Greater Things Are Yet To Come...

God has great plans for my family. I remind myself when things get complicated... I remind myself the twists and turns usually straighten out at some point... the super-sonic speed slows down eventually; the crash and burn sometimes lasts a while, but in the end what matters is that He gets the glory. I remind myself that my idea of "great" may not be His, and sometimes, I'm okay with that... and then there are those times that I throw a tantrum.... but eventually, I come to the place where I admit to myself that it is up to me, this day, to choose who I will serve... will I serve myself, my desires, or Him...?

I was just talking to Ben the other night... thinking about my little friends in Colombia. Ben recently got off a 40-day fast, and I was talking to him about the kids we met and how some of them didn't have but 2-3 meals per week. In our minds, we cannot even comprehend what they must think or feel in that environment... and to not know when they may get their next meal. Here, even when we fast, we know that there is food available, if we wanted to eat; we can eat whenever we want to. But these little kids and many adults... don't have that... and it's not just there... there are starving people all over the world... when I have these random thoughts like these... I wonder what can I do about it?

Helen Keller stated, "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do." I want to do something! I want my family to do something! When I see this picture, I am reminded, I can do something and there are little people just like this guy that are counting on us to do something... When you see this picture, what comes to your mind? Please comment!

Ok, so, I've been rambling and making no sense at all...lol; but anyways, Happy Friday!
