India

I want to go to Calcutta and help the women and children living on its streets. Mother Theresa has got to be one of my favorite figures in history. To push through, this so called "reality" in America, it is false, it is a lie. There is a Kingdom waiting to be built. It costs leaving behind what we think we know, what we think we should have, the way we think things should be like. Where the voices of the children are crying out for hope to gleam in their world but for just a moment. Yet, here in America, I can get so sidetracked by the line at the drive through in Starbucks. Come on! My biggest dilemma of the day is choosing which pairs of shoes to wear. While children are out there with no shoes on their feet. I want to collect shoes to send to India. To Calcutta. Can one child have just one new pair of shoes today? can one child just have the luxury of not cutting their feet while running through the streets in Calcutta?
