Braggin' Wagon (Jumpin' On)

Who's jumping on the braggin' wagon today? Let us start with DaNella Auten @ 'Beyond Microbursts!'. She is a pastor's wife and semi-professional photographer. She usually has pictures on her blog. Half of them are of her daughter and some little critter in her hand that I would never dream of getting within 10 feet of. The other half are nature at its finest. I love photography and see she has a talent and an eye for getting the perfect shot. If it makes her curious you're going to see it!
DaNella has become a good friend because she has a good heart. She is working on her degree to become a councilor and is pretty good at it already.
She has written a devotional book published by 'Lion & Lamb Publications' called "Microbursts!- Devotions with a Unique Look into the Power of God in Everyday Life". The title says it all because she takes stuff in everyday life and sees God in it. It is a book well worth $14.95+ s/h. You will laugh, cry, and be touched by God when you read it. You can apply most of it in your life and see God where you missed Him before. Check out her photos and her 'microbursts'. You will not be let down.
The next blog I like is called 'My Operation Obligation Journal' by Patti. She's a mom and a military wife. The reason her blog is so cool is because her 'operation obligation' is to help the country of Guatemala. She is not a missionary, pastor's wife or any other position that you would think. She is just somebody doing what they think they should do. Patti sponsors three children (Marcos, Oscar, and Rafael) through 'Mayan Families'-a ministry working right in Guatemala. Her heart has such a love to touch these families and help them.
In May she was able to go there on a missions trip with her son. The poverty was so great that it just overwhelmed her, but she was able to see her sponsored children and their homes. What a feeling it is to see with your own two eyes exactly what your money and supplies are doing for a family in need. Her friend Daphne adopted two children from Guatemala and arranged that whole trip. She also sponsors four children of her own. If you go back to the May posts you can see the pictures from their trip.
She encourages me to do more for missions because she is always looking for ways to make money for Guatemala. Come and see how anybody can make a difference.
