name: Angie Washington, date of birth: June 19, 1976, status: married to DaRonn (anniversary November 23, 1996) with four kids, residence: Cochabamba, Bolivia, South America, nationality: born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A.
Now that we have the factoids out of the way… On this journey of life, sharing my existence with God’s wonderful creation, there is nothing that thrills my heart more than knowing that my moments drip with purpose and destiny. Oh sure, there are the dull and uninteresting tasks that we all have to do, but mixed up in there with all the ‘have-to’ there is a wealth of ‘get-to’ that drives my being. After my husband whispers, “I love you,” in my ear I awake to the joy of learning with my children. Their light and curiosity never cease to amaze me. Everything we do is bi-lingual: speaking, reading, shopping, worshiping God, playing, and being friends. Spanglish is commonly heard drifting around our rooms. The work we do is extremely demanding; but I wouldn’t have it any other way. My husband the planter has raised a church, a bible school network, a publishing house, an international office servicing Christian leaders as well as the orphanage. Never a dull moment! The part I play is to create a home that is an oasis. I also write, teach, and help out where an extra hand is needed. I would hate to lead you astray by thinking that I am some kind of super woman, not at all! None of this would be a reality if it were not for the people that immensely enrich our lives. Family that love us. Team members that work so hard. Supporters who pray, give and help. Leaders that draw the best out of us. And friends that bolster our courage and help us to press on. And none of this is worth mentioning if it were not to give supreme honor and praise to the Most High God, Maker and Creator of each of us. To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen!

This site serves as a glimpse into our journey. This road of life has many twists and turns, that is what makes it an adventure. At times there are detours and pot holes, these are times for learning and growth. On the highway there are many other fascinating travelers, these are the precious people in my life. Wherever this path is taking me I am assured that God is my guide. He leads me, this is ultimate sufficiency for me. Thanks for riding shotgun and reading along.
I applaud you for reading this far. Here are some of my favorite posts from the past so that you can get to know more about me.

I was right. This was my guess. :) I won’t tell!
Now I’ll go read all this. Hugs!
Yay! You guessed it – well half of it…
What a great family you have, @ngie! So much wide-eyed wonder! And I’m not just talking about the kids, either!
Man, I loved reading this. It is just so great to see God’s children carrying out The Father’s will with so much tenacity and courage.
Your story is such an encouragement! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this small part of your journey!
TheNorEaster – Wow, I am blown away by your kind words! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and then let me know your thoughts. You made my day man.

hey.
i enjoyed reading this… another window into your world. thank you.
:)
so. i like the list of “favorites” … might have to do something with that on my blog!
Hey back at ya. :-)
I would appreciate seeing the favorites from your site. The hardest part for me was choosing which ones to put and which ones to pitch.
It’s good to be on a journey, but especially one whose guide is the King of kings and Lord of lords. There is an old Hinson’s song called “He’s Leading the Way” which is so appropriate; Jesus leads us in the way everlasting.
I’ve been to your husband’s blog a few times, and have really enjoyed it. Now I’ll have to split my time between you both! I really enjoyed reading about Bolivia, and the pictures make me want to see it up close.
You would be most welcome to drop by and see me at From Preacherpen’s Desk.
@Preacherpen – Thanks for stopping in and looking through my site. You are welcome back any time.
Hi Angie.
What a great site! I love the videos!
My name is Ana and I recently created a blog for missionary and everyday moms called ….EVERYDAY M.MOMS, I would appreciate if you could come and visit us sometime.
Here´s the address thttp://everydaymmoms.blogspot.com/
I was wondering if you´d be interested in writing on our “multilingual parenting” section, you would only need to post 1 or 2 times per week.
I speak Spanish as a first language and my husband is from Southafrica, right now our daughter is 9 months old and we are trying to figure out how to and when to speak which language… hehe… by the way, we live in Brazil so it’s kind of like… 1 or the 3 language and how… I’m sure other missionary moms are going through the same… so we could really use some help.
Joy Forney recommended you as a good blogger… please take a look at the site and let me know if you’d like to contribute.
QUE DIOS TE BENDIGA!
Happy Driving,
Ana~
