| I can't begin to tell you how different our trip is compared to last time. First off, we've had more downtime, so we've been able to get adjusted to the time change. And since we were in Kiev last time in the dead of winter, we never had the chance to go out to explore the city. But since we arrived yesterday morning, we've |

| No doubt resolving conflict biblically was new to me in marriage! I have always run from conflict or 'bulldozed' - that's what I grew up seeing. I didn't know there was another way! Jason has been instrumental in me learning how to deal with conflict, but it hasn't been an easy road!In the very first paragraph Peace nips my natural |

| Man oh man, I had a bad morning, and 99.999% of it is because of our trip. Y’see, I’m making this awful mistake of reading the blogs from people who are in Ukraine right now. One couple is actually using our facilitator. They’re happy with the referral they got, but they requested a girl between the ages of 6-13 |

| I don't know much about American Girl. However, I learned today that 'they align themselves with organizations that support pro-abortion and homosexual agendas'. That's not what this post is about though. : )It's about a Christian woman with a young daughter who worked for American Girls, didn't agree with their decision, and used her |

| Oh, I LOVE reading stories like this! I'm in tears and stirred to 'go'! Oh, what an example to us, here, to not grow weary in doing good!!!!An elderly couple (from Canada!) have been serving and caring for orphans in Kenya. They were recently attacked suffering broken bones, deep cuts, and evidently a lot of surgery, and a long recovery. |

| Controlling my tongue, TEW ch 16 |
| Published: July 15, 2008, 2:28 pm |
| Well, perhaps this chapter addresses my greatest struggle, controlling my tongue. I can still recall the first time I read James 3 (remember I haven't known Jesus that long!). I was sitting in my car about 7:20 in the morning. I would intentionally get to campus early so that I could spend time reading the Word before my 8am class. Oh good |
