.: GAPS Diet 3-years anniversary
http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2014/07/gaps-diet-3-years-anniversary.html
Friday, July 18, 2014. GAPS Diet 3-years anniversary. It's hard for me to believe James has been grain-free for three years! Most of the first two years were in Congo. People here in the US often wonder, "How could you do such a limited diet in rural Africa? When I first entered my trusty old friend of a grocery store to realize there were maybe 3 items edible for James - it almost made me panic. I had been looking forward to clean long aisles full of food options, (pushing a shopping cart! To their enor...

.: A Heavy Load
http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-heavy-load.html
Saturday, September 1, 2012. I tread slippery bumps up the muddy hill. Dogding piles of washed up garbage. The road is messy, muddy and slick. I feel ready to fall at any moment. But I enjoy the crisp morning air and bright sunshine. A woman ahead of me struggles under a heavy load. Many gallons of water for her family weigh her down. She bears them on her back. And cloth wrapped around her forehead to hold it. She grunts, bent over under the heavy load. I pass her easily, without that burden. Anna: "pwe...

http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 29, 2013. We have been on the move for about 9 months now, and the waters are beginning to recede. We can see the grassy knoll up ahead. He has carried us and made our path into flat, dry ground that is easy to walk on. I didn't have much time for filling you all in here, but thankfully got to see so many and 'do coffee' to talk about all God has been doing in us and in you since we last met. It is good. That Kim's dream of working with Congolese refugee women here in Dallas will start t...

http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2014/09/back-to-school-2014.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2014. Back to School 2014. James, Joel and Anna are heading back to school and growing up entirely too fast for my taste! Anna is becoming quite the chapter book reader and can't wait to start cursive and multiplication. Joel is honing his writing skills and still loves drawing dragons in his free time. James is learning about organizing several different subjects and teachers into one 3-ring binder. Joel turned 10 this summer and for a week was as tall as his older brother!

.: Cultural Indications
http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2014/07/cultural-indications.html
Monday, July 7, 2014. A year ago this week, we were piling our worldly possessions into a moving truck to cross 5 states and move to Texas. We had no idea what Texas was like, but we knew we were moving there. We didn't know any Texans, but we knew we could meet some. For years we have moved. Migrants. Nomads. Seventeen times in fifteen years. You'd think we would get better at it! But He goes before us. And made us to walk across on dry ground! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Day 7 Critters: Spiders.

.: The Advice of an MK (Missionary Kid)
http://tenfootfamily.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-advice-of-mk-missionary-kid.html
Wednesday, March 5, 2014. The Advice of an MK (Missionary Kid). We had the privilege to get to know another family just as they were heading out. Opposite direction. It was wonderful to be able to share a love of Africa and her gorgeous people with someone who just understood. As part of a writing assignment James decided to give advice to his new friend soon leaving for the motherland. I found some of his advice profound:. From One African MK to Another. By James, the African. Play in the dirt. E xodus ...
