Leaving Normal Behind

I usually offer little unless you ask. I answer to most names resembling “Christy”, although I cringe at “Chrissy”. I’ll always be a country girl at heart but have lived in Dallas for over six years now. Can’t say I dreamed about being here but amazing, wonderful friends make this an awesome place to live. Fun times!

I’m privileged (sincerely) to work at a church coordinating our local outreach efforts.  A lot of our current work is in the international refugee, hispanic, and homeless communities.   I want to see a balance between evangelism and social justice activities in the (broad) Church.   The conversations are too few, political idealogy too ingrained, and biases too strong for a faith that is pursuing the honor and glory of our triune God in a broken and hurting world.  (My short soapbox.)

The previous name of my blog was: Shelby Louise’s Roommate.  Who is Shelby Louise? The basset hound that considers every couch in this house her throne. :-)   I’m on a journey that has many different themes and lessons, so the name may change again … who knows.
