The other day, Thomas and I were walking to the market trying to gather up some food between rain showers. Just outside the market, a little girl, about three years old, looked up at me and called "Manang!" I bent down to greet her in return when she excitedly hurried up to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a hug. She continued to give me numerous hugs as we talked. It was difficult to leave my new friend. I would have happily taken her home with me. We did not have a camera with us, but I will store in my heart the love she showered upon me. We had never met before, yet she greeted me with the Ilocano term of endearment for big sister.

This blog is dedicated to sharing what God has done, and is doing, in our lives. We desire our lives to be a place where we grow to be more like God: full of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This is not a one time, red letter day on the calendar. No, this is a process. This is a journey we are on with Jesus.
