The other side of the world.....

Katya wrote an essay yesterday that was quite long in English class and had the highest score. She is in an English class for student's new to English, but the teacher pushes them hard and they are doing well. She is doing well.

Anyway, I read it and there was a phrase in it that caught my eye....she checks her e-mail to check up on the other side of the world. I was listening to Rich Mullins yesterday and he has a song by the same title.

....but I have seen a people who've learned to walk in faith with mercy in their hearts and glory on their faces and I can see the people and I hope it won't be long until your kingdom comes. I put it in the video bar below.

Andre threw up from the visit to the dentist just seconds after asking for a bay (yeah!). And was fine the rest of the day, so I think it was the flouride. We had a good family day yesterday and are preparing for our homeschool conference this weekend. We are grateful for each good day. One daughter has been asking me every day if she is doing good without sassing! Her heart has really softened, and it is just a joy.....

May the peace of God that passes all understaning gaurd your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus today....

Love Alesia & Chris

Pray for those who persecute you....

Matt 5:11 "Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven...."

Matt 5:44" But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of the Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.


Psalm 46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear.....

Phil 4:5-9 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.


2nd Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

We adopted 4 older siblings from Ukraine in 2010 and hope we can help.

We will share what we learn and help you when we can. There are great supports here on this page. Sometimes it's one day, moment and breath at a time. And you're not alone. Love, Alesia & Chris
