Nonstop

Stop the nonstop. 

Wait. Breathe.

Be still and know that He is God. 

Not an easy sell to busy minds. Crowded calendars. Never-ending notifications. 

But necessary.

Needful.

Devotional Memoir

Someday

When Someday seems too far, the fragile heart mourns. Torn. Tender. 

Walking in the weight of sorrow. 

Sitting in the dark.

And we cry out for rocky paths made smooth. The broken place, whole. Strong winds and high waves, stilled.

Longing to affirm the true. And say we are crushed but not in despair.

Crossing Cultures Memoir

Unexpected surrender

Unexpected surrender started with an invitation. Out of the blue. To consider a role in the U.S. 

And our immediate thought? No. Can’t be right. Our calling is cross-cultural. Among the nations. 

Besides, we weren’t ready to leave South Asia and her people. The place had wrestled its way into our hearts.

Then another ask came. To focus on megacities in South Asia. Surely that’s the one, we thought. Fits our heart and skill set. New city. Same area of the world.
