Even if your heart has been broken, if you haven’t yet experienced love, or if you just don’t think much about it, you should still choose to be an optimist, to have a positive outlook. Those who look for the positive and believe in the best will find it. People tend to live out their fears, but they also tend to live out their hopes and dreams. So dream plenty. And when you think about and plan for what love might mean in your life, make sure those dreams and plans stay sunny.

Here’s another peek into Jenna Lucado Bishop’s adventure in Guatemala. Don’t forget to check out her blog here.
Say hello to the Crists. They are a family of nine, representing three pockets of the world, changing three pockets of Guatmela, while living in two pockets of the Western Hemisphere. More pockets than a pair of carpenter’s pants! And carpenters they are, building better lives for hundreds of orphans, the elderly, the disabled, children stuck in gang-run territories and so many more. They have returned so many times to serve the children and widows of Guatemala, that they began a non-profit called Tree4Hope. You can check out their web site at www.tree4hope.org.
Nine months out of the year they live in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while the other three months are spent in Guatemala. Brett and I happened to be overlapping one of their 3-month stints last summer. We were on a mission trip with some students from Oak Hills Church, and on our last day went to an orphanage called Hogar Miguel. That’s where we met the Crists.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence that on our last day, in the middle of the jungle, surrounded by beautiful brown-skinned orphans, a blond-haired, blue-eyed, middle-school girl from Pennsylvania tapped me on the shoulder and asked, “Excuse me, are you Jenna?” I stared at her cute freckled nose, taken aback. “Yes,” I said. She then continued with a pleased smile, “I love the Revolve Tour!” The girl was Jessica Crist, and her family had just arrived at the orphanage for the first time that summer, an hour before our group. Divine timing? From there we began a friendship with this adventurous family, and we are forever grateful. So grateful, that I thought it appropriate to make our Top 5 List of our favorite adventures because of the Crist Family.

Life is so uncertain. Sometimes it seems like everyone and everything conspires to make us afraid. Afraid of speaking up. Afraid of letting go. Afraid of holding on. Afraid of what people will think. Afraid of being less than perfect. But the Bible says, “God did not give us a spirit that makes us afraid but a spirit of power and love and self-control” (2 Timothy 1:7).

When you were a little girl, you probably made something in art class for special occasions like Christmas, Hanukkah, and Mother’s Day. Those pinecones covered in glue and glitter, little handprints in a plaster of Paris plate, and picture frames made of popsicle sticks will be treasured long after you have moved along to choosing store-bought gifts for friends and family.
The reason they mean so much is because they took time and effort, a rule of thumb for gift giving we should never outgrow.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have much money to spend. With a little time and effort, you can find just the right gift.
You do:
Take note of people’s favorite colors, music, movies, books, and hobbies.
You don’t:
Pick something because you like it.
Why:
You give someone a gift you are fairly certain they will enjoy. You don’t give a friend who loves the color red a pink cardigan because that’s your favorite color. Pink might be in the red family, but the two colors don’t really get along, and she will probably never wear the sweater.
You do:
Plan ahead and keep track of birthdays on a dry-erase board or calendar in your bedroom, or on your computer or phone.
You don’t:
Wait until the last minute to look for your mother’s Christmas present or a gift for your friend’s birthday.
Why:
Choosing just the right gift should be fun, but if you put it off until the last minute, you’ll get stressed. And what’s worse, it becomes a chore, which will likely result in your choosing a present that fairly shouts “She waited until the last minute!” You don’t have to wait until department stores are playing “Deck the Halls” to shop for Christmas. If you see a pair of earrings in September you know your mother will love, buy them and hide them away. (Just don’t forget where you put them.) If you know your friend is going on a cruise with her family for winter break, monogrammed luggage tags for her October birthday show you’ve thought ahead.
You do:
Take the time to wrap your gift nicely or put it in a fun gift bag.
You don’t:
Hand it to the recipient in the bag from the store where it was purchased or in the box it was mailed in.
Why:
Which present would you look forward to opening more? The one in the wrinkled-up brown paper bag or the one in the polka-dot shiny paper with a big satin bow? Don’t be the person who brings the wrinkled-up brown paper bag. If you don’t have a knack for wrapping, use a gift bag, colorful tissue, and some pretty ribbon.
-A lady always removes the price tag and puts a gift receipt with the item if the store offers one, in case the item has to be exchanged for any reason.
-A lady includes a card or tag with her name on packages or in gift bags.
-A lady doesn’t say, “If you don’t like it, you can take it back” to the recipient as he or she is opening their gift. It is awkward and uncomfortable.
