The holidays always bring mixed emotions for me. On one hand, there is a newness and excitement that comes with the first snowfall, houses glistening with Christmas lights, and beautiful music only played one month out of the year.
However, as I grow older, some of the magic of Christmas seems lost. My wonderful family was torn apart by divorce – and their decisions continue to tear at my heart. Instead of looking forward to spending time with my entire family, I dread it. On other occasions, I am overwhelmed by a deep sense of being alone. Sometimes it seems like the holidays bring more heartache and headaches than happiness. And deep down in my heart, I am sad because I know things weren’t meant to be this way.
Recently, one night when I was feeling especially alone and discouraged, God spoke to my heart. He didn’t say a lot, just one word. And that word has made all the difference.
“Immanuel.”
“God with us.”
Have you ever stopped to think what Immanuel means to YOU? God is with you. Here. Now. You don’t have to be afraid, alone, or anxious. God is WITH you.
The word “Immanuel” is best known for its part in the Christmas Story. An Old Testament prophecy is fulfilled when Matthew describes the birth of Jesus, “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel – which means, ‘God with us.’” Jesus left everything beautiful and glorious to be with us. We are no longer alone. Immanuel is used other times to encourage the people of Israel not to fear when surrounding nations threatened to annihilate their cities. Psalm 46 begins with the words, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea.” The author goes on to say how wherever God’s presence is, life comes flowing out. Finally, the psalm concludes with a command and a promise, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”
Immanuel.
Jesus is here.
The situations I encounter won’t be any different this Christmas. My family is the same. My relationships are the same. My feelings are the same. But God has made the story of Jesus come alive to me in a completely new way. He is here with me. I am not alone.
Here is my challenge to you. As you go through this holiday season, look for ways that Jesus shows he is with you. Sometimes its big things, but other times he reveals himself in small ways we usually overlook. Look for opportunities to share a story of how God has been with you. Instead of focusing on the busyness, the shopping, or even the feelings of loss and loneliness, stop. Be still and know that the Almighty God is with YOU. He is Immanuel.

Walking with God
“The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times.” - Oswald Chambers
“Enoch walked with God.” - Genesis 5:24
“They will walk and not be faint.” - Isaiah 40:31
Ten thousand steps. If you are a healthy, physically fit individual, you will walk an average of ten thousand steps each day. This year, we were each given a pedometer at work to count our steps. I never realized before how much I depend on walking to move from one place to another. From my bed to the bathroom in the morning is ten steps. At work, I take between three thousand and five thousand steps each day!
Walking is a huge part of everyday life for most people. Its so normal, we rarely even think about it. Sure, athletes run, children skip, and teenagers find more reasons to drive than we thought possible. But, if you lose your ability to walk, you would probably have to alter your entire lifestyle.
I never realized the Bible makes so many references to walking – and I’m not talking about a literal mode of transportation. One of the most common phrases about walking is to “walk with God.”
What does walking with God look like? It is a faithfulness, a steadfastness, a continuous choice to follow God and to live to please him. It is a decision to obey God in the ordinary times of life. When He seems silent, you still follow. When people disappoint or frustrate you, you still follow. Walking with God is a deliberate choice in the mountains, the valleys, and the mundane to let God form you into the person He created you to be.
I think walking with God can be one of the most difficult parts of our relationship with him. It is so normal, its easy to lose sight of God and get caught up in the discouragement, busyness, or apathy so prevalent today. We can get comfortable in our lives and depend on our own strength to get us through the day.
In his book, “My Utmost for His Highest,” Oswald Chambers challenges us to live for God in the ordinary things. He says, “Walking on the water is easy to impulsive pluck, but walking on dry land as a disciple of Jesus Christ is a different thing…We do not need the grace of God to stand crises, human nature and pride are sufficient, we can face the strain magnificently; but it does require the supernatural grace of God to live twenty-four hours in every day as a saint, to go through drudgery as a disciple, to live an ordinary, unobserved, ignored existence as a disciple of Jesus…We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people.”
God has been teaching me over and over again to walk with him daily. Each day, I have the choice to be obedient and live for him, or to do things my own way. Below are some verses from scripture, as well as quotes from Oswald Chambers I have been reading in his book, “My Utmost for His Highest” that have spoken to me regarding what it means to walk with God.
“…Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and let them up a high mountain, where they were all alone.” - Mark 9:2
“We are not built for the mountains…we are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.” - Oswald Chambers
“We have seen what we are not, and what God wants us to be, but are we willing to have the vision batter’d to shape and used by God? The batterings always come in commonplace ways and through commonplace people.” - Oswald Chambers
Ask God to help you walk with him each day. Even when life is usual. Even when He seems silent. Ask Him to give you the grace to be “exceptional in the ordinary.”

“They will walk and not be faint.” - Isaiah 40:31

Still Missing You.
goodbye dana,
i miss poking my head into your room
talking to you about your family
sharing ideas for cool lessons
and making copies for you
i miss eating at china go and chipotle
looking at each other
when we don't know what everyone else is talking about
and walking to staff meetings together
i miss having someone to look after me
or someone to talk about life with
and having you listen to me
or just knowing you're grading papers too, right next door
its good to know i'll see you again
but its going to be a long wait
and it hurts so bad to think of all the things
we had hoped to do together
i don't understand why
God took you away so soon
or so suddenly
but i know he loves us
so let's rest in His unfailing arms
whether at home with Him
or here on earth
because He is near
but,
i still miss talking about Jesus
and your encouragement
and your smile
and your friendship
i guess i just miss you.
dear dana,
its hard to believe it has been a year since we were last together. it is still painful to think of what might have been, or how hard this past year has been for your family and friends. we miss you dearly, and i can't count the number of times i've cried because i wish you were still here. but God is good. he has given us the grace to make it through one year without you, and he will continue to give us comfort and hope when we need it most.
i miss you so much. today, i was thinking about colossians 3 - the chapter God put on both of our hearts just before your accident. "When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." i'm looking forward to the time when we both will be with Jesus in all his glory, because HE is our life.

Love is...
What is love?
We write countless songs about it.
What is love?
We say we love our hobbies...fishing, reading, playing a sport, singing.
What is love?
We say we love our friends and families.
What is love?
I thought I knew what love was. I thought I did a pretty good job of loving others. In my mission statement, I said that I am created to love God and to love others. But what does that really mean? What does that look like in every day life?
Nothing has taught me more about love than teaching. When I first started the education program in college, I was required to write a "Why I Want To Teach" paper. In that paper I said that I wanted to teach because I love God, and therefore I want to express that love to others - especially kids.
I loved children because I thought they were lovable.
It didn't take long in my first year of teaching to realize a serious flaw in my thinking. Children are NOT lovable. Oh, if you spend an hour or two with them, they are cute and funny, and you think they are lovable. But spend an extended amount of time with them and you will find something totally different. They try your patience. They are self-centered. They are rude. They are ungrateful. They argue. They are disobedient, lazy, and the list goes on.
And while I tried my hardest to love these little obnoxious, squirrelly kids, I just couldn't do it. They weren't lovable.
But I've come to realize something that I've always known...yet never really let sink in to my heart. NOBODY is lovable. Not in the terms of behaving in a way that deserves love. We ALL are self-centered, rude, ungrateful, argumentative, lazy, etc.
But God loves us. Even though we are unlovable. Romans 5:8 says, "But God demonstrated his own love for us in this, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Wow. We are completely undeserving of God's love, but he pours it out on us anyway. Even to the point of dying for us.
As I started this school year, God put 1 Corinthians 13 on my heart. "Love is patient. Love is kind." Love isn't meant to be used like money - lavished on those we like and withheld from those we don't. It is to be given freely to all. Especially the ones who try your patience. Especially to the ones it is difficult to be kind to. I want to speak love to everyone - not only through my words, but also through my actions. I want to love others the way God loves me - not because I am lovable, but because love is meant to be given to all.
When you encounter people this year, don't expect them to be lovable - because they're not. But make a decision to love them, regardless of how they act or make you feel. Remember what Jesus did for you. Memorize 1 Corinthians 13 and ask God to make you into a person who doesn't withhold love from anyone, but gives freely to all.

The Perfect Date
What is your idea of a perfect date? Long walks on moonlit beaches, April 24 because "its not too hot, its not too cold, all you need is a light jacket"?
Lately, I've found myself caught up in the "to-do" lists of my busy schedule. I move from one appointment to the next. And while I make time for my job, friends, family, and myself, I've left out one important person.
So, yesterday I decided to make a change. I went on a date. While we've spent time together in "group" activities, I've made little effort to spend a lot of one-on-one time with him. We didn't do anything elaborate, we just sat down on a dock at my favorite park and enjoyed each other's company. That's probably what I'd consider the perfect date.
We didn't spend a lot of time talking about frivolous things. He wanted me to share from my heart. I told him about the things that we worrying me, the things I was anxious about, the things that just made me sad. I told him that sometimes I felt like he wasn't taking care of me, protecting me, making me happy. I told him that sometimes I felt really lonely.
But then I stopped and listened to him. And he was honest with me. He didn't tell me I was silly or stupid or stubborn. He just reminded me about himself:
"The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made."
"The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made."
"The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them."
"The Lord watches over all who love him."
"This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel says: In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength...Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!"
"Therefore we do not lose heart...For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes, not on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
"Why do you say, O Jacob, and complain, O Israel, 'My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God'? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. The will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Have you had a date with Jesus lately? Have you been too busy to spend time just listening to him? We slot activities, people, and tasks into our schedules, but rarely set aside time with the one person who always speaks the truth, who is the God of all comfort, and who can truly satisfy the desires of your heart.
Get away. Go to your favorite place and spend time with him every day. Enjoy your perfect date.

Thailand
Well, I am going to Thailand. Hopefully.
From July 10-25 I will be traveling to Thailand with 11 other WONDERFUL adults and high school students. During this time we will be working with students at an international school leading a sports camp for children in the area and visiting an AIDS orphanage. We will also be staying in a Lahu village and working with missionaries at a seminary there. Building a wall around the seminary complex will be one of our projects.
Satan has already been working really hard to discourage me from going on this trip. From the beginning, I've had a difficult time with my passport. I lost my passport from my Europe trip three years ago. So, I applied for a new passport. Now, I am $90 poorer, and I still don't have my new passport. No one can explain why it is taking so long for my passport to be processed, and the chances of me getting it before the team leaves Tuesday morning are slim to none. This has been terribly discouraging for me, but I can only trust that God is using this in his plan for our team, and I hope that I can bring him glory through this situation.
***Update******************************************
My passport was shipped to Chicago this afternoon. I should be picking it up in the airport during my 9:05 a.m.-12:45 layover.
Please pray that the airlines will accept my letter from Sam Brownback explaining why I don't have my passport at the Wichita airport and let me on the plane Tuesday morning at 5:30 (This flight is considered an international flight and they rarely let people on w/o a passport). Also pray that I will be able to get my passport and board my flight to Thailand during my layover in Chicago.
Thanks!!!
****************************************************
Please pray for our team!
- Pray for our ministry there - that our eyes would be open to see where God is working and that we would be willling to join with him in that work.
- Pray that our actions and words would reflect Jesus at all times.
- Pray for wisdom - especially for the adults as we have to make decisions in a culture that is very different from our own.
- Pray that God would change us - through our experiences and through his Word.
- Pray that we would recognize Satan's attacks for what they are and for the strength to be able to stand firm and resist him.
If you would like to email me, please send emails to this address with my name in the subject line: lrry_frnd@yahoo.com. You can also check our website for pictures and daily updates: wefcmissions.org. I would GREATLY appreciate your prayer and emails!!!

monkey see, monkey do
So, this February I got my cartilage pierced. I'd been wanting to do it for a long time (probably 4 years), and I'd finally forgotten all the reasons why I DIDN'T get it pierced before. (Just so you know, I love it!) Anyways, it didn't take my kids long to notice. For about a week I had to answer all kinds of questions, "Did it hurt?" "Why did you do that?" etc. Well, today I noticed one of the girls in my 3rd hour had taken a plastic ring from her agenda binding and "pierced" her cartilage too. Hmmm...don't know how I should feel about that one...or what her parents will do if they see her new "piercing." Just a funny reminder of what kind of an impact we can have on the lives & decisions of others!
