my heart is beeping....still

this last week i went with some friends to an exhibit put on by world vision. it was a stimulation to help us understand what it is like to live with aids in africa. a kind of "pull on your heart strings" presentation. i was looking forward to going. i always think that im used to these sort of things...but it gets me everytime. i miss my invisible children days where i was constantly reminded of the need in africa. people's needs in general. instilling hope in the young people here that things can change. the continuous burden to pray for those in tribulation.
i pray that my life will not get to comfortable, that i forget. i pray for this exhibit, as it travels around, will open peoples' eyes to what they can give or do. i pray for the children who are waiting to be supported...that they will rely on you and get the care and love they need. i pray for the organization of wold vision, that the money can be used in the best way possible.
i pray for gulu and the kids who have or currently been affected by the LRA - give them peace and renew their minds. i pray for encouragement for volunteers who overwork themselves for your glory. amen
