Blogging? Say What?

First off I just want to mention that I have no blogging experience. I have really no idea what I am doing. Actually I had to look at other bloggers and google it many times to try to figure out what exactly I needed to do to even make a blog. I have always enjoyed writing but since having kids I have pushed it to the side. With this blog I hope to get back in the swing of things. I also hope to find followers that feel the same way I do about God and what he is calling us to do. Between all the crazy things going on in our lives with family and work we often forget about what is the most important, our relationship with God. He needs to be the number one relationship we have in our lives. Although as a mom and a wife it is hard to put Him first. Kids are needing your love and kisses, help with homework, dinner, bathes, laundry. It's hard for any of us to say that can wait. What does God need from me right now? I am hoping that some people feel the same way that I do and maybe together we can support each other to be who He has called us to be. For me, I know he has called me to help. I feel a very strong urge to help those around me. I have recently done a few food drives for local food banks. Helped with different foundations in our area to help the needy. 7 Hills Homeless shelter. The United Way. Just finished helping my son and his cub scout troup raise over 1500 items for a food bank right down the road from my house. As much as I have tried to help and so many others too, I still drive down the road and see a man standing on the side of the road in the pouring rain with a sign " my family needs help". My heart breaks! Think about it for just a second. How long could one of us go without our job? How long if we lost our job today would we make it before we would be on the same curb righting frostbite? That's is crazy. That is scary! So as a part of this blog I am going to live for someone else. I am going to do something for some one other than myself everyday for the rest of this year. I know you are thinking, ' You are crazy, you can't do something for someone else everyday'. lol Well this is me. This is what I am going to do! It doesn't have to be anything big everyday. Maybe today I will start with helping the guy standing in the rain on the corner. In the end I am going to post a blog each day with what I did to help another. I appreciate all ideas and hope that maybe my blog will help inspire other people to see what is happening in our community or what is He calling you to do?!?!!?
