I’d like to take a moment in the middle of the mess To document how I feel, what I’m missing in the stress After three weeks in Burma off the plane straight to hospitals, doctors out & in I need to pause and recognise that I can’t wait for normal to begin I’m just looking […]
Last night (sunday night) I was a bit at the end of myself, sat basically in a carpark in the ridiculous heat with little Lion crying and irritable next to me. Everything got a bit much, I couldn’t analyse myself so I asked my husband to tell me how I was feeling-a dangerous thing to […]
In southern chin state when a step parent gets involved they almost always don’t want the partners children from a previous marriage. Sometimes they try to kill them. Therefore they run away or are taken by someone to an orphanage. Orphanges often care the best they can. They have a lot of children to care […]
Explaining why I’m in Burma so you have context for my rambling thoughts! I’m currently in Kalay, Myanmar (Burma) visiting homes that we have supported for years. Last trip it felt fun as we just played & enjoyed the children. This time we have linked with a larger charity & I feel like we have […]
Waiting in the airport lobby. We suddenly hear huge loud rain. Though as most places here have tin roofs it didn’t worry me much as rain sounds louder everywhere. ‘It’ll probably be fine, doesn’t look like too much rain’ I told Lawrence. Just then, more rain fell, even harder and wind swept fast and crazy […]
Tonight/early hours of tomorrow I am heading with my little family (Husband and two yr old) to Myanmar (Burma). I have sat down for two minutes as we are packed (after the classic arguing and case shuffling). My heads been going a tad crazy the last couple weeks as it kept thinking of extras. Like […]
Fear is often seen as this glaringly obvious emotion. Haloween, horror films, dark forrests.. Yet I’ve found fear to be a sneaky quiet dark weasel that can creep in. As he does, he pushes out faith & peace. Three years ago I fell down a flight of stairs & slipped three disks in my […]
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the night I feel to turn off the tv, get off the sofa, get over myself, give my moping-illness-sadness-self-indulgence to my Jesus. Instead to turn on a podcast, eat the word of God, physically clean up my house & internally clean up my act.. I find my bible […]
Watching super nanny type show tonight ‘3day nanny’ and enjoyed seeing a lady help a family who were struggling. Obviously also trying to gleam some tips for my Lion who will be two in two weeks (whaaat!?) and I, like most honest parents, am guessing my way through! Something she said in the show hit […]
I have just written a letter to my baby. Of course he can’t read it today but it is for when he is older. I wrote one last year & will write one each year for him. Inside is full and personal, my hopes for him & mainly just my unconditional love of him. How […]
