What treasures there are from my textured past! I can pull from my life and find such interesting relationships; most can bring a smile to my face and some probably make me cringe. I love the idea that each and every interaction we have in life is on purpose. That we can influence someone and play a part in their story, good or bad, is fascinating.

Through Facebook, I’ve recently come across my summer camp counselor that had a major impact on my faith in God. She was beautiful to me and I’m thrilled to have found her again. I also found the cute face of my 5th grade boyfriend! My mom saved a Valentine’s Day card that he gave me 🙂 Technology has certainly aided in keeping in touch with people from ages ago. My husband is anti-MySpace, but I think there’s lots of fun to be had and lots of memories to recall through those online outlets.

The same thing goes with this Blogging idea. What a fun and interesting way to understand someone. My friend Courtney shares her life as a photographer and as a mother to a little one with CF. I’m encouraged by her and often times inspired. I’m glad she and so many others are part of my story. God is an amazing author.
