Spring is on it's way to North Caorlina!

God made the world such an amazing and beautiful place.

When you stand back and get to look at it it's like this bag all different and varied but lovingly stitched together to make a beautiful pitcher.

Can you imagine what Heaven will look like when all people are doing what they have been designed to do!

Amin!

I get to live in two different worlds, and both are exotic and beautiful. New years day last year and this year.

I don't think I've seen snow since 2005, and then it wasn't enough to play in. And I'm not sure how many people around here remember ever having a white Christmas but we've got it!

I've had time to spend sewing. The little kids in my family got sheep, cats, and lions for Christmas. Pam, the little dress on the Asian doll has squirrels, raccoons, and opossums on it! I had to make that dress! And if you like the people hanging on the tree, my friends make them. You can see these and other neat products made world wide at www.wmustore.com/wcproducts.asp?NAV=28&wccountry=Indonesia The profits from all these hand made items help support families and important work all over the world.

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

I'm thankful to be in America over the holidays. This is what America has looked like over the past month...

I live on "the island of a thousand Mosques" but I think there are a thousand churches here.

Family old and new...
Great food!

Meeting old and new friends and getting to speak at many different places, which has been a huge blessing! I love that!





More southern cooking!

Cool weather, Disney princes,

and more great food! I am thankful to be here but so thankful to live where I do and to have the privilege of doing the job I do. So many of you make that possible and I want to thank you too!
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Leni still needs to eat more protein and vegetables but she is growing, walking, and growing up. She's making "calls" with her mom's cell phone as she visits her little neighbour.

A lot of people have asked me what my house looks like. This is NOT my house. This is a house in a traditional village. People do still live in houses like this but my house is a good bit more modern. Come on, I'll show you. :o) My front room where guest sit.

My guest room, with room for you to come and stay. But you would hear the Mosque at 5:30am.

My front yard. I'm safe here, when I say I have really close and really nosy neighbours, I'm not teasing.

My upper class sit down pottie and toilet paper box that I got for my birthday. It holds 8 rolls!

The roof on the right is mine, the left is the boarding house the tin in the center is where the old lady that gets upset if I don't tell her where I'm going lives.


My kitchen.

And my living room where the kids play when they come over. So now you've seen most of my house. My room is normally messy and a bit hard to get a good photo of and I didn't take a photo of my junk room which is where I dry my laundry most of the time. :O)
