Fourth of July (aka Not Independence Day)


We decided that celebrating America's birthday as expats was worth a splurge.  So, for the first time ever, I bought frozen strawberries in the Solomon Islands to make one of my favorite desserts.


The Americans in our SITAG family gathered on July 4th to enjoy food and fellowship and fire-swinging, but we daily celebrate our dependence on each other and on the Lord.


"I was carefully designed by the Creator to live in a dependent, obedient, and worshipful relationship with Him and in humble interdependent relationships with other human beings....The pursuit of independence always leaves me addicited to a list of things that I've look to for hope, life, strength, and rest."  ~Paul Tripp
