Like the fact that the wonderful Kim Moore and I share a love of languages--I was a multiple languages/journalism major. I studied French, Spanish, and Russian, and my original intent was to write and translate children's books. Isn't it amazing how God uses our journeys and passions to bring us to the perfect vocation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-72346721209059946582013-03-06T12:16:27.475-06:002013-03-06T12:16:27.475-06:00I'm very much interested in editing - I've...I'm very much interested in editing - I've edited extensively for a friend, and always find myself longing to do it when I'm reading others' works.

I love to read, so I've considered editing. I thought it was cool how Kim's house has a philosophy, Russian, and music major. It's good to know I can always change my mind after college.
