As time is moving so fast, I am afraid I have left my faithful readers in the dust and stuck with a two month old post. Apologies for that dear faithfuls. I am thankful for you, the fall colors, signature pumpkin spiced beverages and the amazing fall candle selections thus far!! My house smells glorious and my husband's asthma is still alive and well. lol
Sean and I have been up to much of life's challenges. As of late we feel like we are being taught valuable lessons in life. While we cherish every moment together, we also cherish every moment we are able to love on others by a comforting word or gesture. There is something within our hearts that just want every person we pass by to know how much they are truly loved and their worth is so great.
Recently, I volunteered to work on a web-site for an amazing organization. One I am truly passionate about and thankful for in so many ways. I was completely prepared with a small visual project of what I am more than happy to assist them with. It was a wonderful meeting. Then came the part when I was asked, "how much would you want for this?" I couldn't give a direct answer. How do you put a price on something that means more than money? So, I was asked to put a proposal together this weekend.
I called Sean and we discussed it. We are of course going to pray and seek God on this decision. I did mention that I would just feel weird putting a price on something that has been a passion of mine for so long. I can remember traveling to the train stations, handing out cheeseburgers and playing my guitar as many of the homeless folks would just sit and talk. Hearing their stories and knowing that what they needed at that moment was someone to listen and not judge - truly amazing memories made. It didn't matter how much those burgers would cost. What mattered was the fact that I was there and I listened. So, Sean says, "we just have to see where God points us this time." And I cannot wait to see where this may lead!
As I have been dealing with many odd jobs and working so much, God is showing me how much there is still to be done! And friends... we are running out of time! I'm not saying the world will end tomorrow. I am saying that instead of sitting on your couch or being comfortable, surrounded by what is normal to you, get up!! It could be buying someone a meal today. Smiling at someone to give them a hope that there are still people who care! Or praying silently as a mother in the car sitting in traffic next to you struggles to hold back tears of uncertainty for her child's future. A father afraid to go home and tell his wife he lost his job needing a hand to fix that resume or pay a bill for that month.
God can do so much, but imagine what He can do if you were on board too! So, with this little time.... Do Much! I know Sean and I are seeking out things we can do. So, here's to doing much with a little bit of time!!
Blog ya later friends!!
