A long time ago, I won a beautiful Vintage Pearl necklace for telling a story about how we were one of "those" families. I also read along as one of my favorite family/DIY bloggers went on a Compassion Trip to Kenya. At a conference I had the opportunity to meet Kristen Welch and tell her how much I had been changed and inspired by what she was doing with Mercy House. Since then, I've been honored to share the word about her books like Rhinestone Jesus and Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled ... [Read More]
