So girls, I understand that you are probably sick of me already.  Accordingly, I would like to introduce you to one of three sistas who will be blogging on The Sex Rev regularly.

This is Michelle.

She is my wife.  I absolutely love her.  I cannot extol her praises enough!

She was born in Kijabe Kenya, raised in Ethiopia, Finland, and Canada.

We met at the tender age of 12 and shared our first kiss in the summer between grade seven and eight.

Her dream is to work full time at rescuing people from the sex trade.  She heads up a small (soon to be HUGE) organizations called Hope For the Sold.  You can check out her website at www.hopeforthesold.com

I married her in July, and we honeymooned in Hawaii.  Marriage has been amazing so far, and the prospects for the future look even better.  (word to the wise: ignore EVERYONE who says marriage is horrible- they are wrong and need to deal with their pride, selfishness, and lack of love for their spouse.  They also probably have issues with lust and their relationship with God.)

Sorry for the rant…back to Michelle.

I have a list of things that I love about her- it has over 500 things on it so far!  Here are a few:

People LOVE Michelle.  I don’t know anyone who hates her.  Maybe at first they think “she’s faking it…no one can be that happy.  She’s just a blonde.”  But she’s relentless, and will eventually wear them down!

I threw it out on Facebook, and this is what people said: “regardless of how well you know her, you just know that you could talk to her about anything without the fear of being judged.”  “She is caring has a heart for people.”  “Her sweet nature.”  “She is honest, willing to give people a chance, is teachable, recognizes her areas of weakness and works on changing them, and her heart for the hurting is SO evident.”  “I love the way she tells stories- she is by far the best story teller I know.  She tells every story with such passion…even if it’s about a doughnut!”

She loves life.  The small things make her squeal.  Like cloud patterns and rainy days.  Like me telling her a story.  Like eating a really good hamburger, with ketchup.  Like a surprise date.  Like catching a mouse in our house.  I think I’d call it “verve.”

She wants a big family.  She loves God alot.  She is VERY QUICK to let God change her character.  Seriously, when God tells her something that needs to change in her life, she immediately TAKES IT OUT!

An example:
At one point Michelle realized that media was taking over her life, so she cut it out…completely.  For a whole month.  No TV.  No MSN (Facebook’s mother!). No radio.  No Movies.  Nothing.  Then she filled that time with seeking God’s will through Scripture, prayer, and spending time with real people.  It changed her life, and she never went back.

Michelle will be posting at No Boys Allowed about once a week.

There is SO MUCH that you can learn from Michelle:  she made it to marriage as a virgin.  She’s struggled through huge issues in her faith.  Her best friend died.  She had her heart broken by a boy (me, sadly) more than once.  She’s dealt with stress, ministry, leadership, friendship, back-stabbing, politics, and world issues.  Learn from her.  Take in her wisdom.  Let it change your life.  Then share it with others.

Michelle will start posting early next week, so get ready!
