i wanted to share an encouraging story about awareness... a friend of mine from church is adopting a girl from uganda and just went to meet her for the first time. the mother is giving her up for adoption because she is dying of AIDS. but the billboards and posters and everything worked because she was tested and received good counsel pre-natally and help after delivery. while God had led my friend's family to be open to adopting a child with HIV, He also intervened in this infant's life through reaching her mother. i pray that more and more people in South Africa will become aware as this mother was.
"There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and love and the devotion come in--that we do it to God, to Christ, and that's why we try to do it as beautifully as possible."
Mother Teresa
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
