Have you ever felt really passionate about something but don't know how you can help it? Well a bunch of my family and some of our close family friends is or has been a missionary so I've been over to Africa before also to Honduras. God has recently been opening my eyes to show me how greedy I am and how those people are starving while I am gorging myself on basically anything I want. I really want to help and it helps that I'm goin over there next summer, but I want to do more and make a difference. The only problem is that I don't know how I can help. If you will can you please give me some advice?

Ally-I can totally understand where you're coming from! I went through the same thing recently. I have always wanted to go on a mission trip out of the country and prayed and prayed and prayed that I would have the chance to go, and i finally have the opportunity to go this summer! It is really awesome that you have had the opportunities you have had to go on the trips that you have been on. Your serving heart and passionate attitude to help others is such a blessing from God. Something that I had to realize recently was that God has me where he has me now for a reason. I know that you have the desire to help others that have such a great need, but for now maybe God wants you to help someone in need around you. Maybe try to open your eyes to those around you in your city who need help. THE DESIRE YOU HAVE IS GREAT!! -and although you might not be able to go across the country and help others at this point, you can turn that desire around to helping those nearby. I have no doubt that you will bless so many people with your talents! God Bless...and remember-RAVE ABOUT HIM!!

Thanks a lot! Right now I am trying a camp called Camp Searcy and its just a bunch of youth groups from local churches including mine doing service projects to help make our town a better place. It's really fun and now I can see how not all big mission work is away from home.

Ally, that is sooo true! There are PLENTY of things you can do around your community! Even things on your street that you could help with! You don't have to go out of the country or even out of the state to make a difference! I'm glad you have already realized that! You are an awesome girl with a great, God and people-loving heart! You inspire me and many others!!

Thanks a ton!
