Things I’ve been learning from Mother Teresa

Well, it all started  at a house church gathering where Travis shared the story of the Sheep and the Goats in Mathew 25:31-46 and a trip to India.  I saw a picture of Mother Teresa on the wall everyday as we worshiped and taught in a Catholic Retreat Center in Northern India.  The nuns in [...]

Hospitality

I was thinking today about how hospitable many of the refugee families are that I meet.  They invite us into their home, get out a little tray and glasses and serve us the ever famous orange drink “tang” or tea and fruit.  They don’t mind visitors just “dropping by”.  Many times I see them sharing [...]

Hello Again…

Well, it has been since May that I last posted and so much has happened.  The last post was that God doesn’t take shortcuts which is so true, but His way is better- I know.  We are so grateful for all the ways he has been working in our lives, teaching us and providing for [...]

God Normally Doesn’t Take Short-Cuts

I don’t know if you are like me, but I love short-cuts, whether it is short-cuts in learning something, household chores, travel, etc…   But, I have noticed that God normally doesn’t like to use short cuts.  For those of you who don’t know Travis and I are praying about some big decisions and it [...]

PEACE….

Around Thanksgiving, our simple church was able to take some gift cards to some refugee families to bless them.  In our card we left our phone numbers and said, we would love to be friends and help them in any way.  Over the past couple of years the ministry we are a part of called [...]

Life Changing Experiences…

Hi Friends, I am sorry I haven’t been blogging lately, I have tossed around the idea of just quiting for good.  I was encouraged via facebook to share a little about some of my life-changing experiences overseas.
Well, several months after Travis and I got married, we packed up everything and went to Aurora, CO to [...]

For Love is as Strong as Death…

Today my Uncle Melvin Watson died, from a year long battle with cancer that ravaged his body.  He fought very hard up until his last breathes.  Jesus has been at work during his suffering and I have been impacted by witnessing his last days.  I have never been this close to the process of death. 
I [...]
