Day 73: I am back

Day 73: I am back! I have fallen again. Sometimes I think we all feel like we are yelling at The Lord saying where are you? We need him and he doesn't answer. But what about when he is yelling at us? I really feel like he has been yelling at me lately. Where are you krystle? I am talking to you and you aren't listening to me. I am guilty. I know God is calling me to follow through with this goal and yet I have been making excuses to not follow through. Well he doesn't want to hear our excuses. He wants to see action. We are supposed to be the leaders of men! What kind of leader makes excuses? Well not this one anymore. Not that I am really the leaders of men type but I get what God means when he says that and I got it. Right now he wants me to follow through with some projects I have been in, including this one! So the goal continues today! Today I received a pamphlet in the mail from convoy of hope with information about what they have been up to. I sent them money when the tornadoes hit in Oklahoma to help with disaster relief. Well I found out they help with children all over the world. So as my first step back towards Gods calling for me right now I plan to donate $10 a month to help convoy of hope feed hungry kids across the world! Where this money is going it says that $10 will feed one child for 30 days! I can't even imagine here trying to even feed my kids one day on $10 much less 30 days. Wow! Well anyways I am back in the game and have projects coming up in my community. Keep me in your prayers as I strive to live out Gods plan for my life!

Day 72: Chili's

Day 72: Today Chili's resturant is donating 10% of their proceeds to the tornado relief fund in Oklahoma for any of the customers on the email list. If you want to be a part and you don't recieve the email I am sure that you could ask about it and they will make an exception. It is going on at every Chili's resturant so if you live next to one think about having dinner there. It is a nice way to help out the tornado relief with little effort. A friend and I had lunch there today in order to help out.

Day 71: Oklahoma tornado

Day 71: Yesterday a tragedy hit Moore, Oklahoma. A e5 tornado. They are still trying to find everyone in the rubble. Two elementary schools were hit and half a dozen kids might have died. So far the number of casualties is almost 50 I think is what I heard last. So many families lost everything. At times like this I think how can I help? What can I do? Convoy of Hope is a foundation that travels to areas with disasters like this and helps. They bring water and food and personal items to the families who lost everything. We donated to this organization today. There are so many organizations out there helping the ones who are effected by this disaster that's I hope that if you feel it in your heart, that you and your family also will try to help. The American Red Cross is another one that's there helping. Try to look in your heart and see if you and your family can help these poor people that are all suffering loss right now. Whether its a house, a school, a parent, a child, a neighbor, an animal. They are all suffering a loss.

Day 70: birthday decorations

Day 70: Today was a birthday expo at the local mall. The local radio station was setting up a station at it to have donations of birthday decorations for people who can't afford to give their kids birthdays. The Samaritan house does a birthday box for those people. So KLRC was taking the donations for the Samaritan house. I loved this idea. Every year I buy decorations for my kids parties and we use them one time then what? I store them in a drawer. Well today we took all of our stuff up there to donate it. We had number 1 party, Minnie Mouse, jungle animals, spongebob, Disney princess and hello kitty plus extra streamers. I feel like we really helped some other little kids get a fun party who might not of otherwise.

Day 69

Day 69: Friday was an easy day and not much was going on. I did buy everyone cookies again at work today. Nice little treat for everyone on Friday.

Day 68: Hunter's day

Day 68: As you can tell with today's and yesterday's posts that sometimes I can do something for another person but its not the story I want to share. Sometimes the other people in my small family do something that makes me really want to share it with others. Anyways Hunter is my son who is 7. And today I want to share my story of his day. Today was the $1 book fair at his school. They have one at the end of every school year. Hunter came and asked me for some money in order to buy some books. After a little haggling we decided on $5. So he took his money and I dropped him at school. That evening he came home with 4 books. I was concerned that he was shorted a book so I asked him why he only had 4 books. He replied 'mom my friend didn't have any money for a book and he really liked this same book as me so I gave him my dollar to buy it.' That kid sure does make me so proud. I said Hunter that was really nice of you and you make mommy really proud of you! My little Hunter has been putting others ahead of him at times lately and it really does make me think that maybe we are doing something right. Lol

Day 67: Kurt's day

Day 67: Today Kurt came home with the story of helping someone today. He was driving down the road going from one work site to another and he saw a homeless man. Kurt told me that he was close to the sonic so he went and bought him some lunch.
