Just Do Something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was almost 4 years ago that God really birthed this idea of doing something for Childrenscup in my heart, and to be honest at the time I had no clue or even idea what I was going to do. I knew that after going to Africa and seeing the children and hearing the sounds of Suffering and witnessing the hands of injustice I could not just sit idly by in a church pew any more, or to be even more specific I could not just settle with doing church outreaches anymore. I love doing Church outreaches and all the events that we do with all my heart but I also knew it was not taking me outside of my own comfort zone. Going beyond what someone else set up for me and stepping out in my walk with God personally. Making my own life an outreach and my own heart an access to people more than just an allotted time period on the weekends. There was a burning desire in me to do more and to reach more and to settle for less. As I began searching for different ideas about what to do and possibly how to raise money for the kids there began to be this overwhelming sense of barrenness, this sense of I have no resources, no connections, no equipment or even idea of what to do or how to even go about doing anything. But the one thing I did know was this, every great story in Gods word came from people ( ordinary like you and me) stepping out in blind faith. I had this thought in my mind we have to JUST DO SOMETHING we cant sit around and think all the time or talk about how great it would be to actually do something. I wanted my faith and my relationship with God to be shown through my Heart first and then through my hands actively doing his work (Reaching)! I did not have a clue where to start but I watched and learned and began to ask questions. I prayed and read and started having ideas and in my heart. Faith started to grow and passion built it self by being active. You cant build a fire unless you blow a little wind into the coals, and the more wood you add the more air you will need to help it grow. I really believe that this day and age God is looking for and raising up more people who are wiling to just do something. Weather that means just simply serving on the weekends by holding a door open at church or putting together a huge food drive it does not matter. God is looking for those that are willing to Just Do Something, so my challenge to you is that that thing you feel burning inside you to do Go and do something with it for God. Ask Him how and what and He will show you, He wants to because he Has a plan and a purpose that He wants to work through you.
