Back to daily life


Now that I have been back, life goes back to normal. I like having my routines back. Here's a peek of my life...
One of my great joy and privilege is to teach the Word of God. I think most people do not realise how much we have to study before we can teach or preach on the Word.  I am not complaining though because I do consider it a blessing and privilege to do what I do. The best thing is that when we soak ourselves in His Word, our lives are aligned to His purpose and destiny for us.  Even if you are not studying to teach the Word, I want to encourage you to study it for yourself! You will be blessed! And if you are in the neighbourhood, join us every Tuesday as we study the book of James.




 These ladies are such a blessing to me! They have become such important part of my life. I didn't even realise how much I would miss this class until I had to travel recently. Their faithfulness, their desire to learn and their faith gives me such motivation when I study for them.

With all my travels, I had developed both "golfers" and "tennis" elbow. I didn't think its fair that I had either condition since I played neither sports! It wasn't a big deal though, I just had to remember not to carry anything heavy which actually was harder than I thought. I guess as moms, we are so used to hauling any amount of stuff - bags, luggage, groceries, children, etc. When I did forget, I was quickly reminded when I felt the pain. I thought if we had such clear and effective reminders of all the things we should not be doing, perhaps our lives would be so much better?  Just a thought!

The physiotherapist also told be that long hours at the laptop and poor posture while using a laptop can also caused the two elbow conditions or at the very least aggravate it. So I got myself the nifty gadget - kinda like a lapdesk. Its pretty cool as it comes with an inbuilt fan for the laptop!

So this is a peek into my day to day life!

Turning 60 : Reflections on a New Season

  Turning 60: Reflections on a New Season I was having lunch with a friend yesterday and found myself talking about my 60th birthday. I’m not usually one to make a big deal about birthdays—but as I approached this milestone, I found myself reflecting a little more deeply. Sixty feels… different. Special, even. One birthday message on Facebook welcomed me to the “Senior Club.” Apparently, turning 60 bumps you into a whole new age bracket. What does that mean? Well, for starters, higher insurance premiums—got that notice earlier this year! But beyond the paperwork, it feels like a shift. This is the beginning of a new season. Some call it the “final” season of life—but I’ve decided to see it as a privileged one. Because now, at 60, I’m the youngest in this new demographic! There are perks too—senior discounts at movie theaters, restaurants, parks, museums. Priority seating on trains and planes. It took me six decades to earn these privileges, and I’ll gladly accept them! Looking...

The Secrets of a Pastor's Marriage

Recently I posted a picture of myself and a beautiful bouquet of flowers,,,,It was one of those special moments in our marriage. I had been feeling pressured with an unending to do list and preparing for a missions trip. I was sharing with Tony how stressed I was before leaving to have a quick dinner with Vickie. When I returned home, Tony suprised me with this beautiful bouquet. He just wanted to bless and encourage me.  Yes, he's sweet and thoughtful and let me just put it out there once and for all, HE IS ALL MINE :) I was surprised by the number of people who liked the post. I suppose many are "curious" what a pastor's marriage look like...is it perfect? Is it easier because both of us are pastors? I thought I share a few pictures and thoughts on the subject.   Firstly, our marriage is not perfect - it's just like yours - there are always up and downs, the good and the bad, the happy and the sad, the sweet and sour! In many ways, a ministers...

Kenya

After our missions in Tanzania, I flew back to Nairobi for a few days before I return home.  No trip is complete without seeing Lucy and the kids.   It is so good to see Lucy, well and walking without pain.  It was the school holidays so only the orphans are   around.  Saturday is also cleaning day for the kids, Lots of washing and water!  I like the new paint!   The pretty  chapel    Some income generating project that the kids are involved in - rabbits farming, chickens and a vegetable farm. They are expecting rains soon!   The toddler being held in this picture is the newest addition. She was left in the cold for at least 24 hours. The police brought her to the home. The other kids enjoy taking care of their new "sister". A group picture is a must, of course! The kids love having their pictures taken.    It was such a blessing to see Sach ...
