"It's the Climb"


I can't remember the last time I've fought this hard to
stay strong.
So, if I keep holding on,
the rewards will surely be incredible.

Someone once told me teaching English was easy.
And my response to them is:
"You may have the personality for it,
but I certainly do not."
So right now, it's all about the climb.

  2. I wish I had a voice as gorgeous as yours. I really do like that song, I just don't like that Miley sings it. This is most definitely my favorite version. :)

  4. I agree with Liz. I am so jealous! You ARE amazing! Love you!

    I find that with each new adventure life seems to get harder and harder, but the reward gets sweeter and sweeter. When life seems like it is a breeze it is because the Lord is giving me a "breather" just before my new adventure starts. In many ways my adventure in Japan is one of the easiest things I have done, but in many more ways it is the hardest thing I have done. For me life is not life with out a little stress, but I really don't like all the stress.

  5. P.S. I think you are made for teaching English, but I also think that you haven't found your niche. Perhaps elementary is better suited for you. I think you would do amazing with elementary kids.

    Who knows, maybe you are doing a fantastic job and don't see it.

    I have faith in you! :D because you ARE amazing!

    Always remember: Your success is inevitable!

  6. I'm finding teaching isn't so much about personality as it's about love and experience. Oh yes, and let us never forget preparedness- mine own personal demon.

    You can do it! Just remember that life is an adventure of learning- nobody is perfect except Jesus Christ, but we can all be perfect through him.

    PS> I miss hearing your voice singing. At least I have these lovely videos when I get too lonely!

  7. Oh my gosh! You sing so beautifully... no wonder my voice always got shy around you. You are AMAZING! I was totally impressed. I can just imagine Bryn crying right now.... I hope he'll stop soon and get back to work. I hope someday we can collaberate again.although you sound pretty gosh dang good doing a duet by yourself.
