Welcome! I am so glad you are here!

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10~

I can no longer be content living life the way I have, the way I have actually strived to in the past... to be safe, healthy, and comfortable. There is more to life than a cute house, organized closets, and a full schedule. It has been stirring in my soul for a while now. Bits and pieces have come here and there, but I knew there was more. Thus, "Something More than you and me..." has been born. There is nothing wrong with the above mentioned, but there is more... much more. I want to be aware of that daily and I want to bring my children up with that mentality, with that heart. There is a world out there that we are called to serve, to minister to, to see, to help, to love, to advocate for... and to change. For most of us, distraction keeps it from our minds. And that's what the enemy wants. This blog is a place where you can enter that world and where YOU can make a difference... where you can be the hands and feet of Christ.

Much, much love... Dawn

Free Fridays


Being the hands and feet of God, being a reflection of His love, and being His servant does not cost money all the time (even microgiving money).  There are so many ways to reflect that love.  And when we take the time and thought to do that, we often uplift people who need it at the exact time they need it.  That's where the Holy Spirit comes into action!  Just bringing a smile to someone's face is sharing God's love... and that is free... free to give at anytime and anyplace... and in many ways.

Today's free Friday gift of love involves a phone... a land line phone or a cell phone.  It can be as big or as little as you want.  Call one person and tell them you are thankful and glad they are your friend... and tell them one thing you really like about them or that you like to do with them.  That could be it!  Terribly easy and almost effortless... but THOUGHTFUL.

Or you can text one person... or five... or ten... and just tell them you love them.

"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless."
"She opens her mouth with skillful and godly Wisdom, and in her tongue is the law of kindness--
giving counsel and instruction." Proverbs 31:26~

    Hi Dawn,

    Thank you so much for your blog. It is such a blessing to me and I am certain to many who follow it and even beyond that through word of mouth and prayer. It is a great example of what people can do if adoption is not possible for them or even if they have adopted. I hope people will see that they can make an impact even if they can only do something small for the orphans and needy of this world. I am a frequent follower of "One Beautiful Life" It is a joy to hear about Gods blessing in your life. Thank you for being God's viceroy.

    “You are God’s viceroy, God’s representative.
    You are God’s stand-in, a God Carrier.
    You are precious; God depends on you.
    God believes in you and has no one but you
    To do the things that only you can do for God.
    Become what you are.”
    -Archbishop Desmond Tutu

    Love this quote! God can do everything he wants with out us but isn't it wonderful that he allows us to be part of his grand plan.
