The End of the Summer...very hot summer...


I suck at blogging consistently.

That is all I will say about that.


What a summer....hot, sticky, and BUSY. What a summer. Major highlight, I went to Haiti twice with Soles4Souls to distribute shoes. What a summer. I could write a book about Haiti. But I won't. All I will say is that it was a life-altering experience. That country has been through pure hell....and yet, the people of Haiti are some of the most joyful, gentle, loving folks I have ever met. It was amazing. And as crazy as it sounds, I could stay there for a long time. Love is growing there, in the midst of the rubble, hunger and poverty....love is blossoming there.

What a summer, I have reunited with my passion for reading. And among some of the gems I have read this summer, here are a few that have rocked my world....

The Blind Side
The Me I Want to Be
The Shack
Mrs. Whaley's Garden
The Traveler's Gift

What a summer, what a year. I am learning so much. Some of it is very pleasant and lovely, and some is not so much. Some of my education strips away at my pride, causes me to look inward, makes me rely on my Creator more and more, and reminds me constantly that there IS a big picture for all of this.

What a summer....how was yours?
