I am committed to my kids, that when I leave this place they will know Jesus better than they did before I got here; that they will love Jesus more than they did before I got here and that they live Jesus louder than they did before I got here.
I am committed. I like to finish what I start but I am learning that in this profession being committed usually means jumping in to the journey God starts, and letting him finish it.
Life is not a coloring page, or chocolate ice cream, or a book, but it is a journey with God to draw near to us. I am committed to being near to God.

Hi Mandy. I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Lavinia and right now I live in Romania (I will let you locate it on the map :-)). About a year and a half ago I came across your blog and feel like we have been friends ever since. God's blessings.
Dear Mandy,
Thanks for the picture, and I agree -- it was good to see you too. You need to hurry up and write a book. Give this world your 2 cents and inspiration. Don't hesitate to give me call whenever you are in town if you ever want to go out to grab a bite.
Sorry. There were a few type-o's so I had to delete my first comment.
