Yesterday our agenda was changed. Sometimes it irritates me, but I know He has a plan... Today He showed us a bit of that plan.
We went to General Hospital and in one of the pediatric rooms there was a boy that looked to be 2-4 years old. Severely malnourished. We talked with the mom who said that he has severe diaherra and vomiting. Just thought to ask a few more questions about the color of his poo, wondering if it might be cholera. Yes. And He was not being treated. No meds, no fluids. He will die.
There is a song by Matthew West that talks about the injustice in this world and in it he asks why God doesn't "do something" about it. He said "I created you"!
If not us than who...
If not me and you...
Right now. It's time for us to do something.
If not now then when....
It's time for us to do something.
So, I messaged a friend of mine that works with malnourished kids and asked her to help. At 10 pm last night she called a sitter and jumped on a moto taxi to "do something". She did. She went to the hospital, found the child, and said that they had put it on antibiotics and fluids. Praise The Lord!
While she was there, another baby was put in her path that she is going back to help today.
Do something. What does that mean to you...today?
