And you...I just recently stumbled upon your blog... And you are not alone! <br /><br />After I lived in Malawi, Africa (the 6th poorest country in the world) for a time, I came back numb and so overwhelmed by our materialistic culture that it was paralyzing. I couldn't do ANYTHING. Slowly I learned what my role is. <br /><br />Do I support causes that tackle sex-trafficking, HIV education, etc? Absolutely! However, MY heart breaks for the orphaned. And I can actively support THAT. So... baby steps. :)<br /><br />I echo steffany. Religion is stuffy and methodical. A relationship with God and knowing you are loved by Him changes everything!<br /><br />KarlyKarlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16799858731433922220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-71719217497323727592011-01-14T22:05:13.287-06:002011-01-14T22:05:13.287-06:00Thanks you made me cry, in a good way.

I think guilt just makes the struggle more painful. <br /><br />I love how you said, "You do what you can"...<br />That means you're doing something. Taking care of 3 kids and an elderly dad is a huge task. A beautiful task, but a hard one. <br /><br />Religion won't do anything for you like you said, but having a relationship with your Creator and knowing you are truly loved can:)steffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647060326584152206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-39510666662902589482011-01-14T21:46:19.514-06:002011-01-14T21:46:19.514-06:00Hmmm I get that way every day with three kids by m...Hmmm I get that way every day with three kids by myself as a single mom also taking care of my elderly dad. While I'm suppose to also be at a full time job... Yep..and then I read the news of people much worse off than I am. Then I feel guilt. Much guilt. So I do what I can, quietly. With each penny. <br /><br />I do wish someone out there would know also how I struggle. <br /><br />How we all do. <br /><br />I tried the religion thing, and it is not doing anything for me. <br /><br />If there is something I'm missing, let me know! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190770886130324242.post-59327949745842365112011-01-14T17:12:25.515-06:002011-01-14T17:12:25.515-06:00I know how you feel, almost exactly.
