  1. Wow Haley!! How exciting to hear about all you’ve learned! I just know you are a blessing to everyone as you grow in your faith and trust in the Lord!!??

  2. Haley, I bet this is just the FIRST twenty and you could probably keep going. Isn’t it wonderful how the Lord is ever teaching us, ever molding us to more perfectly reflect His likeness? I’m so thankful He’s never finished with me! I love reading all of these, but number seventeen has struck me today: Love with my mind, not only my actions. I’m going to sit with that one. I think it’s something I need to grow in. If it’s something God has been teaching you about while in Guatemala, I’d love to hear more about that. Thanks for sharing and spurring me on in areas where I need to learn and grow as well!
