A journaling companion
A quiet place to draw a prompt, set a timer and write by hand. Made to sit alongside the book, and to work on its own when you only have twenty minutes and a pen.
For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.Ephesians 2:10
ποίημαpoiēma
The word Paul chose in Ephesians 2:10 is poiēma. It is where we get the word poem. Not a rough draft. Not a first attempt. A made thing, worked on with care, and still being worked on.
So the writing you do here is not you inventing yourself from nothing. It is you reading back what the Maker has already been writing, and finding the parts you have not yet said out loud.

The book
Thirteen chapters to carry you through a year. Each one holds a reflection, scripture, a prayer and room to write. You will look back at where your story began, recover rest and delight, find your voice again, and learn to offer yourself the compassion you hand out so freely.
Ten percent of every sale goes to Kate Green's work on the Thai and Myanmar border.
Giving
Ten percent of every sale of this book goes to Kate's work with the Burmese church on the border between Thailand and Myanmar. When you buy the book, part of it goes there.
Kate is an Australian trained teacher with a background in community and social services. She works on the Thai and Myanmar border, mostly alongside the local Burmese church, and her passion is to see local people raised up to lead in the church and in community development.
Because of the civil war in Myanmar, many nationals have fled into Thailand or are displaced close to the border. Kate works with a team providing emergency aid and response, medical supplies, educational resources and opportunities, discipleship and evangelism. The relationships she has built locally mean she can coordinate aid delivery exactly where it is needed, including places most people cannot reach.
Her heart is in prevention as much as response. She believes that investing in communities and preventing family breakdown is what keeps children with their families, and she advocates hard for children to attend school while still living at home.
The town Kate lives in is known for illegal activity, human trafficking, the drug trade and poverty. On her first day at the border, bombs were dropped on the Myanmar side.
That same day a Thai soldier asked Kate where she was from. She told him Australia, and that she was there to serve with the local church. He answered:
Then I want to work with you. You have a book (Bible) that says you have to love people.
The tally
You will find Kate in fields, migrant schools, local slums, youth ministries, community projects, local churches and boarding houses, supporting colabourers for the sake of the gospel. She believes firmly that the local church is called to be his hands and feet in whatever community it finds itself in.
