Ahhh, it’s Friday! Doesn’t matter how short the week is, Friday is always fabulous. I’ve got two big things on my mind this weekend. 1) Guatemala and my friend Lindsey Lindsey is on the Compassion bloggers trip this week and I’ve been praying for God to do some incredible things in her life and in […]
