“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” Lamentations 3:21-23 This home dances with the melody of sewing needles bending in and out of dyed fabrics, scissors laid across patterned threads snipping in their proportioned measure. There are hands forming and shaping these articles into something beautiful, memoirs of their redeemed significance. From dust and ashes women of beauty rise, sewing clothing to cover a body that once only...

Proverbs 3:5-6  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight.” All my life I have heard this verse and fully believed that I was trusting in the Lord with all my heart.

”I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called ‘Not my loved one.’ I will say to those called ‘Not my people,’ ‘You are my people’; and they will say, ‘You are my God.'”Hosea 2:23 Along dirt crusted roads we traveled weaving between the busy Nepali people eagerly waiting to know our assignments for the day. Upon arrival to our host’s home we gathered along brightly colored floral mattresses. The children greeted us with giggles and hugs as we sat down. After a few silly icebreaker games and...
