Rescued From Darkness to Light: January 2013
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Monday, January 28, 2013. Time in the Land of Plenty. Straddling two cultures, embracing a state of “homelessness”—after two and a half years, I may have thought it’d become “old hat”, nothing to ruffle the feathers. The general expectations of re-entry are slightly more predictable but they take a different form every time. How to balance sharing the joys and sufferings that come with this life? How to be real without scaring them off? For now...

Rescued From Darkness to Light: Counting the Cost
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2013/02/counting-cost.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Thursday, February 7, 2013. In my last post, I mentioned that there is a cost to saying “yes” to the missionary lifestyle. There is a sacrifice in the going, the doing, the being. Some missionaries claim that they “never made a sacrifice”. And if that is truly how they saw it, bully for them. But me? I haven’t been sanctified enough yet to say that. Not sure I ever will. And that’s just what I am—a disaster! The surpassing worth of. Ugandan Bea...

Rescued From Darkness to Light: December 2012
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Monday, December 10, 2012. Thinking of Friday on a Monday. Friday, pictured below, passed away from Burkitt's lymphoma at Uganda's Cancer Institute in Kampala. You can read more about his story at this link. And an update here. I don't usually click on links to read articles but this one is pretty interesting. The photo at the top is taken in the room that Friday lived in for several months while receiving chemo treatments.

Rescued From Darkness to Light: March 2013
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Friday, March 29, 2013. I’ve worshiped through a traditional Seder and age-old traditional liturgy. I’ve worshiped to the beat of African drums and enthusiastic dancing. I’ve filled up on kid therapy—swinging a jump rope, complimenting their coloring pages. I’ve groaned as the same kids knock on my door for a solid 45 minutes, as I try to accomplish something in the house. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. All who are thirsty.

Rescued From Darkness to Light: On Being a Honey Badger
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2013/04/on-being-honey-badger.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. On Being a Honey Badger. 8220;Honey badger don’t care. He just takes what he wants.” –crude (but hilarious) youtube video. I’ll admit that I’ve been called a honey badger by more than one person. It’s usually in reference to my direct, no holds barred speech. Or when they’re surprised by my feistiness—how could someone so small and cute also be so scrappy? As Alisha told me about the dilemma, honey badger kicked in....

Rescued From Darkness to Light: November 2012
http://chrissychip.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Rescued From Darkness to Light. A Journey in Grace and Hope. Thursday, November 15, 2012. Blogging has sunk low on my list as life continues at breakneck speed here in Bundibugyo. But then again, I know my primary purpose here is not blogging and I’m thankful to be busy in ministry :). She had surgery at an orthopedic hospital, recovered, and is back in Bundibugyo with her mother as of yesterday. God is so good in his timing too—the mom of the family is about to produce their third child so I&#...My desk...

Able to Stand: Numero Uno
http://abletostand.blogspot.com/2009/05/numero-uno.html
Friday, May 8, 2009. I guess I will explain the title of my blog to start out with, that seems like the thing to do. It comes from a piece of Romans 14:4 where Paul is discussing the weak and the strong. To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.". Isn't it lovely that we do not have to worry about completely falling because the Lord is able to make us stand? I can not do it alone. I am able to stand because he is able to do it.
