I dont listen to current music/radio so I have no idea if this song is overplayed, but I just heard it for the first time and I have to say... AMEN!

I am OBSESSED. I love her.

I dont have a tattoo (yet).

The closest I have come was making an appointment when I was living in Perth, Australia.

I realized shortly after I made the appointment that I had VERY limited money and should probably NOT spend $200, especially since I had been sleeping on the beach to avoid paying a hostel for the night (another story, for another time).

Any-who...

The husband and I have been looking into getting something done, and these are some pics of ones that I LOVE. What do you think?

Oh, and I should mention, my blog URL has changed, in case you didnt notice :)

I really didn't want my name in it anymore, for whatever reason, so late one night I changed it to madetogo.blogspot.com...obviously.

Wanna know why?

Because the longer and harder Andrew and I pray about our life's calling, the more we know that we are made to GO!

We are NOT made for suburban life, raising children and staying within 10 KMs of our family. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

In fact, some days I WISH that was our calling, it seems so much easier and more comfortable!

But no, we are not called to that. We might do that for a while, but we feel (and I have always felt) that I am called to GO and make disciples of the nations.

Thankfully, my dear husband has the same calling and so...we are made To GO!

Ever heard of Sseko?!

Well you HAVE to check them out!

I just bought these sandals!

(shhh, dont tell my husband!)

Not only are the sandals an AWESOME concept, but there is such an amazing mission behind it!

Ive decided these will be my luxery item for our trip around the world!

(Ps. Michelle I LOVE you and your US addy! Expect these in the mail in the next 7 days!)

"You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you,

but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart,

your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world,

but a world lives in you"
