I don't know if you know about this, but this week, there has been a group of semi-famous bloggers on a trip to El Salvador with Compassion International. Because two of the bloggers are ones that I read on a daily basis, I've been keeping up with what they're doing down there.
One of them is Kelly from http://kellyskornerblog.com/. I have been following her blog for over a year.
Two other blogs that I read are BigMama and BooMama and they both linked to Shaun Groves' website to this post. Shaun Groves is a Christian singer/songwriter.
I read it. It made me cry. Obviously, this is no hard feat these days, but when you combine children and difficult things in life, my ears perk up, my eyebrows raise, and I usually cry.
But you know what's more effective than crying?
Doing something about it.
So, do you think it's any small coincidence that 2 days ago, Stephen told me that we have some extra money that we need to be praying about how to spend it before the end of the year?
I know what I want to do with $38 of it per month!
Go to http://www.compassion.com/ if you'd like to join me!
I'm 100% sure it's a decision that you'll never, ever, ever regret.

Becca led that trip. She is now in Mexico taking people to meet their kids. It is really cool.
My mom used to work for Compassion and my family always sponsored kids. I've been wanting to sign up for one for a long time and after I saw Slumdog Millionaire, I knew I'd pick a kid from India. Last week I signed up for a 12 year old orphan girl in India. Hopefully her Christmas will be a little brighter this year knowing that she is loved.
We are definitely praying for you three, Beth! (along with so many other people) - Hope you can find some things to do in the remaining time that put your mind at rest and are easy on your body :)
