Builds

The word of the Lord comes to Jeremiah. 

Calling out kings. 

“Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness,
And his upstairs rooms without justice,
Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay
And does not give him his wages….”
Jeremiah 22:13

But kings. And others. 

Stubbornly. Willfully do not listen. 

To God’s voice.

Crossing Cultures Memoir

Listing losses

Back in the day we studied our stress by listing losses. Marking life experiences.

All the cross-cultural moves. Illnesses. Births. Deaths. Evacuations.

Added up, the numbers were telling. 

Stress levels confirmed.

Listing losses.

Strong roots and movable tents

Packing up our lives every few years. Crossing oceans and borders.  Figuring out friendships and fellowships and schools. 

Navigating the spiritual landscapes that we land in. 

How do we pray for our children in this cross-cultural life? Specifically and strategically?

Along the way I see the need for strong roots and movable tents. Stability and flexibility.
