Michaela

March is approaching us fast which also means Spring Break will be here before we know it.

This year, Michaela (Matt's little sister, for those of you who have no idea who I'm talking about...) will be taking a mission trip to Nicaragua. That's right, leaving the states at 15-years-old, and going to Nicaragua. I'm starting to get a little nervous for her-even though she'll be around familiar faces, which helps.
It's a different place, away from home.

But guess what?

She'll be doing what God made her to do, which makes me smile to the end of the earth. This girl has already found her calling, is following God's direction, and being the best example she can be to those around her.
Not a lot of teenagers can say they do that.

I met Michaela when she was 6 or 7 years old. I've watched her grow up. I've watched her get her heart broken. And I've watched her blossom into the beautiful girl that she has become.

God's girl, definitely.

Maybe I'm just her sister-in-law, but I am more proud of this girl than I can even express. Her morals and values and her beliefs. Not only that, but she lets it shine through her.

Beautifully.

Love you, sister.

The main reason for this post is to help Michaela raise the rest of the money that she needs to get to go to Nicaragua. Instead of just wishing her well and handing her money, I wanted to do a little more than that. Many of you have seen my photography work. From now until Michaela leaves for her trip, I will be selling my photo calendars for $8 each. All profits from these calendars will be going to Michaela and the funds that she needs to be able to go on her trip. Many of you have already been very gracious and donated towards her trip and you're truly a blessing..but why not get a calendar from the deal as well? She's almost there and I wanted to do my part to help her do what she was made to do. If you'd like to be a part of helping Michaela, comment on this post or e-mail me at tl_pollock@hotmail.com.

Thank you!
