Today David and I were driving around looking for Goodwills and other thrift shops in Dallas for a bed side table. My heart was very sad as we were driving around. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on inside of me. One of the things that we started talking about were the homeless and searching. Coming from Dothan and Auburn we never see hunger, hurt, brokeness, loss and all of these other issues that are so painful as evident as in a larger city. Our eyes were really opened to what is really happening in the world. Of course we have just come off our parents' budgets and college allowances but we're doing fine. We keep hearing about the recession but the only way that it has effected us has been in the job market. Today it really affected our hearts. We saw man after man begging, starving, looking for somewhere to lay his head. It was a painful experience but made us realize how blessed we are. One of the things God is preparing us for is to not rely on material possesions. Everything that we have right now is a complete gift from God and nothing that we have done on our own. He is so faithful and good to His children.
