I just read a book called The Way Home about the persecuted church in China and it really impacted me. Your story about Dr. Lamb reminded me of the kind of commitment to the kingdom of God that I had only just read about. It is raw and the most beautiful devotion to God that I have ever heard about. I appreciate how in your blog you were able to take something that can feel so heavy and make it relatable to the things that many American women can relate to, child rearing. We may not all be called to the persecuted church, be we do need to be faithful where He has called us.

Blessings to you,
Rebecca

Hannah-Thank you so much for this post! I really enjoyed it. It reminds that sometimes we might try to do too many things (thinking God must be so happy) but we only do okay at those things, because there are so many! I think if we narrowed our list and find out what Gods one thing is for us, we could go out in excellence doing what God has called us to do! Bless you! Good word. =)

Thank you Hannah – this Word is timely. Although it feels like I could never be doing just one thing (I have 5 children), the Lord has truely been clarifying the God thing for this season and how it must come first. As I put His thing first – everything else is miraculously falling into place. And when it doesn't look like it is – I trust Him that He's working on it for me.

Thank you Hannah for a sobering reminder of the persecuted church and our own call that God has placed on our lives. Great post!

Amen, Hannah! God could remove all of our persecution & while I know He’s not waiting to electrocute us with lightening in the name of love, He does purify us & move in the heavenlies through the trial & our pressing in! There is no great movement without a counter attack & there is great good brought through our pressing! I have seen God protect me time and again in my marriage, in my childhood, in my children & in my callings, bu I can’t always see it before the great outcome! I have learned that this can be heart breaking & feel initially like failure, but after standing in faith He always comes through! The hard jail time can be rough & this is GREAT encouragmenr! He always says, “Don’t look at that storm! Look at me!!” God bless you for sharing!!! Sacha

Hannah, love this post and love you! It's cool how you expanded our minds/hearts for the church in China while at the same time you challenge us to embrace the one thing we are called to do with the same obedience and conviction as Dr. Lamb. Inspiring yet practical–well done! Now I must get back to my one thing…:)
