About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.

Seahawks are NFC Champions Again - Miracle
Nail biting game. Nerves were shot. Seahawks played poorly and were being slaughtered by Green Bay with Russell Wilson getting sacked 5 times, and throwing 4 interceptions. Green Bay was the better team. They played well. The Seahawks were down 16-0 at halftime. Then 19-7 in the fourth with 5 minutes remaining. Then the miracles started to happen. The Seahawks refused to quit and got two touchdowns with 3 minutes remaining. The game goes into overtime. Seattle won the coin toss. And Seattle won in overtime. Final score 28-22. One of the most amazing comebacks in NFL history. Definitely one of the most memorable moments in Seattle sports history. A true miracle (and so worthy of praising God for, which Russell Wilson & other players did publicly). As coach Pete Carroll said, "This has got to be one for the ages." Seahawks are off to the Superbowl...again.

Never Will I Leave You
The other night, I saw Madison draw on an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. She drew 3 pictures of a time when she was afraid. One picture was a square completely filled in with pencil. That picture represented being in the dark alone. The other picture was a bridge over water...afraid that it would break. The third picture was of a plane...afraid that it would crash.
Under each of those pictures she wrote 3 questions with its answer.
1. Was God with me? YES
2. Did I remember that God was with me? YES
3. What could I have done to not be so afraid? PRAY.
And then she wrote this verse under each picture.
Hebrews 13:5b
Because God has said,
"Never will I leave you:
Never will I forsake you."
Later that night at bedtime prayers, she prayed,
"Dear Jesus,
I pray that Duh Duh knows that You will never leave him and never will You forsake him, Hebrews 13:5b. And that he doesn't get married!"
And after she prayed for God to fix pollution and protect polar bears and help the poor people, I asked her why she would pray that Duh Duh would not get married. Her answer was, "Because i don't want him to."
"But Madison, that is not very nice."
"Well, I guess I could pray that I hope he gets married but..."
