Brian and I were out to dinner last night with Ryan and Lindsay Guard.. When Ryan leaned over and said “hey congrats on the nomination.” hhaa. and I was like… “for what?” He proceeded to tell me that Flowerdust.net did a blog post mentioning that her and I were the ONLY FEMALES represented in the nominations for Collide Magazine Readers Choice Awards for 2009. Flowerdust (Anne Jackson was nominated in the category of theology/ministry)

I was really humbled and honored to have been nominated under the Faith & Arts category. Because I am just writing what is on my heart and the projects that I am excited about. So even the fact that I was nominated is a real shock to me and I am quite grateful for that. Collide Magazine has a BIG heart and I am very thankful for them. They graciously featured the Art For Huruma Project numerous times to help get the word out. They are rock-stars. They have extremely interesting articles, great layout/design, and culture relevant content. Super RAD!
