Why I Wore a Dress For the First Time Since My Wedding Day: Meeting the Maasai

I don’t know why I gave up wearing dresses, perhaps because I never wore many dresses growing up on a sailboat.

I like dresses. I just don’t buy them very often.

But I knew I needed something special to wear to meet my sponsored child, Nairesiae.

A week before we left for Africa, I found the perfect black dress and a red scarf.

It wasn’t until after we arrived that I discovered my sponsored child is Maasai. The color of the tribe is red.

Wonderstruck, indeed.

Giveaway: Win a Copy of Be The Sunshine by @_angela_thomas

Margaret —  March 9, 2013 — 124 Comments

Be the Sunshine by Angela ThomasOne of my favorite speakers to listen to whenever I get a chance is Angela Thomas. Not only is she a bundle of joy on the stage, put she’s pure joy whenever we get to hang out. I am so grateful for her kindness, encouragement, and the way she radiates Jesus. (Psst… you can come hang out with us at the Extraordinary Women event in Greenville, South Carolina from March 15-16. Purchase your tickets, here).

Plus, she has a new book that just released. I was given the opportunity to get a copy before it released and just love the story of how “Be the Sunshine!” became a family motto. For anyone looking for more joy or who wants to radiate the light of Christ more, you’ll want to pick up a copy of Be the Sunshine: Spread the Light and Spread the Joy.

In celebration of Angela Thomas‘ new book, we’re giving away three copies. To win, simply tell us one practical way that you’ve learned to Be the Sunshine to others by commenting on this blog post. Winners will be announced on Friday.

Congratulations to the winners: Shannon Wexelberg, Kimberly Nyborg, Kristy Ufheil

Sunday Stills

Even in the midst of hardship, God's spirit infuses us with unexplainable joy.

“Paul never suggests that believers deny the grief or pain that adversity brings but rather that they recognize, even in the midst of hardship, God’s spirit infusing us with joy. Such mirth can’t be self-produced; it is a gift of God and evidence of the Spirit. This unexplainable joy is one of the hallmarks of those who follow Christ, setting them apart from many religions, both ancient and modern.”

 –Margaret Feinberg, Wonderstruck (page 147)
