love this "story" community + keep it coming

pretty magical. 

the past few days the weather has been dreamy.
snowy, overcast, perfect coffee by the fire type weather.

after this pic was taken, my sweet Camp got tubes in his ears (thanks for the prayers - are we instagram firends yet...we should be...wynne4), my hubby got sick, and my sweet Asher girl too.  (oh, and Eli the dog - so fun waking up to about 9 piles of dog dodo in my studio)

so I've pretty much been homebound the past few days, and I have LOVED reading all of your STORIES on the comments from my "nice to meet you" post.  
I have literally gone through EVERY SINGLE comment (and they are still pouring in!), visited your blog, connected with you and been totally humbled and in awe that we get to walk this life together.

seriously!  yall have amazing stories + I'm so thankful for you sharing your hearts.
one thing I love is connecting people - so I am new to this "reply" comment thing on the post, but I tried it out & I love it.
So go back to the post, and join the conversation.
and look through others stories because I'm petty sure so many of you have so much in common.

I'd love for this space not to be just about ME telling MY story, but all of you telling yours.
so comment, reply to each others comments, let's be in community!
*I am a pinterest girl + I started a brand new board after being inspired by all of your stories called "stories"  and you can find it here.

I think it's so cool how God works.
Right before we found out we were cleared for embassy, my husband I went on a little road trip.
and we brainstormed.  and I talked about how much I love hearing and telling peoples stories.  and being challenged by people. and LIVING a better story.  

have yall read this book yet?
well, I'm re reading it because it's that good.
it's a book about living a better STORY!
*I also have a link for books that changed me here (at the bottom).

anyway!  we brainstormed this really amazing way to share our stories on this space.
and our little trip to Ethiopia + first few weeks home with the babes delayed that a bit, but I'm really excited to share it with you TOMORROW!

I call it, the ANY BODY campaign.
and i can't wait to share it with you.

it's simply about this -
sharing stories, encouraging, challenging, connecting, telling the stories HE wrote for us. 

so keep sharing yours with us here.  we are all in this together.
and check back tomorrow for all the details of this amazing project God laid on my heart!!
