Baby Enoch and Worship in the Park

Baby Enoch

This is baby Enoch.  He is 2 months old.  He is the third child of some Taiwanese friends.  I held him for the entire "worship in the park" on Sunday since his dad and mom--the pastor and pastor's wife--were leading the worship (see below).

Other pictures taken yesterday at the park ministry can be seen here (warning though--most of them are of children--I was having mommy-longings yesterday, so I wasn't in a "capture pictures of ministry" mode). :)

:) Gotta love babies!!

It is so hard to handle mommy-longings when there is no one in (human) sight that could be a potential spouse.

update on my taiwanese mom According to her flesh-and-blood daughter my Taiwanese mom, who is/was suffering from depression seems to be doing better. I have included part of an email from her flesh-and-blood daugther (my dear friend) below: My mom seems much better now than she was a few weeks ago. Now she is able to do housework and cooking. She is like "the normal her" now. But when I asked her "Are you feeling better?" She would reply, " No.. not really." Especially when talking about small decisions about the new house, she would feel depressed. Now, she hangs out with my big aunt a lot. She would go anywhere with my aunt when she gets a chance to because she doesn't really like to stay at home. So.. really don't know what to do, but I am very thankful that she is getting better. Please say " Thank you" to the friends you sent the praying lists to for me if you get a chance to. It means a lot to me and my family. Please continue to pray for this family. I would love to see the mom and brother become Christians! Please ask for the Dad and daughters---that they will continue to grow in Christ and fearlessly make known the Gospel.

He does what he wants I was sharing the gospel with a dear friend last week. As he was asking me different questions, he asked me one that went something like this, "So, you wanna get married right?" "Well, yes." "So, even if you never get married, do you still trust Him and love Him?" My friend knew how to get to my heart of hearts, but the answer is simply, "Yes." "Ok, so, what if you never get married and lots and lots of bad things happen to you for the rest of your life, are you still going to worship Him and call him good?" "Well, yes." If there ever comes a time like that, I know that won't be easy and I am not saying I won't wrestle with it, but God is either all good all the time or He is not good at all. He is all powerful all the time or he is not in control at all. I don't get to choose what God's character is based on the circumstances around me. At a ladies retreat I went to this past weekend, the speaker pointed out that usually when we face a crisis of belief these are the two character traits of God we struggle with most. Some of us will declare "well, God is all powerful, but he must not be all good (or he would have prevented this)," while others of us will claim, "God is good, but he must not be all powerful (or he would have stopped this)." But, both of these are lies. The beauty of God's sovereignity is "his absolute right to do all things according to his own good pleasure" (Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary). Nothing in that statement says I have the right to understand or approve of what He is doing. As Job puts it "But he is singular and sovereign. Who can argue with him? He does what he wants, when he wants to" (23:13). I must choose to trust His heart. I must choose to trust how He has revealed Himself to me and to my ancestors in the past. I must choose to trust that He is who He says He is in His Word. So, then, let's celebrate our sovereign Lord. Let's delight in the fact that in all things and in all ways forever and always He alone--an all-powerful, all-good God--is supreme, is in complete control. "How great you are, O Sovereign LORD! There is no one like you–there is no other God. We have never even heard of another god like you! . . . For you are God, O Sovereign LORD. Your words are truth, and you have promised these good things to me, your servant. And now, may it please you to bless me and my family so that our dynasty may continue forever before you. For when you grant a blessing to your servant, O Sovereign LORD, it is an eternal blessing!" (2 Samuel 7:22, 28-29)
