As we all know, the devastation in Joplin is just heart wrenching. I have been glued to the TV since yesterday...oh, and the Facebook pages (Joplin Tornado Citizen Check and Help Find Will Norton) will seriously have you in tears feeling so helpless. I thank God that the one family I know there was all safe and sound. PTL!
I think it is just in my nature to want to drop everything and go there to do anything I can to help out. Like for real...it's tugging at my heart like crazy. If you read those FB pages, it just person after person looking for their loved ones. And since they're moving everyone to hospitals within a 100 mile radius in every direction, it's almost impossible to find anyone. :(
In case there is anyone like myself, wondering what in the world I can do to help from afar...I have a few ideas. First and foremost, The Red Cross. You can text 90999 to make a donation to the Red Cross. They will automatically add it to your phone bill. You can also donate $10 to the Joplin Relief Fund by texting "JOPLIN" to 864833. There is also some people in Joplin who have a t-shirt shop and are making these t-shirts (like the picture above) and donating 100% to the Red Cross.
You're God of this city, You're King of these people,
You're Lord of this nation, You are.
You're the light in this darkness, You're the hope to the hopeless, You're peace to the restless, You are.
There is no one like our God
There is no one like out God
Greater things have yet to come
A greater things are still to be done in this city....
