Sometimes, silence is golden, yet other times you have to tell people your plans
Silence works, but when it effects other people, you have to let them know.

Put God First in your lives
Putting God first means not depending on technology to get your career on track. Ask God for guidance on where you would like to go.
Keeping Track of Volunteer Hours
"Volunteers and the administrative staff of the organizations where they volunteer need to keep track of volunteer hours for various reasons. Volunteers might need the hours for academic credit or to satisfy court or other requirements. Keeping track of the number of volunteer hours donated is important for the nonprofits for grants and donor reports. There are several relatively easy ways you can keep track of your volunteer hours."

Gotta sell it all!
The scripture Matthew 19:16-26 towards the end of the verse it says: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." It may be impossible for God, but man has to put in the work to make it possible for God to do his wonders.
"First, the goal isn't poverty, but rather love. What do you love?"
"Second, there will be conflict between earthly loves and a heart for God. Where is your heart?"
"Third, sell all, give up, renounce, divest yourself, but surrender ownership."
"Finally, selling possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 1st: it wasn't compulsory; it was voluntary. 2nd: You see, keeping the property, or even retaining part of the price was not sin, but lying about the property they were withholding something for themselves."
"Indeed, we worship comfort. Perhaps Jesus didn't mean a literal "sell everything", but he unavoidably commanded that we should not be materialists ... and for the most part, we are."

"Through Heaven's Eyes"
"Through Heaven's Eyes"
"Prince of Egypt" - Through Heaven's Eyes
Jethro:
A single thread in a tapestry-
Though its color brightly shine-
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design.
And the stone that sits on the very top
Of the mountain's mighty face-
Does it think it's more important
Than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life,
Look at your life through heaven's eyes.
Lai-la-lai...
A lake of gold in the desert sand
Is less than a cool fresh spring-
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy
Is greater than the richest king.
If a man lose ev'rything he owns,
Has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning
Of a new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man-
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come,
The answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes.
And that's why we share all we have with you,
Though there's little to be found.
When all you've got is nothing,
There's a lot to go around.
No life can escape being blown about
By the winds of change and chance,
And though you never know all the steps,
You must learn to join the dance-
You must learn to join the dance.
Lai-la-lai...
So how do you judge what a man is worth?
By what he builds or buys?
You can never see with your eyes on earth-
Look through heaven's eyes.
Look at your life,
Look at your life,
Look at your life through heaven's eyes!

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an indifel."
Providing does not mean, it has to be monetary.

Without faith it is impossible to please him
Heb 11:6
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."
KJV
The faith to believe what is unseen. When it talks about pleasing him I have neglected seeking his face. I am a person without a God, but God continually tries to get my attention. My job was taken away. My income to provide for my family was taken. Yet, all this, I failed to see Him. I honestly try to avoid God, yet he tries to get my attention through the people who I care about me.
So, I must continue to seek his face. No matter the circumstances. Remember, always be in prayer.
