We currently have a partnership in Cambodia -- but would love to broaden that to Burma in the next 5- 7 years. Praying about dreaming about what that may look like! I also dream and pray about people whom I speak with grasping this love for our neighbors and living it out in new and creative ways in their churches/communities/families/ etc... ! Fun contest!!

He once ordered a pair of hot pink high tops but was shipped a pair of white aerobics shoes that were supposed to go to Puerto Rico. Sadly, he never did get the high tops. As far as dreams go, I dream of making a difference and fearlessly pursuing God's purpose for my life. What I feel like that looks like is through writing, and I'm working on a novel that I will submit to His will, whatever that may be. I'd love for speaking and writing to be my other "gig" (besides mothering!) but I worry that it'll take more than I have. I'm waiting on God's timing. Not that you don't already know all that, but now it's "on the record." Sharing this contest! First of all, about the shoes … my husband would love to compare converse collections.

I fixed it, I believe. Last year with my siblings we agreed to do alternative gifts and decided to choose a gift that was meaningful because of the person it was donated to (for instance, we gave a donation to a equestrian therapy group in honor of my sister-in-law because she loves horses). It was cool, except one relative didn't do it, but gave gifts instead, which was a bit awkward. I plan to suggest it again this year. Thanks, Lisa, for the heads up on the link.

As for how to help, wow! That seems overwhelming at times, but when we lived in Illinois, I interviewed a man who was on a mission to inspire Christians to give "a little more" for this sort of change. Giving up things like soda or coffee and using the money you'd spend on that for a poverty issue. Phil & I have a heart to stop giving "just because" Christmas gifts, especially where extended family is concerned. We've suggested at his extended family get together, taking a collection per family and buying a goat or something like that from Samaritan's Purse. We haven't yet convinced our families to do this, but I think Christmas is a place to start. Thanks for sharing about this book! (And FYI, the link to the 58 getting started page isn't working. I looked it up, but I thought you'd want to know.) I’ve been hearing a little bit about this book, and I’d love to read it! As for how to help, wow!
