sometimes i read stories from the news or i hear stories from a friend, student, co-worker and its breaks me. it is like something inside just breaks. i cannot bear the sadness, the horror, the loss because it is so tragic so "not the way life is supposed to be."
a friend from college is on a journey with her family to adopt two beautiful children from the congo. i know a little about the congo just from reading or watching stories here and there but for the most part i feel like the world as a whole is pretty quiet about the congo. maybe that is just me and the media is loud about the injustice, the sadness the wickedness that the people of the congo endure.
this morning i opened up her blog and what i read broke me. it shattered my heart. it was so hard to bear. but i believe that i have to bear it. i have to know the truth so that i can pray for the country. i can cry out to God and beg him for justice, for protection and for rescuing the lives of the children in the congo. for healing the wicked and helping them turn their faces to Him.
the first step is education. knowledge.opening up your mind.
how can you change something if you don't know anything about it?
so please join me in educating yourself and others by going HERE
and then pray. pray. pray.
