It seems as though every time something goes sideways in my life (as it does in everyone’s life), my first reaction is to get anywhere from wanting to run and hide – to being upset – to getting depressed! You would never know that I did copious research a few years ago to teach a…
My church’s theme in Massachusetts is: “Give All For All To Find And Follow Jesus.” That sounds wonderful – and it is, but when that has truly become the theme of your life – I don’t mean to scare anyone – but ‘giving all to find and follow Jesus’ is not always going to be…
“He rescued me, because He delighted in me.” – Psalm 18.19b Or, in my own very loose translation, ‘He (God) is kee-razy over me!!’ I’m thinking that that was not what my mother was thinking on the day she delivered me all those many years ago in a sweltering August. It seems like every year…
Scripture tells us to be thankful in all things, but my July 7 trip/flight from Logan Airport in Boston to Zurich to Bucharesti kind of put that to the test. It wasn’t the worst trip I have ever had, but certainly one of the most difficult. I’m not going into detail here but from the get-go…
I love the Patriotic Song, “God Bless America”! Written by Irving Berlin in 1918 during World War I, he revised it in 1938 leading up to World War II. The words are as follows: While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free,Let us all be grateful…
As July 7 approaches, I get more and more excited about returning to the ‘other’ land that I love! I have a lot ahead of me – a lot I will have to figure out since much has changed in the orphanage system while I have been in Massachusetts. Pray with me, please, that with God’s…
How blessed one is to be loved and nurtured and supported. Oh, I definitely have two or three in my life that have seen it as their ‘calling’ to disrupt God’s ‘assignment’ in my life with the intention, even, to perhaps destroy not only the ministry God entrusted to me, but also, me, personally. Those…
– Great news! Lord wiling, I will head back to the ‘other’ land that I love on July 7, arriving in Brasov on July 8. My heart sings just thinking about it. – I will be faced with many-a difficult situation particularly locating where some of our precious ‘kids’ have been moved. I do know that I…
Because of logistics, our families rarely got to see each other, but my mother had a friend who was, indeed, appropriately named Grace. And Grace just loved – loved me as a child, and after my parents ‘passed’, she loved me even more. Her own two daughters told me at one time, that their mother…
Once again, a month (since I wrote April’s Update), has sped by like one week! The following is just some of what Love From Above has encountered: The government continues to move some of our ‘kids’ to orphanages far worse than even Barza Mica. If it is in my power – or rather God’s power…
