Kelly! ha ha. . . .

And, I agree, I love hearing stories from other people, too- especially about how they are simply doing life in another country. I think it’s all really fascinating. I guess kinda voyeuristic of me, but . . .

**sheepish grin**

Nailed to the wall. My excuse in China was always that blogs were a security risk and yet… hmmmm… WE were kicked out of China. And, well, many of my blog-writing friends in China are still…. there. And I’ve been out of China for more than a year now. But… but… but … no more excuses.

Oh poo.

See you tomorrow.

I love reading missionary blogs . I want to be an overseas missionary someday too, so I read to see what’s it like in the day to day life for those already serving. I’d like to start a blog, but I am not sure what I would blog about right now lol. So I say I’ll wait till I’m doing more interesting things with my life besides school and work. As far as financially giving, for me I like to see “the needs” of that ministry, and see the affect the ministry is having on others. Then it inspires me to donate so you can continue, blessing others.

AMEN!

(Sorry. You can take the girl out of the Baptist church, but you can’t take the Baptist church out of the girl.)

I love reading missionary blogs. Not only does it connect me to the people I support – financially or otherwise – but I get a window into what God is doing through their hands and feet and in their hearts. It’s priceless. And it makes the world seem so small.

Fabulous post! I hope it’s heeded.

yea, I’ve lived in Uganda for just over two years. It’s been the most wonderful and challenging season of my life as I’m sure you can appreciate. But I love it and am here indefinitely. We work in slums trying to bring transformation in whatever way we can and are seeing God do unbelievable things. I’m loving following your blog and what you’re doing!! Huge blessings on your family and ministry!!

Yes, I hope you and Matt get to meet my wife one day soon. You two were always an inspiration to me in my high school years of what a marriage could look like between two people who genuinely love each other and want to be with one another.

And 1, 3, and 5 were much more theoretical/goal-ish than actually happening. I work with someone who is really quite a negative person with a really sad outlook on the world. I hope that at least once a day I can turn something around that he says into something positive. Most of the time though I just try to resist getting sucked into the negativity.
