Have you ever felt like you should be doing more? Like there is more out there that you want or want to do? Well I have been feeling like that for quite a while. I have thought of applying at Samaritan's Purse for a job. Or going to Africa and helping all the refugees and children. Kids hurting is really one of my "things" that I am against. I could get on my soapbox but I won't (No thanks are necessary!!) LOL Anyway, at our VBS, there were a lot of hurting kids from dysfunctional families. It was sad. Some were really angry, some had behavior issues. Some just wanted love. (Just like all of us) They have really been on my heart. Then a lot of our youth group went to Chicago and worked with kids there. The youth group really loved it! They were sharing and praying with/for the kids, helping them, making things, playing with them. It really impacted them all. Well, why is it that we can go thousands of miles and help people but miss the hurt in our own "backyard" ? Can't we do something here? So this has been on my mind. And then, (God is so sneaky!!) (not really,just GOOD) I was at dinner the other evening with some friends and the conversation came around to this very subject! And we were on the same page about helping hurting ones around us! Gods wants us to help the hurting and the lonely, the widow and the orphan. Now just need prayer about what to do. We were tossing around ideas but this will take time and volunteers. But I know that if this is what God wants to happen it WILL happen!
I can't wait to see what He will do!
