Life Worth Living: September 2014
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Christ Shall Be Magnified. We just hugged our treasures goodbye 12 days ago, as they flew away for another season of loving and serving the very dear people in the Democratic Republic of Congo. How could I hold anything back? My thoughts turn back to a letter Chantée wrote to her sister from the DRC in January of this year, as she was recovering from malaria while pregnant with Hudson. During her convalescence she read the book When God Writes Your Life Story. An eager and (...

Monday, June 2, 2014. Too Late: Just One Instant. I was just scrolling through a journal and ran across these words I wrote on the eve after this story took place three years ago. I had forgotten I had written it. I'm posting it as I found it in the hopes that it will speak to someone as it did to me. Fair warning, it's not a happy tale. Oh please.”. One second too late might as well be a thousand. the outcome is no different. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to our blog! Scroll down to follow, or sub...

Life Worth Living: Heavenly Irony
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2014/03/heavenly-irony.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. I slip into my sleeping bag camped out on living room floor, Friday night tradition for longer than I’ve lived. One by one the candles are snuffed out, the evergreen lights on the purlins are unplugged. Room goes dark, last goodnights and love you’s are said. I crave reading my Bible. Just for a little bit. I roll onto my tummy, pull trusty iPhone out with lumens down and read for a moment, picking up where I stopped at noon. 2 Cor 8:1-2 NASB. My eyes lock in on the words. It is ...

Life Worth Living: Praise and Prayer to the Life Giver--
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2014/05/praise-and-prayer-to-life-giver.html
Sunday, May 11, 2014. Praise and Prayer to the Life Giver-. I came upon this touching scene of our firstborn child- now a mother- seeking to pass on to her firstborn precious lessons learned long ago. 8220;showing to the generations to come the praises of the Lord, and His strength and His wonderful works that He hath done.That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born. Whether their babe lived or succumbed to the life threat of his mother’s malaria, they knew t...

Life Worth Living: The New Normal: Old Truth I Love
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2014/01/the-new-normal-old-truth-i-love.html
Thursday, January 30, 2014. The New Normal: Old Truth I Love. I awaken as the car turns into the driveway. Look, tired but eager, for that beloved little log cabin to appear as we crest the hill. We stop, and I thank Dad for driving us while we slept. We step out under the stars. Unclouded sky, constellations shining. I gaze at Orion, from this home to that Home someday. I stop to look at the package on the island in the kitchen. Just a random package, but the word Love. No not really. This introvert...

Life Worth Living: April 2015
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 30, 2015. Sound of a Sword. Days short of flying (literally) into another nearly nonstop spring/summer of hacking away at darkness near and far, I’m moved by this—. I can think of only two men in history (though I doubt not there are many who simply haven’t come to mind) who fought from within…. One wrapped terrible arms around the pillars that kept roof overhead, and pulled the temple down on the heads of his enemies. And fell with them. There’s another way. Lord Glorious, make us holy.

Life Worth Living: Dedicated to God
http://www.thenebblettfamily.com/2014/07/dedicated-to-god.html
Saturday, July 26, 2014. Four weeks ago today we experienced the joy of dedicating our precious babe, Hudson Elijah Fisher, to the Lord. And we enjoyed the privilege of having his great Uncle Helton - missionary to Africa, perform the dedication service, during his yearly visit stateside. Hudson Elijah - two names that immediately remind us of two callings. Hudson, a great missionary to China and Elijah, a great prophet who spoke for God. Both had their origin in the gift of life = a gift from God. Hudso...
