My favorite little girl in Bluefields, Nicaragua


[2010] She sat there like an angel, and while her momma worked in the trash, she held their lunch.



[2011] While momma worked, she sat on a crate in the trash pile...and held a pretty umbrella like a fairy tale princess.



[One day] She will grow up and likely join the other ladies in her community, holding huge sticks as they sort through the trash.



Yet, no matter where she will be or what she will be doing, the Creator of the Universe will hold her!!!!!


Oh hey you!

Hi sweet little blog,

Oh? You don't recognize me--that's because I have been avoiding you and pretending that you don't exist. Yup, I have been a terrible blog tender/momma. And I have no shame in admitting it. No excuses, either- Actually, only thoughts of all the glorious things I could have blogged about--

Perhaps, I could have given a lively recount of the time I danced in a cafe in Istanbul with some of my dearest friends and we ended up on Korean television {don't worry, it was the kind of dancing that you would dance at your pastor's birthday party]. Or I could have throw some heart melting stories about all the babies in my life. Ohhh, I would have probably wrote charming post about all the new recipes that have been stirring up in my kitchen. There may have been a post that would have made dog lovers smile, and dog haters frown- it would have involved a dog/on a 7 hour flight/ sitting on passengers feet...and more!!!!!


Sorry you missed out on all of that, but onwards & upwards. Right?

Little blog, despite everything that you are coming against you will be happy to know that you are going to have a very bright future. Because, I woke up in 2012 with an urgency in my heart to honor Christ, to honor His (and our) Father by writing about what He has done & is doing. I only have one earth life to know Him & what He has done in this capacity. Only one earth life to celebrate, rejoice in, and proclaim about how my Jesus has rescued me from the garbage pit. Only one earth life to boast in the fact it's no longer I, but Christ. And oh so much more-- You were made for rejoicing, rejoice you will!

Cheer's to your glorious future, little blog! Let's eat the Lamb together in front of the world, all day & night.
