EDIT: Thank you! It appears that all three children have been sponsored. You can still sponsor children in Uganda by clicking here!

There are three children in Uganda who have been waiting over six months for sponsors.

last time when i posted two children who had been waiting over six months to be sponsored, you guys stepped up and both of them had sponsors within an hour! that is incredible.

i looked around on compassion’s site a few minutes ago, and found teddy. she lives in uganda. and she’s orphaned. with her two siblings, she lives with her uncle, who is occasionally employed as a farmer.

teddy is ten years old, and has been waiting for a sponsor for over six months. she is approaching a very significant time in her life as she hits adolescence. for her to know you are praying for her will change her world.

CLICK HERE TO BE TAKEN DIRECTLY TO TEDDY’S SPONSORSHIP PAGE. please don’t let her wait any longer.

Francis is nine and has four siblings. He has been waiting over six months for a sponsor. CLICK HERE TO GO TO FRANCIS’ PAGE AND SPONSOR HIM IMMEDIATELY!

Hakiza is twelve and also has four siblings. CLICK HERE TO GO TO HAKIZA’S PAGE AND SPONSOR HIM IMMEDIATELY!

YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING AWESOME!!!

i LOVE the invaluable feedback you guys have provided when i ask little questions for mad church disease. so, here’s another…

what, in your opinion, makes an environment healthy?

“Serve the stranger not as a strategy but as an act of love.”

my book deadline is february 28 march 14.

i sent this letter to my agent a few moments ago.

Oh, my dear Beth.

I’m sure you have a calendar for each of us. And on that calendar, with all of your experience, you probably have certain days circled in red. These days would represent days like today when I email you and say I am having looking-my-deadline-in-the-eye-induced-panic-attacks.

Breathe in, breathe out.

My brain has locked up. My fingers have locked up. And (breathe) I (breathe) have (breathe) two (breathe) weeks?

I don’t know what agents do on these days. But you do.

Please send xanax, stat.

Sincerely yours,

your role in this, bloggyfriends? pray…hard…for me! being sick/asleep twenty-one hours a day lately isn’t really helping my schedule.

i’ve been home sick today (not with infectious stomach parasites like some of my ugandan-travel-mates, rather what i have dubbed a “fire breathing demon baby” that has taken residence in my throat). i have left my bedroom once to get soup and that is it. no energy.

yet still needing to kind of function for a conference call at 4 pm today.

here’s what that looked like.

i can honestly say i have never had a conference call in sweats with a cat sleeping on me.

and i must be so overridden with ick that i am actually posting that photo….? with no makeup? eek.

anyway…

i’ve been playing around on twitter a lot today. so…if you tweet, add me!
