IT’S MARCH!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I just can’t contain my excitement because I. Love. March. Birthdays galore {including Double J, Samson (our Compassion child), Dr. Seuss, the state of Nebraska, and me!}, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter – so much to love!
Oh, and since it’s March that means our Nickels for Nets challenge wrapped up yesterday and we have a final tally for you!
Our original goal was five nets, then a friend in a nearby city offered to collect there so we could double our goal to ten nets! We needed $80 total and we collected…
$86.65
WOOHOO!!! Big J and I were so thrilled when we did the final count last night! A HUGE thank you to all the old friends and family and new friends and librarians who donated this month! You made my big guy’s face and heart light up and you are changing the lives of the children who will receive these nets!
If you collected for Nickels for Nets, make sure you head over to Amanda’s place to share your total! You can either link up a blog post or picture with your total here or leave a comment with your total here!
Amanda is kicking off a new Monthly Mission on Monday – go check it out and get your kids involved! It’s a really cool one!

And one more exciting launch happening today…
Holley Gerth’s amazing book You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream: Opening the Door to All God Has for You is finally on sale for you to grab!
I am just eating this book up! If you need someone to cheer you on as you go after your God-sized dream, Holley is your woman and this book is just what you need.
Not sure what your dream is? Get this book.
Thinking your dream is small or insignificant? Get this book.
Afraid of failing and being rejected? Get this book.
If you’ve been following my God-sized dream journey at all, you know I’ve felt all of these things. Holley has spoken to each of these areas through You’re Made for a God-Sized Dream, with love and encouragement and even a kick in the pants when I needed it, but done with lots of grace, of course!
I really do hope you’ll pick up your own copy and be inspired to draw closer to God through the dreams He has for you to pursue!

Now for the important question of the day…

We have birthdays galore in our family this month too! But my favorite thing is having the kids home with me for a little more than a week during spring break! We make a big deal of it and have a staycation, complete with our at-home pretend hotel!
Erin, I totally read this post and didn’t comment. Anywhoo, I’m so glad we did the Nickels for Nets together…adding your total to the grand total now! 😉
