No Decaf Jesus, please, and Baby pics!

First things first — new baby pics are on the baby page — I know that’s what most of you are interested in, anyway: www.jessiestill.wordpress.com/the-baby/ Click on that and enjoy. 

I’m working on another post… but for now I’ll share this one that I really enjoyed about knowing Jesus for REAL and not settling for the cheap version that gets easier and easier to find…. enjoy: http://www.luke18project.com/Publisher/Article.aspx?id=1000032126

God is good.  No matter what. 

 

On Being a Dad

So, Chloe turned 2 yesterday.

2 weeks old, that is.

I’ve always heard people say that they “learned sooo much about God as Father” through having children.  I’ve already had people ask me if there have been any great revelations. . . .

Well, the answer is : No.  At least I don’t think so.   Perhaps in a few months or years I will have something profound to share.  For now, I’m just still a little overwhelmed, and my mind is blown (not to mention being a little sleep-deprived ).  I look at that little life, that precious treasure, and it still doesn’t seem to compute that it is MY CHILD I’m looking at!!!  I don’t think God has that problem when He looks at us.  He knows we are His, and He loves us so much — and nothing could ever convince Him otherwise!

If you’re interested, you can find some pics of the first two weeks on the baby page: www.jessiestill.wordpress.com/the-baby/

love!

 

Chloe is here!

It’s hard to believe we are parents!  We are SOOOO excited!

My blog stats tell me

.. that there are several of you who check “The Baby” page obsessively.  So, FYI, I updated it with a new post.  Enjoy! )  http://jessiestill.wordpress.com/the-baby/

 

Quick Reality Check. . .

Just read this from Alpha Relief…

February 29, 2008.  “Looking across the table into the tired but smiling face of the young North Korean, the realization suddenly hit me; our lives could very well have been exchanged.  God has instead chosen my environment to be one of comfort and luxury while a much more difficult path was marked out for my brother on the other side of the world.”  Check out this moving story: http://alpharelief.wordpress.com/2008/02/28/jeongs-story/. 

 

Baby update – with pictures!

Yep, go to the baby page to see it – or click here: http://jessiestill.wordpress.com/the-baby/

Enjoy!  Only a little over two months to go!!!!!

 

pray for North Korea!

I’ve posted on this before, but Open Doors just released this:

North Korea remains in the number one spot on the World Watch List as a persecutor of Christians for the sixth year in a row. There is no other country in the world where Christians are being persecuted with such intense hostility and oppression.

The World Watch List ranks countries according to the intensity of persecution Christians face for actively pursuing their faith. The compiled list is based on the answers to 50 questions covering various aspects of religious freedom from Open Doors’ indigenous contacts, field workers and persecuted believers. Read More

And again, I invite you to give to ministries that help with this, like Alpha Relief.  If you can’t give, PRAY!  If you can give, give, and PRAY!
