To Simply Honor Him!!

                               (How Great is our God!!)
                                               

If you know me personally you know my biggest heart’s desire is, I just want to make a difference in this world somehow! As my previous post most of you know that I am taking my photography nonprofit. I want to feed hungry children!   There are so many Babies out there with hungry belly’s it just breaks my heart!!


Since I was 14 yrs.’ old my biggest dream was to move to Africa and open an orphanage. To take in those priceless precious treasures who had lost their Mommy and Daddy to aids or just the from the effects of  poverty. I can’t even begin to imagine how sad and lonely it would be not having a Mommy or Daddy to hug you and love you! To not have that unconditional love that every child deserves to have!


I am only me! But God has blessed me with a few gifts and talents, and all I want to do is honor him in every way I can with them! And to me giving back what he has so freely given me is one way I can help make a difference in this world. I know it may not be a big difference. But I figure every little bit helps! Right! :O)


So in saying all that, I put out a request for donations. Going off the scripture in the Bible that says we have not because we ask not. And I figure what do I have to loose?


So I stepped out of my comfort zone battling with my own insecurities not sure if I was brave enough to face the possible rejection of people thinking who does she think she is, asking for stuff. I am nobody special I am your average person, but I have a spark of life in me and a love and a drive to help others that is so much bigger then myself doubt.


Sooooo, I put on a brave face and humbly asked for donations. I thought maybe their is someone out there who would want to help with my cause. I reached out to moms who have babies who can't fit their tutus, head bands or hats anymore. or anyone who just had anything they wanted to give.


It happened!! I began receiving responses to my request for help in making a difference in this world. With tear filled eyes I read through each comment and couldn’t believe the kindness that was pouring in and seeing the love others had to give!!


I received a package in the mail, I took it into my lil studio and sat on the floor and opened the box. Immediately my eyes overflowed with tears!! How could this be!! The box was filled with tutus, hats, flowers clips, head bands, hair bows and a beautiful letter! All’s I could do is cry!! I couldn’t believe someone would donate so many beautiful things all of them new! I sat in aww and disbelief at what I was looking at! As tears ran down my cheeks over the beautiful things in this box, I began to realize that this box of tutu's and things meant so much more! It meant that God seen my heart and is trusting me with my dream! He provided above and beyond! Of what I could have asked for!! It still makes me cry! And that was just the beginning another beautiful package came in the mail with the softest hats beautifully colored head bands and flower clips! I was overwhelmed with excitement as another person was teaming up with me to make a difference in this world!! And then a good friend of mine gave me loads of things from her baby girl!!!


I cannot begin to thank the people who have not only blessed me but are being a beacon of hope to some small child out in this cold dark world! When that little one sits down to eat their bowl of food and fill their belly’s. I can only hope they will realize that bowl of food is not just food but a big bowl of love and compassion!! I Hope they realize that someone out their cares!!


I can only pray God blesses those who so kindly gave, above and beyond... for their love and kindness they have shown!!! Seeds have been sown and I pray the harvest from those seeds is more than anyone of us can imagine!!!
