Normally, if someone handed me a $100 bill, I would have no problem spending it. However, this $100 was different. It sat on my kitchen counter for weeks as I stared at it and waited for a sign for what I was to do with it. Bo and I came up with many great ideas. Friends had wonderful suggestions for how to use the money. I just kept waiting for that moment that I would know what God was calling me to do. The one common denominator in all of our ideas was that we wanted to do something that we could continue long after the three month time period ended. Ever since I met Bo, he has always had a dream of starting a charitable organization. Together, we decided that this was the time to do it and that God had given us a little jump start. Our group is called "Friends on a Mission" and we have started the application process to become a charitable organization using some money left to me by my mother. Our goal will be to host an event each year to raise money for a local cause and also to gather friends and neighbors to provide a hands on service each year for a local group in need. We welcome anyone who would like to help in these projects or give us suggestions of groups that could use our help. The initial $100 was given as an anonymous gift to help a student in need at the school where I work. We are looking forward to continuing to serve God's Kingdom as we begin this new adventure.
