"The kind of wisdom that God waits to give to those who ask him is a wisdom that will bind us to himself, a wisdom that will find expression in a spirit of faith and a life of faithfulness."  
~J.I Packer, "Knowing God"


Our home here at SITAG commands incredible views of both sunset and sunrise.  I'm grateful for whoever had the foresight to build on this ridge, away from the valley with its mosquitos, and with refreshing breezes.  Somehow, the beginning and ending of the day with the fiery colors always points my heart back to the Creator and His infinite wisdom.

"Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding...Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace.  She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed."  Proverbs 3:13, 17, 18


We are definitely needing wisdom right now!  In addition to the transition of switching countries and cultures while leaving one-third of our family behind, we've bumped up against some unforeseen...shall we say opportunities?  

We had renters lined up for our home in America, but they have backed out.  If you know of anybody who needs a little house full of character in central Arkansas for the next two years, let us know! 

Shipping to our language area has ground to a halt.  Aaron bumped into a lady from the Russells this morning while he was in town, and she said the only way to get to our village was to take a motor canoe.  Expensive and tiny, the canoe ride across the ocean also depends heavily on the weather (we've had adventures!).

So we're asking the Lord to help us lively daily in faithfulness and wisdom, and He's giving us many opportunities to grow in those areas.
