Early Morning Missionary: Part Five: Deficiency

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2014/02/part-five-deficiency.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. I don't remember her name or even her face. I do remember her saying she had been to the darkest side of dark. Caring for children is too much work and no one should have more than one." I told him I was a Christian and would not consider an abortion. He said he would not treat me and sent me to the final doctor. She helped me with a vitamin plan and said I should start feeling better in a month. Labels: Prenatal Depression Series. Casey, thank you for...

Early Morning Missionary: Life in Community: Holes

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2015/07/life-in-community-holes.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Life in Community: Holes. She was just standing there in the field, loosely holding the rope attached to her one bull. She still had on her silky pajama top over her new pink sarong. She ominously faced the west, the direction of the setting sun, despite that fact it was early morning. The sun is setting on her existence as she knows it. This kind of selfishness is soul deep permeating human-kind, and it's complicated. Oh, how I worry about those holes ...

Early Morning Missionary: Confessions: Undivided

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2015/07/confessions-undivided.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Saturday, July 4, 2015. The cafeteria was crowded, but we were walking fast. 8220;I don’t understand why you won’t be my best friend! 8220;Well, I have lots of friends and love them all.”. My mind flashed to the stories she had told me of the mission team she grew up with, the ladies deciding to love each other equally, and how beautifully it had turned out: a group of best friends for life. I was in trouble. If only I could convince her…. Survey Trip to Cambodia with Amy. My he...

Early Morning Missionary: Confessions: I Don't Like to Share

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2015/03/confessions-i-dont-like-to-share.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Confessions: I Don't Like to Share. My sweet little two-year-old skips up to me and offers me a lick of her lollipop, while my five-year-old opens a big bag of treats handing one piece to each child in the family. Wow, am I a super-mom or what? Oh, wait. Did my children share this prolifically before we moved to the village? There's a cow in my yard right now, and it is eating the tree I planted not long ago. I really don't like to share. You see, I fi...

Early Morning Missionary: Part Two: The Fingernail Marks

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2014/01/part-2-first-depression.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Tuesday, January 21, 2014. Part Two: The Fingernail Marks. We moved to beautiful Chiang Mai, Thailand when I was eight months pregnant with our second child (yes - conceived while on birth control! We had the usual stress and strain of culture shock; I just thought I had it worse than most people. I have a distinct memory of putting Maggie to bed then curling up in the fetal position at the end of her bed sobbing and praying that somehow Chris would know to come home. Our sweet ...

Early Morning Missionary: My Little Secret - Introduction

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2014/01/my-little-secret-introduction.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Sunday, January 19, 2014. My Little Secret - Introduction. I have been reading Richard Foster's amazing book, Celebration of Discipline. As a good friend once told me, "Eat the meat and spit out the bones" with any book, but, my, this book has so much meat! The chapter I just read speaks about our desire to create and maintain a good reputation for ourselves. Being a "go against the flow kind" kind of girl, I truly thought I did not struggle in this area of life. Because I am mo...

Early Morning Missionary: Make-up vs. War Paint

http://earlymorningmissionary.blogspot.com/2012/02/make-up-vs-war-paint.html

Our Facebook Prayer Page. Monday, February 20, 2012. Make-up vs. War Paint. Being the good Alabama girl that I was, I used to put on loads of make-up before ever letting anyone even get a glimpse of my face in the morning. Blessing of blessings, a few days into our marriage my husband freed me from my make-up bondage with a casual statement about how much better I looked without it. Yea! So paint two black lines under your eyes and get your spear, have a laugh at the quote, then get back to fighting!
