{Day 46}

This is a personal post.  A letter to myself…

Remember the beginning of the year?  That night you couldn’t sleep and at first it didn’t seem any different from the many other sleepless nights you’d had before.  Eyes wide open staring into the dark.  Looking, seeking for something that wouldn’t quite materialize.  Yet a spark was lit in you and even though you had a fear of failing you recognized that the greatest failure would be to do nothing at all.  Wasting the beautiful life you have been given would be failure.  The best things come from stepping outside your comfort zone.  You’re the girl that wouldn’t even comment on blogs you loved, didn’t have Facebook, and was terrified at the thought of writing.  Period.  (Even in your journal…lame).  Maybe creating a post is like pulling teeth…almost every.single.time, but here you are 75 posts later.  (Don’t forget you also have Facebook and Twitter (which you have no idea how to REALLY use…ahem, it’s ok you’re a work in progress.)) It’s alright to fail.  To not be perfect.  To be perfectly imperfect.  God’s holding you.  So you can rest.

UPDATE:  O.K. some more donations came in but we still haven’t hit the $5,000 mark. Let’s break past that number today! We need to raise $173.27 today in order to do that.  We are doing this for orphans.  These aren’t fictional children they are flesh and blood little ones.  These are some of the orphans in Warm Blankets orphan homes:
