Love Act #1: Donate Clothes

I've had a closet full of clothes to give away for the longest time, but I never got around to figuring out where to donate. I really wanted to give it to a place that really really needed it, and I hadn't come up with anywhere until today.


I think I gathered up about 65 pieces of clothing, and since it is mostly girl clothes I decided to donate to Boysville of Texas. They have a thrift store program that goes towards funding clothing & scholarships for children at Boysville. I will be delivering them tomorrow. Yay for Love Act #1!

Seeking First the Kingdom

I must admit I do not have a lot to say on this first post. My heart and my focus is on serving. And even as I write this I feel slightly guilty for having spent so much time putting this blog together, time I could have spent sowing a random act of love. I really feel like I need to get started before my initial excitement runs out, so this is going to be short!

The mission is quite simple: Sow seeds of love into the lives of others and expectantly wait for an abundant harvest.

I have only recently realized how many ways I can bless others everyday through random acts of kindness that cost little to nothing. It's crazy to think how much time I have wasted praying for God to show me where to serve when the opportunities infront of me were endless.

Everyday I will endeavor to make love an action verb. And by that I mean that I will actually show love by doing something for someone. It's time for me to step out of my box and live love in action, not just in word and prayer.

The bible says that we are the body of Christ, and that we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus. That means physically showing the love of Christ through our deeds and actions. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, but my how we get so easily distracted with our own lives!

My prayer had been, "Lord bless me so that I can bless others." But the Lord replied, "Bless others so that I may bless you." So that is my call, and this is my mission.
