Hi there! Welcome! I am Christine, and I am becoming a living stone that Jesus can build up and use. For 30-plus years I have been a missionary, mostly living in East Africa. Coming to Jesus became a moment-by-moment necessity for my survival and through the years he keeps helping me, changing me, transforming me into a living stone he can use. (See in the Bible, 1 Peter 2:4-5)

Over the years I amassed countless pages of journaling, jotting down, and endless thoughts on this process of becoming a living stone. Now, in 2024, I sense the fullness of time and an inner urging that the ponderings and lessons I kept private are meant to be shared.

Becoming a Living Stone is where I share how Jesus teaches me, changes me, and builds me into a living stone through the ordinary stuff of daily life and all of creation. I hope you will subscribe and join me in coming to Jesus and becoming a living stone. Then, every new post is sent directly to your email inbox. I look forward to sharing together.
