God is making our lives complete as we place all the pieces before him. We get a fresh start every day so we are watching our step as He rewrites the text of our lives by opening our hearts to His eyes.
Paraphrase Psalm 18:20-24
we had a potluck with all our best abilities to make it an american tradition with a grill...but poor greg...his hot dogs didn't even fit on the grill :D hahahaha! but we enjoyed a parade by the kids who decorated their bikes...and even fireworks in the end...we were americans, dutch and indonesians all together :D ian always tries to squint his eyes now when we sees a camera...he holds this pose until the flash goes off! hahaha!
greg and i spent some time getting this place ready with a new menu, new look, new ideas and hopefully it will take off running :D people you see pictured are workers and of course brookie and hazel :D
So we are getting our PEARL name out there in the community and networking with those who want to work with us in the human trafficking areas. it's a great thing when God just puts people in your path and they have all the answers and encouragement you need for a month! i nearly cried this week when i met a guy at the grocery store who may be just what we need in many areas. these pictures are from our team at a bazaar where we talked to many leaders about what we are doing and what they are doing here so we can work together. i think it was a great start for our town! (and beyond)
i have started working on ideas for selling things...trying new things...here are some lamps i have made out of bird cages. i think it's a better idea to sell in america...but ya know...if we just keeping making and dreaming...and rising and rising...the lambs will become lions
you can't see a lot of the detail on this one but it's good to make :D
summer time is almost here! but here it feels like summer all the time! we can swim year round...we sweat constantly...it's always sunny unless it's raining...life is good :D
