Time Wisely Spent

Time Wisely Spent #Compassionbloggers

Why is it that whenever God gives me a job to do I always allow myself to get all worked up into a frenzy?

My biggest fear in the world is speaking in public.

Tomorrow is Compassion Sunday at my church and in order to present the kids waiting for sponsors I am going to have to speak in public.

Last week I was feeling excited for the opportunity to share these children with my church and not…

Wow, talk about a heart for mothers. Posts like Ashley's really make me see how blessed I am to be a mom. For me, it truly was the best thing to happen to me. My oldest will be 19 this month too. It really does take a village of moms to raise these beautiful children. Mothers we are not alone. I sure hope Ashley @underthesycamore doesn't mind me sharing this beautiful family photo. Why don't you head on over to her blog and find out how her day 1 experience went. Don't forget to grab the tissues. And let's remember to pray for them, their sons and the rest of the Compassion Bloggers team. @flowerpatchfarmgirl @gracelaced @underthesycamore #compassionbloggers #Ecuador

"You learn a lot about someone by what they put on their walls, even when they have very little." ~Ruth Simons I hope Ruth @gracelaced doesn't mind me sharing a photo from her blog post about her Day 1 trip in Ecuador.

I hope Shannan @flowerpatchfarmgirl doesn't mind me sharing this beautiful photo from her blog on her Day 1 trip to Ecuador. I was extremely captivated by these beautiful faces in these beautiful skirts and blouses. Go on over to her blog #flowerpatchfarmgirl.com and read her beautiful post. I was right when I said that the words these ladies would pen or type would leap off of the pages right into our hearts. Well, it did mine. You'll just have to go see for yourself. Well.......go on! #Ecuadortrip #compassionbloggers #flowerpatchfarmgirl

Trusting is Believing, My One Word for 2016

Trusting is Believing, My One Word for 2016 - #bgbg2 #CompassionBloggers

In 2009 Compassion started a tradition that focused on one word  for each year. Two weeks ago I received a blog writing prompt that encouraged me to spend time with the Lord and ask for his guidance as to what word he would choose for me in the coming new year. Though I have never really chosen a word in advance usually by the end of each year I find that there was a particular theme that my year…

Unexpected Loan Payback ~ Day 1, Casa de Pan

Unexpected Payback of a Loan ~ Day 1 Casa de Pan #CompassionBlogger #CompassionInternational

As our van pulled up I noticed there seemed to be a celebration going on. Outside the windows  I could see a line of people and suddenly I realized the celebration was actually the people of the church waiting to greet us! The greeters were all dressed in their Sunday best and they were holding balloons, and had excited smiles of welcome on their faces..

As I got off the bus it felt really…
