143,000,000

Have you ever tried to go to sleep and couldn't? Then you realized that it wasn't just because you had enough sleep. It seemed there was some purpose for you being awake. That happened to me last night. I was laying in my bed, and my thoughts and my heart were just turned onto one focus: orphans. Did you know there are 143,000,000 documented orphans in the world right now? Did you know that every 18 seconds a child becomes an orphan? Do you not see how sad that is? I saw this video and it made me realize just how many orphans are in the world. Take that and put it up against James 1:27. What are we doing? God, what is my place in this? How do I handle the 143,000,000? Here is a video to give you more perspective. It opened my eyes.
