Proactive

So i've been reading this book called Forgotten God by francis chan and it's about remembering how important the Holy Spirit is and how we have to rely on Him to work in our lives. We have to trust that the Holy Spirit will work through us to do great things.
And one of the big challenges in this is taking risks or doing things that you have to absolutely trust in God for. And i thought long and hard for a long time about if there is anything i've ever done where i had to completely trust in God, and there wasn't much that came to mind. Needless to say it made me sad.
I want to do things so i can trust Him better. Trust Him completely. so i've been brainstorming something i can do that wouldn't be easy whether it's not easy for me financially, time wise, or whatever, i wanted to do something that would challenge me.
I come home a lot during my lunch hour and so on my way home for food i thought "know what, i'm gonna sponser a kid". 5 minutes after i get home i now sponsor a kid name Abenezer Daniel from ethiopia. The website said that he has been on the waiting list for over six months and i just felt like he needed someone, he's only 6.
I don't know why this would be considered a challenge to me but i'm glad i did this. I just pray that i can make a difference in him and his family's lives and vice versa. I'm excited to see how this all pans out and hopefully maybe i can even visit someday...
This is only one thing i can do out of so many and i don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I hope all of you guys can also do something like this, whether it's sponsor a kid or help out at soup kitchen or whatever, i just hope you guys will let the Holy Spirit lead you to be proactive.
Aaaaaaaand any prayer would be nice!
