The Journey Home: August 2011
http://thejourneyhome-todds.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 25, 2011. A Letter to My Son. Today is your 5th birthday! It is hard to believe that 5 years ago I did not even know you existed. I wasn't there to hold you or to hear your first cry, but you were in my heart long before you came to live with me. I prayed everyday for your arrival not knowing where you were. I prayed for your safety and longed for the day that I would hold you in my arms. 5 years ago there was another women who held you. I won't pretend to know her heart at that time...

thru my Songlasses: July 2011
http://mysonglasses.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 26, 2011. This continued to roll through my head over and over again as I sat in the Santo Domingo airport last Tuesday morning waiting to board my plane back to the US. Funny thing is, I wasn't sure what it meant. I hadn't remembered hearing it at all during the week or while waiting in the airport; so I asked a friend of mine. It means, "Help me! Are you trying to tell me something? God does work in mysterious ways.so I took the hint. I'm not fixed, but I am forever changed. They who desi...

Day 22 – Reflections on the past | Tigpan's thots
https://tigpan.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/day-22-reflections-on-the-past
Day 22 – Reflections on the past. Asymp; Leave a comment. 7 years ago today….I wrote this poem. Interesting how cyclical our lives can be….and how the struggle of the past can comfort in the present. Different struggles, different part of the journey, same faithful God. Pain finds its way in;. Worry pushes and hammers at the door;. Faithfulness quiets the noise. Strength comes in the shelter of the Rock. Sadness comes in waves, threatening to drown,. ONE quiet whisper, BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

Asymp; 5 Comments. I pray – a lot. It is the thing that keeps me going during the day, the way I can care for and serve my friends in the most effective and powerful way, and most importantly it changes things. I wrote about what I pray for when I pray here. But recently I was asked by a friend how I remember to pray….so here is my secret. 2×2 sticky notes all around me. On my computer monitor. On my bathroom mirror. Just 2×2 sticky notes. Each with a first name, or two or five. I am the prostitute.

I am the prostitute | Tigpan's thots
https://tigpan.wordpress.com/2013/08/11/i-am-the-prostitute
I am the prostitute. Asymp; Leave a comment. It’s been a while. 365 was a great challenge to myself…but after the post on Drowning. I realized I had just added another “thing” in my life that I was so desperately trying to simplify. So I will issue another 365 challenge one day…and it will be awesome! But for now…I’ll just write as it comes. Here is what I am most in awe of about this story. This story is not about the prostitute. He gathers me up and says to me over and over – You are MINE! Fill in your...

When I say I pray for you… | Tigpan's thots
https://tigpan.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/when-i-say-i-pray-for-you
When I say I pray for you…. Asymp; 2 Comments. I’ll admit it – I used to be. Friend. You know the one you tell your troubles to, and then would promise to pray for you, but as soon as you were out of sight or at least by the end of the day all good intentions of praying for you were quickly forgotten in the “busyness” of life. The woman prayed about everything! In that year I spent more time praying than I had in most of my missionary kid life! Whether you believe in God, or not…. I pray that lies that t...

Day 25 – Paper writing. Asymp; Leave a comment. After a ridiculous hiatus due to life happenings and random excuses that shouldn’t be – I’m back concentrating on my grad school work! As I often say – the beauty and blessing of an adult learning program is the flexibility it allows. However, the curse of an adult learning program is the flexibility it allows. There is much more to be written here – but I’ve been writing all day. I’m out folks….night! Larr; Previous post. Next post →. His Voice for Sudan.

Day 27 – Drowning. Asymp; 5 Comments. This morning I realized that once again the biggest part of the battle was with the pride of admitting to weakness. So today I’m hitting publish. Tonight as I sit here and try to put words on this page I am simply overwhelmed. Today a friend told me that she enjoyed reading my posts because they encouraged her and she loved my “God loving self”. Dear friend, (I know you are reading this) I needed those words. My friend is sick and I am scared. Every part of my life f...

Day 24 – I fell asleep. Asymp; Leave a comment. I feel asleep at 7:30 pm – it has been a long week what can I say – then back awake just long enough to get ready and fall into bed. So Day 24….just didn’t happen. Larr; Previous post. Next post →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.
