God has really been working on my heart in the past year and given me the desire to do more with my life. I am still praying about what that exactly means. He has put the people of Africa on my heart and has given me a deep desire to somehow help the widows and orphans there. It really breaks my heart to know that there are people in this world that live in such poverty.Here in America we live a rather indulged, excessive life. We have SO much and take it for granted most of the time. I know I do. I get caught up in my busy life and complain about the most ridiculous things. There they struggle to meet the most basic daily needs. It is really sad and I want to do what I can to help. I need to stop being so selfish and be more selfless. God keeps reminding me of that.
Last night I came across this slideshow on Shannon Holden’s blog. I was so moved by her beautiful, yet heartbreaking images from her recent trip to Zambia.

Just thought I would quickly share a delicious salad that I made from the fruits of my labor in my
little urban vegetable garden.
This is one of my favorite salads, I love it so much I could eat it everyday!
Caprese Salad is simply made from tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil (I have several types of basil growing in my garden and I love to use a few of them together for added flavor), olive oil, salt and pepper.
I add balsamic vinegar because I love it, however, I think if you make a true Insalata Caprese it would not have any vinegar in it.
Makes for a delicious, easy, Summer lunch. Mmmmm.
Now I just need to get a cow or buffalo so I can learn make my own fresh mozzarella and I will be set.
