Well, "my month" was up on Friday. I did mention that, right? That I felt like the Lord used my father to tell me to wait a month and not accept any or job hunt for a month. So I took a literal month (24th January-24th February) and turned down jobs and prayed and got stuff done (such moving into grandmom's room, moving...
"I have received word from my contacts that brother Youcef Nadarkhani's life is in immanent danger. There is an increased chance that he will be executed for his faith. His case has stalled and negotiations have ceased. We asked that you pray for brother Youcef and if the Lord leads you to fast as well." Present Truth Ministries Update 2/22/12- We have received a...
Well, yesterday was hard. Remember the woman I took care of overnights in the summer three days a week? Anyway, she has Parkinson's and Dementia and is the mother of someone I know from church. Well, yesterday they needed a sitter for the day and since I have no permanent job yet, I said I was available. And I don't regret doing it- but it...
Well. I'm "mostly" moved into my grandmom's old room (I still keep calling it grandmom's room, and I'm trying to break the habit.)It's like three times the size of my old room and I'm not sure what to do with myself. It looks totally different since we pulled the rug up and I'm just keeping the hardwood flooring that was underneath and I...
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love,...
Our ESL classes are starting up today! Please please please pray for us! We're way more organized this time, but we honestly don't know what to expect with this next session (the Philadelphia libraries have cut funding for their classes so we may be getting a ton of people...) and one of our lead teachers can no longer help with the class. Thankfully we're...
...I just really miss my grandmom. I know one day I eventually need to update this blog. I really don't know what I'm gonna do with it. A couple times I've gone to edit the "about me" and I just can't do it. Maybe it's because I don't have anything to replace it with...but then, I know one thing the Lord is teaching...
time flies. anyway, instead of being all grandmom nostalgic today, I'll post a link to something that super challenged me on the sr high retreat (did I even mention I went on that???) last weekend: Holiness Before Happiness by A.W. Tozer This is something that always is a struggle for me and I think a root in a lot of my anxiety. A...
I figure it's getting about that time I should write some posts I promised to write awhile ago. First one being about grandmom dying. I don't want to forget it all, and I do want to praise the Lord here on this blog for the way it all went down. I've been avoiding writing it because 1. it takes time. 2. it'll make...
