Can I be totally honest? [Are missionaries allowed to do that?] This journey we\’re on–the beautiful, exciting one–it\’s terrifying sometimes. Like that feeling in your heart when you get an unexpected phone call at 3am kind of terrifying. You don\’t know what\’s about to happen.

How Dare I?
Worry. It\’s my thorn in the flesh. I consumes me more often than I like to admit. I\’m supposed to be brave and bold. But I\’m fearful and hesitant. I must be adventurous to be on this journey, right? But I\’m not. Usually I fight this battle with Scripture like Philippians 4.8:Finally brothers, whatever isContinue reading “How Dare I?”
Do you still want it?
“If you could have all of Heaven that the Bible explains and the only difference is that Jesus isn’t there, would you still want it?” Ever since I heard that question posed by a popular Theologian/Pastor/Teacher it has really made me think – but not about that specific question. Let’s start with the question posedContinue reading “Do you still want it?”
Created to Praise
We sat on the back-flap of the boat and it was Christmas Eve. Elliott was sleeping and it was an unusually cool mid-morning. The missionary kids were busy doing their schoolwork, leaving just me and Richard to gaze in wonder. Pink dolphins at play. We had seen the pink dolphins before, but mostly fleeting glances. This timeContinue reading “Created to Praise”
Am I Peter?
Am I Peter? I see the Lord at work where we are going; much like Peter saw Jesus walking on water. It looks impossible. It looks scary. It looks exciting.

Actually praying…
God has been working in my heart lately about praying all throughout the day for people as they come to mind, not just at night before I go to bed. I think that\’s what Paul meant when he said, \”Pray without ceasing.\” (1 Thessalonians 5.17) Why is it so hard sometimes to constantly be inContinue reading “Actually praying…”

Not Yet
A sweet friend of mine and I were sitting by the sandbox watching our boys throw sand at one another this morning, talking about life and kids and so on. She asked me, \”So, how are you feeling about everything–your international move and all that is going on?\” With a sigh I replied, \”I\’m soContinue reading “Not Yet”
God, I Need You
God, I need you today. I need you because I can\’t be the mom or wife I need to be. I need you because I worry about what people are thinking and saying. I need you because I seem to always forget that I should ask you for help before trying to take it on myself.Continue reading “God, I Need You”
Some Questions
When strangers find out you are going to live in the middle of nowhere, you start to get a lot of questions (often accompanied by strange looks). There are the typical ones like, \”Where will you live?\” and , \”How long will you be there?\” and of course, \”Aren\’t you afraid??\” But today I got aContinue reading “Some Questions”
