Hari ini jadi hari bersejarah... soalnya gw pertama kali bawa mobil di tengah derasnya salju dan tumpukan salju yg udah nempel di jalan setinggi 4 inches. Gilaaa... it's the most stressful driving experience I've had so far. Lebih bikin jantungan lagi, hari ini ada 3 penumpang tambahan di mobil (1 regular, 2 bukan regular customer) ^-^ Semuanya ngga terlalu jauh dari apt gw sih, tapi tetep aza under this kind of weather. Oh, 1 more thing.. setelah nyampe di gereja gw baru sadar ternyata gw ngga bawa dompet!!! (tapi tetep persembahan lho soalnya udah siapin cek yg diselipin di Alkitab) hehehe... Karena ngga bawa dompet, itu artinya gw drive illegally jg soalnya SIM ada di dompet..
Gw cuma bisa doa.. Tuhan, don't let anything bad happen to the 4 of us. Serem jg sih soalnya no matter what ini pertama kali bawa mobil di salju (yg udah kira2 12cm), bawa 3 orang penumpang, ngga bawa SIM lagi! God is good... tadi cuma slide sekaliiii doang.. hehehe :P serem banget.. out of control.. break pun ngga ada guna.. untung masih ada sisa beberapa inches sebelon nabrak trotoar. Pheww.. gw sampe deg2an!!
Anyway, I'm just so thankful that everybody's home safely..
What an experience. Di luar beberapa tetangga yg udah mulai maen snowball nih.. finally it looks like winter outside ;-)

Even When It's Free...
All time is valuable.
- To understand the value of 1 year:
ask a student who has failed a final exam - To understand the value of 1 month:
ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby - To understand the value of 1 week:
ask the editor of a weekly newspaper - To understand the value of 1 day:
ask a daily wage laborer who has 10 kids to feed - To understand the value of 1 hour:
ask the lovers who are waiting to meet - To understand the value of 1 minute:
ask the person who has missed the train, bus, or plane - To understand the value of 1 second:
ask the person who has survived an accident - To understand the value of 1 millisecond:
ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics
Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.
You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special

Russian Tea Cake
Tahun baru ini mau bagi2 resep ahh... :-)
Namanya sih Russian Tea Cake, tapi sebenernya tuh kue kering yg mirip kue kacang atau kue bangkit yg sering kita makan waktu Imlek. I had it on Thanksgiving dinner in my pastor's house brought by a church member and i felt in love with it right now.
Here's the tag line: these powdered sugared pecan (or walnut) filled cookies melt in your mouth!
Bahan:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups finely chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup good quality butter (kualitas makin bagus, kue makin wangi)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar
Cara buat:
Heat oven to 325F. Combine all ingredients except powdered sugar in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scrapping bowl occasionaly, until well mixed (sebenernya pake tangan aza lebih gampang!) ehhehe..
Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1-inch balls (kira2 ajeee!). Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 18-25mins or until very lightly browned. Cool 5 mins; roll in powdered sugar while still warm and again when cool.
YUMMY!!! Yvonne tamu gw aza tergila-gila sama kue ini dan bikin 2 resep bawa pulang Ohio buat makan sendiri.. hahaha.. try it out if u like baking or if u like to treat yourself to good snack.

Psalming 2007
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue YOU know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in-- behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain
Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in the depths, You are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
Even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
For You created my inmost being;
You knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
Your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them, they would outnumbers the grains of sand.
When I awake, I am still with you.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
