"On the outskirts of every agony sits some observant fellow who points" - Virginia Woolf. This quote really struck a chord with me a few weeks back. It really speaks to so much in todays society. It has become so easy and almost second nature to tear people and other's actions down, but to do so from the sidelines. Do you just want to be a critical observer or are you willing to jump in the ring and roll up your sleeves and be part of the solution? I think we all would benifit from asking this of ourselves more often.
We visited the town where E2 was born and met some amazing people that are truly doing God's work counciling physically and sexually abused children as well as caring for children without a home. We made a promise that day to the director that we would help to raise money for some equipment they needed as it is very difficult for them to do this on their own. It has been nagging at my heart for awhile that we made this promise and now, home almost 3 months, I had done nothing but sit on the sidelines. Over the last few days, I started talking with our agency about the idea and I am very happy to report that today, through our adoption agency, a means to support the wonderful work that this group is doing is now available!
