Pouring on the Help
1:31 PM
Have you heard of Hope Mob? Well, if not, today is the perfect day to learn!
Hope Mob is basically bringing together a "mob" of people to support good causes. Their "brief description" states... "
They have "stories" that people nominate such as providing a home for someone in a Uganda, building a well in Haiti, helping a family whose youngster has cancer, sending a high school class in Kenya to school, buying a van for rescued trafficking victims in Mexico City, etc. It's amazing. Their tagline is "Where generous strangers unite." and that becomes reality. These stories are voted on until one becomes the featured story of the day and it is then open for people to donate money toward.
I first learned of Hope Mob through a Haiti adoption group, as they are trying to get donated airline miles for those adopting from Haiti to become a featured story.
They normally take a while for a story to become featured... but today they are putting a halt to that in order to help those affected by the tragedy in Aurora, CO. Please go HERE to see for yourself the wonderful way they are banding together to help those in Colorado during this time! They are looking to raise a whopping $100,000! At this time they have almost $2,300. Is $100,000 do-able? Is it crazy? I think both! Our God is a mighty God! I have seen HIM raise $20,000 toward an adoption. I have seen HIM do some AMAZING things, and I know this goal is attainable!
GO HOPE MOB!

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky

God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
