My kids are VERY creative. Being homeschooled, they usually had 2-3 hours of school work and the rest of the time they goofed off ... or entertained themselves. Creativity is the result. They write songs, write stories, read, and do video productions ... just for fun.

Also, they've recently "taken over" their youth group's drama department. This week Cory, Leslie, and Nathan are doing a skit on the theme "I am Bold." Nathan (14) has amnesia and he is very timid. The other two tell me that he's actually an accomplished and well-known person, and they enourage him to Be Bold.

The point of the message, of course, is to remind us who we are in Christ. Sometimes we forget.
Okay, most of the time we forget.

Anyway, here are a few of the illustrations the kids came up to to prove Nathan's success. I thought they were great!

My family and a group from our church are missioning off to the Czech republic this summer!

We'll be teaching English and sharing the good news of Jesus. Please pray for our group, our trip, and for the hearts of the Czech people to be open to the message of God. I'm super excited to see what God does in our own hearts and for the people we get to minister to.

If you would like to be added to our prayer team or would like to make a donation for our trip, please email triciagoyer@yahoo.com. We will be gone July 24th-August 11th, and the cost is $3000 per person. We're having an auction fundraiser in two weeks, if any of you have anything (books, services, gift cards) you'd like to donate to our silent auction, that would be rad! Shoot me an email.

Also pray for my two oldest kids. They will fly from The Czech Republic to San Diego to meet up with their youth group going to Mexico to build two homes for families. Pray for the added funds (and strength!) needed for Cory (19) and Leslie (16)!

This is from 1.20.97. It was written the day after I gave my testimony about my abortion for the very first time in my church. I was terrified, but afterward God showed me how my story touched the people in the congregation. Now through articles, interviews, Life Interrupted, and My Life, Unscripted I continue to tell my story. Who knew?

God did!!!

"But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" Exodus 3:11

"Who am I Lord to do your work?" It is a universal question that brings us at odds with ourselves. We recognize we must be humble knowing we are nothing without God, yet we must also recognize we should be courageous knowing it is by God's strength that we succeed. D.L. Moody put it this way:
"Moses spent:
Forty years thinking he was somebody.
Forty years learning he was nobody.
Forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody."

Let me save you the time. You in yourself ARE nobody. In Christ you are somebody . . . somebody God can use.

God may not call you to be a great leader, but you may see your calling as just as intimidating. "Who am I?" may escape from you lips too. Listen to God's answer, "I will be with you . . . ."

No matter who you are. No matter what God is asking you to do, or to say, or to write--God is with you and that is enough.

"Who am I?" you ask. You are God's chosen vessel.

CONTEST!

YOU CAN WIN A $25 iPod GIFT CERTIFICATE

Here's what you have to do. Read My Life, Unscripted by Tricia Goyer, and then write a review on her book and post it on your blog, myspace, shoutlife, or amazon.com. Sounds easy right? It really is. (Please forward this contest to any teens you think might be interested!) To obtain a copy of My Life, Unscripted you can visit amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or check into your local Christian book store.

My Life, Unscripted explores relationships in every teenage girl's life--with herself, her friends and enemies, her parents, guys, and with God. Real-life scripts, screenwriting terms, and timely topics, make this an interesting read for teen girls as they delve into their own inner struggles and outward relationships. They'll also learn the importance of "scripting" their own responses BEFORE challenging life-situations arise and are able to think about, pray about, and consider how to face these situations before the scene begins. By contrasting real-life with TV or movies, teens will understand they don't have to get caught up in the drama. In addition to the review, you may also include how you, too, have overcome temptation.

Many will enter

only Three will Win

Contest Begins NOW!

People think I'm crazy ... seriously they do. I can't tell them about all the book ideas I have or possible projects coming down the pipeline ... otherwise they'll start hyperventaling.

People may wonder why I write. Is it to get famous? No way. Because I enjoy living by one crazy deadline to another? Uh, no. Is it because I really enjoy asking my husband to pick up pizza on the way home ... or perhaps just as a way to make sure I never get a coffee date with friends? Not even close.

I write so much--so many different things--because I am compelled by the love of Christ. In fact when I was doing my Bible Study today one verse especially resonated with me:

"For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels me ..." 2 Corinthians 5:14 (Amplified)

That's not to say I love God more and so I write more. (Not even close!!!) BUT when I get a new idea--and when an opportunity comes up to write something that will glorify God, share His love, and encourage others in their relationship with Christ--I HAVE TO say Yes. I HAVE TO follow. My whole soul burns within me until I do. I know when God is asking me to join Him ... and it would be disobedient not to do so.

This is my path and mine alone. It's a path of obedience to the messages He places on my heart. A path of desperation, because I can't write ONE WORD without Him. It's a path of connecting with the family of God, as God brings others alongside me to help me. (And, boy, do I need help!)

It's also on this path on which I've experienced God in amazing ways, mostly become I'm expecting and anticipating Him to show up ... and He does! He always does.

I was studying my Experiencing God workbook this morning when I came upon this phrase, which is talking about quiet time with God: "I keep that time alone with God, not in order to have a relationship but because I have a relationship."

And even though writing is TOUGH, I truly feel it's an extension of my alone time with God. I don't write to make God happy, to get published, to drive everyone around me crazy, but rather because I have a relationship and the messages burn within me. As I just recently started telling my agent ... "I have been overcome with words!" They're words of hope, of healing ... words that are an outpouring of my quiet time with God.

So if I'm crazy, I'm in good company. In fact, I totally understand Paul when he said, "For if we are beside ourselves [mad, as some say], it is for God and concerns Him; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit, for the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us ..." 2 Corinthians 5:13-14 (Amplified).

So go ahead ... call me a crazy [mad] woman. I'll completely agree! Just please remember to pray for me, please :-)

Check out this stop on the tour from Home Steeped Hope:

You pick up a book, scan the back cover and it either grabs you or it doesn’t. When my influencer copy of My Life, Unscripted from Tricia Goyer arrived, the back cover copy jumped out at me and seconds later I was sinking into my couch, stealing enough time to confirm that this book is a definite keeper! Wait! Scratch that, it was SO good I made it a huge priority to finish before my niece’s 18th birthday party that weekend. I knew I had to pass it along. And as I read, I kept thinking of different teenage girls–nieces and friends–that would benefit with this warm and personal, yet hip, mentoring of Tricia’s in their hands.

What a Great Start! Thanks!

Here is the schedule for the rest of the tour!

1Timothy 2:1, 3 (The Message)

The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know…This is the way our savior God wants us to live.

More than anything, parenting takes courage. There is no going with the flow, no just trying to slide by, when it comes to raising kids.

As we enter the uphill battle of child rearing, we must trust the success of our parenting to God. Prayer is key. Sometimes situations are hard to see, and we feel like we are blindly tramping around. In raising kids in this day and age, we need to take all our needs before God and leave the results to Him. In prayer we plead our case before God, we get God’s perspective, and gain confidence and courage.

God doesn’t always answer our prayers in the way we hoped or expected, but we can trust that He will answer our prayer in the best way, not just sometimes, but every time.

As Gen X parents, we know that these are trying times to be raising children, but we must realize that we are parents now, not by chance, but by design. God has called us to parent specifically during this time in history.

Here are some scriptures for your parenting journey:

1. Prayers of need (Psalm 55:22, Jeremiah 17:7-8)

2. Prayers of thanksgiving (Psalm 40:5, Romans 11:33)

3. Prayers for seeking families (Matthew 11:25, Psalm 116:6-7)

4. Prayers for generations (Psalm 105:708, Psalm 100:5)

Meet Laura Christianson. She is an author and freelance journalist specializing in adoption-related issues. Her "Exploring Adoption" blog received Forbes magazine's "Best of the Web" rating. Laura has written numerous general-interest features and essays for national and regional publications. She speaks regularly at writers conferences and other events. Laura lives in Seattle with her husband and two children, who both joined their family through adoption. You can learn more about Laura and her books at her website.

1. Can you tell us a little about your self and how you became interested in adoption?

After my husband and I had been married five years, we decided it was time to start having children. Then we discovered we had infertility challenges. During the time we were trying to decide how to deal with our infertility, several of our friends adopted. We closely observed them, pummeled them with questions, and decided that adopting would be the best family-building option for us. Rather than pursuing infertility treatment, we quickly moved towards adoption.

We adopted our two sons when they were newborns (they are now 14 and 11 years old), and we have completely open adoptions with their respective birth families, which is quite a fun adventure!

2. There seems to be an increase in the amount of adoptions happening in this country. What do you attribute this trend to?

With the recent tightening of adoption laws in other countries, the amount of parents adopting internationally actually decreased slightly, from 22,728 in Fiscal Year 2005 to 20,679 in FY 2006. But interest in and awareness of adoption is on the rise. I attribute some of that to the fascination with celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Madonna, who have recently adopted. Because they are such high-profile people, their adoption stories put adoption in the news—and on people’s minds.

Plus, with an entire generation of internationally-adopted children now grown, families with multiple ethnicities are becoming the norm. People are used to seeing white parents with Chinese children. More people are acquainted with adoptive families. Once you meet an adoptive family and realize they really aren’t all that weird, your own interest in adoption increases and you begin to ponder the possibility of adding to your family through adoption.

3. How can couples who want to adopt make it happen? Where do they start?

Most people who truly have a heart to adopt can make it happen, but it takes a great deal of patience and perseverance. For starters, I recommend learning as much as you can about adoption, so that when the unforeseen happens (and it will happen), you’ll be slightly more prepared. Read as many adoption books as possible, subscribe to magazines such as Adoptive Families and Adoption TODAY, peruse adoption blogs, subscribe to e-mail discussion groups specific to the type(s) of adoption you are considering, request information packets from all the

adoption agencies and facilitators in your region, join support groups for adoptive families, and pummel other adoptive parents with questions! Most of us adoptive parents truly enjoy sharing our experiences – we’ve been where you are and know what you’re feeling. Educating yourself about adoption will give you confidence and will equip you with the practical tools you need to build your family through adoption.

4. Can you tell me a little about your new books and what prompted you to write them?

Eleven years ago, after we adopted our second child, I was a member of an online Christian support group for infertile women and adoptive moms. We often discussed the crazy comments people—particularly, our relatives—made about adoption. I decided to write a short booklet to help educate adoptive grandparents about adoption, so they could better support their adult children who were adopting. As I began researching, I realized I had enough material for a full-length book.

Because you’re an author yourself, Tricia, you know that the process of “pitching” a book project to agents and editors is not for the faint-hearted. I attended Christian writers’ conferences for three years, pitching my project right and left and incorporating suggestions from various editors/agents into my book proposal. Last year, Harvest House Publishers offered me a contract for The Adoption Decision (which releases in early August). As soon as I finished writing that manuscript, I completed another manuscript I had been working on, The Adoption

Network (which was just released by WinePress Publishing).

I call The Adoption Decision a “how-to for the heart,” because it acquaints readers with the emotional and spiritual aspects of adoption and adoptive parenting. It’s packed with fascinating stories from people whose lives are directly impacted by adoption – there’s no dry, boring, clinical stuff in this book! I think it’s an entertaining read and it helps people clarify what they want their own adoption to “look like.”

The Adoption Network is a companion volume to The Adoption Decision. It’s a workbook for people who want build a face-to-face community of support for adoptive and foster families, birth/first parents, or adopted people. It is packed with worksheets and practical tips about how to start an adoption ministry in your church or community.

5. In your opinion, what is the most important piece of advice for someone in the process of adopting?

Hang in there! The adoption process truly stretches you—sometimes past the limits of what you imagine you can bear. But it also grows you in ways you never would have expected or experienced otherwise. While you may wonder whether you’ll ever meet that child you’ve begun to love, it will happen. As you’re waiting, be proactive about creating a support network for both you and your future child. Make an appointment with a pediatrician who specializes in adoption medicine, find out what social services are available in your community for adopted children, and attend events where you can meet other adoptive families. A support network is an invaluable

resource for adoptive families.

6. Do you consider adoption support your job or your ministry?

Both. About 10 years ago, I started an adoption support ministry at my church in Seattle; I care deeply about encouraging and informing those who are considering adoption and adoptive families. My Exploring Adoption blog is a ministry as well, since I do it in my spare time (but have become rather addicted to it). With the publication of two adoption books, I have moved into the realm of “doing” adoption support on a professional level, as well. But my passion and my calling is to help people; I’ll continue providing adoption support, and if I generate any income from doing so, that’s icing on the cake.

7. How are you using your blog in your work? What has been the biggest surprise?

Blogging about adoption has been the best learning experience of my life! I have met (virtually speaking) fascinating people who have readily shared their stories and their lives with me and my readers. My readers have expanded my narrow perspective on adoption exponentially during the almost three years I’ve been blogging. Because I regularly check my blog’s stats, I’m able to keep tabs on the topics the majority of my readers are interested in. What has most surprised me is the huge numbers of people who are interested in adopting children with Down syndrome. That’s cool!

8. What do you do in your spare time?

You mean, when I’m not blogging? I spend a lot of time at my 14-year-old son’s baseball games (and cross country meets, and basketball games, depending on the season). I love reading books to my 11-year-old son. He loves fantasy books and “dragon” books and he likes to hear me “do” the characters’ voices. I also love to walk, swim, and rollerblade. Right now, I’m in the midst of starting a new internet blogging/marketing/writing business called HeBlogsSheBlogs.com, with my business partner, Jim Rubart. Planning that takes up a big chunk of my free time, but it’s exciting, and we can’t wait to launch our business.

9. What are the last five books you read or movies you watched?

Movies: The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer; Raising Helen; Bella; Facing the Giants; and Leave It To Beaver, Season 1 DVD (“The Beav” is family-friendly and a complete riot; we all love it).

Books (I read multiple books at one time): The Secret Life of Becky Miller and Renovating Becky Miller, by Sharon Hinck; Tears of a Dragon, by Bryan Davis; Why Didn’t You Warn Me?: How to Deal With Challenging Group Members, by Pat Sikora; Whitehorn Woods, by Maeve Binchy; Bones That Float: A Story of Adopting Cambodia, by Kari Grady Grossman, and Shopoholic and Baby, by Sophie Kinsella. Yes, I have eclectic taste in books!

about My Life, Unscripted!



Check out Tasra Dawson's blog...it's great!

Here's an excerpt: My Life, Unscripted. Not really "my" life, but everyone's life. Your life, your daughter's life...my fellow author, Tricia Goyer's life. This is her upcoming book and she nailed it! She gets it, she's writing about it and I love her for that. Most of us know that young girls hit their teen years and struggle. They struggle with self-esteem, depression, body image, eating disorders, insecurity, harassment, and finding their voice. We know it, we see it, and we want to help. But, the problem is that even if we've been through it, we don't always know how to help.

And Big News!

My Life, Unscripted is available now to buy at Barnes and Noble!
