This weekend was a tad quieter than last but definitely still great.
{Yin Yoga on Friday night with Lindsay Bear, followed by junk food & a movie}
On Saturday Lindsay and I went to the Volunteer Fair that one of our malls was hosting. We learned quite a bit and signed up to volunteer with a few Organizations. One being the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which serves for children with life-threatening medical conditions. I am SO excited to be a part of this & can't wait to be called for an event to make a difference in the little eyes and hearts of these beautiful children.

Yesterday's Daily Devotional really spoke to me because it was very fitting with my drive to becoming more involved in volunteer work. Proverbs 31 speaks about being a "Wife of Noble Character." God is truly speaking to my heart, especially this past weekend, and He is teaching me more & more about how to be a wonderful Woman of God.
"She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy."
Proverbs 31:20

Wow, good for you. Make-A-Wish is an awesome organization. I'm going to start volunteering with the Aiken county humane society in June when I move to SC. I can't wait.
Melissa- sounds like a wonderful weekend!
don't you just love when God reminds you of things and shows you through his scriptures? it always makes my heart happy :)
I'm glad you had a great weekend filled with friends, great food and yoga! The make-a-wish sounds so wonderful and I look forward to reading future posts about it!
That is such a great event to be a part of! I'm sure the kids will appreciate all the work.

Awww, you are SO sweet!! I have always wanted to volunteer with the MAW foundation. They do SO MUCH good in this world!!
Love those sunglasses!
Missy, I am so proud of you. SO proud of you! That is a wonderful thing to be a part of. I remember the first time hearing about it as a child, it may have been on Opprah but I remember being little. From that moment I thought how amazing it is that we, us as individuals can help to fulfill a miracle. One doesn't have to wait for a miracle to come along, we can do that and make dreams come true. You are the perfect person to be apart of it. I adore you for that.
PS. I'm a terrible friend, I still haven't mailed your gift! That love letter I wrote you is becoming so outdated. I PROMISE to mail it soon. Hopefully Saturday I'll beable to make it to the post office. I'll put it on my phone as an alert to remind me :)
I LOVE YOU!
i was able to make-a-wish when i was 16 after having thyroid cancer, and it was truly a beautiful experience. i'm still so grateful for all of the awesome people that made my wish come true. it's so great that you are volunteering with them, and i hope to do the same sometime in the near future!
