The Lord will protect you now and always wherever you go. Psalm 121: 8
What a comfort this is to me as we are preparing to move to South Asia! And what a comfort during any time of transition. God’s protection is greater than any distance, time, people, circumstance, developing country, government. Wherever I go–whatever I do–I have His protection.

You May Kiss Your Bride…
by Andrea in South Asia, Things Women Understand, Wedding
Drumroll, please…It is finished!
Not the selling of our house, or the packing up of our house, or the fundraising.
THE WEDDING SCRAPBOOK!
Finally, it is finished. 3 years, 3 months and 24 days of marriage; 3 scrapbook binders; 2 photo albums; 5 rolls of double-sided tape; 3 gluesticks; lots of trash (including the extra invitations, programs, bits of cards, photos); and a sore back from sitting-on-the-floor-instead-of-at-a-table LATER…I have completed our wedding scrapbook and disposed of the trash that it generated.
My life is a tiny bit simpler and my office is a tiny bit more organized and straighter. And, my list of things to finish before February/we leave/sell our house/move out of our house/ is now minus one! I SHOULD be dancing around celebrating!
But what do I do afterward? Cry buckets.
Why, you ask? Well, see. There’s a crazy grief that comes with moving to a different country that sometimes manifests itself in unexpected ways. So, here we are.

Quote of the Week
by Andrea in Life and the Gospel, Quotes
Be stunned and satisfied that we know God and that He knows us. Future Grace, John Piper
How would this transform my life if I allowed it to? I should be stunned that a sovereign God cares about me and provided a sacrifice for me to be in relationship with Him. But how often does that become commonplace?
I should be satisfied that God knows me because He is THE thing that my heart longs for to be complete. He is faithful, purposeful, always there, just, and the only way to salvation.
