A couple of months ago, as Nehemiah lay on the couch, terribly sick, I laid my hand on his forehead and began to pray with passion. He’d heard me praying off and on over the hours since he had first got sick, however, this time when I finished he weakly questioned, “Why God not do…

Can We Do This Together?

Miss Ruby-girl has been making sure Mommy really is home…. Each night she has been getting up at 3:15am ‘ish’  to double check.   Endearingly she strokes my hair, then gently rubs my arm… Sigh. All is well in Ruby’s heart,  Mommy really is home. I remind her that it was just a visit and…

Always incredibly difficult for any of us to leave that  favorite missionary of ours. The other side of the world is just so very stinkin’ far away. But then I come through the security doors and see this face…. and her sheer glee interspersed with shrieks of utter delight just melts my heart away…. {and…

In the wee hours this morning I was up reading my Bible and spending time with the Lord.   I call it my “whispering” time.   Because during that time, I almost always hear His whispers. Anyway, this morning a verse popped out at me.  So much so that I had to write about it….

I’ll never forget where I was standing the first time  I heard her pray that prayer.  Tucking her into bed,  in her darkened room, that she shared with her sisters,  my little six and a half year old girl quietly spoke, “Dear Lord, Please let me be a missionary to the  orphans of Uganda when…

This is where I am. Right now. God has been really stirring how to have exacting faith. I’ve always considered myself as a faith-filled woman… But I know myself…and every once in a while  overwhelming fear is  so close I can almost taste it. And I am just really grasping the extent of just what …

How often do we stop to be thankful for a crayon? For little ones who have nothing, there is an inexplicable joy that overtakes  when given a simple crayon and piece of construction paper. At today at the feeding program we brought pipe cleaners, beads, crayons, paper, and face painting – truly, it’s the little…
