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…
We have developed a completely new vocabulary, living with a toddler. One that usually makes no sense to anyone else but us, yet a vocab that has taught me far greater than new words. Let me share just a few: Sup-pa = pizza Amen = when she’s done reading a book gawk = milk George…
Dan and I have been deeply convicted about the poverty in not only the United States, but in the world. After our trip to Belize, our eyes were just opened (once again) to a world that we so easily neglect because we get caught up in our own little world here. By own little world,…
On Thursday, Dan and I headed back out to Minnesota to find a place to live. The whole trip started with trusting God that He would provide. When we lost focus of that trust, we would stress out and feel overwhelmed. But when we kept our focus on God and just stopped and prayed when…
From the world of Wonder, which sparked a movement to “choose kind,” comes the inspirational next chapter: WHITE BIRD. Struggling to fit in at his new school after being expelled for his treatment of Auggie Pullman, Julian (Bryce Gheisar) is visited by his grandmother (Helen Mirren) and is transformed by the compassionate and heroic story of her…
Boy, our life has been pretty boring since the beginning of the summer! Even though we have had so much fun this summer, we are thankful for this time of rest before the youth group year starts up again in full-force. So what have we been doing? NOT MUCH. Every Monday we have Open Rock,…
Are you “WHOA-ED” by life? I have been thinking about that as I have watched Mazy grow. A little 20 month old has taught me so much about living and loving life. I watch her just soak in so much about life – even to the point where she says “WHOA” in amazement, as she…

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!
