Invisible because no one will know if they live or die

ok here goes the ramblings of a restless heart!

-I don't want to sleep in my bed anymore because i know their are children i love asleep in the bush trapped and forced to fight by the demonic commands of Joseph Kony
-My stomach aches of hunger from only having one meal today but i can't bring myself to eat because i know this is how the many children i met in Uganda feel every night when they go to bed with empty stomachs.
-There are over 3,000 children that are now abducted and either forced to be child soldiers of Kony's Rebel Army or killed. Tiny children carrying guns, taught to be killers. Can you imagine!
-I can't stop crying because after months of ignoring the truth that my heart is still in Uganda I've finally accepted it, even though i'm not sure there is anything i can do about it right now.
-I want to change the world... yes, i am just a girl from tennessee but I want to make a difference for these children.. I want more than anything in my whole life for them to be rescued.
-After seeing their faces, holding their hands, and walking side by side with them I can't just give up and be content.. I must do something!
-The hardest part is letting God be in control and knowing that I am here for a reason.. and He will lead me back to Uganda when the time is right.
-Just because I'm stuck in the US doesn't mean I can't do anything.. I'm not sure how yet but I will be abducted on April 25th. I will leave my home and stay the night outside so the invisible children through our efforts will be seen.
