Yes or No?
My last blog post had quite an impact, it seems. I received several positive comments. As I suspected, I'm not the only one who suffers from "people-pleasing syndrome," nor am I the only one who's tired of trying to be someone she's not.
Is There a Right Way to Minister?
Since moving to Wales, Jason and I have had to make many adjustments. Climate, time zone, and terms of measurement (like cm, liters, and Celsius)—to name a few. But for me, the biggest challenge has been figuring out who I am and my purpose in this new stage of life.
What's With the Tree?
After four years of having a single page on our mission website, I can finally return to having my own website. While I’m excited about the prospect, I realize how much work it is, and I can’t say I’m particularly looking forward to the building and transferring process. But I’m excited to have my own site again.
Whack-a-Mole
Have you ever played Whack-a-Mole? I'm not too fond of that game. No matter where I hit or how hard I strike, that silly mole pops out of a different hole, eluding my efforts to squash him. Since it's a game, I assume it was designed for entertainment, but it only causes me frustration. After ten minutes of expending copious amounts of energy and strategic thought, I'm left with that cheesy weasel grinning back at me in victory. What a massive waste of time and energy! Next game, please.

While hiking and walking throughout different areas in the UK this summer, we’ve become familiar with the foxglove plant.

They are truly fascinating to study and can be found throughout the area this time of year.
