Before and After

March 19, 2020March 26, 2020 / michellegunnin / 8 Comments

My current job, to walk alongside parents whose young adults are on the mission field, was born from launching my own daughter to go around the world several years ago.  That life experience gave me the compassion I need to do my job. I have the honor of helping parents release their kids, and I … Continue reading Before and After

And the Rain Came

March 8, 2020 / michellegunnin / 5 Comments

We went to Asia in the dry season.  Cold once the sun went down, and delightfully sunny and warm during the day, and because it is the dry season, there wasn’t a cloud in sight.  Layering was the key to being comfortable temperature wise, but one morning we woke to an overcast sky.  The sun … Continue reading And the Rain Came

Every Tribe and Tongue

March 5, 2020March 5, 2020 / michellegunnin / 4 Comments

  One of the things I most love in my travels is worshiping God with others who are different from me.  The cultures, the languages, the music, it is all so very unusual and rings distinctively in my ears.  The differences cause me to step out of my comfort zone and they wake me up … Continue reading Every Tribe and Tongue

Badge of Honor

March 2, 2020 / michellegunnin / 7 Comments

  I am a planner. When I travel, my planning skill manifests in arriving at the airport extra early.  Whereas Bill would slide in on two wheels 20 minutes before take-off, I want to be there an hour before the two hours they recommend, “just in case.” When I lead trips for my work we … Continue reading Badge of Honor

The One

October 3, 2019October 3, 2019 / michellegunnin / 3 Comments

In Ethiopia, our host Glenda, did a devotional time each morning before we went out.  She has amazing insight into scripture and her time with us was always in preparation for what we would be doing.  One day, when we were going out into the village to visit widows and orphans, she talked about how … Continue reading The One

Creation’s Song

September 28, 2019 / michellegunnin / 1 Comment

Creation speaks to me.  Always has.  The smallest flower, the highest mountain…all of it is inspiring to me because it points me to the one I love, who loves me.  Rain is my love language.  The moon is my muse.  The thing about nature is it is rarely silent. There is always a song.  In … Continue reading Creation’s Song

The Widows and the Orphans

September 22, 2019 / michellegunnin / 1 Comment

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress.  James 1:27 The ministry we partnered with, HopEthiopia, uses James 1:27 as the core scripture on which their vision is built.  Rather than an institutionalized orphanage, they have what is called a Children’s Village on their property. The … Continue reading The Widows and the Orphans

The Power of Story

September 15, 2019 / michellegunnin / 1 Comment

  Story is defined as an account of past events in someone's life or in the evolution of something. A good story has complex characters, action that builds, an exciting storyline, and surprising plot twists. We don’t often think of our lives as a story, but they are, which is why great stories resonate with us.  Whether … Continue reading The Power of Story

Entering Ethiopia

September 9, 2019 / michellegunnin / 1 Comment

Making our way from the city of Addis Ababa landed us in traffic which resembles chaos.  Vehicles of all kinds weaving in and out cutting one another off makes for a hair-raising ride.  It is easier to trust the driver and look away.  Gazing out the window gives more understanding of this place anyway.  There … Continue reading Entering Ethiopia

Circle of Light

August 1, 2019August 1, 2019 / michellegunnin / 3 Comments

It is amazing to me how little light it takes to shatter darkness.  The smallest spark creates a point of light where once there was none.  Then the spark lights a candle which, when it begins to burn, provides a circle of light.  Each candle carries its own arch, and as it travels down the … Continue reading Circle of Light

About Me

Michelle’s Mosaic is a place of grace. It is a place where I process the broken pieces of my life as I watch and wonder at God’s great mercy to create something beautiful
