Hope.

The only thing more powerful than fear is hope.  That's a thought from the evil President Snow (and I didn't put in quotations because it's not a direct quote...just sayin') from The Hunger Games, which I watched tonight with my girls.  It was SO GOOD.  And made me think so much.

I remember a part, I think it's in book 2, where Katniss is at a party in the Capitol, and the people are taking pills to make them throw up so that they can come back to the party again and gorge themselves some more.  Terrible.  While people are starving to death, or barely scraping by in the districts.  I don't live a Capitolistic life-style (I live in a capitalist society), but I live exorbitantly compared to so much of the world's population.  I have everything I need, and sometimes more than what I want.

I hope to do more to help those who don't have enough, whether it be education, love, food, or anything else that I can give.  I hope to become more myself so that I can serve better. And I hope to continue to heal my own food issues.  I feel blessed to have come to know about ETL, and blessed to be able to do it, and hope to continue to improve in this and other areas of my life every day.  Hooray for hope!!! It comes through Christ and will heal every hunger and hurt.
