Redeemer Church of Dubai turned 2 yesterday! And Norah Claire turned 3 today! Norah’s and Redeemer’s birthdays will forever be in lock-step. When we arrived at the celebration for Redeemer last night we turned the corner to see hundreds of people and all of the balloons. Norah gasped, “For my birfday?!” “No, honey, this is [...]

Life in Arabia would like to dedicate today’s post in honor of the veracious and mirthful Dr Washam. Tomorrow is Dr Washam’s last day on staff at Redeemer, as he is going back to the States on Friday night. Granted, he has tried to leave in the past. Inshallah, The Boots will be back. *Image [...]

I want to celebrate Easter [...]

She’s breathtaking. Amara Grace is the newest Redeemer baby. I love how her parents named her– Amara is an Arabic name that means eternal. And I love how she was born– safe and sound after a 26-hour labor that was the picture of God’s grace for her and her parents… and in the same hospital [...]

There was delicious food, great books, friendly greeters, Christmas crafts to be made, and Christmas carols to be sung. That’s me leading 100 women in singing Christmas carols. (Those who know me assumed I was joking about the singing part. ) I got the easy job of sharing the message of Christmas. What a fun [...]
