I would like to introduce this steemit community to my new project #GivingBackSundays, that I thought of for a while now, but was a little hesitant about doing it, but I finally decided that I should do it since it's those little things and little steps that make the difference in the world, even if they are really small.
I have always believed in the bible and I have always believed and trusted God in directing my steps and always will. God has always been my provider, my healer, my strength, my comfort, my hope, my salvation.
One of the things that I always believed and tried to live by is that you rest on the seventh day, which is Sunday for myself, it might be different for other religions or beliefs.
This is why I have not been posting any posts here on steemit on Sundays. Even though I don't really think of Steemit as work, because I just love doing it, but because I do receive an income from it, I treat is as work.
This is just my beliefs and I just hope that this will not stop you from reading this post any further or give a helping hand.

Every Sunday I will make a simple post sharing the word of God, just like I did above, because I love sharing the word of God with others because it has really helped me and my family and really changed my life so I would love to share this with others and maybe it can be very helpful to you and inspire you.
All of the proceedings, 100% of the earnings on these GivingBackSunday will be split between the three amazing projects and people who have inspired me in a great way and I would like to contribute to that, but I will need your HELP because with your upvote you will make a difference and change someone's life for the better.
I'm not asking for donations, which if you would like to make you can go directly @familyprotection, @gratefulvibes or @joordanzz, but really all I would like to ask you is your upvotes that will help not one, not two, but three different projects. All upvotes count and by upvoting, you are really making a huge difference and we really appreciate your kind and loving hearts.

Even if you don't believe in the bible, please don't let that stop you from doing good in the world. It's those small steps that count, it doesn't have to be anything big.
A lot of times we hesitate or don't think that those little things can change someone's life, or make any difference and this is the biggest mistake we make because it is those small, those tiny things that make the difference.
A simple smile can make someone's day or even change how they think of themselves, simple kind words can change someone's life even when we don't think anything about it, a warm hug, or a simple call can change life, a simple upvote that we sometimes think of should I, it will not make a big difference can change someone's life.
Let me explain a little about the three different projects that I mentioned above.
@FAMILYPROTECTION is just one of the best projects here created by @canadian-coconut and @markwhittam who are both just beautiful and lovely people who fight against families being destroyed by the social services. I absolutely love what this @familyprotection is doing and how it is a voice and support and huge help to those going through having their families taken apart.

Another fantastic project that is dear to my heart and of course it has to do with kids is @GRATEFULVIBES created by a very kind and sweet @paradise-found. #Gratefulvibes is hands down the best challenge here in this community that can change your life for the better.

I love how by making this community a better place, @paradise-found is making the difference by helping WWH2H which is a Christian Ministry in Honduras. This is amazing. @paradise-found will donate 50% of his posts rewards of his 70-day #gratefulvibes challenge to these kids in the orphanage in Honduras that includes a medical clinic, and bilingual schools. Here is the link to his post.

The last contribution is to my son @joordanzzz who I would love to help his dream to come true of going to Spain and playing football for Barcelona.
@joordanzzz is a very hard working, goal oriented 15 year old who will pretty much do anything to pursue his football dream.
Last two years, @joordanzzz has been collecting bottles and got a summer job to save money so that he can go to Europe, but mostly Spain to pursue his football dream but as a mom, it is heartbreaking not to be able to help your child to pursue their dream.
I have not met any boys his age, that work as hard or want to succeed as much as he does and that is why he is trying to work so hard on steemit to raise money to pursue his goals and dreams.
@joordanzzz in 2014 with his trophy and his best coach he ever had in El Salvador.
Right now @joordanzzz goal is to go to England for a soccer camp during March Spring Break which right now is the most affordable camp with a really good reputation and results and that means he has to save $3,000 which he already saved $1,000. This is his dream and this would be one step closer to it.

These are the main project here right now that means a lot to me and I will contribute to 100% from these Every Sunday post. I would love to get your support with whatever you can. Like I said it's only once a week, I'm not asking for donations but your kind heart to upvote and by doing it, you are giving a helping hand and changing peoples lives and making the world a better place.

I'm not sure why, but this post brought tears to my eyes.
I don't think it ever happened to me reading a post on Steemit.
I agree with you that #gratefulbibes is the best challenge here on Steemit, some of my favorite posts I've wrote and read are part of this challenge.
I'll definitely check out @familyprotection and for your son, I wish him all the best with pursuing his dream. It is definitely rare to see young people his age to work that hard for their dreams.
By the way, I used to be obsessed with watching football from the age of 13 until 17-18. Barcelona and Roma were my favorite teams and one of my big dreams is still to visit Camp Nou. :)
Sorry @nikolina for not replying sooner, but we had family emergency and had to travel away from town and probably will not be on steemit for few more days.
I used to love watching football with my dad too. I think that is very cool that Barcelona is one of your favorite teams and hopefully you will be able to visit Camp Nou.
Would it be awesome if we would be there at the same time.
No problem @joalvarez, I hope everything is okay.
That would be amazing and so exciting, I've never met anyone from Steemit before. I would love to travel and meet Steemians, hehe. :)
Aww man, I wanna visit Nina!! You are blessed!!
We should organize a Meet up, haha! :)
