pray

 prier

The key to the missionary’s difficult task is also not the key of common sense, 
La réponse, au problème missionnaire, n'est pas la solution du bon sens, 
 


nor is it the key of medicine, civilization, education, or even evangelization. 
ni le secours médical, ni la civilisation ou l'éducation, ni même l'évangélisation.
 


The key is in following the Master’s orders— the key is prayer. 
La réponse, c'est la prière.
 


“Pray the Lord of the harvest . . . .” -Matt. 9:38
"Priez donc le Maître de la Moisson."


In the natural realm, prayer is not practical but absurd. 
Pour l'homme naturel, la prière n'est pas rentable, c'est une absurdité.
 


We have to realize that prayer is foolish from the commonsense point of view.
Il faut bien reconnaître en effet que du point de vue du sens commun, prier est stupide.


Our Lord calls us to no special work— He calls us to Himself. 
Le Seigneur ne nous appelle pas à une "tâche spéciale", il nous appelle à Lui.
 


“Pray the Lord of the harvest,” and He will engineer your circumstances 
to send you out as His laborer.
 "Priez donc le Maître de la Moisson" ; il dirigera lui-même les circonstances de votre vie, 
et vous enverra dans sa Moisson. 

This really taught me something this morning,
so I wanted to share it with you guys.
I hope it changes your perspective, too.
I'm so thankful for such a gracious God.

Merci mon amour !
Thank you my love !



My wonderful husband went down to buy a roasted chicken for lunch today.
He returned without a chicken, explaining the shop was closed.

"BUT look what I found," he gestured,
as he handed me this happy bouquet of beautiful gerber daisies =).


Cheery orange smiles in a vase reminding me of how much I am loved.
Jesus, thank you for my man.

DIY haircut (wavy hair)

You can find anything online, 
and I learned how to trim my hair (with layers) - ha !
Way cheaper than a salon - cost me 5 minutes and 0 €.


BEFORE
 dry hair before look


 wet hair before look


ponytail in front of head


slide elastic to desired length - I took off about 2 inches
{be careful here, because your front layers will be most dramatically affected}


cut !


ahhhhh !


wet hair after look


 AFTER

dry hair after look

I do not recommend this for straight hair, as the wavy/curly-ness hides any potential hideousness.  Also, I'm very curious what it will look like if I blow dry it, which I rarely do.  I wasn't too pleased with how the shorter layers turned out around my face, but they grow fast, so no permanent harm done.

It's the little pick-me-up I was looking for, so I'm happy.

YAY for saving money and having a little adventure in the process.

after the storm

Praise the LORD God, the God of Israel, 
who alone does such wonderful things. 


Praise his glorious name forever! 
Let the whole earth be filled with his glory. 
Amen and amen! 
--Psalm 72:18-19 


I took this picture on Saturday afternoon in Cannes, France.
And I read this verse this morning.  

God's creation is stunning, and the earth surely is filled with His glory ! 
It's crazy to think that if we didn't praise Him, 
the rocks and mountains would bow down before Him.

I love you Jesus !
Thank you for Your glory displayed here in this photo.
