I guess everybody's week must have been pretty rough.

So lately I've been drinking a lot of coffee.
I don't know if that's very good for me or not...



Something I've been really pumped about lately is the 30 hour famine.
I've been so ready to do something. To make a difference.
I seems like lately everyone has been saying the some thing.
I need to do something and through TCTC and individual people weather it be Denis preaching a sermon, something from the Bible, or just me and Kara mentioning it, I've been inspired to do something.

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds."
Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by what I do.

You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called God's friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.

In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.

-James 2:14-26

So with this whole 30 hour famine thing sparked some interest in me and I went to their website. I read a bunch of blogs, and random stuff. I eventually was led to a child sponsorship page and I talked to Kara about it.

She immediately agreed. Together, we're now sponsoring a little girl in Peru named Sandra.
:]

It makes me so happy to know that I'm actually going to make some sort of a difference, but I could do so much more. So I'm going to keep trying.

Anyways I plan on researching a bunch of stuff on Peru and am really looking forward to getting more information on all of this.

I hope everyone has a good week!
