Touching Hearts

So in my introduction post I mentioned my heart and my passion for Cambodia and Tibet. Even now as I sit and think about it, about the possibility and dreams that God has dropped into my heart it overwhelms me to the point where I want to cry. I find life so beautiful, so fresh and full of meaning lately and I truly believe its because everything within me is striving to accomplish God's purpose for my life: this specific purpose to help children half-way across the globe! South East Asia Prayer Center (SEAPC), the missions my family is connected with and helps, has a project currently in Tibet and the surrounding area. Because of the high altitudes in Tibet, it is my understanding, that more children are susceptible to congenital heart disease. The procedure which corrects CHD is very simple and not too expensive in the U.S., but in the Tibetan countryside where there are not doctors or medical facilities readily available, and families simply cannot afford it, children die from such a simple, fixable disease. However, SEAPC and the head of the ministry, Mark Geppart have surveyed and treated thousands of children and families across the countrysides of Tibet, while ministering the love of Christ. This amazes me so much! It was this specific project which really inspired the whole cupcake idea. I wanted to specifically raise awareness by making heart shaped cupcakes with red frosting, whose proceeds would go specifically funding even more screenings and heart procedures for the children of Tibet, to mend the holes in their heart while the Word of God heals the holes in all areas of their lives. The more I thought about it the bigger the dream grew...needless to say my dream is now a runaway dream and I don't want to try to suppress, catch, or stop them. I want to chase them. I want to connect people across the globe, use everyday measures, something as simple as a cupcake to change the life of a child. Everyone deserves life and a heart full of dreams. Everyone.
