What is it going to take

For God to get through to us? I keep living my life like a normal American, comsumed with the busyiness of life. Sure, I do few things I feel honor God. You know, we say grace, we read the Bible, we go to church, we try not to swear. Heck, we even school our kids at home so we can teach them about Him.

But am I really all that different? When are we going to come to the place where we really change it all up? Where we reject the consumerism that binds us and run wholeheartedly after God. Where we start getting rid of things and debt and every sin that so easily entangles us and start visbly showing His love to the people around us.

I came across this today and was just floored. How can you look at those faces and not have your heart be broken? The kids and I are going tonight to find a Compassion child to sponsor. And we are going to see what we can do to free up money in our budget to sponsor more.

This is so true and good to be reminded of. You have a great family and it looks like you are doing so much with them! I enjoy reading about all the fun things you are doing with them. That is a HUGE ministry in itself.

Hey Tamara, thanks for posting this. Just thought I'd tell you that last night we got a little boy to sponsor in India. Super excited. :)
