I have truly enjoyed reading your blog, even if I have just started reading. I hate that you are going through this again, but love that you are so transparent on the blog and are open about sharing your faith with those of us reading.
And I love #s 7,8 and 9 on this random list.
I really think I'd like you if we knew each other in real life. I can tell you are a special person.
Praying for you during this very difficult time.
Much love,

I totally agree with you about going to Guatemala (but not about fruity mentos- I prefer minty). I've wanted to go since the first trip we sent. I went with DBU as a senior in college (I transferred there after 2 yrs at HSU- don't know if you knew that) to an orphanage in Xela, Guatemala and I LOVED it! Maybe next year when you are all better we can go together! For now, you can pray for me as I prepare to go with the Baylor School of Social Work to Kenya in May. I'm going to get to see all the different things Buckner is doing in this small town/village of Kitale: a community center with a public water well, an orphanage, an inexpensive private school, a foster care and kinship care program, two health clinics, a home-based care program, and more. It's a lot, and I'm really excited to see it first-hand after hearing so much about it. I'm also going to see Nairobi, including its largest slum, where Buckner is also doing community work-- kinda nervous about that. I would appreciate your prayers as I prepare for the trip!
