Creating a mission

I was laying in bed tonight, praying, thinking that my life doesn't seem to have much meaning. Going to work every day seems so boring, so mundane. Lately I feel like I am filling a lot of my time with meaningless things, reading, Facebook, video games, TV.
I realized how disconnected, and how easily, it becomes when you take a step away from the word and prayer and active Christian fellowship.
During my prayers tonight I really felt lead to start a group of Christian individuals who would like to help struggling single parents. I have seen so hard it is for others around me to have the responsiblities of parenting and life on thier own. I really would like to help parents by giving them a night of free time to catch up on things they need to do, wether it be errands or some well deserved "me time."
I am still mulling over how to accomplish this and get it started, but I think it would be a great thing to offer a parent some free daycare in a time when they most need it.
If you have any great ideas please share! I really want to make a difference in both the parents and the child's lives and hopefully lead them to the faith that I have. The true meaning of why were were giving this opportunity on earth.

  2. What a wonderful idea! Single parents really need all the support they can get.

    If you are looking for some help in finding direction in your life, I have been reading "Cure for the Common Life" by Max Lucado, which talks about living the life God created you for. Sounds like a book that might help you out of your rut and onto your new mission.

    Best of luck to you!
