Fill My Cup

       This is the 100th entery on this blog and it came just in time for me to write about the 100 children I have touched within a year at work. The title of this entery is "Fill My Cup" because that is what I have been feeling like the Lord has been doing in my life this past year. He is filling up my cup more then I can handle but I love a challenge like that.
        I have paper stars on my wall with each of the childrens' names on a star after they leave and I've only reached a 100 children in a year. These are abused and negetled children here in the states that I'm working with. God "fills my cup" everytime I get a new group of children because I have to relearn everything and see what works for this group. Sometimes there are some kids that are more then I can handle because it could be mostly a group of 3 year olds but then it could mostly be a group of 4 and 5 year olds which is easy. Maybe a cup with the words "Fill My Cup" should be this next years wall display and see if I reach 100 kids again by next year.
         In Psalm 23, it says, "My cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." If God sends this many children to me and makes my cup overflow then surely He will give me enough goodness and love to use of these children. Making the difference that I am, I hope and pray that those children will dwell in the House of the Lord forever with me. That is what gives me the energy some days, I won't lie.
           It's not a easy job espically when you have to firgure out 100 children, but it is worth it in the end. To make different people and jobs see this in their jobs, mine isn't the only one that you can do it in. I have a friend that I got this idea from because of what my friend is doing right now. My friend is traveling to shows to tell people about the show he puts on and trying to get more sponsors to sponsor his show. God could "fill up his cup" by giving him more sponsors then he can handle and he wants that. His show is all about God and hunting. He goes to these shows not only to get sponsors and show people but with the hope to impact those people in some way. There are 4 guys and they all do it for the same reason because they are passionate about it. Once you are passionate about something, don't you want God to fill your cup up with that passion?
