I almost put "The Color Green" too. "Calling Out Your Name" is another favorite. Oh, and what is with hair texture changing in our 30's? I don't like it. Another thing I learned in 2007 is that adoption speeds up the graying process as well. I'm amazed by how much more gray I have now than I did six months ago. Sad.
Love learning more about you Jana! I greatly enjoy you and it is a huge blessing to journey this road together:)
those are all great! I feel like I know you better. :)
i'm totally going to do this :)
