I feel so sad about all the devastation in Hatti. My heart really goes out to them. They need so much help. And I feel so helpless.
I think my personally is that I care about people who are needy. And I feel torn because there are so many people that need help here in the States, and far away lands. I just feel so overwhelmed. Oh I know it is not my responsibility to help everyone, but this thing inside me wants to. Even though I financially can't. And there are just so many that need help.
There is a lady at work that just had a fire
There are people at my church who are out of a job
There are newly married couples that are struggling to make it
I think my whole personality was developed as a child when I saw all the Church people always giving to us (the pastor's family) They would give us food every Christmas and cash..... guess it just engraved in my personality how cool that was.
I have friends who do not understand how I can give my money away and not spend it on me. It's kinda hard to explain what's in your heart.
When something like this happens I just want to jump up and say OK, lets get started raising money. And my mind just runs and runs. How crazy is that. I never said I was normal!!!
So I will pray for God to give what is needed to those that are hurting.

I totally get what you are saying...growing up as a preachers daughter too the church family does give and help the pastors family ALOT and so we grow up like that and I also watched my parents provide shelter to kids who needed it and so on...so even though right now that the hubby is laid off and we have 4 kids to support I am always trying to come up with new ways to give ...I do tend to support the ones here in our country BUT I have been keeping my eyes glued to the tv about Haiti and it makes me so sad :(...I told Sean that are kids are so OVERLY BLESSED (Spoiled) ...
