Hello Friends,
I wanted to post that I will no longer be updating this site, as some of you may of guessed by the long time period in between this post and my last one! I’m getting married and we plan to have a blog up and running soon!!
I will stay in touch,
Anna
I’m sure you have all heard about the earth quake that happened in Sichuan last week. Over 30,000 people are dead and millions are homeless. I live about 1,500 miles from Sichuan province and didn’t even feel the quake. I have seen frantic images of people experiencing horrible grief, shock, and fear. It is […]
Sometimes I wonder how G. is making all things New. I’m learning to delight in the fact that G.’s ways are so far above my ways and thoughts so far above my thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8 ) It’s pretty sweet that my life is now to trust Him and believe Him in all things. It […]
I’ve been trying to write this update all afternoon. Usually this part of the update just comes to me…but today it isn’t. This week in my B. study we have been talking about when you’ve been “had by Satan” (in other words when you’ve fallen and G. brings you out of it) how much […]
I have a case of the crabbies! It started about two weeks ago and every day for at least half the day I struggle with extreme amounts of frustration and annoyance with work, culture, etc. I feel this sense of laziness where I drag myself to tutor Charlie and Daniel and try to find […]
I struggle with prejudice. I think everyone does, but sometimes I’m gripped with the sad reality that I am prejudice against the very people I’m trying to live among and love. This week I was in the visa office. I was frustrated and afraid! I’ve been having some issues with my visa and the […]
Its so great loving people who love you back and think you are wonderful! Every time I see Noah I feel all giggly and silly… kind of like a 5 year old. He is so easy to love, because he lavishes me with love. Even when we have conflicts I always feel like we […]
I was thinking about all the times in my life G. has spared me from huge mistakes through the authority of walls. The term wall is usually used in a negative sense. For example, I put up walls when I have been hurt and don’t want to let others in. Also, when I think […]
I’ve been thinking this week about how much G. loves. Not only me personally, but how much he loves people that I feel helpless to love. This morning I was at the post office trying to mail something to the United Kingdom. Mailing things here can be so difficult. You have to seal the envelopes […]
Sometimes I forget that this is my Father’s world! I so long to see change happen in the eyes of what at times can seem hopeless. In the place I live in change is slow, and mostly agonizing waiting change that requires patience, persistence, and endurance. I’ve realized that some of my restlessness comes […]
