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 […]

The Whirlwind

December 15, 2020

Originally sent November 23, 2020 I found out a little over a week ago that the “mid-December” flight I had decided to try for, would actually be departing November 29 and arriving in PNG on December 2. As many of you know, I am a planner and that left me with two fewer weeks to […]

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.

I’ve been able to celebrate my nephew’s 2nd birthday with a cow cake (which he tried to feed), my niece’s 6th birthday […]

Invested Lives

March 15, 2020

If you’ve followed my email newsletter (I send them about once a month. If you’re not getting them and would like to, let me know) you may remember that I’m doing a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) study through Acts. Every few chapters it veers off to another book of the Bible— this week it was […]

What things would you miss the most?

February 8, 2020

Besides family and friends the best things about being in the States were: 1. Christian radio and new music 2. The Apple Store and their ability to fix the problems I’ve been having with my computer for the past 11 months by sending it away for all of 3 days. 3. The Cozy Cottage, of […]
