28November2016 Quickshot: Masha Allah

How interesting that we moved 5000 miles from the Middle East and our next door neighbor has this hanging on their door.   It says Masha Allah, in Arabic, which means God has willed (allowed) something to happen.  It's a phrase denoting both joy and gratitude for what He has done.  How appropriate.  We believe there is a reason why God places us in the paths and lives of people.  The same Divine Providence that brought us to our current home brought our neighbors to theirs.  MashaAllah!  We are looking for ways to love them in His good Name.  Please pray for that.

27November2016 Advent

What is advent?  We never really participated in this tradition growing up but have found it is a very encouraging way to focus, take a deep breath and stay connected to the Father throughout the Christmas holiday.
As we kickoff the Advent season, we wanted to make you aware of a couple great resources.  P is following the He Reads Truth series while D is participating in the She Reads Truth.  You can visit them online or download the apps to your phone or tablet.
