Beyond Good Intentions

Several of you have asked me why I am going to Ukraine. That sounds like a simple enough question, but the answer is so complex. How can you see a need and feel as though you can help and not act? For those of you who viewed the video on the children in Africa, do those voices not still haunt you? Do you remember the boy who asked if you would forget about him? The need is so great in Africa, Ukraine, here. The best I can explain, God opened the door and I am walking through. He is testing me and I am testing Him. I reflect on Christ's time on earth and understand that He was not a man of wealth or stature. His impact on those He met was felt in the words that He spoke, in the hands that He touched them with, and the love that He shared. I can do that. I can speak, touch, and love these children because He has done that for me.
