Home sweet home

It is so great to be home.  Will and I spent all yesterday cleaning, because we left the house a disaster.  We have made progress.  We also got some new lamps to have brighter lighting in our house.  I didn't really how important that is, how it alters your mood and gives energy.  Our apartment was so dark because we live so close to the woods, and we don't have any overhead lighting.

I  appreciated the sermon today.  I love how our church pays attention to every little detail, and so much so follows the voice of God.  I never would have thought that our church would have could behind us so much so in these times with Judah.  They have been the body of Christ.

I am so excited to be able to start where I left off with Neighbors International.  I love working with International Students.  It seems to revive me and give me enthusiasm, excitement and energy.  

I can't wait to start up MOPS again, even though I have missed some meetings.  I have a great leader and I can't wait to meet the women in my group.

Dream BIG! A BIG dream of mine is coming true, before my very eyes.

When Your Dream Seems Impossible  What is one of your biggest dreams?  Now, think about that dream.  Is it not so hard to wait for it to happen?  This has been my struggle for many years. The still small voice of God's spirit in me says, "Wait, wait, not yet, wait, be patient"  I often argue with that still small voice, way more powerful than me.  "But Lord, why?  There is this internal dialogue that goes on in my mind, back and forth and man is that exhausting.  Can anybody relate with this? One of my dreams, has been to have a nice big house for our family.  It isn't really about the house, but making it a "home", a "refuge of safety", a place where my kids are free to make mistakes, to be vulnerable, to be loved, cherished and treasured. Financially it has taken us 13 years for this dream to come true..  How long did you have to wait for this dream of yours to come true? In the first couple of years of Will and I's marriag...

ELS, Teaching, More doctors

It has been a busy week...I was super excited Will got to come with me to ELS and talk with International Students.  There is a guy named Peter from Taiwan and he loves Ian and Ian loves him.  Ian has the biggest smile on his face and always says his name.  It's adorable to see.    I also went to the CMC at Miller Library at cornerstone.  I felt like a teacher in heaven to see all the creative things I can do in my house to teach Ian and prepare for a future teaching job.  I laminated some calendars, my new abc posters, center posters and borders that I got from the dollar tree.    I am looking forward to reading The Year Like Jesus by Ed Dobson.  I am also starting to study the similarities and differences in teaching children and adults.  I don't really have much experience teaching adults, so I am a little worried they may think something I do is too childish.  I organized the desks and cleaned them all in my new room for ...

Summer of fun

This is a time where God's provision is blowing us away especially with Judah's surgery around the corner: with meals and finances, and help from friends as well as strangers we have received. It seems as though people are coming from everywhere and telling us they are praying for us.  The Lord is definitely hearing your prayers. Ian is finally starting to show love to Judah.  This was my prayer for them every night for weeks.  He hugs him, gives him toys and likes to play next to him. Playing doctor Judah loves clapping his hands Reading together Ian gently hugging his brother Ian is so intelligent.  He says some very funny things.  Today while I was taking sand out of his tractor he said to me "stop you're making it worse" that was hilarious. He is our little dictator, he told me one day, "mommy you need to go to timeout" I left the patio screen open, and that is what I make him do if he forgets.  He lov...
