I'm blogging, I think

        How does one start their first blog post... I have at least attempted this first sentence about twenty times now. And do not even get me started on all the fonts, colors, backgrounds, sidebars, etc. options!

*insert smooth, witty transition*
       
      One month from today I will be in the Philippines serving as a Young Adult Volunteer, (just a heads up I will interchangeably use YAV or young adult volunteer but know they are the same).
There will be four of us YAVs serving in the Philippines as "community development interns," Mallory and myself will spend a majority of our time in the city of Dumaguete, Abby will be a couple hours away in the mountains, and Duncan will be in Manilla most of the time. Although our locations and placements will be varied, our goals will carry a common thread of sharing in the love and joy with all those we encounter.



                                                 
       And I invite all of you to join me and be a part of my service journey. Whether it's through thoughtful words, prayer, donation, or reading this blog, please come along and share in this incredible experience with me!


Here are a couple of links I highly recommend:
