Dang, got me thinking.

So last night I couldn't sleep & I ended up watching Blood Diamond. The movie kind of got to me. I've seen movies like that, but I've never took into consideration the struggles that those families have to face each day. I've never processed it in my mind that that's REALITY. I'm still not up to date with the history of Africa & I'm still a bit confused of why there's a war in that country. The revolutionaries are horrible & it makes me sad knowing that this is going on right now. But then again, I am just truly blessed to know that I don't have to live my life thinking that any minute I could be dead. Their situation reminds me to appreciate mine. I know they wish for a life like mine & I wish it for them too, but all I can really do now is just continue to pray for them & pray for peace.
