Armor of God Introduction to Study!!

 I usually study the armor of God around the first of each year to get myself thinking about living good for the next year and leaning on God. I decided to do the girls devotional on the armor. I am doing it again now for the new girls. 

~ Littles Introduction ~

~ 10 + Years Introduction~

Those are the pages I sent to my littles and to my 10 and over girls. If you like the armor of God devotional I am fine with you using mine. Sometimes it is nice to get something already done. I do not do my own 'every' time. 

The rest is set to come. 

~ July 2002 ~ Edilia ~ Honduras ~

 I was working my first full time job for Microsoft/Sykes and living in my motor home. The radio was going one night when I heard the Positive Life Radio having a support Compassion program. I listened for a while and then went to the web site to look for a girl to support. 

I was browsing down the choices and came across Edilia, she looked so much like Karen Ann that I had to choose her to support. It was love at first site. I started learning Spanish so that I could read her letters not just the translations. I did not learn much but the start was fun anyway.

This was the next photo that I received of Edilia, and she was such a cutie as she grew, and I sent her lots of photos and things when we were still allowed to mail things to the kids. I miss those days. It was fun to send them real things, but it saves money and I understand the need to stop sending.

    Edilia's family got a better job and did not need Compassion anymore so in around 2004 she was gone. I was moving and changing jobs so I did not sponsor again until I was settled. I will not go into my sponsorships after Edilia because I had several off and on as I had work, 

    I will start sharing with the girls that have touched my life since I came back fulltime to Compassion in 2012. Along with some of the devotionals that I have done and letters written to the girls.

 Welcome to My Compassion Blog!!

    Today is the first day of my Compassion Blog again. I used to blog for Compassion years ago. I want to share the ups and downs of full-time life of writing over 200 girls. I am so blessed to have the time to touch the lives of all the girls. I am working on the way to 250 girls. I love writing to the girls. 

    I believe that Compassion is dedicated to help the kids they work with and support the churches that they support for Compassion projects, and that is important all the way around. 

    Honduras is my heart country. When I got my full-time job for Microsoft I decided I needed something to tithe for and had not found a job. I was listening to PLR one night and they had a Compassion sponsor weekend. 

    I believe that Compassion is dedicated to help the kids that they work with and support the churches that support for Compassion projects, and that is the important part all around. 

    I got on the website and looked up girls that needed sponsored. I found Edilia on the search page, and she looked so much like my little cousin Karen Ann that I missed so I sponsored her. 

Next would be my Asian countries. I have special girls in all 25 countries that Compassion serves in. There are always good writiers and blah writers in each country. You learn to just talk to them when you write so they get a good letter. 

    I will start posting some interesting things on my blog as soon as I start setting it up, but wanted to get one quick post as the first day. 

    I would like to do Saturdays as the devotional or special songs, or things like that. I want to start with my Armor of God study and go from there. So, be sure and check back on Saturdays for some fun.
