Bigger than me

So in reference to my last post, David and I have sponsored a child with CCF of Canada!! I'm really happy and really excited to finally be doing this. It's something I've wanted to do for a really long time but we were living pay cheque to pay cheque and that was tough...but now we have more and I'm thrilled I can use it to help someone who really needs it. This is Haymanot fro Ethiopia!
If you have the means I really encourage you to also sponsor a child...some children out there don't even have clothes...forget other things that we take for granted.....and they have every right to enjoy life as we do. http://www.ccfcanada.ca/

Simple Life

I've been thinking an awful lot lately about how perfect things are here in Canada....and how dire things can be in the third world countries....they don't even have water...CLEAN water.....we have SO much....too much in most cases...and yet people are starving to death...STILL!!! It's 2010 and people don't have food....

Despite having everything I need, and finally being financially stable to think about more than myself....I still feel so helpless....I can send money all I want but is that helping? Is that feeding the millions who are sick and dying? Who are orphaned and alone?

I'm grappling with what I can do....I feel so limited and yet on the other hand I know there are some things that I can do....I just have to wait and see where life takes me.
