what's going on in the world?

What's going on in the world? Earthquakes in China, children killing children, and children starving all over the world. There are so many tough things happening.

So I ask myself what are we doing about it or what can we do about it?
Then wonder how guilty I should feel when I flip a switch and there is light, when I turn on hot water to shower, when I sit next to a pool drinking a virgin colada? These are the questions I ask myself.

I am challenged and wonder if I sacrifice enough to make a change in this world. There are countless testimonies of friends who are just awesome. Just recently I met a humble man who adopted 2 children (his gifts) from China, one has a blood disease and the other had a stroke and lost use to his whole right side, and now recovering. These new parents not only decided to care for children who were strangers, but children who were not healthy and needed to be loved. They are my present day heroes. They've now sacrificed their whole life to make a positive change in these 2 lives. Hat off to them!!

Boy, is this a challenge for me. I pray that God may show us as a family to value every moment and everyday and to see what God is calling us to do to bring Him to life in those around us. Even though there is pain and hurt in this world, there is love and hope to all through His church. I'll continue my journey, seeking God's call for our life, without losing hope!

Psalm 31:24 NIV
"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD."
