I’ve just been amazed at God so regularly lately. I guess I have really been feeling the strength of what happens when you commit youself to a ministry. God teaches you, guides you through it, and sustains you. I’ve been working with the PBCC Jr. High as well as Hyde’s Christian Club. Both have kept Read More
This past week has been one of reflection and thanks. The images from Passion of the Christ are still fresh in my mind as I reflect. You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body. (I Corinthians 19b-20) You were bought with a price, do not become Read More
Darn it. I typed this once…and now I’m typing it again because I closed the wrong window without saving first. So, here goes…again…. I’m way tired today. I’m doing all I can to put on the brakes of my freight train life. I want it to slow down, but sometimes God has other plans. My Read More
God is good (Psalms 119:68, 136:1). God loves me and wants me to have his best (Romans 8:32, 38-39). I am complete and accepted in Christ (Ephesians 1:4-6). God is enough (Psalm 23:1). God can be trusted (Isaiah 28:16). God doesn’t make any mistakes (Isaiah 46:10). God’s grace is sufficient for me (2 Corinthians 12:9). Read More
Life seems like an accordian to me. There are times where everything is spread out and breathing. Where there is music being made. And times where everything seems to crush together, making no sound. Today was one of the crushing days. I have so much on my mind. I have so much to do at Read More
There was a brown out in Cupertino today. I noticed it as I tried to drive through Cupertino and couldn’t get through all the stoplights and stuff because the were down. Shops started closing down and people were all over the streets. I went back to our Cupertino house and tried to paint some more. Read More
Well, I watched The Passion of The Christ yesterday. Kind of on a whim…but it was worth it. Anyway, I guess I’m just kind of sick of how society is dealing with this movie. On one hand, you have loads of Christians encouraging each other to see it, excited by the dialogues that may occur Read More
The Jr. High group at my church had an activity yesterday called “Do Ducks Have Lips?” Basically, the leaders dressed up in disguises and walked around the mall. The kids ran around and had to ask people the code phrase, “Do Ducks Have Lips?” Obviously, if someone not playing the game was asked, they’d say Read More
We’re having a contest at Christian Club (my middle school jr. high group) to find obscure, weird, or funny when out of context Bible verses. It will be next week and the kids will be combing the pages of their Bibles looking for their obscure verses. Here are mine so far: From there Elisha went Read More
It’s amazing the things that change over the course of a week. My books on pregnancy and motherhood have been packed away and replaced with books on miscarriage. The pants that were fitting tight around my waist a few days ago are today hanging on my hips. The maternity clothes that I took out and Read More
