Shhh... Be Still, and Know Your God



It's a Go, Go, Go! world.  I've not been very still lately.  In fact it seems I've been running here and there and everywhere.  Sometimes the running is not of my design, sometimes it is.  But with all the flitting from here to yon, it's hard to concentrate, it's hard to listen, it's hard to hear.  It's hard to hear the still, small voice of God.  We run and run and run and end up with no time at all for the important part of each day - communing with our God and Maker.

I'm so tired of running and getting nothing accomplished.  You know what I think the best part of eternity in Heaven will be?  We'll have all the time in the world, no deadlines, no curfews, no darkness and no concerns but that of singing the praises of God Almighty each and every moment.

If I could just take my last scrapbook, maybe I could finally get it done!

                                                                 






Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Psalm 4:4


Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10

Everything New

I'm reading a book for old missionaries about all the crazy things people go through in returning from their field of service to spend time in their home country.  One of the chapters is all about how tough it is to "go home."  Things change and the missionary ends up out of sync with what's new since their last "home" visit. "Coming home" this time has been smooth in some ways and a little crazy in others.  Byron and I haven't had a real furlough for six years.  On one hand our recent short visits pathed the way for an easier transition.   But staying for a longer this time around means we don't have to feel as rushed to go and do and see, even though we are always reminded of that the pages of the calendar are passing by. Keeping in touch with our friends in Brazil is uniquely easy nowadays allowing us the privilege of almost instant contact, real time decision making and even seeing regular photos of my cat.  We can send money quickly an...

My Promise Verse

Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take:  when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. This verse has been a favorite of mine since I was a teenager. When I was a high school senior at a Christian school in Virginia, Job 23:10 was chosen as our class theme verse. At our graduation commencement, the valedictorian and saludatorian in their addresses that day divided the verse in its two natural parts as a basis for the core of each one's address. I was the salutatorian of my senior class that year.  I chose to speak of how God would one day reward our faithfulness and thus, we should always strive to remain true. For many years though, the first part of the verse haunted me in a way. As a missionary especially when times were lonely or difficult, I assumed it was my "trial" or "test," and as such must be accepted in all humility. As I have grown older, I have begun to look more toward the pearly gates and have reconsidered the thr...

Core Memories: Furlough 2018

  I happened upon an archive of old home video from our furlough in 2018 while transferring items to a new laptop.  Oh, what fun to watch!  Decided to put them in a little video collage.  Making important memories while in the USA with our grands is important!  It takes a little effort and a little intent.   Enjoy! In memory of Papa Potter
