Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

Deny yourself

Early in my adolescent years, Mom remarked, “If Dad said the sky was blue, you would say it’s green.”  Her words stand out in my mind.

Although I most likely protested (duh), inside I knew she was right. As I grew, maturity glossed over that stubbornness.

But pride still hovered close to the surface.

I was 29 when I married Todd and 33 when our first child was born.  Suddenly a lot of “set in my ways” was unset and upset.

Then we arrived in Pakistan in 1992.

Trust Me

In the midst of the move, fears slip in. Without permission. A thin thread of doubt weaves its way through my mind. Second guesses undermine trust.

Trust in the One who leads us.

“Be sober-minded, be alert,” Peter says (1 Peter 5:8). Somedays I’m catching my breath and need this reminder. Front and center.
