we could be so selfish sometimes!

How many of us need things? things that we want? Ipad, Car, Home, money. How many times do we ask God that he provide them to us? God, I need a this! God, I need that! God, I want that! I... I... I...

Our hearts has been heavy lately because of so many things that are helping in Ciudad Juarez. Happening to people we love, we care. People we see daily.

Sometimes we could be so selfish wanting things for ourselves when there are people out there that need things.

We have seen first hand how many women are having problems with there husband. Husbands that will abuse their wife, physically, mentally and sexually.

We have seen how a mother is pleading for life for her child because he/she is ill. We went to visit a women who 2 year old was dieing. TWO YEAR OLD! that's Ruby's age. I cried as I heard her story. How all she would ask God "WHY!! Please heal her!!"

We have seen men that are in need of a job. That you see him and doesn't look like that man you knew before.

We have seen women are needing to get a job because there husband has left them.

We have seen families that don't have anything in their refrigerator, only a gallon of water and beans.

We have seen families sleep on the floor because they don't have a bed.

And then I think to myself..."here I am asking God for things I want when their are people that need things"

Why are we so selfish sometimes?

It hurts to see people in the condition that they are, and we tell them "If we could fix your problems we would". All we could do is pray for them and not be selfish and just pray for myself.
