i'd love to have you over at pinkhairedgirl.net ... don't even have to ask.

on time.
except to work.
i am almost always late to work.

Last week when I went out to deliver coats/blankets to the homeless in my community, I received a very quick awakening to the sad reality of what is in my backyard. I knew there was poverty in the world. But to see it 20 minutes away from my big, warm house—wrecked me.

God intends for us to be wrecked. He wants our hearts to break for what breaks His. His is breaking over Haiti, and His breaking over the homeless man living under a tarp, along the highway in inner-city Kansas City.

In Numbers 22, God used a jackass to save a life ... and He can use all of us too.

I am so excited for everything that God is allowing you to take on in 2010. You will thrive in all areas.

My challenge is finishing up the book I am writing. Having talks with a publisher. Exciting times :)

2009 was sad. In fact... the entire decade was sad. Hoping 2010 is the beginning of something better.
