Week 51:

This blessing took place the week of September 14th – 20th

My best friend has been devastated by the crisis in Iraq. She and a friend have decided to do something to help children and families who are being directly impacted by what is happening there. Are you willing to do the same? Will you Dare to Love these families and help bring hope in the mist of the darkness?

My friends are selling these shirts:
 
With 75% of proceeds going to Samaritan's Purse, below I've provide a little bit of information about Samaritan's Purse and the work they are doing in Iraq.

***Via Samaritan's Purse Facebook Page***


The crisis in Iraq has opened up new opportunities for our staff and partners to share the Go...od News of Jesus Christ. One team member was talking to a displaced Muslim family and they asked why we are helping. The team member proceeded to share the story of the Good Samaritan. The father of the family then told him, "And you, a Christian, are the Good Samaritan, and you are caring for us as we all go through this together."Our entire team is excited to help people from many religious backgrounds in their time of need. Centuries-old barriers of suspicion and distrust are breaking down.

Samaritan's Purse recently distributed food to 60 displaced Iraqi families who have been stranded in a no-man's land for the past two months. At the time of the distribution, at least some of these families were living in unfinished houses ...with no extra clothes, no showers, no toilets, and no bedding other than a few foam pads. We were the first NGO to help them. Please pray for Samaritan's Purse as the ministry continues to respond in Jesus' Name to the crisis in northern Iraq.

You can purchase a woman's shirt for $30 http://bit.ly/1pHpXm1 and men's shirt for $25 http://bit.ly/1uwSN9b. You might think that is a little step for a t-shirt, so instead tell yourself you are making a $30 contribution with 75% of the proceeds going to Samaritan's Purse. As a bonus you get a cute shirt that is a great way to bring awareness to a group of courageous Christians helping aid families in Iraq.

I've accepted the Dare to Love challenge… Will you?

Week 8:

This week my blog is all about something that is very near and dear to my heart. For those of you who don't know I have a younger cousin and younger brother who both have autism. My cousin Aaron lives in Odessa, Texas, and has recently graduated High School. For most graduates this is a very exciting time, they start college, move away from home, and get an apartment. However, for Aaron things are much different. Aaron can't go to college, or live on his own, because of the autism Aaron needs to stay home with his family. He needs to have someone watch over him and help him with day to day living. Without school there isn’t anywhere Aaron can go during the day, because of this my aunt retired and stays home with Aaron.   For many years my aunt and uncle have prayed God would provide some type of resource, a place where young adults like Aaron could go to continue learning new things. God always finds a way to meet our needs.   This week my blessing is simple I ...

Week 33:

This blessing took place the week of May 11 th – 17 th . I was beyond blessed this week. I was given an opportunity to go home for few days. I flew out on Thursday, May 15 th . Anytime I fly home I have a layover in Dallas. This usually allows for me to get breakfast or lunch. This being a typical layover I stopped to get some breakfast at McDonalds. Instead of getting my usual, just a breakfast burrito and a drink I felt the need to get the meal. It includes 2 burritos, a hash brown, and a drink. After getting my meal and arriving at my gate. The girl sitting next to me asked where she could find McDonalds. I told her she would need to take the skylink to get there, but she probably wouldn't have time to go and come back before boarding.   I told her I had an extra burrito that she could have if she wanted it. She asked if I was serious, I smiled and said, "Yes, I seriously have an extra burrito and you can have it". I went on to tell her I never get the meal b...

Week 14:

I have a bad habit of being hard on myself. I constantly make jokes about not being good enough. It wasn't until recently when a good friend of mine told me I don't give myself enough credit. She's absolutely right, and I guarantee I'm not alone in this. I know some of you reading this do the same thing. You belittle yourself, or you try and justify you quarks. For example you might make a similar comment, "I'm socially awkward, but the people who love me look past this…" Or "I'm not really sure why people read my blog, I'm not a writer." I could list example after example of not measuring up to the "world's standards", but you know what I've learned? Those standards don't matter; they really don't, because my worth comes from a higher authority. It is not that we think we are qualified to do anything on our own. Our qualifications come from God. – 2 Corinthians 3:5 Here's the deal when God looks ...
