Haiti

Good Morning FRIENDS!! I hope everyone is doing well and ready for this weekend that is only two days away. yay!! Im sure many of the blogs you read daily are mentioning Haiti and the earthquake that took place so you may be tired of reading about it but Im going to talk about it anyways. This is such a tragedy and it just reminds me how blessed I truly am and what all I have to be thankful for. Last night as I laid in bed I sat and prayed for the children, adults, loved ones and friends of Haiti. My heart breaks to read about the current situation and to see the pictures of the people literally makes me sick. As helpless as I feel I am NOT and neither are you!! For yall that have followed my blog for a while know that I LOVE Compassion and I have a compassion child in India. Okay so here is how we can help....You can help/donate through Compassion International and I know you can do so through Red Cross as well.




Be sure to go to Kelly's blog from Kellys Korner. She personally has a friend that was in Haiti during the earthquake and his family has yet to hear from him. His name is Dan and he is part of Compassion International...please be sure to lift him and his wife and children up in prayer. Kelly is also donating $1 up to $1,000.00 for each person that makes a donation of any kind...you have to leave a comment on her blog though. So be sure to go check it out. {which im sure you ALL follow her}








I also wanted to be sure and introduce yall to a book if you have not heard of it. I jumped on board the BLOOM book club. The current book they are reading is......



Friends, Im in chapter 5 and this book is great!! I encourage you to join in or at least buy the book if you are looking for a new one! I do not want to give too much info incase you are interested but I PROMISE you will enjoy it!!

I hope everyone has a blessed day!!

Love,

It really breaks my heart to see pictures of all the destruction over there. We have been so blessed here in Memphis with us being right on top of the new madrid fault line. That could definitely be us one day, so we should all take this opportunity to give back.
