Go check out a few of my Philippine stories...



Hey guys! Just wanted to let you all know that I have frequently been posting a few of my personal stories from the Philippines in the Philippine Story tab! I hope you all enjoy reading them. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share them with you, and hope you might get something out of them, whether it be an inspiration or a good laugh.

P.S.
I stole this picture from Kelsey! You should go check her out at A Few of My Favorite Things!

One Hundred Six



A few days ago my mom was listening to Wizard 106.7 as she was headed to work. On this particular morning,  Kelli and Roadkill Bill were trying to find ten people in our area to commit themselves to helping Le Bonheur Children's Hospital raise at least $106 each.  Mom thought it would be a terrific thing for our family and friends to help out with, so she called me and I signed us up!

A little about Le Bonheur...
LeBonheur is a non profit, regional pediatric medical center which provides 225 patient beds and 45 medical subspecialties. In 2010 alone, Le Bonheur treated  more that 130,000 children, the majority of which were younger than five years old.  Children come from all fifty states to Le Bonheur in search of medical help. 
"Le Bonheur Children's Hospital has developed and maintains the largest surgical brain tumor program in the United States.  Pediatric surgeons at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital use the most advanced technology and work in conjunction with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for multidisciplinary therapy for brain tumors."
Every single dollar that I raise will go toward helping  benefit the children in Le Bonheur.  As I said...I committed to raising $106. I only need eleven people to commit to give $10 to make that happen; however, I would really, really love to raise a lot more than that, so if you can give..please do :) This is for a very, very good cause. I encourage you to help out!

What is true beauty?



Hi! I recently found a blog that I would love to share with you! It's called wonderfullymade. I found it very encouraging, and hope you will too! Today, we sometimes have to be reminded that we are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made. I hope you find this as uplifting as I did :)

Pretty weather makes me want to...Take Pictures!


The temperatures have gotten a lot cooler, and I just can't make myself sit inside for long periods of time. It's just too beautiful outside not to be out enjoying it.  As I was sitting on the front porch a couple of days ago, I got this crazy urge to get out in the yard and take a few pictures. I got a few snapshots of our beautiful dogs, Daisy and Hank, and then decided to head down the road to my grandparents. I knew they would have plenty of random things for me to photograph and have a little fun with! They didn't let me down...Hehe :) Hope you enjoy my randomness!

Hank
She's a beauty!
I decided to go to my grandparents house for a few more pictures of things other than my beautiful dogs. My grandma makes bird houses such as these.
Yes, my grandmother has an outhouse...it's most only there for looks :)
My grandparents all kinds of fun things sitting around, such as this old mailbox.

I know...I'm a slacker..



Hi all :)

I am so sorry I have been absent from my blog for so long now. I feel like I have let those of you down you actually are interested in my ramblings about my life; however, my life has been a bit crazy, and I have had pretty much zero computer time! Since I have last blogged, I have been back in the Philippines! It was a blast, and I cannot wait to tell you about it! It was such a joy to return to the home of the happiest people in the world. I am so excited to tell you many of my stories. It is very over whelming to me to think of all of the God stories I have. I would love to share everyone of them with you, and as soon as possible; however, that is a huge task. I will try my best to balance both keeping you updated with what's currently going on in my life, as well as Philippine stories. Within the next week, I will try my best to type up a couple of the stories and post them under the "Philippine Stories" tab! If anyone happens to read this before tomorrow night, I would like to invite you to hear some of my stories in person. The entire Philippine team from East Marietta Baptist Church will be sharing a few stories, as well as showing pictures and videos, tomorrow night, August 14, at 6:00 p.m. I would love for you to come! Meanwhile, you are in my prayers :)
