A thousand times… YES!
You know, it’s not often that I reshare something that I’ve stumbled upon on facebook or the internets. But today I am going to share something I found tonight. The words say: ”I find the whole concept of being ‘sexy’ embarrassing and confusing. If I do an interview with photographs people desperately want to change me — dye my hair blonder, pluck my eyebrows, give me a fringe. Then there’s the choice of clothes.

Read MoreIt’s a wrap!
With 2011 coming to a close, I’m forced (quite literally) to start to wrap everything up. Not only the presents (Christmas and two birthday’s in quick succession) but all the writerly things of 2011 in preparation for 2012. In reflection, 2011 has been a completely amazing year. It was a hard year but so many amazing things took place. My year started off in Ethiopia on a short term mission, with long term vision. Our church, Living Way Fellowship, is building a school for a remote village in Gojjo Ethiopia… and this was our vision trip to see what needed to be done and to...

Read MoreHaiti is still in need, but how can you help?
My dear friend Caroline Valdez Miller has been called to go on a Medical Mission to Haiti. As one can expect, making the commitment for a trip of this caliber is hard. Not only do you have to raise money for airfare, food, and accommodations but they have to raise money for medical supplies. They are going up to a remote village in Haiti that people don’t travel to. It’s two hours on foot and they are bringing things that you and I take for granted. Things that we can purchase over the counter for just a few dollars. Vitamins, pain relievers, band-aids, gauze, antibacterial...
Read MoreRunning the Race
You hear a lot in society about running a good race. Maybe the race is your job, your writing career, your family, your illness… everyone says, “run a good race”!! The question is, what does a good race look like? To some people a good race is a fast one where they come out on top regardless of the circumstances around them.
