mass burials

I cannot stop thinking of those who passed away and were buried in the mass graves in Haiti. Unbelievably sad!

I was thinking there has to be some that no one even misses. In some cases maybe no one still lives that knew their names. No evidence exists giving testimony that they ever existed. They are just gone.

In life they may have been at different levels of society, yet in death all becomes equal. Now they lay side by side in the earth and only God knows where their souls have gone.

I pray for those still struggling to live and those still to be found and I rest in the truth that God is in control.

Haiti

Do any of you know anyone in Haiti that we could pray for specifically?

I cannot even imagine what they are going through right now...how hopeless they must feel!

I have had them on my mind and in my prayers all day. Still it doesn't feel like enough.

This part of the world has had one problem after another - sometimes seems unfair that we live so well.

It made me think about what makes me feel safe or hopeful. Is it my money, house or the ridiculous amount of food we all have that makes me feel secure? I had to be honest - I often put my hope in the wrong things - in temporal things. Will it take a tragedy to move my security completely into God's hands alone? I commit today to try harder to acknowledge my complete dependence on Him as well as remain committed to praying for my brothers and sisters in Haiti! Please join me.
