For the place we find ourselves in life, Tim and I decided yesterday to take time to pray and fast. We did this last Monday and found it to be a good exercise in our spiritual lives. We read Ecclesiastes 2-3 and some Proverbs and then prayed for clear direction and obedience to follow.
I also read Colossians 1 and found this to be wonderfully comforting verses from Paul: We ask God to give you a complete understanding of what he wants to do in your lives, and we ask him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and you will continually do good, kind things for others. All the while, you will learn to know God better and better. We also pray that you will be strengthened with his glorious power so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father.
It's so good to know that although the future is uncertain to us, it's not unknown to God.
This is my life

- I'm living a dream on the beach in SE Asia with my best friend, a guy named Tim who I've been married to for 22 years, and our two awesome teenagers. We are dorm parents to 9 other students, better known as Third Culture Kids, who hail from America, Canada, Cambodia, Thailand, England and Australia. We love it here - the sticky humidity, barking geckos, fresh fruit, naan bread, amazing people and breathtaking scenery.
