I, too, am awake so I thought I would check this out, again. I am in love with AFRICA, too. I wished we could have talked some about this. However, when I returned the first time from spending a summer in Niger, I was a mess. I bought my nephews shirts as souvenirs. When my oldest one said he didn't like it, you would have thought he just stuck me in a microwave and melted me. I went off and broke down. He didn't know -- so many people just don't know. Yay for you and Alex that you know and then also DO! It was great meeting you today. I, too, am awake so I thought I would check this out, again. I am in love with AFRICA, too.

I have to say that my heart feels the same about the children living in poverty. I havent been to a third world country but I do have a mothers heart. We are a single parent, homeschooling, mama college attending, what this country calls below standard living family....we are proud to be a part of our sponsor child from Compassion. I am not saying this to guilt trip anyone by my testimony---I am proud to change the life of a little boy who wouldnt know Jesus or eat a real meal any other way. Wish I could sponsor more children. Anyway, there are many ways my family could use that $32 each month that would make our life *easier* but instead I give it so that a little boy in Peru can *have a life*....namely eternal life.

If your blogging needs to change because you're changing, follow God's lead. Look what you've done already. You bless your readers, you challenge us and now you've even led people to sponsor orphans. Americans spend $40 billion each year on weight loss programs and products. Every day 24,000 people in the world die of hunger-related causes. There's something wrong with this picture. I'm struggling to figure out what to do about this. (And I've just linked to your post because I'd forgotten about sponsoring an orphan.) We who have much need to do more other than wish we could lose weight while God's children are starving elsewhere. Bless you! Keep doing what you’re doing. If your blogging needs to change because you’re changing, follow God’s lead.
