They Are Only Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:03:00 +0000

01-19-12 Drugs and sex. We all know they are a problem in the US and particularly with our young. Yet, sometimes for me they just seem like numbers. I grew up in a Christian home with a huge loving family. I never had the need for such things. It probably helped that my uncle frequented our...

Prayer Requests

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 13:40:00 +0000

Now that our application to return to Haiti has been accepted I have lots of prayer requests. We still don't have any details yet, but we want to be ready to go when God is ready to send us. We first felt called to return to Haiti in August 2010. We have been very busy here in Craig since that...

Azi

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:50:00 +0000

11-30-11 Today I was practicing telling the Bible story for Joyful Noise Makers and using Azi as an audience. We are studying the birth of Jesus this week. To keep Azi's attention I gave her some paper and crayons and instructed her to listen to the story and draw pictures of what she heard. ...

I just love this and had to share with everyone. Yesterday, our family got away from the world and all things Halloween and went to my grandparents ranch. It was so refreshing just to enjoy God's creation and praise God all day. Below is part of an e-mail that my mother-in-law sent to me. ...

10-21-2011 I don't think I have ever really understood the story of the ten virgins. I know it is probably very simple. I just could not put it into real life terms. Tonight, I think I may have caught a glimpse. I would love to hear your thoughts as well. Who really are these virgins? ...

Safety is not what our Lord has promised.

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:35:00 +0000

Tonight I found my prayers consumed with safety. That I would be safe, my kids would be safe, Sam would be safe, that people would not have hardship or troubles. I still have that overwhelming feeling that I just want everything to be safe, good, comfortable and easy. Yet, something in my soul...

Gideon's First Day of Kindergarten

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 20:41:00 +0000

8-26-11 Gideon in front of his sunflower. At the Kindergarten prep day last spring the kindergarten teachers helped each kid plant a sunflower. The kids were all told that when their sunflower was taller than they were it was time for school to start. Sure enough, it is time! Gideon on the...

Monday morning Sam and I officially decided to go for a fast visit to Kansas. We really wanted to see family before Gideon heads off to kindergarten on this Monday. So we left Monday night and drove through the night to get there. We had such a good time. I don't know how many times I...

The Gideon Story

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 05:00:00 +0000

The other day, I found Gideon crying in his bed. "Honey, what's the matter?" I asked."We drank beer." He confessed in tears"Are you sure it wasn't just a dream?" I reasoned"No! It was real!" he insisted"Well...when did you drink beer?" I asked trying to convince him that it was just a dream.Then...

08-12-11 I was going to post a cute story of Gideon today..........but instead I have a prayer request. (I will post Gideon story tomorrow) For the last couple months, Sam has been having trouble focusing with his left eye. He already wears glasses, so we assumed that his prescription needed...

Second Visit

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Fri, 27 May 2011 03:45:00 +0000

05-26-11 It's been a struggle. All day Tuesday the urgent took the place of the important. I left the house to do one thing and run a few errands and before I knew it I was out of time and still hadn't even thought of my main goal for that afternoon. Millions of reasons ran through my head of...

Four Hours on the Wind River Reservation

05-19-11 It was what I expected yet nothing like I expected. I expected to only get to talk with one or two people and I only had two good conversations.But, their responses surprised me. The kids and I pulled into Ethete, WY and checked out the tiny little town. We ate a little lunch at what...

05-17-2011 Tomorrow, God willing, I will be going to The Wind River Indian Reservation. I have been looking at unreached people groups throughout the world and realized that I am just a little over four hours from one of them. Over 7000 people that don't know Christ. This is just an opportunity...

Why do we think that we are so important?

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:47:00 +0000

Somewhere along the line we have gotten the idea that God wants us to have a great life. That it is so very important that we live life to the full. Yet, our idea of full is nowhere close to God's. We look for food, clothing and shelter, if we are really minimalists. If we are not we want even...

"Yeah but, have you ever been this obedient?"

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 03:41:00 +0000

The other day I had a bad day. You know the kind of day where you are just cranky. All day I was hard to be around. But Sam was so good. He was helpful, nice, patient and he ever so gently asked me to listen to this audio book. I was not interested. I had a million reasons why I couldn't. He...

Is it worth it?

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Tue, 22 Feb 2011 19:56:00 +0000

02-22-11 When it boils down to it, almost every conversation I have had about Christ in Craig has been about this. Many will even agree that I am right about Christ, but they are just not sure that it is worth it. Really, that is why I think the rich man in Mark 10 went away sad "22 At...

Valentines Day

After four days of mom and I both having the nasty flu, my kids have officially watched too much TV. They are also, thanks to the TV, fully versed in Valentines Day. Gideon woke up excited, because he thought Valentines Day meant candy. That was good enough for him. Azi however is more girl...

Why I Pray For and Love Haiti

Please read Stacey's blog today. I love Haiti because I can see and feel God working in Haiti and for me it is much easier to see that the Harvest is plentiful. They are a wonderful people for so many reasons, but my favorite is that they are a ripe harvest. What a...

Happy Birthday Gideon! Gideon had been waiting and waiting to turn five. So far as he understands five year olds can do everything. Here are a few pictures from his big day. Gideon was so cute when he saw his cake. "This is awsome! This is awsome dwasom! Thank you...

Waiting

noreply@blogger.com (Sam and Cammie Aberle) — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 03:35:00 +0000

12-29-10 Waiting. I'm not a huge fan. I mean, what do I do when I am waiting? Do I sit patiently, quietly sitting still or do I rush to get another job done, or at least half of a job done, before it's time to go? If I sit quietly I run the risk of wasting tons of time doing NOTHING. What if...
