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.
