Realizations

"We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us."
~~Marianne Williamson

I came to a serious realization this very morning. I had been asking God for guidance all year long and instead of me "listening" I "assumed". I started school to become a spiritual counselor and that was a perfect move for me. I know for a fact that this is what God wanted. But, when it comes to my family mission I lost focus of why this all began and who began it. I didn't create this - God did! He knew I had a strong desire and passion to help others, so He placed the idea in my heart and lead me every step of the way. Now, here's where I get real with myself. Because I saw how easily people helped organizations with non-profit status I (alone) assumed this was what God wanted me to do. I thought if we attain this status more people would want to help us, but the truth is this is NOT about what others will do. This is about the love my Father and I posses for other beings. It's about uplifting those who need it most. Jesus didn't search for backers nor did he seek approval from anyone other than God. I lost my focus and I have begged Him for forgiveness. This mission is about ONE family doing God's work. It's about what God has placed before us. We accept what is and what will be, because we know He will be with us every step of the way.

If obtaining non-profit status is the only way people will help us, then we will lovingly pass. We are servants of God and all I/we every wanted was to help others. We will do this! We will do this on the strength of God and not a status that others have made us believe we needed to succeed. Because, at the end of the day ALL WE NEED IS GOD & EACH OTHER.

We've Hit The Ground Running Over At Afiveoh4uplifting.org!!

It's a new year and we have hit the ground running!! Our mini vacation is over and we want to uplift thousands of beings. In 2009 we uplifted 3,000+. This year we are aiming for to double that! Yes, that means we are gearing up to uplift the lives of 6,000 beings!!!

These past two years have shown us that "Anything Is Possible!" We've overcome many obstacles, so we are going full steam ahead!!

Ok, so we are starting the new year by sending off our very first box of goody bags to Shriner's Hospital For Children in Shreveport, La!! The box was mailed this morning (1/2/10) to be exact!

We love doing what we do and we're so honored that the patients of Shriners in Shreveport, La are the first recipients of the year!!!


We sent this goody bag to a beautiful woman battling cancer. We are holding her in our hearts and prayers and we ask that you do the same. (-:


We visited Dollar Tree yesterday in search of figurines and what we found was too cute for words!!
These lovelies will be sent to the adults we uplift and I have to admit I am super excited to send the very 1st
one off!! Are they not just the cutest?!
