Views from {Today}

One of my Kindergarten students wanted to draw a picture during free time today. 

So, he said to me, "Teacher, I want to picture it." 

I explained to him that what he needed to say was,

"Teacher, I want to draw a picture." 

His cute mis-phrase inspired me to give you a picture of my day.

Good Word

" You no more need a day off from spiritual concentration on matters in your life than your heart needs a day off from beating. As you cannot take a day off morally and remain moral, neither can you take a day off spiritually and remain spiritual. God wants you to be entirely His, and it requires paying close attention to keep yourself fit. It also takes a tremendous amount of time. Yet some of us expect to rise above all of our problems, going from one mountaintop experience to another, with only a few minutes’ effort."

-Oswald Chambers, excerpt from The Failure to Pay Close Attention

New Life

My dearest friend here in Korea has just undergone the glorious experience of childbirth. After months and months of waiting, praying and preparing the little man has finally arrived, and a week early to boot! I am so so proud of my dear friend who opted for a water birth, and she did the whole thing all natural! 


Thank you Jesus for the safe arrival of this precious new life. May You bless Mommy, Daddy & Baby greatly as they embark on this wonderful journey! 


So here's to you, my dear Gail, and your beautiful little family!

Mothering

"All women are called to mother. And all women are called to give birth. Women give birth to all kinds of things--to books, to churches, to movements. Women give birth to ideas, to creative expressions, to ministries. We birth life in others by inviting them into deeper realms of healing, to deeper walks with God, to deeper intimacy with Jesus. A woman is not less of a woman because she is not a wife or has not physically borne a child. The heart and life of a woman is much more vast than that. All women are made in the image of God in that we bring forth life. When we enter into our world and into the lives of those we love and offer our tender and strong feminine hearts, we cannot help but mother them."  

-Stasi Eldredge, Captivating
