Every Story is Part of His Plan: Interview with Adult TCK Liz Lovelace (part 4)
That helped me accept that God had this plan for me to grow up this way. Accepting that it was good for me. God’s plan for other people was to go to college with people who were born in Wisconsin, grew up in Wisconsin, and never left Wisconsin. I think understanding that God has a plan for all of us and our formative years, whatever that may be, they shape you as a person, and that’s all part of God’s plan too.
I Bring Something Different: Interview with Adult TCK Liz Lovelace (part 3)
“I was able to accept that I am the way I am and, knowing that I bring something different to the people around me. I have different life experiences, and that is a good thing. That doesn’t diminish other people’s life experiences of mine. It’s just different.”
Third Culture Teen Stories: Interview with Adult TCK Liz Lovelace (part 2)
As you read this part of the interview, I would like you to keep something in mind. The struggles Liz paints aren’t necessarily things that only third culture kids go through.

But are we, really?
A Conference for Chronic Illness Warriors: Exhausted People Who Feel Invisible

What if they think I’m bragging? What if they think I’m weird? What if they think I’m stupid for not knowing who so-and-so is? What if they don’t get why moving was so hard?
A TCK Interview: God Loves the Sojourner (Luke & Wendy – Part 3)
“I am a very opinionated person. I’m thankful I’ve grown up in other cultures. I feel more open and ready to accept other opinions and listen. It’s taught me how to listen.” – Wendy
A TCK Interview: Life Long Love (Luke & Wendy – Part 2)
And I would think, “Why do I miss Luke? That’s weird.” By seventh grade, I definitely had a crush on Luke. And that um, continued, um, until this present moment.
A TCK Interview: Finding Our Identities (Part 1)
I had the privilege of doing an hour-long (!) interview with some friends of mine, an ATCK Christian couple: Luke & Wendy. I had so much fun talking to them… listening to their stories about identity, belonging, love and truth… Have fun reading!
