new believer, a easier way to visual what is going on throughout the bible.)

Day 22

A picture of something you wish you were better at... speaking with my voice.

This is the most common wish among us Deaf people who want to speak better than we could. As for me, I grew up on speech therapy that really helped me be able to speak just a little bit in a very small conversations. Such as, thank you, hi, how are you, and much more. However, yes I wish I could be good enough to speak on the phone and be able to make things easier while in a conversation. For instance, when I am flying I need to ask the front desk a quick question I would like to speak instead of write it down when I am rushing to next gate or in any outside condition such as in stores, among hearing friends, and family. God has reason for me to be Deaf, absolutely and I do love my life as what it is right now, I rare complain about my Deafness just small things but this one is the main wish that I were better at right now! <><

Day 21

A picture of something you wish you could forget... who has broken or hurt me deep in my heart.

This is something that is hard for me to forget even I asked the Lord for forgiven for whatever I have done wrong in those relationships. These moment were painful that I honestly won't forget because those people who had hurt me, meant lot to me. Felt like was stabbed with knife or shot right into my touchy heart! Even it take me forever to clean up the mess in my heart. However, I know God's with me in my heart to protect from it to happen again. <><
