Elisabeth Elliot was a missionary, author, and speaker, who exemplified a life of obedience, joy, and humbleness. I have read several of her books and listened to some of her speaking engagements and always walk away inspired in my faith. Have you read any of her books or listened to her speak?
And how about you? Who would you choose? And why? I’m eager to hear your thoughts…
(Boy, were we young, yikes!) I will never forget a walk I took with my older sister before I was about to get married. I had asked her for some marriage advice. Typically when you think of marriage advice, you think of the typical couples that pray together, stay together advice. I am NOT saying…
Have you ever thought about that? How we are never NOT being shaped by something? Okay, let me get rid of the double negative. WE ARE ALWAYS BEING SHAPED BY SOMETHING. Romans 12:2 says, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will…
Mazy attended her first “class” this past fall – Motor Movement – at the local rec center. We had heard a lot of positive comments about this class, and we figured that since we did not enroll Mazy in 3-school this year, that it would be a great and fun opportunity for her. And that…
It sure has been awhile since I’ve done a photo dump. Even though leukemia seems to control so much of my life, I am blessed to have a life outside of the walls of a hospital and doctor’s offices too. I’ve had my share of ups and downs, but I’ve still been able to find…
I call these “grace”-full goals because I need God’s grace everyday! Continuing thoughts on “Less Is More”… Aimlessly spending money is what you do when you’re confused about your life’s direction. I thnk that is a very insightful thought. When we randomly buy things, there really is no purpose behind the purchase (typically). I think…

I admired Corie Ten Boom whose hid Jews during the war. She had such faith then and then when she and her sister went to some awful places. I enjoyed hearing speak. Such a humble woman.
YES! I want to read more of her writings! What an incredible testimony of God’s faithfulness that she lived out so boldly. Like you said, such a humble woman, but she made an eternal difference and continues to as well!
I would choose to be with my Grandma P. because she exuded love and grace while yet strongly enforcing rules of good behavior. She never verbally told me that she loved me but her eyes told me clearly that she did. Long after her death her next-door neighbor told me that Grandma was the”most Christian person I ever knew.” But Grandma never spoke aloud words of testimony–she lived it! Her old well-worn Bible rested on the kitchen table near to the three loaves of bread she had just baked from scratch, on the day she died at 103 years of age: a picture of her life “Ora et Labora.”
What a testimony of your Grandma’s faith! What you spoke was such an encouragement to me, to think about how I LIVE my life b/c that is what speaks loudly. She sounds like an amazing woman and I can’t wait to meet her in heaven! Thank you for your comment, Kerry!
