Leaning on the Everlasting Arms: Doing a Vanna Pose.

Doing a Vanna Pose.

Praise God for taking care of our garden! It is growing so nicely. In these pictures Sulmi and Kristel are striking a Vanna (Wheel of Fortune) pose...to show off the tomatoes and lettuce.

The radishes are HUGE. Last year they were too close together and never got larger than a gumball. They weren't very tasty either. This year I thinned them out more and transplanted some of them. When the girls and I picked a few we thought , Oh no! They are too big. I used to think that all radishes are better when they are small. But this variety is so yummy and crunchy, even though they are big.

Gardening is so rewarding. In this tropical climate my students can watch things grow year round. Cool, huh?

Things I Love About Belize

EVERY meeting begins with prayer, whether it is a Town Council Meeting, a school function, or the National Spelling Bee.
No matter where you go, there is always someone you know who is greeting you with a smile and a wave.
The zillion stars in the sky.
When my car fell into an uncovered drain and I could not go forward or back... within 3 minutes 6 men came running to help and lifted the car up and out! Not that I would pull the stunt to have six men come running (smile)... but I have been saved more than once!
When something breaks, like the rubber gasket on the bottom of the tank behind my toilet and water was flowing everywhere, or when the dog chewed through my garden hose while I was at school and water sprayed over the fence and into the street, there is always a neighbor who is ready to come to the rescue and fix the problem.

About this Ministry

How did I end up in Belize?
In 2004 a Belizean family asked me to come to Belize to teach their deaf son and possibly other deaf children for the summer. We expected about six children but were surprised by fifty-two adults and children who came to our three week ASL workshop. God walked with me and led me each day. In so many ways God empowered me and encouraged me. When it was time to return to the US and my full time teaching job there, I felt God calling me to plan to return to Belize to start a Deaf Church. I returned the following August (2005) to start a church and teach the Deaf children at St. Peter's Anglican School here in Orange Walk. Since then God's hand on this ministry has been beyond my wildest dreams. This blog is a dialogue on the journey. I hope it shows God's power and presence in the lives of those who commit to following in Jesus' footsteps to build the Kingdom. I pray over each entry hoping it encourages others to "step out of the boat" and take risks to answer God's call in their lives.
