It feels like forever that I have shared my experiences in a post and it has been forever. I started out in April of 2011 with a goal to serve at least twice a month, in two different places for six months and even though I did not reach my goal (almost made it!), the whole experience has really impacted my life. Four months into the whole experience, I was on track to cross the finish line and meet the goals I set for myself. I served at two different places each month, which included the good, the bad and the ugly. Some places were more organized and others I missed more than half of the allotted serving time due to direction difficulties (smh). The latter months of my journey, I did not serve at two different places a month but I did serve at least once a month. I ended up really liking one place in particular, Loaves and Fishes, a non profit run by St. Stephen and Incarnation Episcopal Church in DC, that serves lunch to the homeless community of within the city. Loaves has a special place in my heart. So for the past couple of months, I have spent my Sundays and Saturdays there. I am re-dedicating myself to writing in this blog. I really want to share my experiences with all those who would like to hear and hopefully encourage others to step out and be an aadvocate for those in need in their community. My goal in 2012 is to continue to serve those in my community at some of my favorite organizations but at the same time step out of the box once again and try some new serving opportunities. In addition to service, I would like to give financially to different organizations that are close to my heart. God has blessed me with so much in life, I really want to give back to those in need financially and service wise.
* I have allot on my heart to share in 2012. Stay tuned....
