Would this work?

God calls us to give. So many times actually, it's ridiculous that we forget and don't do it.
I've been kind of thinking about how to give, what God would want me to give, how much, when and where and why. I don't necessarily know..

What about this:
For a certain amount of time (I'm thinking 2 weeks), I will promise to God that I will give everytime he asks me. Every opportunity that I see, I will give what I have.
Whether it's food, or clothes, money, time or whatever, I will give it.


I wonder if God will actually bring opportunities for me to do this. Isn't that how life should always work? Everytime the opportunity comes up, you can count it as God's hand and we should act on it? So really, I should constantly be on the lookout and be giving every opportunity? Or does God ask us to say no sometimes?
I'm a little worried that will ask me to give some ridiculous amount, like all my savings for school lol.
As scary as that is, God is so good. He has over-provided for me and He promises to keep doing that. I shouldn't worry about that. It feels good too, to take a leap of faith like that. Knowing that it is a sacrifice, and it hurts, I feel like those are the kind of things God is pleased with. That is the kind of giving He expects.

I'm gonna mull that one over a bit.
