"When I grow up, maybe I can take a helicopter and bring food and water to Haiti."
I love it when words like this come from my daughter's mouth.
Her first grade class is working to raise money for Haiti. I am so thankful for a teacher that sees the importance in cultivating a heart of compassion and an awareness of needs in our world. She has been asking for jobs, wanting to help.
Her willingness to help has been a reminder to me to keep praying.
I read that they are estimating 200,000 dead.
It is a number I can't fathom.
There is a part of me that can't help ask why God? I obviously don't know the answer.
But even deeper I wonder, how do you get through something like this without God?
So I continue to pray for the people of Haiti, that God's presence would be palpable and many would believe and be saved.

Hi,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Kellie from Women's Life Link. Your link at mycup2yours sent me to you.
I was troubled by the estimated dead in Haiti as well. It's a tragedy that they didn't need on top of their poverty. You have to wonder what the "big picture" is there. Anyway, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too Kellie - Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
