Before you read the rest of this blog I ask the Holy Spirit to touch your heart and to let you see through my words what I am trying to do without judging me. May God himself open your eyes so you can see that what I am trying to do is just helping someone who is in need.
One of my heart’s desires is to be able to help people around me; maybe that’s why I want to go to do missions. Four years ago, one of my friends shared an article from a magazine in Colombia. It was the story of a girl who created a non-profit organization to help people at her city that needed clothes, food and education. They didn’t say how, but even though she was living there, most of the help she had was from organizations of this country, the United States. Since I read that article I couldn’t take the idea of getting something like that and I did start already without even knowing. I don’t have a non-profit organization yet and have no clue about how to create one, but I’ve been able to help people I know, people the Lord has sent to my path for a reason.
When I was living at Coronado, Ca. the dream came to my mind again and I found myself thinking a name for it. If God provides a way for my dream to come true, I will call it “Pinceladas de amor”, which I translate as “ A Touch of love”. I chose that name because I may not be able to change the whole world, but if I can touch a life, if I can share a touch of love with someone, that will be the kind of difference that I want to make. Just one touch is enough to change someone’s life and it is worth it! I chose it in Spanish because I want to help people at my country, especially children. It is on my heart, it is a dream I have only shared with my husband a few months ago and now I am opening my heart to share it with you.
