You know what’s not
evil? What does not bring me tears at
night? What doesn’t always consume my
thoughts, but should?
These things…
Sweet Hannah from the Children’s Home grabbing my hand and
asking me to dance with her.
Little Lah swinging on the swing with me.
My nephew Facetiming me.
A good book.
A true moment of worship through song.
A friend I met last year at Christmas who immediately chose
to support me monthly in my mission.
The people who believe in me and encourage me.
The friends and family who make the extra effort to talk to
me even though it’s not always convenient.
My mom who bought me an electric blanket so I won’t be cold
when I come home.
My eldest niece dancing in the Nutcracker.
My youngest niece smiling for the first time.
When I hear Barang read an entire sentence when 6 months ago
he couldn’t.
Knowing that some of our students heard the name of Jesus
for the first time today.
Friends who are able to get pregnant after months of
disappointment.
That I was able to celebrate my Papaw’s last birthday, his
80th, with him.
Big sisters who make you feel like a million bucks.
Fireplaces, hazelnut coffee, and Mariah Carey's Christmas album.
An almost non-countable amount of fond memories of your childhood.
The smile of the Common Grounds staff every morning I walk
in.
That moment a child experiences when they finally understand what you’ve been
trying to teach them.
That I have more grace and mercy than I could ever
deserve.
“… Fix your thoughts
on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and
admirable. Think about things that are
excellent and worthy of praise.”
Philippians 4:8
