So if we’re going to get after our dreams, we need a way to spur ourselves to action.

I want to help others discover that even a bumpy, crooked path can lead us back to Jesus and an abundant, not merely cobbled-together, life. My personal journey is the evidence I offer.

  11. Wonderful stuff. I’m still working on mine (have been for the last, oh, 30 seconds LOL), but I believe it goes something like this: “I am inspired to empower children through story.” Will tweet and FB this :). Thanks!
