As I sit here

Here I sit on a Sunday afternoon, I have a million things I could be doing, but here I sit. Garrett is napping and everyone else is outside in the HOT weather. So I have been on the computer checking up on things reading about the children I check on. Some have passed, some are doing well, and some only have a limited time left. I wonder where do these parent find the strength and courage to face these battles. Of course I know the answer, they find it in Christ. I find myself wondering if faced with this would my faith be enough for me? I know that God has put each and every person here for a reason even if it is only for a short time, and in my heart I know this is the case. But I wonder why do these children have to suffer so? I so want to find a cure for this Horrible disease that is killing so many people. I will be doing the Light the Night walk in October, and had hoped that I could get some ladies from MOMS Club to walk with me and can you believe that out of over 70 women only 2 were interested. I know for alot of these women, this hasn't touch their lives as it has mine. If they would only give me an opportunity to tell them about this and the people that is kills everyday, and how just by giving this 2 hours of their time they can make a difference, but I sent out an evite for an informal meeting about it just to give more info, and not one person would come. Again I don't hod this against them, i was the same way before I was touched by these children, and I know it seems well this is on a thursday night, we have school in the morning we have to get in bed, but really would one night be a big deal? I want so bad to explain to them how this has touched me , how it could touch them too, how it could be anyone of us in this situation. But I can't. Do I send out an email with the facts? Do I try again in a few days to see if another day works better? How do I get more people involved? I haven't asked Melony yet to walk, I guess I should do this. Sheri has said she would walk with me, so that is great.Michael has also volunteered to walk with me, so my goal for this week is to get some fundraising set up. Wish me luck. Well I guess that is all Garrett is up. I will post again later.
