I know I haven't been on his blog very much anymore (really at all). I've been catching up on my reading and learning more about life in Africa. I recently read Ishmael Beah's book, A Long Way Gone-Memoirs of a Child Soldier. And another one about the Rwanda genocide that killed millions of Tutsis. And I'm currently reading one about a girl who was a child soldier is Uganda. I'm trying to learn as much as a can so I know how to help and to bring awareness to how difficult and troubling their lives are in Africa. Please check out my other blog A Compassionate Heart, Reaching Out. This is where my heart is right now. I'm not writing as much as I'd like but give me time. I will be.
Please check out my post today about the severe drought in the Horn of Africa. Nearly 13 million people are severely affected and need OUR help desperately. I donated to World Vision, would you please consider helping as well? Your gift will multiply 5X's! So even if you only donate $50, $250 is actually going over to Africa to help! Every little bit helps and makes a difference. Especially when many help=) One drop in a bucket won't fill it but thousands of drops will!
When I first started this blog I wanted it to be a source of encouragement, inspiration, or something positive instead of depressing, cynical, or negative attitudes/views/ideas that are taking over our world. My plan is for that to continue but with something added....concern and care for those less fortunate. News about those who are suffering and how we can help. Lets make a difference and help better someone's life!
