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

The World's Water Crisis


Like many newsworthy stories, this one remains silent most of the time.  There is a crisis killing one child every 15 seconds.  That's 5000 children under the age of five per day.  It's not cancer.  It's simply dirty water.  Ninety percent of ALL the diseases in the world are caused by unsafe drinking water.  (information taken from "Living Water International's website)

Do you know how much it would cost to solve the world's water crisis?  Roughly 10 billion dollars.  Does that seem like a lot?

Guess how much Americans alone spend a year on Christmas gifts?  Are you ready?  That answer is 450 billion dollars.  People in the United States spend 450 billion dollars for gifts for one day and 10 billion dollars can solve the WORLD'S water crisis...

Why can't we wrap our heads around this?  Why can't we reprioritize what's important?  We can.  And it happens ONE person at a time.  Can you imagine what would happen if every ONE person that spends that 450 billion dollars would take the amount of money for just ONE gift and donated it towards clean water? 

Are you smiling yet?  You can be ONE of those ONES and you can tell ONE other person about it.  The power of ONE is transforming.
