I was going to wait until we moved to Missouri and started the missionary training to put it up but I'm afraid it'll be too busy and changing the name/look now will mean one less thing to worry about then. So welcome to The Missionary Mama!
I wanted a name that reflected who I was and I think this one does. I may be a missionary (or soon will be) but first I was and am a wife and mother. And my family is a priority for me, even when we are on the mission field my family will be my main "ministry". I'm thankful for a husband who views it the same way and encourages me in that area and sees our family as a ministry as well.
I've been asked how we will raise our boys on the mission field and I'd have to say the same way we would if we were living here. They were given to us by the Lord to raise and I'm so happy to be their mommy! I don't want them to feel like we are putting our "missionary work" above them. But I also think it's a great experience for them to grow up seeing that there is a big world out there and it doesn't all revolve around them. There are millions of people around the world who have never once heard about the true and living God who sent His son so they don't have to live in darkness and in fear anymore. But that's another topic for another post.
So now that I have a name that will be sticking around for a while (sorry i've changed it so much!) I'm wondering if one of you can help me make a blog button?
Ok, i need to go make this sweet potato casserole or Rachel and Geoff may not let me come to dinner tonight! =)
PS. Don't forget you can still order a pencil drawing from Andrew! Makes a wonderful Christmas gift!
He can do portraits of both people and or pets. If anyone would like one they would need to send Andrew a jpeg of the picture they'd like to have drawn through email. Portraits will be 9'' x 12'' & the price is $40. That's a great price. I've seen them online prices for a lot more!
Here's his email again... andrewtopel@hotmail.com
