Bible verse with Josh & Renee in Asia

1 Thess .5:16-18  ,"Rejoice always, PRAY without stopping. GIVE THANKS in all circumstances.  This is the will of GOD in Christ JESUS our LORD." 
 Challenge :Memorize this verse with us!. 
So much Love in Christ Jesus our Lord- Renee & Josh/ Mother & Son.  More importantly FORGIVEN & Heavenward in Jesus Christ. 
 We can not do this in and of ourselves (GIVE THANKS & PRAY without stopping).  We need to PRAY & stand united in PRAYER for each other. May His strength and peace be seen through us (fellow believers) despite all our many weaknesses.

Ninja Warrior Moments  & Israelite History Reflections
with Renee

We are living in Cambodia and I go on the back of Tiger driving the motobike, we get there and I see a high schooler in year 10, same year as my daughter, waiting at the gate for his friend.

Yes, I needed encouragement and still do because the pain is not over with yet…

A student asked, Mrs. Smith, who are your other 2 heros. Here's my top 3: 1- Martin Luther King, Jr. for speaking out that all men should be treated equally (what the Bible says); 2- Nick Vujicic of life without limbs (who met with our family in Cambodia our first Sunday in Cambodia when we saw him speak.

She overcame so much, became an A student in college, student taught …
