I love knowing we are a world wide church that embraces diverse cultures and traditions. I love the variety we have as a world family.

How interesting to attend church in so many places. I pray that you will get to the Phillipines soon. Thanks for sharing your story with us. What an interesting life you must have lead!

It's amazing to read all of your experiences, and how, even though our lives differ greatly - we all share the commonality of experiencing trials. We all need to find ways to overcome them. I love the quote that you included because I think that we, as women especially, get caught up on being perfect - and forget the whole concept of Grace - that no matter what we do we will still need Christ. It is very humbling, yet it fills my heart with hope. Anyways - thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself. It's my first time on this site, and I'm excited to keep checking back! Hey Sylvia!

What a blessing to have such a supportive husband. Thank you for reminding me to pray/study/keep/endure today. It is a pattern that works. Hey Sylvia, you and Mohamed make a darling couple!
