September Sunday Funday

This week's vlog was about my birthday, and all the great people we got to share it with (over a couple of different days):

We also celebrated 4 years of Moments for Moms, a ministry for mothers of Living Stones kids in Cajueiro Claro:

As you all, in the USA celebrate Labor day this weekend/Monday, we are finally getting to celebrate Independence Day on Thursday (September 7th). Our family is excited for this vacation time:). For some bad news: we knew my laptop was dead, but thought they could save the data--nope. Nutin:(. Fortunately, I backed everything up in April, so the damage was limited. 

Reads from the Interwebs:

1. The weight of privilege: weeping with those who lost so much in Texas. Love this lady, and her awesome suggestions of how to help.

2. Ten reasons why our good intentions to help poverty backfire

3. Minimalistic Wrestlings: thoughts from my good friend Karianne

4. Fostering Love: thoughts from my good friend Rachel S. 

Have a wonderful week!
