It’s Been Four Long Days
It’s been four days of no naps around here. No naps for Ellie. No naps for me. Four. Long. Days.
And I really need my naps. I keep wondering why I feel so tired and behind, and then I remember. Oh yeah. No naps.
One day I tried to lie down and rest a little. Ellie [...]
A Flower for Sunday
As for man, his days are like grass;As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,And its place remembers it no more.But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting.Psalm 103:15-17
Halfway there
Hooray! I’ve reached the 20 week mark, halfway there. It was high time I let everyone know how I look, and so, by popular request…a picture of me and my bump!
Honestly, I almost cut my head out of this one, because, Wow! do I ever need a haircut. I’m just not quite ready [...]
A Real Conversation
Kristie: Come on Ellie, let’s make the bed.
Ellie: (points to the blanket) Bank!
Kristie: Not the blanket yet. We have to do the sheet first. Here, help momma smooth the sheet.
Ellie: Baaa-aa-a! (and starts smoothing the sheet.)
(This conversation occurs every time we make the bed. She can’t hear the difference between sheet and sheep.)

O LORD, how manifold are your works!In wisdom You have made them all.Psalm 104:24
Stin-kheee
Ellie likes her stuffies to be diapered these days. From time to time she will decide that one of them, usually Baby, is ready for a change. She will bring me Baby, hand her to me and with her nose wrinkled up say, “Stin-kheee”. Sometimes everyone needs a change at once. Ellie helps me [...]
A Real Conversation
This is from my afternoon with Yi-fei. I think it’s also pretty unique to a Chinese seminary.
Yi-fei: (points to Ellie) So does she have a Chinese name?
Kristie: Yes, it’s Mu-xi.
Yi-fei: Good. Because my dad’s English isn’t very good. He only knows Greek.
(I think this was in preparation of telling his dad all about our [...]
The Redeemer of Israel
The scene in Isaiah 43 depicts the mighty hand of God who with active, passionate, authoritative power exalts and honors His people because He loves them and they are His.
The Lord says, “I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are mine.”
On what basis can our [...]
A Flower for Sunday
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most HighShall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress;My God, in Him I will trust.”Psalm 91:1,2
Little Apartment in the Big City
After one month, 30-some-odd hours over four days in IKEA, and a lot of elbow grease, our apartment has gone from looking like this…
…to Ta-DAAAAaaa!!!
(as in, I really like our little space now)
(except for the cockroaches. I don’t like the cockroaches*)
I took advantage of Ellie’s nap to straighten up and take a [...]
