Our weekly vlog:
This past week we had school and Living Stones and home-fixing projects, as well as a recuperating Jessie who still is having issues with night sleeping. Sunday was Father's day in Brazil, and so we had a lovely weekend celebrating that!
Reads from the Interwebs:
1. A missions conference just for kids: I would love to do this sometime!
2. When we Disadvantage ourselves: “The only way to reach the disadvantaged is to disadvantage ourselves which turns out to be to our advantage.”
3. Drowning in a pit of Do-Do: "At the end of a day, end of a season, end of a term of service… there’s no DONE in serving. If our identity and sense of value are intertwined with our to-do list, we will drown in a pit of do-do."
4. Fictitious Billy and God's highest calling: "As Billy got older the language changed. God’s “best” job became God’s “highest calling” and Billy fervently prayed that he would respond to that highest calling. On home assignments, Billy was popular. He was smart, good-looking, and fun to be around. You couldn’t not love Fictitious Billy, double negative and all. He was just that kind of kid. His youth pastor took him under his wing, and everyone knew that Billy was Chosen – with a capital ‘C’."
5. Mid-life and an 40-something birthday: So I am getting ready for my 36th birthday...
6. Is Missions a Joke? A MUST READ this week!
