I'm trying to keep this little voice in my head silent.

 

 

     The one that tells me to stop talking, stop typing....

 

 

 

See, a month and a half ago I told you about a beautiful little girl in India named Jyoti suffering from parasites in her brain, and I asked you to pray and to help pay for her treatment. Last week, I told you about a dear friend of mine in California named Will suffering from serious health issues, and I asked you to pray and help pay for his treatment. For over a year now, I've been writing. I've told you of orphans sick and starving with no one to hold them. I've told you about widows dying of AIDS in the dirt. Of lepers left untouched and unloved. Of children and families and entire countries in desperate need of money and prayer.

 

It doesn't make much sense then, that I keep asking you to support others. And it doesn't make much sense that I keep telling you about the horrible things happening around the world that break your heart into a million pieces...

 

So, I've got this little voice in my head that tells me to stop talking. Stop typing. Stop.

 

 

So, I'll keep talking. I'll keep typing. This week, I'll update you on beautiful Jyoti, and the amount she still needs to fully recover. After that, I'll introduce you to a precious little boy in the Philippines named Michael who needs your prayers. And scattered in along the way will be my needs, thoughts, hurts, prayers, and dreams.

        The shocking part of this all is - you keep Reading. Responding. Praying. Giving...

And you inspire me to keep going. 

 

So for today...I just wanted to thank you. In an overwhelming, broken, hurting world, you, my blog readers, help give me HOPE. Thank you for reminding me that people still care. Today, I'm grateful for you.
