Kiva.org

A month ago I had a birthday party to celebrate my turning a quarter of a century. Big news, I know. As part of my birthday celebration, I did a "quarter drive" for Kiva. Here's a little about them, taken from their website:

"We are a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world."



My wonderful friends and family dropped quarters (and other coins) into the collection and we ended up with about $40! Kiva accepts donations in increments of $25, so now it is my job to find a recipient of my $50 loan. I've spent the past month periodically checking in to look at the recipients, but there are so many and I don't know how to make my decision!

With the Easter season upon us, I feel moved to figure out where I want my donation to go and just do it. I'm going to pray on this over the next few days and make one of my goals for next week to finally make my donation.

Ridiculous, yet Funny

Have you ever been to WhenParentsText.com? Absolutely hilarious! I was laughing so hard last night in my living room that Codie (my roomie) had to ask if everything was okay. I think the dads are the funniest...here are some of my favorites:


DAD: ok. I would love for you to come home but I understand that it just doesn’t happen sometimes. Bought a wheel barow today for home. Pretty excited about that.

      ME: I’m coming home this weekend!
      DAD: Yes… So is your sister. This is not an intervention is it?

      DAD: Subway instead need to get d and c food
      ME: D and c food?
      DAD: Y, B, and B
      ME: What? Abbreviations are not for every word in the language
      DAD: Dogs and Cat
      ME: haha okay
      DAD: If you loved them you’d know their abbreviations
