Help ONE in Haiti!

Most everyone has heard of the earthquake in Haiti so I'm not going to go on and on about what happened. But, I am going to tell you what I am going to do to help the devastated people of Haiti.

There is not one minute that goes by that I do not think about the millions of people who have been affected by the earthquake. I am constantly praying for the hurting people and the wonderful people who are going to Haiti to bring hope. My heart is overflowing with compassion and hurt for the hopeless people of Haiti. I mean, seriously, what would you do if your home got shaken to a rubble and everything around you was hectic and hopeless? What would you do if you were stuck in the ruins of your city, pleading for someone to come save you, but certain you would die right then and there? What would I do if everything that was familiar to me got ripped away and I was left with nothing to cling to? To tell you the truth, I don't know what I would do. I would call to my Father in heaven, but I would be a mess. I would pray that someone would hear my cry and bring me hope... hope in the form of food, shelter, and water... Hope in the form of life. I would pray for Jesus to show up and save me.

Even though I personally haven't been hit by an earthquake, I need to be hope to people, just as I would want if I were in their place. In truth, "Each one of them is Jesus in disguise" (Mother Teresa). Each child, each mother, each criminal is Jesus calling out to us. We are being called by our Savior to go and help our neighbor in great need. We need to see Jesus in the face of the hurting people of Haiti.

This is why I want to (need to) do something to help the people of Haiti. Jesus is in the face of the starving, He's in the face of dying, He's in the face of the little boy and girl who lost their mom and dad in the earthquake.

I want to go to those children and tell them they will be okay. I want to hold the grieving little girl in my arms and tell her everything will be fine. I want to hug the frail mother of 4 kids who lost them in the disaster and tell her that her kids will be okay..... but I know it's not going to be. It's not going to be okay; it's just not. But, through God's Word, we can show the people of Haiti that there is HOPE in the midst of death and destruction.

Through Room for One More, we are going to show the true Hope to the people of Haiti.
