The Process of Fulfilling God's Dream

We've had this audio recording of my Mom for several months now. Finally ready to share it with you all. Our friend, Ryan Bulan, recorded my Mom teaching Bible study on April 21, 2011.

I've listened to it dozens of times over the past few months. We're so grateful that he recorded her. He also made a montage to this recording that we'll post here soon (soon is relative though).
It's a short snippet of all her teaching, but I'm sure you'll be inspired and blessed!

Part 1


Part 2


Expect a miracle, friends!

June 21

Dear Mom,

Happy One Year Anniversary of living in our apartment!
Thank you for expecting a miracle that we'd have a place to live by June 21st, the day Sami graduated from kindergarten. I remember you kept emphasizing,
"We will have a place to live by June 21st because that's the day Sami will be out of school--that's the day I said we'd have a place. So, God will provide. Tell everyone to pray for us."
Haha. God sure did provide!
"We're going to get a place with two bathrooms." You stressed to me during the days and weeks prior. "Two bathrooms. We cannot share one bathroom--it's too crowded."
The day we moved...It was hot--remember that? Even the morning was albeit too warm (unlike today where the weather is deliciously cool and breezy, it felt like perfect tennis weather I must say). It was especially too hot to be moving furniture! But we were always a family for extremes right? Extreme changes in extreme weather.

Besides living here for a year now, it's been 7 months too. Sometimes I just lean back and take a deep breath--you were so right about 2011 being our year for change. We just didn't realize how much. I am so glad you expected a miracle, I have no idea where we'd be right now if you didn't fight for us on your knees--contending for a place for us to live and reminding us to do the same.

Simply put...thanks. Thank you for caring, for praying, for encouraging.

Your life was not in vain.

Love you. I'll see you on the other side.

From my heart to yours,
Liana

7 months

A few weeks ago, I had a dream. It was you! You were comforting me and said that everything was going to be ok. It happened so fast I it was just like a flash. Nothing more to say. Missing You.

Doing what she did best.

She speaks with wisdom,
    and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
    and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
    her husband also, and he praises her: 
 “Many women do noble things,
    but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.


~ Proverbs 31: 26-27
