Instead of selling it for profit, Ruth was giving me a three by three book I'm going to fill with Bible verses. The book has an orange theme, and I'm a purple girl. I assured her the orange was fine and thanked her for the gift.
While orange does not make it in my top three favorite colors, it holds a special significance.
Orange is the color of the World Vision pen on my desk because it is bright enough to not get lost in the heap of dead trees.
Orange makes me think of Nikki and her now, rightfully, retired phone...
Orange makes me think of Carrie.
Orange is construction cones and Taco Bell hot sauce.
Orange makes me think of Guatemala.
Orange helped me realize that just like white crevices in stucco take forever to fill so does sin take forever to be removed from our lives. Every time we think we’re getting close, we find yet another missing spot… and then some more.
Orange is a reminder to stop and listen. Sometimes we have to be quiet to hear what God is trying to say.
Orange means funs, friendly, and flexible.
Orange proclaims, "We believe!"
More than anything, Orange reminds me of my trip to New Orleans where I got to be part of Orange Nation. A week of long days and short nights. A week sacrificing ourselves and serving one another. A week of almost being trampled every night as I tried to play crowd control for 25,000 excited youth. A week I learned where "challenging" and "cherished" can intertwine.

Happy Halloween.
Let orange be more than the color of the "publish post" button.

Ah, orange. Some good times there!
It's also a delicious citrus, you know.
Pretty sure lime green screams "We Believe," but orange is in 2nd place! :)
And you were great at crowd control...except when I didn't listen. Ooops. :)
Orange is also the color of insanity... That's what they dress prisoners in, after all. :) Great reminder, love!
