Ah yes, Sweden

Dear friends & family, Thanks for those who have taken interest in my ministry in Sweden. Many have asked for ways to pray for me and others from my church who have come to serve alongside our Nordic brothers and sisters. Here are some requests/updates: – Training Week complete; thank the Lord. I have given […]

hey did we mention Sweden?

Hi friends! I’m popping in to ask for prayer as e is away on another mission trip. This time he is in Sweden training, speaking and ministering to the Chinese from Nordic countries. This trip is very much like the last couple trips. If you didn’t hear about them before, this post will give you […]

the world traveler returns

Thanks for your concerns and prayers for us. I wanted to share an answer to prayer: the lost suitcase has returned! Sitting here now, it feels silly to dedicate a post to luggage. Even still, I know that we ought to be grateful for everything. We are quite relieved that we don’t have to go […]

oh, I should mention…

We’ve had a busy few weeks around here. Currently e is in the Philippines. I guess we should have mentioned it earlier and asked for your prayers. Actually, he didn’t have time to send a “proper” prayer letter until the day he left. He’s going with two others from our church to partner with a […]

processing, processing

What a week we’ve been through. Our family watched many hours of tv covering the bombings, manhunt and eventual arrest. There is a small amount of relief in the apprehension of a suspect. Lots of questions remain about the event. Perhaps in time, we will get answers. E and I have been pondering how people […]

Hello friends, You probably already heard about the explosions at the end of the Boston Marathon this afternoon. We are ok. E and I have been pensive about this event. It is not just because it happened “in our town” but the jarring effect that these situations have. Tragedies and violence stir up many emotions: […]

the slow ascent

Hello. I am laughing to myself about the tone of peace and calm from the last post. I certainly don’t feel that today! We are in conference/retreat/travel season around here. From now until the end of March at least one member of the family will have attended two conferences, two retreats, one out of state […]

recent encouragement

The other day the family and I video chatted with my mom. We got to show her what’s been going on around here and the first snow fall of the season (only a week after the superstorm, crazy!). In return, she showed us the progress she’s been making since her stroke. My mom’s been walking […]

steady in the storm

As we watched the news Monday night, e and I were amazed at the power of the hurricane/tropical storm Sandy. No wonder we kept getting calls from family. Praise God, we didn’t sustain any damage, excessive flooding or power outages. Monday morning we ventured out to Costco to restock our empty fridge. The boys had […]

the informal education

Since last I wrote here, I have been praying over my passions and my calling. I inquired about part-time work. I looked up auditing classes at nearby Tufts University. I sought godly advice. I commiserated with other women in my situation. I investigated degree programs. After all that, I have felt God confirming one thing–the […]
