This picture is my attempt to give an excuse for my blogging absence over the past few weeks. Now that all the paperwork for my visa is ready (woo hoo!), I hope to post more thoughts to blogging world shortly! Till then, I'm leaving you with a fantastic quote I stumbled upon:
We do NOT need the grace of God to withstand crises- human nature
and pride are sufficient for us to face the stress and strain magnificently.
But it DOES require the supernatural grace of God to
live twenty-four hours of every day as a saint,
going through drudgery, and living an ordinary, unnoticed,
and ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus.
It is ingrained in us that we have to do exceptional things for God-
but we do not.
We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things of life,
and holy on the ordinary streets,
among ordinary people- and this is not learned in five minutes."
-Oswald Chambers "My Utmost for His Highest" -Oct 21 entry
By the way, if you don't have this book, GET IT!!! Right now, for under $5!!! Go, Go, Go!
Merry Christmas!

Wow, that's almost a dissertation! Love the quote--I need God to transform me in the little things (my attitude, kind words to my kids) every day. I definitely need His power during stressful times.
Keep up the hard work. We're praying for you!
