A flux of emails reminded me why I do what I do.
People.
For people, by people, because of people.
There is a woman with a hardly laugh, big hugs, and tender heart. She’s been a loyal reader since the inception of this blog but recently made her presence known by leaving comments. I know her story. I know her family. I know her heart.
Perhaps it’s the beauty of anonymity, but in an emotional state she confessed her own struggle while reading yesterday’s post about the working poor. I felt the black letter words radiate through the computer screen. I know what fear of the unknown feels like. Cavernous. Hollow. Desperate.
The phone latched onto the receiver and for a moment, I felt like the physical voice of God. Last night I received several emails from people who want to help buy food, presents, or donate money to as she houses ten people in a two-bedroom apartment. If I could have recorded her cry of sovereign providence, any skeptic would be wooed by her belief in the God who provides more than we could think or imagine (Eph. 3:20). Through her sobs she replied, I knew God would provide. I didn’t know how, but I knew God would provide.
If you would like to join those who have offered to help, whether it’s a $5 gift card or 5 million dollar check, please email me at bianca@inthenameoflove.org for more information. I’m BLOWN away by the readers of this blog and I love you more today than I did yesterday!*
