Pray For Nepal

When I heard about the Nepal earthquake, my heart sank.  Our dear sweet Amanda, that is part of our ranch camp family, just posted a picture about a week ago of her standing on a roof top overlooking the city of Nepal.  She had just arrived there as part of a mission team.

I automatically started searching for someone from our camp family that may have spoken to her....and well she and her team are okay!  Praise God!   Now instead of going for their original mission...they are part of the relief efforts to help the city and people of Nepal.

I am so thankful that she is safe!  I can't even imagine the devastation they are experiencing.   The mix of emotions that they and everyone there are experiencing!   My heart aches!

There are a lot of organizations for you to contact and offer your support through.....and if you have one that you normally use for disaster relief funds, that's awesome!  ...but I'm offering an organization that I have supported and donated to for a few years now.

http://www.samaritanspurse.org/  please check them out!  I know it's difficult to trust and donate when you aren't sure your funds are going for what they are supposed to go towards. BUT there are many..that are legit!   Samaritans purse is one of them....check it out for yourself!

One thing we can most certainly do...is PRAY!  Please pray for our dear Amanda and her team! PRAY for Nepal!

Can I Run WITH You?

Sitting here on Sunday morning sipping my coffee, trying to come up with some profound post to update my lagging blog.....yeah...I guess this blogging thing is tougher than I thought....I keep reading these awesomely put together posts by these amazing writers and I think...I just can't compete.

Obviously, one of the important details in blogging is having the time.  I think about the time I spend online everyday...and reality is.  it's not much.  I browse here and there.  I check my Facebook and comment or like or try to do my part to encourage my fellow bloggers and friends.  I usually forget about my Twitter.  I just don't seem to have enough time!  

I have my blog to reach out and hopefully inspire and remind women that despite the difficulties, there is life after divorce.   I don't always have something profound to say or words of wisdom to offer. I know that I want to be a successful blogger.  I know that I am not sure how to make blogging work for me right now.  BUT I know I am suppose to do this...and I know until I get it right, I will keep at it. Perhaps down the road I will find, that it's really not my thing. BUT if I have touched one woman.  If I have reminded ONE woman that there is life after divorce and that they are NOT alone, then my blog has done it's job.  

Life is so much easier knowing that we are not alone.

I'm in this everyday race of life just like everyone else.  And just like everyone else...we can all say at one time or another it is down right tough!  Sometimes I just like to know that I am not alone in this race, don't you?    

Will you run with me?    (Or in the words of Mr. Rogers..." won't you be my neighbor?" )

I have always wanted to run this race with YOU!   So let's make the most of this beautiful race...as long as we're here together, we might as well say....won't you be my partner?  

LOVE,

Marcy
