How easy it has become to get mixed up! You scroll past a “cool slogan” on Facebook and without thinking about it, BAM! You share it.

The Lord’s Servant
We received word a couple nights ago that a friend, who performed our marriage ceremony, and whom we worked alongside as missionaries with Child Evangelism Fellowship the first 15 months of our marriage, died. Totally unexpected. A routine knee surgery but a blood clot. The trials and sorrows that many are facing seem to be … Continue reading The Lord’s Servant
Odd Moments of True Worship
My dear hubby, Rodrigo, as I affectionately refer to him, calls my car a “zoom-zoom” car because it has a power-packed engine and a moon roof which circulates the breezes as we zoom down the country roads. The other day as I gazed out the window from the passenger seat, my heart silently sung to … Continue reading Odd Moments of True Worship

Agonizing Discipline
"But I beat down my body, and bring it into subjection" . . . a reminder from 2019's "no dairy, no sugar" fast!
Airport Protocols
Not a good way to start the day off; I put the Southwest worker in a bad mood! He asked me to move aside twice. My boarding pass would not load, and then I brought up my hubby’s instead of mine. 🤦🏼♀️ As I smiled through his impatience, I wondered why ALL airports could not … Continue reading Airport Protocols
A “Sweet” Mission Conference
Let me share how difficult it has been participating in a “no dairy, no sugar” fast while at a Church Mission Conference. If you are not familiar with church fellowships, let me give you a snapshot—Delicious looking Desserts are served after each meal. Cookies are passed in front of my face. Donuts 🍩 of all … Continue reading A “Sweet” Mission Conference
