Overwhelmed

I know I hardly ever post. But I sometimes just feel like I have a lot going on in my head and I need to take the time to get it out. I have finished up my Real Estate license and am now working at HomeSmart with my hubs. Loving that. Get to show some houses on Tuesday. We are off for a weekend of camping today. After I get a day with my girl on her field trip. But what has me today is how we do it. I think it is so easy for us to forget all those hurting. Hungry, Tired, poor and depleted. As we sit here in our comfy homes in North America. Worrying about the next vacation or new furniture or that new house we are buying (don't get me wrong those things aren't bad) But are we remembering those who are sleeping in a doorway. Those in Iraq who have fled there homes because of ISIS? Those in Africa who are worried about the evil men who will come to kill them and rape their daughters and wives. My heart is breaking for them. I read Ann VosKamps blog http://www.aholyexperience.com. She is amazing. After her trip to Iraq she started working with an organization to help these women and children. Over half a million dollars raised to help women learn a job. To help these kids get an education in a safe place in Northern Iraq. A place my sister spent over a year loving on the people. I have an 8 year old daughter and 9 year old girls over there are being sold. Yes I sat hear and balled at that thought of my sweet girl being taken from me and sold as a sex slave. THIS IS NOT OK PEOPLE. When will we as Americans stand up and say enough. It isn't about the new outfit or the next new thing. We need to help. Not all of us are called to go. And not all of us can give financially. But we all can be on our knees praying and seeking God. So please people today. Be the light. Spread Jesus. Whether in word or deed. "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." Matthew 18:19-20
