It’s official!
On Sunday morning Michael and I will board a plane headed to Bogota, Colombia along with a team from Compassion International.
We’ll spend the week visiting some of Compassion’s Child Development Centers, talking with some of their Leadership Development students and dropping by the homes of some of the families whose lives have been changed by having a child enrolled in one of Compassion’s programs. Michael and I will even be able to visit Yully, one of our sponsor children. The thought of seeing her sweet face in person is enough to bring me to tears.
Those of you who read my blog regularly know that I’ve been a longtime Compassion sponsor and that I’ve always wanted to see Compassion’s work up close. One of the most exciting parts of this trip for me is that I get to bring YOU with me. I’ll be blogging live from Bogota starting sometime on Monday.
Every day next week I’ll write a new post about the things I’ve seen and experienced. You will have the opportunity to see some of the children, hear their stories and experience the triumph that comes from releasing people from poverty in the name of Jesus.
I would love for you to make it a point to drop by the blog each day next week and for you to share my posts from Bogota with friends and family members by emailing them a link or posting it on Facebook or Twitter. If you have any questions about the things you see in my posts, please feel free to ask them in the comments section below. I will do my best to answer them. Our team will also be having a Q & A time with those in the Compassion field office on Thursday so I will be able to ask any questions I don’t know the answer to then.
If you want to come along on this journey with me but fear you might forget to check my blog, you can sign up to receive my posts right in your email inbox by filling out the form to the right of this post.
Thank you for your prayers. Leave me a comment and let me know if you’re following my journey. I would love to know who I’m taking with me.
I’ll see you from Colombia!

One of the best ways that I have found to stay motivated is by using a training journal. This way you can track your progress week for week, and ensure you make the necessary changes to each workout.
The state of Georgia guarantees all insured citizens the right to be reimbursed for all the damages caused by the owner of an uninsured vehicle. All damages, be they property damage, personal injury or even wrongful death, that might have occurred as a result of the accident can be recovered from the uninsured party as per the automobile laws in Georgia. Another interesting law that has been passed by the state of Georgia ensures that in the event an accident involves two federal employees, the amount to be reimbursed can be deducted from the liability insurance up to a certain limit. This is when the subrogation liens provided by the federal government are counted as part of the reimbursement amount calculation. The insurance company would cover the rest of the amount to make up for the whole reimbursement cost.
