God Always Gives Us

God Always Gives Us

March 1, 2025

An Opportunity to Trust Him More The last month has been one of those valleys in my ministry, where I had a really hopeful December and had many optimistic goals as I reflected at the beginning of the year, but things have not turned out as I had hoped. I am challenged with remembering that […]

Moved by Prayer

Moved by Prayer

October 24, 2024

So almost two years ago, I started watching videos of the classes that Ethnos360 Bible Institute offers. I watch through 1 or 2 classes every 6 or 7 weeks. Right now, I’m studying the Prophets—not something I’ve studied a lot before, and the first book was Amos. I was struck by the exchange of Amos […]

You See Me When I Travel

You See Me When I Travel

September 6, 2024

As I was anticipating the gradual decent into Goroka, absorbed in cleaning out the photos on my phone as I always do when I’m flying, I felt the momentum of the plane change. Instead of steadily going down, we were accelerating and turning. Several minutes passed before the pilot came over the intercom to say […]

Do not merely listen, think on, ponder

Why we do this . . .

Why we do this . . .

November 17, 2021

I realized today, that for the last several days, I’d been dating my journal pages 10/11/21 or 10/13/21-with October instead of November.  And then I noticed the same mistake in the spreadsheet I use to keep track of finances.  When the weather is the same year round, it’s hard to remember what month it is!

At His Feet

At His Feet

July 16, 2021

To Rest at His Feet (originally written May 1, 21) I love seeing God at work in and through people, and lately I’ve been super excited at the ways the Lord is using me— not because I’m special or overly-skilled in some way.  Let it be an encouragement to you that He can and wants […]

An Irritant in the Mouths of Oysters

An Irritant in the Mouths of Oysters

December 11, 2020

originally written October 26, 2020 I feel like experience after experience, interactions and small world connections keep layering on top of one another.  It’s hard to see clearly what it is God is up to, but I know with confidence that He is in control and sees clearly what my eyes have not brought into […]

The Million Dollar Question

The Million Dollar Question

August 30, 2020

You know how there are times in life when you might hear the same question a lot?  When you start kindergarten— “do you like school!?”  Or when you’re a senior in high school you might be asked what you’re going to do when you graduate?  When you’re getting married, people will say, “when’s the date?” […]
