Another day, another puzzle piece.
I don't promise that this blog will be interesting, entertaining, or grammatically correct. I have many thoughts and learn alot of lessons. Regardless, each post will be completely honest and transparent. Life is full of hard times--no doubt about that. It's also pretty dreamy too. Today was mostly average and incredibly challenging at the same time. The part that stood out the most wrecked me to the core. I took my sister to a facility for pregnant ladies who don't have insurance. The reality is that lots of young mothers don't have it. What's that mean? It means they can't visit a doctor. They can't get a ultrasound. They are denied basic care. My heart dropped and my stomach twirled as I watched them deny woman after woman help/care. Why were they denied? All because they didn't have letters of recommendation regarding their character. These women were alone. All alone. No baby daddy or friend in sight. I watched them walk away weeping. What if there was a place for them to go without being turned away? What if they were embraced in a loving way? What if we not only met their physical needs, but tended to their emotional and spiritual ones as well? I don't think that is a crazy idea or impossibility. I gained a tiny puzzle piece today in this journey. The big picture is coming together. Learn from life--Observe your surroundings, work on the behalf of others, and change what isn't right. My heart is stirred and my mind is filled with dreams for these women. They have a purpose, I don't need a letter of recommendation to know that. Who's waiting on you to notice them today? Who can you care for? Someone is waiting for you. Will you tend to them?
