Believe in what? (my dad asked this in his message today in service)
We've been thinking a lot about Haiti these days; it was already a devastated nation before the earthquake hit. Now it's even more devastated ... what to do, what to think?
I sometimes feel very helpless.
I want to do so many things, and really want to focus on one issue/problem where I could make an impact. Orphans, the poor and homeless, sex slaves, immigrants/refugees - I want to do something about all of these... but how?
Sometimes I wonder what I believe in (not necessarily in terms of my faith - God) but more so what do I believe about humanity, people, and this world. I become more troubled and conflicted when I read articles and hear the desires of people in the West who want to 'help' the developed world.
I guess this post is diverging from my original point about believing (and what Jesus said), but I'm finding myself becoming more frustrated with Western society and the notion of "us" and "them".
I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore.
I'm just troubled -.-

I think it's amazing that you have a heart for the broken. It's so precious to the Lord! Keep praying for those who are hurting and in need, and I believe He will reveal to you where you need to be.
