once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do.

God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls,

knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act.

//getting crazy. crazy. crazy.

soooo for cereals...
it's been a while since my blog
& i said "heyyyy".
a lot has happened
and i've been confused 
and overwhelmed.
got cold feet.
ambivalence.
laziness.
hard-heartedness.
forgetfulness.
not excuses.
just the truth.
i live in flesh, a lot.
this deal isn't easy.
it isn't the cool thing to do to spend 
lots of energy, time
and money on mission work.
i'm 26.
no kids. hello, freedom?! lol.
maybe my hubby & i can fly to
england. or japan.
or the moon.
we rent a little house.
but i'd rather own my
own home.
decorate it with
my antiques and pretty things.
have people over for parties
every week and eat lots of 
delicious recipes.
that's my american dream.
i honestly do not want to be rich.
except when i pass the coach store
or see the most precious
michael kors gold peep toe heels. 
{have you seen them? macys! OH EM GEE.}
but i want enough.
i want....imma say it!
TO BE COMFORTABLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
ughhhhhh.
i got a little lost, i think.
don't we all?
but i think about the homeless that live on the street.
the families that don't always have enough to eat each night.
the lonely people..who's spouses work 93850384503 jobs
just to make ends meet.
the boys who play soccer without shoes.
the orphans who, once they grow up, will
never see anyplace outside
their part of the world.
UGHHHHHHHHHHH.
ouch.
broken.
undone.
i'm here, Jesus.

anyways...i'm going to ethiopia.
and i am in full fundraising mode!
letters have been sent out!
i'm blowing up your facebook news feed!
and i'm super excited about a really
FUN goodie-filled fundraiser in the next few weeks.
i already have an UHHHHH-MAYYYY-ZINNNNG camera bag donated
as well as lots of yummy deliciousness from my favorite
vendors for my photography business. :] :] :]

just wanted to update!
