This post is rantings of a "now" stay at home mother of  5 children. Every time we move I miss where we have been and the people that have touched our lives.  I hope we can stay put if it is in US, but I still would love to move to India, Africa, or China to serve in missions. I do wish my health were better, it lets me down all the time.  I know that I will not have a heart defect in heaven.  I will be able to run and breath, I will be able to walk and breathe, and who knows maybe I will fly and breathe.  Some times I just want to take a long walk without the risk of not being able to make it home on my own.  When it hits my legs won't work, I become dizzy, and of course I have to be able to breathe to walk home.  And they say we have to wait until it is worse to fix it.  I want to scream could you live like an 80 year in the mind of 42 year old.   I am always so restless, never content with just being.  I read and then I want to travel and do. I want to move some where affordable so I can travel abroad atleast once or twice a year.  I guess ignorance would be bliss, but now I know what it is like and I want to go and do something.  Children are dying everyday from hunger and here I sit, people are  dying without the Gospel and here I sit,  there is work to be done and here I sit......Some people believe that if they have not heard the gospel and that they can still going to heaven without knowing Jesus as savior.  It breaks my heart, I know that without a savior each of deserve hell and the only way to be clean in God's eyes is with the blood of Jesus.

Romans 3:9-11

No One Is Righteous

 What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 1 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;  there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
 
Busy yes too busy no.  And so when I can't go I pray and when I can't be more productive I pray.

Matthew 28:18-20

English Standard Version (ESV)

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

    John 3:16

    For God So Loved the World

    16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
     
     
     Well the first month of school flew by and everyone is glad to be back in a routine.   Sneha loves her school this year and gets to swim twice a week with school.  Graedy is enjoying high school and looking forward to driving soon.  Elijah gets to take Mandarin once a week at school since they have a Chinese teacher from Xian to teach Chinese culture and some language.  Elijah also has one of the starring roles in the Christmas musical at our church.  Joy is adjusting better to family life and  learning what it is all about.  The fits are diminishing , thank goodness!  Graedy is busy with water polo, eating, sleeping, and of course school.  Elise is busy with her instruments and volley ball.

    यूहन्ना 3:16

    16 परमेश्वर को जगत से इतना प्रेम था कि उसने अपने एकमात्र पुत्र को दे दिया, ताकि हर वह आदमी जो उसमें विश्वास रखता है, नष्ट न हो जाये बल्कि उसे अनन्त जीवन मिल जाये।


     
    Well this is what we have been up to for the last few weeks.  Sneha had her teeth,cleaned,filled, and one pulled under anesthesia. She recovered nicely and we are so glad that is done.

     
    Elise is not only playing volley ball ,but playing the clarinet, flute, and now the saxophone hoping to be in Jazz band after the first of the year.


    Elise made the volley ball team and she is loving it!

    We have to be at practice at 5:30 every week day morning and his game are up by Seattle so on game nights he gets home at 11pm or later.  He loves this sport and he gets to play almost the entire jv game.  Graedy is also in pep band playing the baritone at football games.  Graedy has always liked to be busy and on the go and he definitely is.
