God is at work in my heart and these words made a difference. Thank you. - Sami Sat, 23 Jan 2010 17:13:32 +0100 http://forwardmovement.org/saturday-january-23-phillips-brooks.html#comment-603 I just read Lauren Stanley's update from yesterday. Her words caused me to more closely examine this terrible disaster. I see at least 3 ways that we can help in Haiti: 1) financially, 2) physically, and 3) spiritually. 1) We can all give something out of our blessings from God. Give to the organizations that are well-equipped to efficiently use what is given. 2) Not everyone can go to Haiti. To do so could exacerbate the problems. Everyone has to be cared for even as they care for others. If called, however, we should go. 3) I believe prayer to support the physical & mental health of the workers is the greatest need in Haiti. We at home can do a great work through prayer. Pray that God will support the physical and mental stamina of the men and women working in Haiti. Pray also for the hungry, the thirsty, the injured, the sick, the homeless, and those who have lost loved ones. And pray that through it all, God would be glorified. - Robert Lebby Sat, 23 Jan 2010 05:13:48 +0100 http://forwardmovement.org/saturday-january-23-phillips-brooks.html#comment-602 Thank you so very much for your heart-felt and inspiring reflections this month and today. You remind us so beautifully to look to God as the source of our strength and as our guide along this earthly life's journey. You touch so many lives by your mission work, as well as by sharing your reflections. My prayers are with you, all who suffer and all of those helping with recovery efforts. - Pam2 Sat, 23 Jan 2010 03:43:27 +0100 http://forwardmovement.org/saturday-january-23-phillips-brooks.html#comment-601 God's mysterious ways hit me hard this morning, re-reading what I wrote a year ago. I am at the very point of this plea right now. The tragedy of Haiti is hitting hard, and I am tired, I am EXHAUSTED, I am so low in spirits. And then I read this and realize it is exactly the prayer I need to hear, that I need to realize - again - that my food is from God and I am fed by doing God's will. It's hard for me right now, very hard. But before I can even form the right words in my heart and soul to pray, I read my own prayerful plea and realize I've already prayed this, and I already know what to do and how to do it. I turn to God and beg yet again, having laid out all my needs before him: Feed me! God has fed me every moment of my life before this, and God is feeding me now, and God WILL feed me. - Lauren Stanley Sat, 23 Jan 2010 02:49:22 +0100
