The challenge continues....

And if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. Isaiah 58:10

The dictionary defines "to spend" which is a verb, which requires action: is
1. To use up or put out; expend:
2. To pay out (money).
3. To wear out; exhaust:
4. To pass (time) in a specified manner or place:

I want to be known at the end of my life as having spent, used up,paid out, wore out, exhausted all of myself for the sake of others, especially those who need to be shown in a REAL TANGIBLE WAY the love of our FATHER.

I am very much enjoying and being inspired by this 42 day quest. I want to be intentional about reaching out and helping. My friend Brian and I are PASSIONATELY PURSUING this challenge.....please read his blog as well http://firefighter762.wordpress.com/. It is amazing to see his heart, how already he is being refined and molded, so that he can better serve His GOD and love HIS children. Thank you for showing your heart Brian and having GOD'S eyes.

Day 5 and 6 really challenges those types of motives and intentions. Yesterday, Brian and I read about the HUNGER. Every three seconds a child dies because he or she is hungry.
We were asked if there was time we remember being hungry. I have had that rumbling feeling in my stomach but never to such a degree as many in the world experience. So how do I contemplate something I have no real reference to. Brian and I decided that we are going to do WORLD VISIONS 30 HOUR FAMINE. We are going to do them in a few short weeks. We wanted to make the biggest impact possiblt so we will be trying to recruit supporters to donate to WORLD VISION or another honorable organization like Samaritan's purse, Compassion, your local church, a church plant or anywhere that is mindful of the immediate and REAL needs of people.
We will be updating our blog and posting on facebook when we are going to actually do this day of famine. Our goal date is September 30th.
We hope to encourage people to donate and also participate with us in this task.

Day 6, which is today, challenges us to donate money to buy a chicken.

http://www.donate.worldvision.org/ You donate enought money for a whole farm if you would like or are able.

There is a great catalog of things that you can buy. Please take time to look through and donate if you are able.

Today was an amazing day. I cannot be too specific because of the particular subject manner, but I am so thankful to God for His great provisions. I feel that He is SPOILING me..but for a specific reason to carry me through to the next task. I CAN SEE YOUR JESUS and you are BEAUTIFUL...I am in awe.

Praise: I am thankful for three wonderful foster daughters and 4 foster grandkids. I am thankful for wonderful friends. I am thankful for great talks with dear friends. I m thankful for such an amazing son and husband. I am so BLESSED. I am thankful that He is walking and leading me. I am so excited and grateful for what is next to come. I pray that I will touch their lives and grow evermore in my faith.

I promise there is much more blogging to come...because there is so much more life to enjoy...there is so much more faith to live out....there is so much more joy to experience...there is so much more love to give...there is so much more adventure to have....there is so much more EVERYTHING...and I am so excited to see what MORE THERE is......

Let me live a life of abundant love so that I can give to others a similar love that flows from a fathers sincere heart!
