Noise
Living in the middle of an African village is a noisy place to be. There is noise from 6 in the morning to midnight…quite often, even during the night, I wake up to animals fighting or drunks yelling! I’ve noticed it affects my state of mind…it gets muddled and confused. My thoughts can’t settle onto…

Worry…
There is an old Sunday school song that goes through my head whenever I start to really worry… “Why worry when you can pray? Trust Jesus, He’ll with you stay. Don’t be a doubting Thomas, Rest fully on His promise. Why worry, worry, worry, worry, When you can pray!!” It’s a spontaneous jingle…and it’s true!…

PMS
There are days that I am absolutely blank. These are the days that I just function and try to control my thoughts and emotions…these are the days filled with PMS! They don’t work out very well, unless you count a cleaning frenzy useful. I find myself snapping at my kids, planning my husbands demise and…

Wanderlust
Never Stop Wondering Never Stop Wandering Wanderlust…”strong longing for or impulse toward wandering”. This is my motto. We live in a world that is fascinating and full of things to experience. Since birth I have traveled. Mostly it was because my parents were missionaries in many places, but I also ended up working as a…

“Welcome to Holland” by Emily Kingsley
This essay was read at the missions conference I was just at. The lady reading it has a child with a disability. It resonated with me as well. This essay describes the loss of dreams, and how we can adjust to them. I could relate on a different level. I posted it as I thought…

Growing up…
Remember when you were young…and life was so full of complicated choices? Has it changed? I’m 45 and still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up! I used to think that I would have it figured out. I can decide what it is I want to do and then…
