Just getting started

Well this is the first time i have ever "blogged" in fact, i just had to email a friend and ask how and what exactly you do to "blog"......seems in this day and age i should have already known - but i guess we learn something new EVERYday :)
At any rate, my sudden interest in the blogger world came about earlier today when after months of thought and prayer i finally decided to sign up to sponsor a child thru Compassion International! My boss, Ron has been sponsoring a little boy for quite some time and has really enjoyed it- he is the one who initially planted the seed in my heart about it, then months later God reminded me of the cause during a sermon at church when my Pastor mentioned that he sponsored several children thru the same organization... well two clear messages and several months of thinking have finally gotten me HERE :)
Today i officially committed to sponsoring a child thru Compassion International! Her name is Blanca, she is 6 years old, and living in Bolivia and i cannot WAIT to get my start-up kit and begin building a meaningful and special relationship with her! She is the most adorable little girl i have ever seen and there are so many more like Blanca who are waiting for sponsors to commit to them! You can search for children to sponsor by gender, age, country, etc or you can let them select for you. Each child only has one sponsor so you really get to have a positive impact on a child's life in a VERY REAL way! The financial commitment is $32 per month- but the effect it can have on a child's life is PRICELESS! Please take a minute and check out their website and see for yourself what it is all about! :)

On the Compassion International website there is all this talk about blogging for this effort and so i decided i finally had a reason to look into it and start!
...........here goes..........wish me luck ;) and special thanks to Ron for sharing this wonderful organization with me so that too would be able to get involved! :)
