4/2/2023 0 Comments The bible study book stuckWhen I was made for so much more why do I chase after the wind… This isn’t, where are we going to eat out, I don’t have anything to wear, I want biscuits not corn muffins. I haven’t finished this book, but the Lord is stirring in me. It was surreal to sit in a beautiful pediatric dental office where my girls have the choice of bubblegum, strawberry, mint, and 10 other toothpaste flavors, while reading about Katie bathing a little girl, in the closest home with clean water first dripping water on her wrist (Katie’s), then the child’s, so she wouldn’t be afraid. When Jennie said God changed her life the night she read Katie’s blog I believe it! Tears began to swell in my eyes as I read about Katie’s calling and compassion at age 18 for children in Uganda. It wasn’t until that afternoon while I waited at the dentist with the girls that I had time to dive in. I mentioned that Katie’s book was left for me. It is the outpouring of a life devoted to Christ. Last week I mentioned “Project 1” on page 64. Let’s don’t forget the orphans – most are not eligible for adoption. People collect plastic to fill bags as tall as they are to trade for 10 gallons of clean water. 90% of women choose this path to simply feed their children. Recently, Mike and I talked about our upcoming mission trip to the Dominican Republic (when you read this we will be there!) We watched a video about Lily House and the amazing work they are doing to help rescue women and children from prostitution. I have chased after things that I truly thought would matter, make me happy, fulfill me. Sadly, I have done a lot of it in my life. It is a little windy today outside refreshingly fall, but still… unsettling. There is something tossing in me today… I am unsettled.
