SixtyFeet.

Today, I read this article about an inspiring couple who expanded their family to include two children from Uganda after learning about the existence of prisons for children and who continue to work in Eastern Africa through their ministry, SixtyFeet.

I'm always amazed by the stories of people who unquestioningly trust God by giving of their time, money, and other resources and who take delight in doing so. How often do I selfishly hold onto what I have, hoping to gain even more for myself, when others are in much greater need?

Lately, I've been thinking about my passions and the ways that God has gifted me-- what makes me excited? What do I truly care about? And I've been praying about how God wants me to use my passions and gifts. At the moment, I'm not completely sure what direction I'm headed in, but I know that God is going to reveal to me the ways that he desires me to serve him and that I have plenty of opportunities to do so everyday, wherever I am.
