World Vision Bloggers

A few weeks ago I was the guest judge for Scribbit’s Write Away contest. She interviewed me about my blog and my *ahem* blogging career. She asked, “What changes have you see in blogging?” And as part of my super long answer I said, “Moms have seen that a blog can be more than a journal or a way to win free stuff. Blogging can be a vehicle, a tool and an agent for change.”

I hope my own blog has gone through that metamorphosis. I hope I’ve made others aware of more than TV shows and special edition oreos. I want to use my blog to show others the things that are really important to me. As much as I think you should love LOST, I think you should love Jesus. I think everyone should plan elaborate birthday parties for their kids—but I want you to honor your children and show them the most love you can.

I’ve gone on bloggy trips to learn about diapers, chocolate and Mickey Mouse. And although I was pleased to do so, I am ecstatic to tell you that I’ve been invited on a missions trip with World Vision. Four other fabu bloggers (Andrea, Briana, Jill and Jessica) along with author Matthew Paul Turner will be traveling to the Dominican Republic the first week of May. We’ll be visiting World Visions’ community programs, the “river slums” and most importantly the children. Oh. The children.

I’m so honored. And nervous. I want to communicate effectively the amazing opportunity we have: to help children and their families, to bring them out of poverty and towards Jesus.

I’ll keep you updated with info as I get it. But for now, start praying for us. For World Vision and the kids that YOU will meet. If you’d like, you can meet some of them now.

    wished we had the opportunity to talk more at Blissdom – I look forward to following your journey – my husband and I have been praying about where God might call us to go … it’s both a heavy and exciting opportunity to help make an impact … my new song Heaven Knows My Name is released to benefit Haiti 100% will go to HealingHaiti.org – a local ministry we support
