I used to pray for Elliott like this: \”God, please protect Elliott. Keep him happy, healthy, and strong. Keep him safe and I pray that he will one day meet a beautiful, godly lady and that you\’ll bless him with a family and that they will serve you and live to be 100 years old.\”Continue reading “Don\’t Pray for Health or Wealth”

Thankful Thursday: The Grandparents
So, I only have 8 more working days until I officially become a stay-at-home mom and I couldn\’t be more excited! But I can\’t help but look back over the last year and think of how blessed we have been that Elliott has such great grandparents! Cindy (Richard\’s mom) has watched Elliott nearly every weekdayContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: The Grandparents”
Journal Entry: Brazil
January 4, 2011Amazonas, Brazil Just one more week in Brazil and I have mixed emotions. I\’m not really read to leave the country because I want to be here doing ministry, getting started at least. But at the same time, it will be nice to see family again and be home. I\’m struggling with aContinue reading “Journal Entry: Brazil”
Thankful Thursday: God doesn\’t live in a box
Some reasons we may wish that God did live in a box: Just looking at Him makes your face all shiny. I don\’t think any amount of Biore strips can help that. [Exodus 34:30] He can make the earth eat you. Which I imagine isn\’t a pleasant experience. [Exodus 26:10] He can turn people toContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: God doesn\’t live in a box”

As a matter of fact, it\’s the exact opposite: I DO want to be associated with Christ. Unfortunately, ChristiansContinue reading “Stupid Elbow”

Thankful Thursday: Seventeen
Today I am thankful for the number 17 because that\’s how many working days I have left before I get to be HOME with my little man! That means more of this: ….and this…. …and this… …and this… …and I get to squish these little cheeks a little more! So thankful for the privilege ofContinue reading “Thankful Thursday: Seventeen”
Envy
I was browsing through some blogs today that left me with this strange feeling [accompanied by tears in my eyes on more than one occasion]. I couldn\’t tell what the feeling was at first but then it hit me. It was envy! But that didn\’t make sense at all because what I was reading wasContinue reading “Envy”
Q & A’s for Mission-Minded Families: MOTHERHOOD
This is a post I found on a blog I read: Passionate Homemaking I normally don\’t post things like this because I realize it\’s not relevant to all of our readers, but as a mom this was encouraging to me. So, if you\’re a mom, it may be encouraging to you. Seems logical, right? Here\’sContinue reading “Q & A’s for Mission-Minded Families: MOTHERHOOD”
