It has taken me several days after viewing the following video to process what I saw. To say that it touched me is an understatement. In discussing this with my friend Susan, she posed the question that I have had rolling around in my head but was unable to put into words, "what do you do with this kind of information?"
Speechless.
As I finished this video, I was left speechless. Literally. Very few things leave me unable to form words, but this video did. But, very quickly, I found myself crying out to my God. Again, I say, what is the significance of my existence? Am I REALLY making a difference in this world. Could I, realistically, hop on over to Expedia and book a plane ticket to Uganda? No. Does that change the fact that I have a responsibility? No.
But, what?
What responsibility do I have after receiving this kind of information? This is not 35 years ago, when your parents were telling you about the starving children in Africa, this is here, this is NOW. This are 3 children who are most likely orphaned by AIDS, left to care for themselves, with no provisions to do so.
There is money being sent to Africa through many different organizations - some very good, some, not so good. I have a heart for children, I have a heart for orphans, I have a heart for Africa. This video shook me to my core. Let me warn you, it is VERY hard to watch. Probably, as hard as most anything that I have ever seen.
So, I'm asking you, that if you choose to watch it. First, pray and ask God what He wants you to do with this information. Then proceed with caution. I know that it will shake you to your very core, as it did me. Then, let me know what you think, when you are once again able to form words and/or thoughts.
Leave me a comment and answer the question - What do I do with this information?
