October 9, 2009, "Amazing Race, Family Night"

By -
Normally I don't post anything but devotional writings...however, I had to celebrate my beautiful daughter. I am very grateful to God for allowing my wonderful husband and I to get to be her parents. Sometimes we look at her in awe! I tease her all the time, yet there is great truth in jest when I say, "I get to be your mom? You're my daughter? Wow!" She responds so faithfully, "Mom, stop! You say that all the time!" She is hilarious, precious and her heart is so passionate for life and I love her innocence to want to remain a child...

She is so kind and thoughtful as her school had an 'Amazing Race' Theme PTO Family Night, along with a fabulous Book Fair. She allowed me to utilize her as my 'prop' for our country that we represented. I did allow her to take a quick break to get her passport stamped from all the different countries. The 'theme' allowed visitors to 'travel' to the 7 Continents in an hour ~ so cute and everyone did a fabulous job.

We represented South Korea. Of course, my mom is Korean and my dad is American (Half Lebanese and Half German). I love the Korean culture and just the country itself, I desire to visit there one day soon.


Grandpa and Grandma came for a surprise visit; Tristin and I were very blessed that they came.
Below is a picture of Tristin and a photo of Grandma when she was 18 years old in her hanbok.

It's been April, 2019 since my last entry. To say, "Much has happened since then" is definitely an understatement. As many of you may know in 2017, I started a YouTube channel called, Let's Talk with Teresa Ann and began a perspective shifting segment via Instagram LIVE on Monday's titled, Heavenly Wit Monday , based on the book I released in March, 2020 titled Heavenly Wit: Seeing Mission Fields in the Midst of Battlefields . It's definitely been a journey to learn how to see with God's Divine insight. To see the mission fields in the midst of the battlefields.  Meanwhile, learning from the effortless flow of water, how to be flexible to simply lean in to hear the voice of God through the Holy Spirit's help with properly reading God's Word and praying. Continuing to learn that prayer is simply yet profoundly agreeing with Him. It's not about Him agreeing with me.  To know that this life is about  holding onto Him so tightly so we can hold e

Triumphant Victorious Reminders Inspired by the Holy Spirit Written by: Teresa Criswell Photograph from Google  "Don't be afraid, for I Am with you.  Do not be dismayed, for I Am your God.  I will strengthen you, I will help you.  I will uphold you with my victorious right hand." ~ GOD, as recorded in Isaiah 41:10 The Lord God is with you! He is your God! Almighty Lord God is your Strengthener! The Lord is your Helper! He is our God, Who is Truth! In Truth, we must remember that He is the Upholder; upholding us with His victorious right hand! Notice Who is on the Right Hand of the Father...JESUS! JESUS UPHOLDS US WITH WHO HE IS! As we remind ourselves Who God is, there is a very little chance to be afraid or dismayed. Can you imagine when we begin to practice and exercise such Truth? The circumstances, tests and difficulties of life become afraid and dismayed of the incredible Faith in our God that squashes any attempts of those defeated

August 30, 2010, "Pursuing God? Or pursuing the benefits of God?

By -
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." ~ Hebrews 12:1 & 2 ~ Pursing God? Or pursuing the benefits of God? I was guilty of the second; pursuing the benefits of God. I focused on being holy. I focused on the blessings. I focused on the fruit of the Spirit. I focused on the provision of God. I focused on the healing of God. I focused on the miracles of God. I focused on the Kingdom of God. I focused on resisting the devil. You name it, and I claimed it. Yet, I realized even in this small focus blunder, it is ALL idolatry. What?!?! Yes, I said it, and I am guilty of it, 'Idolatry'. This may seem a bit
