Putting Things in Perspective

On our 2 hour ride home after the game on Wednesday, I was thinking about how blessed I was that I was able to experience a game at UNC. While I was thinking this, I heard some people on the radio talking about what's going on in Haiti right now and the help that those people need. It got me to think about how all my problems are nothing compared to those people in Haiti. I can't imagine what it would be like to have family members missing or your home in shambles. Here I am on a dream trip feeling sorry for myself that I have no job or girl among other things. I'm sure that anyone over there would trade places with me in a second. I felt selfish because I will find another job; some lucky girl will come my way; and I know my family is at home safe. I also have plenty of other things going on for me that sometimes I take for granted: great friends & family, my own car, an education, and my health just to name a few. I've donated some money to help out and it's not like that money will go a long way to repairing these people's lives but my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone over there. Anyone who reads this please join me and say a prayer for those who have some real problems in their lives. If you are in, please comment and say "yes" that you will join me in praying and thinking about those people over there and may the Lord give them the strength to endure this tragic event.
