I am linking you to my husbands blog again. I don't know why he is blogging about me so much, but I'm surprised how he really knows me. 8 years, maaaaaaaany struggles, often hanging on to a relationship with nothing but faith in a Big God, He knows where I've been and where I want to go. He also knows the dreams you don't tell anybody about because they are crazy. I guess he really was listening all those times I got mad at him for "not listening". :-) Well if you want to know a little more about me, visit my sweetheart's blog.

Matt 25:37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go and visit you? The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. "
A cry of help from the President of World Vision US:
For the past several months, I've been sharing with you about the dramatic hunger crisis in Africa. So many of you have blessed us with your prayers and generous support, and we've been able to work in the hardest-hit areas, but the situation remains serious because recent rains have not been adequate. I'm haunted by tragic scenes in countries like Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Burundi. Crowds of desperate mothers hope to receive help for their severely malnourished babies and children. Now the situation has been complicated by floods which have led to disease outbreaks in several areas.
Drought, combined with terrible poverty, civil unrest, and disease, is threatening the lives of an estimated 8 million people — 1.6 million are children under the age of five! That's why I'm turning to you once more with the same urgent plea that I sent in the mail in July. We have a great opportunity to help save lives! Because we've received $107 million in U.S. government food grants, your gift today, combined with these grants, will go 8 times as far to provide lifesaving food for desperate children and families. Please ... Pray that God will direct the aid to the boys and girls who need it most, before it's too late; and for our staff in the field — that they'll be able to shine God's love as they work with these hungry children and families in the midst of adversity. Give online now at http://news.worldvision.org/W8RH03AE9B6792ED1BC7F33E5E7800 to help provide much-needed food, water, and other emergency assistance. Remember—your gift will multiply 8 times! Sponsor another child online in Africa at http://news.worldvision.org/W8RH03AE9B37B2ED1BC7F33E5E7800, to help with long-term recovery projects that will transform the life of that child, his family and community. I thank God for your support in faith, prayer, and action. Thank you for being such a blessing to so many people in need, to our staff all over the world, and to me personally!
Yours in Christ, Rich StearnsPresident, World Vision U.S.
What will God say to you when you get to heaven? What have you done unto the least of these?
Help me change the world one life at a time.

I love this blog! www.verymom.com
Since I have 4 very small kids I don't get to blog or read blogs as much as I would like, but you have to go to her blogs for Sept. 7 and 5. She has such an amazing way of putting into words what most of us women think and want to write but just aren't creative enough. One blog is very funny in her creative style, but the other blog is very sad. A situation that as a mom every one of us fear.
I hope you will read this and then pray for her. It's pretty obvious that she is not a believer, and it is when I get to know people like this that I become more passionate about what we are going to do in France... plant an exciting relevant lifegiving church. It makes me sad that I can not go out to Utah or Idaho and plant one of these churches. I think it would reach someone like this.
Because of her Sept. 7 blog, my heart is sad this evening for a family that has to continue life without their mother. I know there are situations like this all over the world... which always brings me back to the children all over the world that survive with no parents and no food, children sold as sex slaves, abused kids, broken families, neglected kids, ... but aren't we all just grown up kids... and don't we all just need Jesus. I wish I could save the world... but I can't. Jesus already did all that he could do, now it is up to us... and what are we willing to give up for the world to know Christ?
