Perspective has a new spelling- It’s Haiti.

nFor those of us who live under a rock, wait no- they would know this a bit better than others... Haiti. Earthquake. Not pretty what so ever.

200 000 People or more and believed to be dead- we need to do something. That's why when Joel Houston said, Perspective has a new meaning- I understood. It's spelled HAITI. Perspective that is. Our focus and purpose for I-Heart, or anything really, should be the suffering in Haiti.

For more information, here's the CNN Website

Here is a random excerpt that scared me,

One woman, I could only see her head and the rest of her body was trapped under a block wall," said Jonathan de la Durantaye, who drove through Port-au-Prince after the quake. "I think she was dead. She had blood coming out of her eyes and nose and ears."

If there is anything you can do, do it- as for me, I’ll see what little I can give because every penny, or drop of sweat pulling someone out of death’s grasp… it’s worth another life saved.

Let me just retype something else I found that I’ve said myself many many times:

Our world is a mess. It needs justice. It needs help. But if not now,
WHEN? If not us, WHO? Me. and well you too.

What happens now? In a few weeks HAITI will slowly disappear from the news, and within a few months it’ll be a back story that shows up just once in a while. Are we aware that just because we can’t see it on the TV screen, that it’s stopped happening? That when the TV goes off, so does the suffering? No see that continues. They labour day and night, no electricity, no clean water, no food, no shelter. Unbearable heat. We can barely handle it for a few minutes on TV; we’re shocked by the image- but do we realize that those 3 minutes for us is their life.

I think a lot of us forget that we have the most powerful weapon above them all. Prayer. We need to stand together and pray for HAITI. Pray for the Flight crash to Ethiopia. Pray for Rwanda and Sierra Leon. Pray for your mom, or dad. Pray for the church. Pray for yourself, or your non-believer Friend. Pray for your country, and your leader. It’ll make a difference. That’s how powerful a prayer is. It can bring a city down to its knees or raise it to the heavens.

Why? You might ask. Here’s how I see it. We’ve all donated a ton of money to HAITI and her cause. So what? The children of Haiti are starving and thirsting. The families sleeping with nothing but the stars to cover them, because the money can’t reach them. No matter how much money we give, it can only help so much. Now we pray that they can reach HAITI, and the needy there.

Prayer is our answer, our sword and shield. It’s time we use it vigilantly.
