“Building upon God's Grace through Love, Obedience and Compassion”

"You’ve been raised on the Message of the faith

and have followed sound teaching. Now pass

this counsel to the followers of Jesus there, and

you’ll be a good servant of Jesus. Stay clear of

silly stories that get dressed up as religion.

Exercise daily in God - no spiritual flabbiness,

please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful,

but a disciplined life in God is far more so,

making you fit both today and forever."

1 Timothy 4: 6-8 (The Message)

Paul has a tendency of using metaphors from the

physical world and applying them to the

physical. In this passage, he is reminding

Timothy of the importance of daily exercise -

not the going to the gym exercise, but exercising

your spiritual muscles. Paul concludes that

physical exercise is important, however, it is

also temporary. On the other hand, spiritual

exercise prepares you for both the present and

for the future. Faith is not simply about getting

to heaven, but it is also about living well today.

Let us explore some ways to prevent spiritual

flabbiness!

When you wake up, what is your first thought?

Christians have always proclaimed prayer as

vital at the beginning of the day as a way to

order their life. Every morning we should be

seeking what God would like us to do today and

for his leading in our decisions and the way we

respond to situations. It is a recognition that we

have to take up our cross daily to follow Jesus

(Luke 9: 23). The hope is that by focusing on

God we can live today according to his desires.

By seeking God’s presence first, we should

respond better to our spouses, children, parents,

coworkers, etc. The act of daily prayer is vital

to preventing spiritual flabbiness.

Reading the Bible is an important part of our

daily spiritual lives. I appreciate Peterson’s

translation reminding us to stay away from “silly

stories that get dressed up as religion.” John

Wesley, an extremely well-read and educated

man, still proclaimed he was a man of one book.

If the Bible is God’s word given to us, then we

need to digest it in order to further understand

who he is. If you are new to reading the Bible, I

encourage you to seek guidance from older

Christians to help you gain a better

understanding (perhaps you could even talk to

your Pastor). By understanding Scripture, it is

easier to know how you should react in a way

that honors God in every situation.

Sometimes I wish I could have a spiritual scale.

When I stepped on a scale about a year ago and

saw 230lbs, I realized I had a flabbiness issue.

The scale continues to motivate me to try better

and is sometimes rewarding with the

information it gives me - which I have since

learned should not be rewarded at Dairy Queen.

Perhaps our spiritual “scale” could be how we

are living life. Do we have the joy and peace

that God promises? Do our families and friends

see us as loving and caring individuals? That is

a part of why being in an accountability

relationship with another person of faith can be

so beneficial. They can help us see any spiritual

flabbiness and help us get rid of it. After all, if

physical training is beneficial, how much more

beneficial should spiritual training be? It is of

eternal significance!

News from Kathmandu, Nepal

Kathmandu, June 2014. Dear Friends,

“Hear my voice when I call, O Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you ‘Seek his face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Ps. 27.7&8

Living long-term as a foreigner in another country, you have days when you wonder: where on earth do I belong? Despite all the warmth and generosity of Nepali friends and colleagues, there are still times when you just don’t seem to fit. Yet, even with e-mail and Skype facilities, how do you even start to tell family and friends overseas about the situations you are facing? Some camaraderie can be found amongst other expats, as you joke about the frustrations of living in a developing country, or roll your eyes at the misunderstandings of people from your home country. But even the expat community is transient, and our understanding and interpretation of situations varies with our own national backgrounds. Over the last 17 years, and particularly since being married, I have had the privilege of attending several special prayer/fellowship groups which have helped me find my place and keep afloat amidst the particular challenges of life here. For years, my “Friday feeling” was fed by an expat mothers and babies/toddlers prayer group, a lifeline throughout those years of teething, potty-training, and other development crises. Living far from relatives and friends, in an Asian culture with different childcare practices and expectations, the camaraderie and home-baking we shared on Friday mornings was the high point of my week. Talking seamlessly through nappy changes and toy-sharing squabbles, we listened to each others issues and struggles, offered advice and encouragement, and brought it all before the Lord in prayer. The exhaustion of motherhood - with nights broken by frequent breastfeeds, soaked nappies, coughs and blocked noses, street dogs at full moon, early morning pressure cookers, the rituals of Hindu festivals, or a neighbour’s avid rooster - was perhaps top of the list of issues. Close on its heels would be frequent illness, a serious challenge in Kathmandu’s dusty, dirty and water-deprived environment that would leave some families out of action for literally weeks. The absence of husbands during fieldtrips to rural areas, schooling choices (something with a local Nepali flavour but lower education standards, or joining an elite international school to maximise your child’s potential?), and managing household help that is economically-dependant on the provision of work in our homes, also featured regularly. Visitors might have wondered at the spiritual value of prayer held in such a noisy environment, and usually brought to an abrupt close by an impatient child announcing ‘snack time!’, but we all knew that by His grace and love each and every one of those prayers was heard and responded to with His compassion and concern. Even when our family went on extended home leaves, I would share prayer requests by e-mail with this group back in Nepal, knowing they were the ones who could most relate to our crazy lifestyle and the challenges it brought to family life. As Zachary and Benjamin have grown to become boys, and young men, with some sadness (and a realisation that I was now 10 years older than most current members!) last summer I stepped away from that Friday group. I now meet with a different set of women on Thursdays, and our focus is more on Bible study, which I thoroughly appreciate for the chance of some Christian teaching in English. Our meetings again take place in each other’s homes, and are laced with generous amounts of tea, coffee and baked goods. Nevertheless, it is our ‘shared experience’ as foreigners and our closing time of prayer together that make this group so important to me. Our prayer concerns include those familiar to women around the world, as well as those peculiar to our overseas circumstances, and we have an unwritten rule that anything you share that leaves you tearful requires immediate prayer before conversation moves on. Prayer topics in a recent week included homesickness, an overworked husband, a visit by elderly parents, a first trip home to do church visits, depression and sleeplessness related to a difficult work situation, anxiety over fund-raising, homeschooling, and our own boys’ issues with behaviour at school. We stopped for immediate prayer for a dear friend preparing to travel home, who didn’t know how she would face friends with new babies as she herself grieves over a recent miscarriage.

Kathmandu letter continued… Since the time my boys have both been in school, I have also been attending the weekly women’s fellowship at our Nepali church. At 1pm on Wednesdays, a small group of women comes together, seated on a circle of floor mats in the main sanctuary room at the church. After a couple of hymns, accompanied by Ratna Maya on the Nepali ‘madal’ drum, we share the blessings we have experienced in the last week. Ratna Maya herself was grateful for God’s presence and provision throughout an extended period when she had no money, with money-lenders pressing her for repayments. Gyaani Maya gave thanks that after a lifetime of washing her family’s clothes by hand, her engineer son bought her a washing machine during a recent visit. An elderly Mahila was relieved that she had been able to be baptized the previous week without any opposition by her family; the pastor’s wife was relieved that children who had come for a residential holiday club at the church had stayed safe and well throughout the time; and Laxmi was relieved that medical investigation of a growth on her shoulder had shown it not to be cancerous. We give thanks for these blessings in songs and prayer before proceeding on to a time of Bible teaching. After the teaching, we come again to an essential part of our meeting together, a time of sharing needs for prayer for one another. Again the issues vary from those common to women around the world, to those very particular to the women of Nepal. The ladies in the group come from a very different economic, social and cultural background than me, but I feel that the prayer times we share in this fellowship really bind us together, as we experience our commonality before God. Health concerns often top the list for Nepali Christians: the pastor’s wife was preparing to travel to a remote region of the country and was concerned about the cold climate and her own health. Mahila, the newly baptized lady, had an ugly sore under her eye and Laxmi was facing another surgery on her shoulder. For Ramila, it was another common issue: the tension and pressure on Christians living within Hindu households. Her father-in-law, after years of anger about his son becoming a Christian, had recently become one himself after undergoing serious heart surgery. His wife, Ramila’s mother-in-law, was very upset by this and was consequently carrying out extra amounts of Hindu worship and propitiation in the house, in which Ramila and her husband and son share a room. The most upset however was Saanu Chori, a woman whose youngest teenage daughter suffers from behavioural problems and poorly controlled epilepsy, resulting in neighbours labeling her as ‘abnormal’ and weird. Saanu Chori became a Christian as a result of seeking prayer for Pratina, and perseveres in her faith in the face of minimal change in Pratina, and ongoing derision by her husband and neighbours. Related to her other challenges, Pratina has started to fail academically and so it was decided to give her a fresh start by enrolling her in a new high school. Unfortunately, Pratina’s first day coincided with her first menstrual period, which left her overwhelmed before students and teachers, and incapable of dealing with her dress and personal hygiene. Her mother was called that very afternoon to come and help deal with her, and all hope of the ‘fresh start’ was shattered. What can you say to a mother in this position, with a minimum of healthcare options or social support for her child in this poverty-bound country? There is certainly some comfort, and even practical advice, to be had when we find our challenges have been faced by other women, but that is often not enough. Perhaps some of you ladies reading this letter have also experienced times when a friend has stepped into that discouraging space of hopelessness. Unable to offer solace herself, she comes on our behalf before the One who is filled with compassion for us, reminding Him and us of His love and His promises. I am grateful for the provision of many women who have prayed such prayers for me over the years…perhaps you too are one of them? And I hope that you also may experience being caught up in that net of prayer when feeling overwhelmed and ‘at sea’. We are looking forward to visiting family in Ireland and America during the month of July, and hope you also enjoy your summer.

With thanks for all your prayers and support, Deirdre, Mark, Zachary and Benjamin.

The most wonderful places to be in this world are:
