Hi my beloveds! How are all of you doing on this extremely hot evening? I know I've been yammering on about starving children in my last couple of blogs, I just can't help it! If I know there is ANY child out there in the world that's hurting, I hurt right along with them! To be honest with you, I've been feeling so down lately, because every time I see the news, it's about children dying or becoming displaced because of poverty or war and my heart is just bleeding. I got so down today, I was messaging my husband to talk me down from the ledge, I was so distraught! I was telling him how horrible I feel that I can't do more! I want to go to where they are and just rescue them, but I can't and my husband, as wonderful as he is, let me vent and told me the following: "God only gives us what we can handle. I know you want to save the world, but if God wanted you to do that, he would of blessed you with a way. God wants you exactly where you are and doing what you are doing for a reason." Me, being me, cried more and told him, but it's not enough!! In which case, my husband calmly responded with, you do so much Russhelle. Your always there volunteering and helping at church, you are helping these kids in the community and whenever you see a child in need, you never hesitate to help them. You ARE being used and for now it's enough, until God decides to use you for more."
Honestly, I really don't know what I would do without my husband being my anchor..if it was just me, I'd probably be knees deep in volunteering and doing who knows what? To be honest...that was me a couple of years ago and I actually got sick from doing so much, which is probably why he's bringing me down....What can I say, you guys already know...I love whole heartedly which means I tend to get extremely passionate at times. But my husband is right, I am just one person in this world and for now all I can do is what the Lord allows me to at the moment, which is why I am here now blogging. If this blog can reach as many people as my data report is telling me. I am going to make sure to make my voice heard as far as it can go! We are all just one person in this world, but if we could just take a second to think about someone else for a moment and actually make the decision to do something, I am sure, we can be the change we want to see in the world! For me, that change is to ensure that no child has to endure the feeling of going without food or daily necessities and if you see the same vision I do, then let's work together for that better tomorrow shall we?
