When we first arrived in Haiti as missionaries, it was extremely difficult and pretty scary…the embargo against Haiti had been lifted and their president was reinstated by the US military…Should we even be bringing our 7 and 9 year old children into a situation like this? Had God really called us to this work?
Because I was in high school during the 60s, I heard true freedom came from throwing off the shackles of society and certainly the church…I was ripe to believe all the lies swirling around me and primed for the message of my outspoken atheistic college professor whose idea of fun was mocking people of faith. He was singing the song I wanted to hear: get rid of God! Happiness and freedom will be your reward.
Is it possible that our weakness is our greatest strength?
It seems counterintuitive at first, but God is graciously and patiently helping me to see how my weakness draws me closer to him and how his power is manifested through my insufficiency.
I recently had my second child, little Thea June, and this transition to two kids has been quite the whirlwind! For starters, Thea was a NICU baby, and while she wasn’t in the NICU for much more than 24 hours, it was so hard to see our baby taken away from us as soon as we had met her.
I grew up in the ballet world but I have branched out a little bit in my adult years.
A few years ago I took several swing dance classes. There are different types of swing dances, but they are all done to the big band music from the 1920s through 1940s. When dancing with a partner, one person is the “lead” and one person is the “follow.”
