Get Your Year-End Donations Done Early!

Now is a great time to spread some Christmas cheer. Yes, I KNOW that November has just begun, but think of what a difference you can make between now and Christmas!

I would like to know what you do to spread Christmas cheer. Just comment below, and I may feature your comment in a future post! Need some ideas for what to do? Read my article here, courtesy of Seattle P-I, for some inspiration of easy projects that you or your family can do!

Photography Contest!


I just found out about a cool contest from this blog! I can enter up to three pictures, and while I had a really hard time choosing just three, the ones that I did choose really display the beauty that the Lord has allowed me to see. So here they are; unedited, unfiltered, all awesome!
The above one was taken in the Mexican farmlands, about five weeks ago while on a mission trip to an orphanage for the handicapped placed in this gorgeous desert valley.
This was taken in July, when I was able to ride a hot air balloon for the very first time! My region was having a balloon rally, so it was really cool to see so many balloons fill the sky.
This last one was taken while on a hike at a local historic trail. (It's on a hill, that's why some of the trees are growing sideways!)

Thanks for taking a look at my pictures! I'd love to hear your comments!
