I'm just going to write...

Okay, as part of my new position here at the Mama Cares Foundation, I feel that it would be an injustice for me not to document or at least record the amazing things that are being accomplished within these walls.

I must admit, however, that I am a major perfectionist and the fact that I am jumping on a computer and writing my thoughts without proper revision scares me. But, if I don't write, I will look back someday and wish I did. So here goes nothing.

We received the holiday wish lists today. "Being humbled" by reading them is practically the understatement of the year. Have you ever just asked your mom for socks before? Because that is the sort of request that I just read. But you know what made the tears fall, the fact that I sat in a room with five people earlier this morning that are going to do something about this need. And not just five people but many more are jumping on board to see 500 families have a proper Christmas dinner and ensure that 11 families have their wish lists fulfilled. Amazing, right? And I am a part of it.

You know, moving across country a million times over is challenging but it is amazing how quickly self pity parties are rained out when you realize the extent of impact your one life can have. With one step of faith, here I am... making a difference.

Prayer = The Lord's will ALWAYS be done in my life, despite my thoughts of what is "best" for me.
