Feeling...sappy!

[spiritualsister]

Hi everyone,

Sometimes, I feel sappy - and I guess I feel that way right now. If there was ever a moment to join hands and sing Kum-Ba-Ya this would be it for me. Here's why:

Dallas, Texas (where I reside) is now home to many victims of Hurricane Katrina. And, there's been an outpouring of love by the people, churches, and government here to help as much as possible. Even the CARES Team of our apartment complex hosted a festival event this weekend to donate funds raised.

So many to help and every dollar counts. At the same time, I receive emails from students in Indoensia trying to solicite donations just for $100.00 to receive books, bibles, and supplies to continue ministering to Tsunami victims. Or requests to help find host families for children looking for temporary shelter. These requests don't come from random people - they're sent or forwarded by friends and friends of friends, etc.

All I know to do is pray and let God lead me accordingly but occasionally I feel sappy and I have to remember that we will win this fight because God said so! Even though the work of the enemy is rampant God will see us through - we just can't quit!

Sorry to share my sappiness at this moment but meet me at the campfire if you wish to sing Kum-Ba-Ya with me tonight. I'll be the chick with the marshmellows for the s'mores!

_____I wouldn't feel sappy about it. Then again, I'm not in your position. No one e-mails me asking for cash -- I guess everyone knows I'm broke. My bank acount is -$200.00. So there you have it. :eek:

:p I don't think they're asking 'ME' for cash 'cause I still work for free - sadly. But, I can make a superb dish of Ramen noodles with leftover chicken pieces, frozen peas, and a boiled egg. That makes the bank account stretch veerrrrryyyyy far! !thumbsup!

_____My wife felt the need for a cell phone, and has been pestering me for a year now. I gave in, and so did our bank acount. It's ok, I'll fix it as useal.

Uggh! I uh...kinda...did that same thing two weeks ago! Went to the mall - and the cellphone fell in my lap - Honest Engine!

Well, I needed it for emergencies (that's the ticket) - like today my mother was walking around in the parking lot and I needed to see if she made it to the car.

And what about the time I needed directions to the mall while driving? That was an emergency too!

And my toddler just loves to use up useless air minutes talking to the dialtone or perhaps... someone in Egypt. I haven't figured that one out.

_____That brings new life to my complaint. It made me laugh though, so it is excusible. :p Excuse me, I need to go giggle on another part of the net. Tee-hee-hee-hee... *hums laughter*.
