I am participating this week in the High Calling Blog Tour to help introduce the new website for The High Calling of Our Daily Work. I am doing this partly because my husband, Marcus Goodyear, is in charge of it, and partly because as a Christian in business for myself and as a work-at-home mom, the importance of remembering that my day to day activities can, and should, be glorifying to God cannot be overemphasized. From counseling students and speaking at schools to changing diapers and fixing lunches, I am demonstrating God's love for my students and my children with every action, every attitude, every word.
So check out the new site - besides being really attractive and in my absolute favorite shade of green, it's really easy to use and full of great stories and bible studies. I especially like the personal stories - if you're wondering how the truly mundane and sometimes gross activities of parenthood can glorify God, read John Poch's Changing Diapers for God. Since I'm still struggling with getting my almost three year old son out of diapers, that was a great word for me! If you join the High Calling you can get great emails with daily devotionals, notices when new material is posted, and access to the incredible collections of material from writers like Eugene Peterson, Earl Palmer, and many others.
This folks are also participating in this tour because they are great people, so check out their blogs, too:
Gordon Atkinson, L. L. Barkat, Gina Conroy, Craver VII, CREEations, Milton Brasher-Cunningham, Mary DeMuth, Karl Edwards, Emdashery, Every Square Inch, Green Inventions, Marcus Goodyear, Al Hsu, Jennwith2ns, Charles Foster Johnson, Mike McLoughlin, Eve Nielsen, Naked Pastor, Ramblin Dan, Charity Singleton, Stacy, Camy Tang, Writer… Interrupted
And, in admissions news, check out the April 16 issue of US News and World Report - great information on financial aid - how loans work, insider's view from aid offices, great last-minute resources for money. As always with most mass media, take it with a grain of salt, but read it as it is a good jumping off point.

Thanks for the link, Amy!
Diapers and college entrance... an unlikely alliance, yes? I didn't realize this was your line of work, so it's good to be here and see this side of you (instead of the lovely but sketchy side of you I see on Marcus's blog!)
Blessings...
Changing Diapers for God was fantastic! I think the author made a great point. Thanks for the reading suggestion.
Sketchy? Sketchy! Pah. I'm so offended I'm going to sulk.
Everyone should know right now--I am a complete mess without my wife.
If I have led you to believe otherwise, I am a liar and a fool.
WOW!! My first comments ever! Thanks guys! Despite my husband's blog proficiency, I am a blog virgin, so to speak. However, he is a great teacher (innuendo intended). I will try to comment on your blogs as well - and send anyone you know who might need college admissions help over. Thanks again!
Amy -- I wanted to say "hi" as well! (I'm making my way through the tour!) I've read so much about you on Marcus's site, I feel like I already know you! But in this one post, I've learned a lot already! I also really liked the Changing Diapers for God article.
