Dear God,

I continue to think of things to write down and though I find it difficult at times to find the time to jot an emotional (or brilliant) thought I am inspired to do so through this blog.  I feel kind-of unsure as to how this blogging thing will go. I am using first initials to identify the people I care about and I am feeling a bit “unpersonal”.  I hope that if this is read by one of my “loved ones” that they will understand that their privacy matters most to me than anything.

I had an easy day at work and I want to praise you dear Lord for your blessing. I am thinking of multiple projects to do during my downtime and while this time is so precious especially during the school year I can honestly say that I am bored to death –at this time. I don’t want to work hard as this type of action actually requires thinking; rather, I want to work just enough to keep my sometimes impatient mind busy.

I left work early to drop off some things at the Goodwill store. I also stopped by a few other stores to buy school supplies and found some great deals at Target for my charity. I feel blessed when I buy stuff for the kids. My friend has informed me that she has collected more canned goods for my charity; this is so nice of her especially after the calamity that has inflicted the city.  My friend will also help pay for the cost of sending the box. I am excited to pass along this great news to my other classmates/friends.

Sometimes, I believe that this charity is only one of my callings. This charity fulfills me; it makes me a gracious person for the wonderful blessings I have (and often times ignore or take forgranted).  It creates in me a sense of fulfillment, a satisfaction that only can be achieved through the eyes of the children.  I am so grateful for this blessing of generosity.
