Because I am very organized {not} and have shared every thought that flows through my head here {not}, you probably already know about my work over at She Seeks {not}.

At the She Speaks conference last year, I was honored to be asked to work on a new site — a division of Proverbs 31 Ministries called She Seeks. Initially I was only going to setup the website, but have stayed on as their She Seeks Techie. I find that God has a wonderful sense of humor and thinks our plans are funny. See, my plan would be to write/minister to women just like me — 30-something, wives, mothers, bloggers But God’s plan was for me to be involved with a site for 18-29 year olds, singles, new mommies, college kids, etc. What I’ve found is even though the site may target that age group, I have been getting a lot out of the devotions written there and the video logs that have been shared.

This week She Seeks has offered up a challenge to those who may not be able to send money to help those in Haiti. When something that devastating happens, it’s hard to know what one little person can do. So, here’s the challenge — go over to She Seeks, watch the video and share the link to the Compassion site. Leave a comment there (not here – I’m closing comments on this post so you’ll go there!), and for each comment up to 300, $1 will be donated to Compassion’s Haiti fund. You may not be able to give financially, but maybe someone you share the link with can give financially if they only knew about Compassion’s work there.

What are you waiting for? Go, watch, share, comment!

Ok, so Robin didn’t make me do it…She inspired me to do it.

I finally sponsored a child through Compassion. I could no longer take the blog posts from the recent India trip. I struggled with what criteria to use. I decided that since my birthday is Thursday, I would choose a girl who shared my birthday — sort of a Happy Birthday present for the child being sponsored on their birthday.

So, here she is!

Personal and Family Information:
Zharick lives with her mother. Her duties at home include running errands and cleaning. Her mother is employed.

As part of Compassion’s ministry, Zharick participates in Bible class. She is also in pre-school where her performance is average. Singing, playing house and playing with dolls are her favorite activities.

Your love and support will help Zharick to receive the assistance she needs to develop her potential. Please pray for her.

She’s ours. I’m way new to this, so I’ll be looking to some veteran sponsors to help me with ideas. Like are letters the only thing I can send? Can I send one or a million stuffed animals to this girl? Guess I need to go read through Compassion’s site I’m sure they have that information there.

I can’t wait to read more of Robin’s experiences in India. They all arrived home safely yesterday and I’m sure are spending tons of time with their families! Still keep them in your prayers. They will likely have a tough time adjusting to being at home again.

If you haven’t sponsored a child yet, please go do so.
