I love to travel. I come by it naturally, my parents passed along a serious case of wanderlust to me and my sister. I love adventure. I love meeting people. I love seeing the world. I love experiencing different places and cultures. And I love trying exotic cuisines, unfamiliar restaurants. I love the fresh perspective […]
Today I am guest posting over at Deeper Story, Tales of Christ and Culture. It is an incredible collection of intimate stories from some of my favorite bloggers. Go check it out, and get lost. I am honored that they are allowing me to share from time to time. A couple of months ago at […]
Below is a few things that stuck out to me from my second day of panels and presentations at South by Southwest. If you would like to check out my notes from Day One, click here.

My only excuse is that I got about half way through a draft and then got sucked into the craziness that is Catalyst West. Orange County was absolutely beautiful. I ate In-N-Out Burger twice. […]
Making my way towards California for Catalyst West and have finally found the first quiet time to begin to process, to deconstruct, everything I took in at Idea Camp: Orphan Care. What an incredible couple of days. I’m so glad I followed God’s nudging and ventured out to Northwest Arkansas (which surprisingly is a pretty […]
This morning I received a package of miscellaneous things from my mom (oh, if only you could see the wonderfully random things she sends my way). And in the package with a torn out article from the Wall Street Journal with a sticky note attached “Interesting article, Mom.” At first glance I thought it was […]
As soon as I was asked to go to Guatemala with Compassion International last fall, I began cyber-stalking the other bloggers have a better grasp of who would be on the trip.
