Looking Back...

We have been in Greenland almost a year now! The time has flown by. I thought I would share some of pictures from our last days in America and a few from when we first arrived here. Hope you enjoy.

We were so wore out, we drove from Mississippi to Boston,  then we had an overnight flight to Denmark.  

Air Greenland took us to our home here in Sisimiut

The kids were troopers through all the traveling and then they slept on pallets for 2 months while we waited on our container to arrive. 

Fellowship...

I am so very excited, in less than two weeks we will be in Ilulissat visiting the other missionaries for almost two weeks. I have missed being able to fellowship with another Christian lady. On April 28 we will have been in Greenland for a year. It has been a long year in some ways, but it has flown by in other ways.  I feel like we are just getting started. We have a lot of work left to do on the languages,making friends,learning the culture,and lots more!

One of the reasons for our visit to Ilulissat is to see about working with the other missionaries, the Shulls. We would be working in the children's ministry along with other things as well. This year alone here has really let me see why the Lord sent them out two by two.

We are looking forward to being encouraged and hopefully being an encouragement! Please pray as we strive to make the right decisions in our work here in Greenland. Thank you.    

It's the little things...

The other day Marty brought me home some of the prettiest buttercups. Being in the Arctic we have flowers, in the summertime, but not buttercups. They made my day and also reminded me of home. They smell wonderful and are beautiful on the kitchen table. Whenever I walk by them I’m reminded how much I’m loved. It also got me to thinking, you know, it’s not the big things that matter most of the time, it’s the little things.

It’s the little things that can make or break your day. A friendly smile, a little note of encouragement, a little gift to brighten someone’s day, the list could go on.

My beautiful buttercups.

As the wife and mother of the home, my attitude affects my homes mood. The old saying, “if momma’s not happy, then no bodies happy”, has a lot of truth to it. We as women are the mood setters for our home. If I’m in a bad mood, good chances are everyone else will be also. Good moods are the same way. We can make or break the sweet spirit in our homes, and it’s the little things that can do it. A little love note to your husband can lift his spirits. You need to spend time with your children. Sometimes you just need to sit down and get to know their hearts and let them do some talking. I know we can get so wrapped up in the big things that we sometimes forget about those who live under the same roof as we do. So let’s remember that it’s the little things that matter!
