A Flower for Sunday
“In this world you will have trouble;
But take heart!
I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
Thanksgiving: What We Ate
In the end, we had leftover soup for Thanksgiving dinner.
At least it was darn good soup. Minestrone. And even better the second day.
Jason decided to give himself a holiday and take the afternoon off from studying. The sun came out too. I was going to send him and Ellie off to the park while I [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, from Taiwan, with love
The sad truth about spending the holidays in Taiwan is: You sometimes forget they are here.
I decided to have leftovers for dinner this Thursday. Two times.
On Saturday, when I was doing my meal planning for the week before heading to the market, I looked at my schedule and noticed that since my small group [...]

Very soon after we received this gift I overheard this conversation while [...]

Ai-di: (noticing my clothes) Did you just exercise?

Ai-di: (noticing how sweaty I am) Running?
Kristie: (Busted!) Well, [...]

Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous!For praise from the upright is beautiful.Psalm 33:1
A Real Conversation
I’ve been weaning Ellie this past month, from three nursing sessions a day to none. It has been a really easy process, mostly we’ve had this conversation several times.
Ellie: Milk?
Kristie: You want to drink some milk? Sure, let’s go get your cup of milk.
Ellie: No. Momma Milk. (While nodding–she answers her own requests in the [...]
