Well, as promised, today I'm sharing a bit of my heart on Bon Blog Designs and the changes I'm making.
I have been designing for about a year now, and I just love it. It is a great outlet of creativity, and I get to know some awesome bloggers so well. I love having the opportunity to help others and see their vision for their blogs. Plus, I just feel as if I'm having a blast every time, and that makes it all worth it.
The other day, however, I was reading this lovely lady's blog and some of the organizations that she has on there, and I mentioned to Billy, "I wish I could start a business that just helped fight a cause." Immediately, I felt God screaming into my head: "You already have a business." And, then, not immediately, I prayed about it. I talked to Billy about it. He prayed about it. We didn't need to take all of that time to think and pray; we pretty much knew what the next step was.
Also, oddly enough, I didn't have to think very hard about where to send the money. I actually am not revealing that yet. I'm still communicating with the organization, but hopefully by Wednesday, I'll be able to share with you all where the proceeds from Bon Blog Designs are all going.
I don't think that my consistent readers would be very surprised because you all know where my heart's at. I'm more surprised that we haven't chosen to do this earlier. I'm excited to share more about where the money's going. Just know that it has something to do with Anti-Slavery and Prostitution. (Again, who's surprised?!)
This is wonderful! I'm so happy you're doing this! I'm taking a non-profit management class right now and I'm actually in the process of starting my own organization, part of which will work on anti-trafficking prevention strategies for girls. And since you're planning this, I'll definitely come back to you for a blog makeover (even though I LOVE the one you did for me last year).
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're combining your heart and your passion. That's what life is about isn't it?
This is wonderful news! And makes me so proud that you designed my blog. You are talented beyond words in your blog designing, writing, prayers, etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me (and probably others) that life is not about money. And giving is one of the greatest gifts of all.
