In the Middle of Nowhere: Thinking Through the Pain

I grew up as a MK, married, and went into missions. I am daily surprised by what God has me doing. Not what I thought. Not what I trained for. Not what I planned. I have this sneaking suspicion that He wants me to trust Him, not what I can do...

I have four kids, three boys and a girl. Once I had another girl, but her time with us was short. My kids are full of energy, full of life, and full of questions.

I don't say where we are. I don't post photos on my blog. We are now not where we work, but we do return, and because of that, there are no photos or full names on this blog. You are welcome to get to know me anyway!

I don't do any weaving or carving, but I love to watch both. It reminds me that God is carving His image in my life, taking away what does not need to be there, working on me. That He is weaving my life into His plans. I admire the patience and skill of such craftsmen and am thankful for my Father's patience and skill in my life. Thankful for those who He uses to work with Him in my life.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. - Eph 2:0

being His work,
