There’s been a long absence, but I feel compelled to write something about my discoveries in the very humble place of motherhood.
I asked God to take me to the edge of His work; He called me into my home. This is where I am learning some humbling lessons. Mostly about laying everything down. Me first.
I find myself at another edge … standing, speaking, praying against injustice.
I am in my home, but I am going to the ends of the earth. I am pushing against boundaries of perception, geography, time, energy, society and culture. I am on the edge with God.
And much of this I am learning from an almost five-year-old.
Hi Idelette!
Welcome back to BloggerLand. I’m looking forward to keeping in touch with you via this medium.
Much love!

Look forward to reading more Idelette.
Interesting how powerful the learning becomes when we really ’see’ around us isn’t it.
I am reading The Life You Can Save – Peter Singer, and we are analyzing how we need to change how we think and work to more actively be part of justice in the global sense.
hey Steph
Just read the article on your hubby! Grandma made sure I had to read it tonight. Very neat. I loved YOUR quote in there!
Interesting that you mention Peter Singer. Brings back so many memories of when I worked/volunteered with the Life Conservationist Association in Taiwan. I learned so much about commitment from that amazing team of people.
