Unmasking Chronic Stress Related Illness

Living Put Together, Upright, and Whole
“For the person with creative potential there is no wholeness except in using it.” ― Robert K. Greenleaf It was raining, so I didn’t walk. I also didn’t make my protein smoothie for breakfast. Instead, I made pancakes. They were made from spelt flour, but they...

In the midst of life uncertainties, it’s vital that we find an anchor that can help ground us,

general through a positive lens. Today, Luke Murray of Council of Neighbors, which strives to
unite neighborhoods and communities across the nation, shares some ways that prayer can do
wonders for your body and mind.

Prayers of Ascent: Psalm 124
"And I add this part here, to hint to whoever shall read it, that whenever they come to a true sense of things, they will find deliverance from sin a much greater blessing than deliverance from affliction." ~ Daniel Defoe https://ebible.com/esv/psalms/124 This is one...
Prayers of Ascent: Psalm 123
The picture is of a servant standing in the corner of the dining hall watching for the slightest hand motion of his master. This attentive servant would act the instant he saw any gesture that indicated a need. But, our writer isn’t waiting on tables, he is the one needing attention. What is it that he needs? –mercy.

Podcast
I was honored to be a guest on Mike and Cynthia Savage’s podcast entitled A Savage Perspective. To gain perspective on what a mission’s trip into South East Asia looks like, listen to my interview with my former professor and his wife. He also asks me some pointed questions on what it is like as a woman called into Evangelism/Missions.
Books for Southeast Asian Children
Last time in Cambodia, we visited a village school where 800 children attend. Pastor Dara works with the teachers so that they might be able to present the gospel to these children. Pastor Dara is planting a church in the village. This school is isolated in that there is not much outside influence. As a matter of fact, we were the first westerners to visit the village. One of Pastor Dara’s dreams is to create a library for these children of English books with a Biblical worldview. With that in mind, we will be donating towards the establishment of school libraries in Southeast Asian villages where we have pastoral relationships. If you would like to donate toward books or the shipping fees, you may donate here. If you would like to know more, please email at info@kristeneodell.com.
