So, as I am sitting here wolfing down my leftover massive burrito from Moe's, feeling sorry for myself because I have a chest cold, I check my email where I find an urgent prayer request from my church:
"Today, we received word from Dr. David Vunga, GlobeWorks missionary to Burma:
* Our Myanmar Center for Church Planting - new building - was 1/3 destroyed by cyclone Nargis
* 4 of our 12 paid GlobeWorks International missionary families are still missing; presumed drowned.
* 40 of our GlobeWorks International Burmese Bible students and Burmese missionary families are starving, due to lack of rice."
And I realized, I have no clue.

Wow. I'm speechless.
Miss you, too.
that's incredible! wow.
and the moe's you refer to? I went to one in CT when I was there. It totally rocked.
Nothing like a little perspective to bring things into focus, huh? My pity parties aren't near as important as I think they are.
I didn't get that email...I wonder how many prayer oppertunities I'm am missing out on!
Who is your sender girl?
I mean OPPORTUNITIES
i've had the same "thought provoking" kind of day. so glad God is in control no matter how grim things seem.
It stopped me cold when I read it too. Made me feel awful for all my complaining this week....how blessed we are!
Oh it totally got me too. Broke my heart. You hear it on the news... but those are OUR missionaries. :-(
Wow. It's probably good for us to get our little American bubble burst every once in a while. God help us all.
Wow. That really stops you in your tracks doesn't it?
*praying now*

I feel like I've just been smacked up beside the head with a two-by-four. Definitely puts things into perspective, like how insignificant 5 year old daughters chopping their own hair off and such is.
No words, Gayle, this along with the China earthquake, has me left not even trying to speak of it. Only He understands, and I cannot wait to get there and understand too. (((((hug))))) xo
